You are a warrior my friend 🧡

I did try, they were like ‘we don’t have anything here’ and then it was down to ‘soo do you want to keep this appointment or try again next month?’ And I had a sitter with the kid and had taken off work so I sucked it up. Like they always expect you to. The next time I went so far as to talk to another Dr in the practice but I kept being told over and over it wasn’t done and isn’t necessary. Definitely check out the podcast ‘the retrievals’ to learn more about how women’s pain is treated in ob/gyn

Personally I’ve had numerous cervical biopsies (as in they cut chunks out of you with the devil’s scissors) and the standard of care is no numbing agent or pain medication of any kind. The dr said to give a yell if I was going to faint bc that happens a lot. I asked why I couldn’t have something and they were like, ‘dunno. We just don’t do that’

There was a documented case of a nurse stealing pain medication and injecting women with saline to cover for it and it took years for her to be caught because no one believed the women who said they were in pain. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/22/podcasts/serial-the-retrievals-yale-fertility-clinic.html&ved=2ahUKEwi1n93Yip2FAxWONlkFHStzA7wQFnoECAUQAQ&usg=AOvVaw23_e6wsBLQ7jybQBvuJOvI

I need to know more

Here’s to the year of the turtle 🐢

I love this!

YES.

I’ll add it to the list! Kiddo is 4 so we’re probably just going to go to the Korean market and see what catches their interest

Damn! I was going to say something that would make you feel bad if you don’t accomplish it but the mole people situation sounds important

Hubs is making this with rice and bok choy. It’s just us and our kiddo tonight https://nolimitcooking.com/2022/11/03/wedding-banquet-style-roasted-chilean-sea-bass/

I’m still seeing so much growth in new content and communities, idk if the raw number of users is the metric we even should care about. Is it the best measure of quality?

Here’s what it’s like being their neighbor lol https://www.bizjournals.com/triangle/news/2023/11/03/epic-games-cary-hq-will-it-ever-happen.html

That’s exactly what a beetle would say

Oh hard same. I’m an elder millennial who has been extremely lucky in many ways and it just makes me realize how rigged the system is and I want to help the kids burn it down

I’m firmly convinced that the plague was involved in Baba Yaga’s origin story. She was like fuck all you diseased fuckers and got in her hut and walked away

Vulgar history

The look on doggo’s face 🤣🤣

Who knew my 3yo was right all along!

Omg this rings so true
