wow, no more anti-vax memes, there's already a perfect one

IUD placement can be used as an emergency contraceptive within the exact same timeframe as the emergency contraceptive pill (5 days).

Obviously not ideal. But an option, especially if you're over the weight recommendation (160# for Plan B, 190# for Ella). Idk what to expect in the coming months but our clinic is preparing the best we can because you are more than a vessel for reproduction no matter what the government says 💚

@vlrny I like to put flower seeds that all take the same conditions together in a seasoning shaker. That way if it's suddenly about to rain or an otherwise good condition to plant seeds there's no brain work or really any steps required besides grab my shaker and go.

smell ya later #caturday

For today's most relatable meme-

HPV vaccination at ages 9-12 is important for more reasons than just getting kids vaccinated before they become sexually active. Their immune systems have a better response at 9-12 than 13+ to the vaccine.

Parents, prevent 90% of HPV related cancers, get your kids vaccinated on schedule even though it feels kinda weird to think about your preteen one day being sexually active 💚

Absolutely ZERO cases of cervical cancer were reported in Scotland among women given the HPV vaccine series at 12-13 years old.

Australia is on track to eliminate cervical cancer by 2035 thanks to high rates of vaccination among all kids.

Love your kids by preventing cancer in two shots, get your kids vaccinated.

So dense, so tiny. Gotta fail to learn!!

first sour dough attempt

I don't normally wear gloves to cook this is my burned hand and the glove is full of aloe

I'd make kimchi but without an Asian store in a 45 minute radius of me idk how I'd make it any good unless I somehow become an excellent cabbage gardener and increase the amount of online shopping I do. All possible, but probably not this year.

I started this sourdough thing because my partner and I need more pre/probiotics in our life via fermented foods (remember, probiotic supplements are like one step above homeopathy on the proof scale)

Now I'm feeling interested in making my own kombucha. Idk if I'll be able to get to the farmers market as regularly this year to get my growler refilled.

My apple cider vinegar is almost (finally) finished so I'll have my large cold brew jar back again I can use.

I got myself registered for a community defender training webinar next week that's being put on by the National Immigration Project

If you work with the public, it's a good idea even if you yourself have no deportation concerns.

I am full of lentils and beans and fury.

talking nonstop about the world ending only helps those that want to end the world

be solution focused, not panic focused

everyone has a part to play, find yours and lock in

If you feel lost and unsure what your next steps are, you can always start with going to the library.

Check things out. Doesn't matter what, get yourself a good story to read instead of doom scrolling.

Libraries and other safety net places will be working harder than ever to justify their funding. Keep their numbers high and healthy to make it a little bit easier for them.

thinking about being warm outside

weird for me but I'm really looking forward to spring this year. even though we don't think we will be able to swing a spring Moab camping trip.

I moved 1200 miles away for the mountains not the desert so it always surprises me how much I've come to love the biome.

if ghosts could hurt people I feel like a lot of white folks lineages would have ended a very long time ago

Evergreen reminder that incarcerated persons make up 30% of wildfire fighters in California.

Felons are not allowed to be firefighters, for most of those folks they are risking their life just to have NO chance of employment in the field after they get out of prison.
