Yup, I stand corrected. This is the way.

You’re a better person than me. I would have smashed that Bluetooth speaker the very first morning…. I am, not a morning person…

Excuse me my kind gentle person, I believe one says, Fuck Nestle.

Not when teens have access to finance 101 classes in high school. It was an elective in my HS and you better believe I took it. I learned how to do my taxes, balance a budget. It was great. I wish this was a hard requirement for all HS students.

But I will agree, teenagers are pretty stupid. but at least I was a knowledgeable stupid teenager.

It’s always hard to know what kind of outdoor space you’re working with when it comes to rentals. There are indoor composters like Lomi which can do it indoors but the cost of the unit is out of reach for most. Composting yourself will always attract pests. It’s not fun when those pests make it inside your place. Reach out to local community gardens and see if they have recommendations for composting your food scraps. I’m fortunate enough to have my compost picked up every week. I pay for this privilege and again, I know it’s not affordable for many but I glad I’m able to make the investment. I probably empty my normal trash bag once every 2 weeks.

Fuck him and his stupid ass Reese’s mug.

I believe they finally said fuck it and approved many of them today.

I appreciate the links. And yes, I agree there is no singular approach just like there is no singular type of uterus, cervix etc… I should clarify that I do agree sedation is an edge case necessity for some women. But something like a lidocaine paracervical block should be offered just like you would be offered it at the dentist for cavity fillings.

I never implied that that were readily available in Canada. That fact that somewhere in North America that offers this at all, is astonishing to me. If it was available in Mexico, I would be equally astonished.

I’m not arguing that women’s pain isn’t taken seriously.

But you did.

nor would I consider it inhumane to perform it without.

Why would you not consider anesthetics medically necessary for a painful procedure? That’s insane to me. It’s given to men who get vasectomies, standard. Why would you not consider that inhumane?

Listen, my point of this post was, that these options are available. Maybe they are available in the States. That would be news to me. I said ‘TIL’d this is a thing. And it’s in Canada.’

I think we can both agree both our countries medical systems are fucked and we should be demanding better care from all our providers.

This is the reason they are traveling to Montreal so yes, it appears to be available in Canada. But it absolutely is inhumane when countless women who ask for basic and simple numbing treatment for an IUD insertion/removal are denied and then gaslit into believing that it’s not necessary and they don’t really know their own bodies. Im glad you’ve never experienced it.

Pain management for women, especially women of color, is a sick joke in the States.

2008 Accord owner here. I’m not giving her up anytime soon.

I drive a 2008 Honda Accord. I refuse to give it up because of how dependable it is. The best features of the this car is the electric heated seats and it’s dependability. knock on wood I’ve yet to encounter any major issues within its entire life span. I’m keeping her until she quits on me.

In fact, instead of putting money towards a new car I’m going to invest in her body and interior. I can’t stand what new cars seem like these days.

Yep same

“While I am disappointed by the Supreme Court’s decision in the Sackett case, EPA and Army have an obligation to apply this decision alongside our state co-regulators, Tribes, and partners,” EPA Administrator Michael Regan said in a statement.

You have a fucking obligation to protect the environment. Fuck Michael Regan, Fuck the Supreme Court. I’m so fucking tired.

I’ve found my people… as I cry into this shawl project on my lap, of merino fingering yarn I paid to have imported because “you want to support small yarn producers” telling myself, “it’s not soft enough. Just throw it away and buy that cashmere/silk blend that you know feels like butter.” 🫠

There was this very popular kickstarter for this reusable floss pick (you just tie on new floss). I’m not sure how well they fulfilled kickstarter orders but i ordered one on their website, pre launch, and basically got a bounced email when I tried to contact them about it. Pretty unfortunate.

Better stock up on your chocolate reserves though, just in case.
