ram aside I keep telling people that the aim of restrictions on allowing women to control their reproduction is that the best way to keep them from caring that you're raping and exploiting the laughably unsafe labor of their children is to make sure they have too many to care for.

my FIRST thought being an RN well verses in sexual health. You gotta stay low and grind with this one you can't jump on it like you can with regular cowgirl. also the view ain't great as the cowgirl.

I straight up used draw.io to create a paper form. I needed high information density so I can't waste space formatting stuff the normal way, I need something more graphical and publisher got axed.

I mean. I told a baby psych nurse that I'm basically a professional vibe checker. I have a bunch of education and experience to know what to do with that vibe check but 60% of my assessment is just looking at somebody and seeing if their posture lights up the part of my brain that remembers getting hit as a child.

here’s a markdown formatted quit plan for your notes app (based on this) with bullets for common answers to the questions that you can delete if they don’t apply / keep or add ones that do.

Personal Notes

…and if you’re a transgirl I’d like to add to your reasons list that estrogen + smoking significantly increases the coagulability of your blood. I’ve had several transgirl patients with DVTs / PEs / strokes even who did not know that can happen!

Almost every other animal dies pretty quickly after having their last round of children / losing fertility, but humans live almost twice as long. Elders have a literal hardcoded purpose in human evolution.

idk I think people shouldn't be able to sell their children into marriages at 14 years old just because they don't share my beliefs that that's horrible. Meanwhile they think that an abortion harms a child in a way that outweighs b the mother's right to decide whether or not her body gets used as life support and I don't. I think whether or not it's important to meddle in other's private and family lives is actually a fairly complicated question.

I'm also shocked to see that pornhub, xhamster, and xvideos are all 20+ entries down. Maybe the internet isn't for porn, at least anymore. What is this world coming to? LITERALLY???
