Imagine your scientist f/o inventing a new kind of birth control for the two of you. They'll do everything they can to come up with something that's easy to use, and most importantly, doesn't have any health risks or bothersome side effects. They'll try to come up with something that you don't have to keep track of all the time, but only has to be renewed once every few months or so. Maybe they even manage to create something that can be used regardless of which biological sex a person has, so you're free to decide who of you is going to take it, or maybe you want to take turns or both of you use it to make sure. And should you decide one day that you want to have children now, it will be completely reversible without issues, and you can start your family together.

#found something from like half a year in my drafts but I think I still like it so here it is ig #I was definitely writing this with a certain f/o in mind <3 #Heinz and Selina would absolutely want to have babies later on but until then he'd want to make sure they have nothing to worry about #a good thing about fictional others is that you generally don't have to care about these things anyway because it's not real #but idk I just find the idea cute and love to imagine that he'd do that #also this is probably not scientific at all but it's fiction so it doesn't have to be :)#self ship #self shipping community #self insert x canon #f/o imagines #f/o imagine #scientist f/o #self ship imagine #imagines #writing #birth control mention #suggestive?#selniaswriting

I had to start taking BC again because of stupid uterus having shit. So now I can’t cum as easily as I used to and my sex drive is lower. On one hand, more of a challenge can be hot. On the other hand, I don’t have that kind of time, patience, or control. On the other, other hand…

(Steph, Jason, and Tim sitting on the couch in Wayne Manor)

Steph: So, why did you and Rose break up?

Tim, curious:

Jason: Well, we broke up for the reason every other couple breaks up. We weren't having the amount of sex required to ignore the bad things about each other.

Tim: ....what...?

Jason, not stopping: It's just like this one phrase; "Love is blind. Lust is Hellen Keller."

Tim, spitting coffee out: JeEZus!

Steph: We don't have that problem, do we?

Jason: Oh, hell no. Three times a day is perfect.

Tim, partially choking: STOP TALKING-

Say what you will about Martin's writing style (and I've said plenty) but I do think he's got the White Walkers' mythos worked out for a future book and IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SO NICE IF THE SHOWRUNNERS HAD DONE 1/100TH OF THAT WORK SETTING THEM UP

Gus: I am mad all over again that there was absolutely zero explanation given as to why/how the Night King operates or how his powers work or why he chose now to attack or ANYTHING ELSE

Gus: on the plus side it means I get to make up a whole subplot that, not to brag, I'm comfortable saying is at least as good as anything D&D could've made up IF THEY HAD EVER EVEN BOTHERED

Gus: but like - okay so craster's infant sons get sacrificed to the Night King, who them magics them into White Walkers as babies

Mardia: Yep yep

Gus: so does that mean there's a white walker nursery

Mardia: Omg

Gus: do they have to change diapers

Mardia: LOOOOOOOL

Gus: is there a white walker daycare center

Gus: how does the night king TEACH his lil adopted monster babies

Gus: is there like storytime around the - well not fire

Gus: does the Night King remember what it was like to sit around a fire?

Gus: does he miss being a human and all his rage at the spell the Children of the Forest put on him to kill the First Men has curdled his brain?

Gus: what was he DOING for like 8 millennia, just hanging out?

Gus: did he get really good at ice fishing?

Gus: DO THEY EAT?

Gus: where the fuck do they get their snazzy outfits from

Gus: are there white walker tailors

Gus: what's the currency situation

Mardia: Lololololololol

Gus: I'M JUST SAYING

#game of thrones #game of thrones motherfuckers #is there a white walker barber? some of those dudes have cute lil' bobs that takes maintenance #how did they learn to ride horses if they were turned at birth #again is there some sort of montessori school for white walkers #also why does the Children of the Forests' (Children's? of the Forest?) spell work on ALL life?#like wouldn't you have gone to pretty great lengths to control scope creep on this zombie spell #there's literally a one-sentence explanation of 'we needed to defend ourselves from men' ok but the Night King kills BEARS #not to mention a pretty big dragon #IDK maybe it just the *general stuff* right now but I always disliked the Night King as an enemy #because it combines two pretty shitty tropes: 1) the remorseless implacable evil who can never be reasoned/empathized with #and 2) the evil that the persecuted minority sekretly devised themselves to disastrous ends #plus the show isn't smart enough to pick a lane #the night king could be just a force of nature like a tsunami #OR he could be an angry vengeful creature twisted by his own creation - an actual CHARACTER #instead he's just an ice nazi from some terrible video game of the early oughts who smirks as he kills people #anyway dm me for the 2k backstory on the creation of the Night King and his White Walkers #winky face

so tired of birth control (medicine) shaming. Like yes it’s a band aid fix in some cases but we do very much USE band aids?

