IUDs do not work by preventing implantation of a fertilized egg. This is wrong and a lie concocted to withhold highly effective long-term contraception

And maybe, just fucking maybe, we want to be treated how they fucking treat men. That's really it. Treat us as goddamn people

Hi, Iโ€™m God.

Jesus and I agree that starving the poor so you can build yourself golden bathrooms and golden ballrooms is evil. Anyone who does that shall burn for eternity. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Thanks,

God

โ€˜Humungous victoryโ€™: B.C.โ€™s ultra-specialist cancer surgeons now operating at full capacity They are the meticulous, innovative surgeons extracting skin cancer from the most sensitive of areas and after years of advocacy, theyโ€™ll be able to see twice as many British Columbians.

Healthcare systems are notoriously complex so it can seem like the most obvious way to manage budgets is scaling back on staff costs

A less obvious (but better!) way to save money is to treat patients before they get worse

Hereโ€™s a BC example of the latter, by me:

This graph says it all: instead of starting to go down, the *annual increase* of atmospheric CO2 is setting new records. We're making climate change worse at a record rate.
Turning this around should be our top priority, and it's not.
