Ugh, that’s crummy. I’m sorry that was your experience. My NP has been quite good about it.

That's totally understandable. Just thought I'd share my experience, since I've been very happy with the results.

I was in a similar situation, and my doctor recommended an IUD. Now I don't have any periods, and it is glorious! Highly recommend. Important note though: the insertion is incredibly painful. Ask for local anaesthetic or another, better pain relief than "take ibuprofen an hour before the procedure."

You should care about this because trans people are human beings with inalienable human rights, but even if you don't, you should care about this for your own personal safety

First they violate the rights of a group they think no one will fight for, and then they come for the rest of us

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period."

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow

It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker

This was never about woman's sports

Epstein Files Are Missing Records About Woman Who Made Claim Against Trump

We seem to be nearing the heart of the story, and a lot will depend on the nerve of the journalists--NPR, the NYT, etc--to stay on this story relentlessly. Will they give it the same kind of coverage they gave Biden's age--i.e., full bore, around the clock, 50 opeds?

Thanks for the reply. I’ll look for them on future springtime visits.

Wow, those are stunning. I grew up in the Bay Area foothills but never saw these! Are you in the southern part of the state?

I feel this so strongly. Covid was a test of our moral integrity & decency -- *not just elites, but all of us* -- and we failed.

I genuinely think one reason Covid has been memory-holed so hard, & so crusted w/ myths & conspiracy theories, is that on some level we know this & are ashamed.

Jeopardy during black history month should primarily be about embarrassing super smart white contestants on their glaring gaps in knowledge.

I feel your pain. The FedEx truck parked directly in front of my house, and didn't deliver a package to us. So cruel.

The world would be so much better if people understood this, and not only about cycling.

One user stating that riding bikes is not an option for Calgary families. My response says that it is (& my family, and many others do it).

Currently debating the viability of bikes are transportation & what I'd really like to say is, "just because you lack the creativity to imagine a world where someone does something differently than you, doesn't negate it as a viable option." #yycbike

My watch warns me when I’m on my bike. Like. Ma’am. It’s not that loud, and what do you want me to do anyway?

I think you're right. Most people are like that in general.

Would they rather wait until it fails? How long do they suppose they would have to manage with one bridge then?

From San Francisco's experience with speed cameras. We really need the province to allow this in Victoria, BC.

I have the sense that Canada is among the best right now, but β€œbest” is still not good.

It really does. I’m so angry at humanity. Thanks for answering my question. I was hoping you would know somewhere that’s doing a better job, because Canada is letting us down for sure.

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

No matter how many mass murders are committed by white males you'll never see a public outcry to end healthcare for or abolish the rights of white males.

Not a bad start, but what would be ideal is not needing a car in the first place. ie. well-connected, frequent commuter rail, good bus services, etc.