#like do you want to bleed out while waiting years for surgery? no? ok #do you want to have a mental health crisis from hormone imbalance? no?#has no one heard of harm reduction in their lives #not even MENTIONING how it’s helped equality #medical stuff tw #birth control #personal

Major conservative influencers on social media platforms such as Twitter and Rumble have coalesced in recent months around talking points that connect birth control with a variety of negative health outcomes, which experts say instill fear in women who could otherwise benefit from using birth control.

But the information the influencers are referring to lacks crucial context, says Dr. Danielle Jones, an OB-GYN, and they fail to include recent scientific developments that challenge their narrative.

Tim Pool, Ben Shapiro and Steve Bannon have all made anti-birth control content in the past six months. Sometimes, they feature female conservative personalities who make content about women’s issues.

Alex Clark, who hosts a pop culture show for the youth conservative messaging organization Turning Point USA, is one conservative woman who has railed against hormonal birth control in recent months. The progressive watchdog publication Media Matters for America first reported that Clark said her “mission” is “to get young women off this pill.” In a response sent in a direct message, Clark wrote “Birth control can be right for some in some cases, but we shouldn’t just take it blindly because of acne and we shouldn’t treat it as the default for all women.”

While some strains of conservative politics have spent years attacking birth control, the more recent resurgence of anti-birth control talking points comes alongside a broader push from online conservative creators against the medical establishment and treatments from vaccines to gender-affirming care, all of which have been recommended in certain circumstances by the American Medical Association. In her response, Clark called birth control “synthetic,” as opposed to pregnancy, which she called “natural.”

The social media trend of attacking birth control has also coincided with legal and legislative efforts targeting birth control access, most notably emergency contraceptives. In response to the Supreme Court’s ruling that revoked the constitutional right to an abortion, Justice Clarence Thomas wrote that the court “should reconsider” other decisions, including those codifying the right to contraceptive access.

Jones, who is also a YouTube creator with 1.2 million subscribers, has made multiple videos discussing the rhetoric around reproductive health. In an interview, she said the primary tactic she’s observed on social media to undermine birth control has been “to take a study that backs up what they’re saying, then use that to draw some extravagant conclusion.”

“It’s thinly veiled, but it’s veiled enough that the average person often doesn’t identify it,” she said.

Many videos point to a 2018 study that found an association between taking hormonal birth control and suicide attempts and suicide in women in Denmark. But researchers and physicians who have cited the study have urged patients not to stop using hormonal birth control. Rather, health care experts have said that doctors should discuss any potential mood effects of the medication with patients, as other studies have contradicted the 2018 study, and pregnancy can also have mood side effects.

Ashley St. Clair, who has more than 673,000 Twitter followers, referred to the association suggested in the study in a tweet in which she said “Did you know the birth control pill increases risk of suicide and suicidal ideations?” In June, Twitter owner Elon Musk liked a number of anti-birth control tweets, including St. Clair’s tweet.

Jones said the 2018 Dutch study into suicide and hormonal birth control was “really important and well-done.”

But she said just reading the 2018 study’s abstract and drawing conclusions from that alone is lacking crucial context when making medical decisions. Primarily, she said, the risks of contraceptive use are not compared to the same risks in pregnancy, which she said are higher. The 2018 study specifically acknowledges that pregnancy also has association with higher rates of suicide.

In a phone interview, St. Clair said she believes women are being put on birth control at a young age without being told the risks of depression and suicidal thoughts.

“I was on it at 14 and I wasn’t told these things,” she said. “I really believe there needs to be more education for women around this.”

Similarly, Clark wrote in her response to NBC News that she wants patients to be “radically thoughtful” about making medical decisions.

“That starts with understanding the potential side effects, not downplaying them,” she wrote.

Jones tells her own social media audience to consider the motivation of people who post about birth control online. Oftentimes, they’re coming from a religious or political perspective, or they’re trying to sell something, she said, adding they are neglecting the scientific consensus in favor of alarmist sentiments. She pointed out that the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists has recommended that birth control be offered over the counter to anyone.

