It took until this year for doctors in the US to start giving a numbing agent for IUD insertion, so I think the medical industry as a whole underestimates the amount of pain people with uteruses feel

Yes, but most insurance doesn’t cover it if there’s no medical issue with the uterus or high risk of cancer. I spent two years trying to get mine removed, and even with a medical history of excessive pain and very long and unpredictable periods I can’t get it removed. For that problem they usually suppress cycles with progesterones.
They offered to take out one ovary when I was still considering medical transition 😭 I’m having pain and bleeding again with an implant that supplies progestin, and they still won’t remove my uterus lol


I have two friends who recently graduated with electrical engineering degrees, and they can’t find work where they live. If you’re able to apply across the country and move, that may give you better results, but they are both now looking for jobs outside of their degree focus. One is actually doing IT for the university he earned his EE BS from, but there’s no opportunity for growth there because it’s an incredibly tiny school and community.
It’s been over a decade since I worked in tech, but experience was king. I’m earning a degree in biology now, because by the time I left Microsoft I knew how easy it would be to automate my job


As a fellow flat-footed human that prefers putting weight on one foot, you might need to get over-protonation insoles. I’ve found they really force me to put weight on both feet and they do protect your ankles as well. I have been happy with PowerStep Maxx in the past, but it’s been a couple years since I purchased new ones.
I’ve also been told by a podiatrist to get Hoka shoes, but that’s outside my price range lol


White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly said that complaints about the strikes were an effort to “distract” from the ongoing government shutdown.
We can be angry about multiple things at once, like the Trump admin killing random people in boats, and the Trump admin disappearing thousands of immigrants, and the Trump admin pressuring congress to avoid negotiating lower Healthcare costs, and…


“forest spirit in autumn” I wrapped some silk flowers and leaves onto a headband with suede cord, glued pieces of the remainder to my face and body, and wore flowy clothes that I already own.
Cost: $5.88


He put his hand on my lower back after puberty, where before he’d just hold my hand. I should probably have clarified that. My dad was not an affectionate man.
This was also in the early 00s when purity balls were common, so having attended one of those I definitely feel like his hand placement was possesive


My mother did not. My father may have, but what I remember is when I was older and he started putting his hand on my back when we were out together. That was weird and possesive
My parents did not love me lol
Why are they eating a pinecone? That sounds uncomfortable


Sorry, too busy trying to not be disabled
Tag yourself!
I’m the shapeless blobs in the back


Bill Gates knows better than most that there’s enough money in the world to try and tackle both climate change and poverty, and still leave him a billionaire.
I think the wording that really bugs me in his quote is “healthy and productive life”. If all the alarms are true we’re already fucked on climate, so he’s concerned about maintaining a labor force.
I always thought that part of the song was about domestic violence, and she’s covering up bruises. I guess it could also be covering up injection bruises


Here is the study.
This was such a complex study, if I’m reading it correctly. Ultimately they ruled out other parts of the vaccine to find what was causing the immune response “reset”, and found it was only the mRNA that was eliciting the response.


My dog and I were attacked last year by an off-leash dog while walking our neighborhood. Both myself and the other owner had to provide proof of rabies vaccination to animal control. Their dog drew blood on me and mine punctured the other dog’s ear while defending me. If they couldn’t provide proof, or if there was history of previous human bites the dog would have been put down. In my state, anyway.
The vaccine I usually hear people turning down out here is the rattlesnake venom vaccine.


“Johnson imagines himself in the role of cult leader”
He was cast because he was in the mad max movie a couple years before, and the director thought he could hold his own ground opposite Schwarzenegger

Seriously, he does not have a single clue what he’s marching the US into. That’s going to be incredibly messy at best