“There’s extensive data on this,” she said. “If birth control is safe enough to advocate that it should be over the counter, there’s absolutely no reason it should start to become a topic of legislation about who can access it and why.”

Still, Jones said, the way conservative influencers weaponize research about birth control's side effects has a real-world effect.

She said it is a daily occurrence for women at her practice to decline using hormonal birth control out of fear that it will cause permanent changes to their body and fertility.

“You basically are scaring people out of using birth control and not even comparing it to pregnancy,” Jones said.

In place of birth control, she said, many conservatives have taken a page from the natural health community and promoted cycle tracking and other fertility awareness methods. Several of the female conservative influencers write for and share articles from Evie Magazine, a media company whose founder also created a cycle-tracking startup called 28 by Evie. Conservative billionaire tech titan Peter Thiel has invested in the startup and more recently in fertility companies targeting international markets. During her interview, St. Clair also suggested that women should be taught to track their cycles as an alternative to medication birth control.

But, Jones said, fertility awareness methods to prevent pregnancy could fail “even in the most experienced person.” They require taking the temperature every day before getting out of bed, monitoring cervical mucus and knowing exactly what to look for, keeping track of all of these things on a chart, and avoiding intercourse or using another method to prevent pregnancy within the fertile window, she said.

According to the Mayo Clinic, fertility cycle tracking is among the least effective types of birth control, and that effectiveness varies by couple. It said that as many as 24 out of 100 women who use natural family planning will become pregnant within the first year. A 2021 study of period-tracking apps for fertility planning found that out of 10 apps used, all of them gave conflicting dates of fertility, most of which were incorrect.

“People get pregnant because they didn’t know they had to do all these things to make that effective,” she said.

Angel, is Husk awake yet? Did you figure out exactly how you're going to apologize to him?

**An hour later**

Husk: *still unconscious*

Belphegor: *checking his body* Well whatever he was given was strong and *feels around his abdomen with magic* huh he’s grown a new organ…

Lucifer: A new organ?

Belphegor: Like a woman. It feels like a succubus womb. Very particular. Do you have the drugs that caused this?

Lucifer: No. it was in food he ate. Will the effects wear off?

Belphegor: not particularly. This is something entirely new. He’ll wake up probably wanting to have sex. His hormones seem to be high as well. Like an animal on heat. It could wear off in days…maybe even weeks.

Lucifer: Fuck! What am I suppose to do?!

Belphegor: Well you could impregnate him and then abort it.

Lucifer: Ahhh…that sounds uh rather fucked. Got any birth control options?

Belphegor: I wouldn’t know how what kind of birth control would work with sinners! I’d have to examine his blood. *gets a few needs out* Hold his arm out for me I need to draw as much as I can.

*Lucifer holds Husk’s arms and several vial of blood are drawn and sealed*

Belphegor: Thanks Luci. I’ll let you know when the results come in. And let me know if anything changes!

Lucifer: Sure! Without a doubt.

“Warwick launched his final bid at kingmaking, this time in alliance with Margaret of Anjou to restore Henry VI. He and Clarence landed in Devon while the King was in Yorkshire. Elizabeth (Woodville)’s initial reaction was to prepare for a siege in the Tower of London where she had already retired in expectation of the imminent birth of another child. But on 1 October news reached the capital that the King was preparing to set sail from Bishop’s Lynn, abandoning his kingdom. With no hope of imminent rescue, Elizabeth moved swiftly into the Sanctuary of Westminster Abbey with her mother and her daughters. She sent Abbot Thomas Millyng to advise the Mayor and Aldermen that she was surrendering the Tower, and consequently Henry VI, into their custody.

- J.L Laynesmith, “Elizabeth Woodville: The Knight’s Widow” in “Later Plantagenet and Wars of the Roses Consorts” / “The Last Medieval Queens, English Queenship 1445-1503″

"Elizabeth (Woodville) at first fortified the Tower of London against the approaching Lancastrians, but then decided instead to hand over custody of the Tower to the mayor and aldermen of London while she went into sanctuary at Westminster Abbey. It was a move which not only protected her daughters, who were with her, but also saved London from attack, which perhaps explains some of the praise she later received. The author of 'The Historic of the Arrival of Edward IV, who claimed to have witnessed much of what he recorded, stressed

the right great trowble, sorow, and hevines, whiche [the queen] sustayned with all manar pacience that belonged to eny creature, and as constantly as hathe bene sene at any tyme any of so highe estate to endure; in the whiche season natheles she had browght into this worldc, to the Kyngs grcatystc joy, a fayrc son.

...When Edward (IV) arrived, there was a scene of family bliss, in which the queen's vulnerability and domesticity could be contrasted with his heroism. The king was thus presented in an unusually human guise, which might appeal to readers familiar with such partings themselves throughout the civil wars:

The king comfortid the quene, and other ladyes ckc; His swete babis ful tendurly he did kys; The yonge prynce he behelde, and in his armys did bere. Thus his bale turnyd hym to blis.

#historicwomendaily #elizabeth woodville #history #edward iv #mine #the wars of the roses #i have a major issue with the way this is viewed by the vast majority of people tbh #for one: so many people conveniently forget that she was the one who controlled and was apparently fortifying the ToL #(which included the captive Henry VI btw)#while she was literally 8 months pregnant #she only gave it up after she learned that edward iv was also fleeing. it's SO important and interesting #and yet most people either don't know about it or conveniently flash forward to when she entered sanctuary #and my second issue: SO MANY PEOPLE INCLUDING HISTORIANS tend to treat her flight to sanctuary as some kind of indication of her personalit #when the truth of the matter is that SHE HAD NO OTHER CHOICE #as david baldwin rightly pointed out -as an englishwoman of the gentry she did not have foreign resources shelter or support at her disposa #the way every queen before her (in theory for lots of them as it wasn't required) possessed #nor was elizabeth a valuable heiress (like anne Neville or her own daughter eoy)#not to mention the very obvious fact that she was heavily pregnant (and gave birth just a month later) with three very young daughters #like. literally what else was she supposed to do? where else was she supposes to go?#her vulnerability was unprecedentedly horrific and people & historians don't emphasize the comparative degree of it as much as they should #at that point elizabeth literally didn't have any other options other than sanctuary. it wasn't much of a choice #it's strange because elizabeth's status has been discussed a lot in theory but rarely discussed in terms of how it affected her in PRACTISE #and this is a key example of that #among many others

i’m sorry i keep venting but i swear this is my lowest. and i don’t really have any other way to filter it out because it’s like it’s consuming me and i can’t get it out of my head and i don’t wanna relapse again so. tw for self harm, sa mentions and suicide (i’m not gonna do anything but things will be mentioned.

today has been absolute hell. i don’t know why but the ask from this morning has me all jumpy or whatever. i just feel sick. i dunno. i guess i deserve it. i deserve to feel this way. i deserve what happened to me because i hurt people. i don’t like to say i was assaulted because i was young when it happened (8-12y/o or so) and it just kinda feels like i don’t have a right to say that because it wasn’t that much. like my grandpa used to slap me on the ass. he touched my chest area once or twice but that was it. but he did that to a lot of people. and i dunno. i feel like i can’t call it assault because it wasn’t. he didn’t know what he was doing because he had alzheimer’s and was demented. i dunno. i wish he was nicer. he used to scream at me and my brothers a lot. he made us cry and hide a lot too. he wasn’t very nice. but he’s still family and i have to love him. and i thought i was over it but the stupid ask from this morning just had me like…i dunno. feeling weird.

i suppose i deserved it. if i told my family they would tell me im being a dramatic attention seeker. so i guess that’s what im being. but i dunno. i hate complaining about this stuff because it doesn’t do anything. but still. and the shit about my brother doesn’t bother me as much. he was probably joking around or whatever when he was touching my clothes. it’s blurry now. but it’s whatever. i deserve this all. i deserve it. and i keep telling myself that.

i relapsed last night. for the first time in about nine months. i had one of the worst mental breakdowns of my life. i was just stuck on the bathroom floor crying while i relapsed. it wasn’t that bad. i shouldn’t count it as s/h. it never broke skin. or well; that much at least. i don’t even know hat happened, i was just thinking for too long and i ended up spiraling. i thought about ending it last night while taking my meds because i was thinking about how easy it would’ve been. i deserve it. but i was thinking like…i dunno. running from this won’t do anything. so i guess i have to face it myself.

every time i hear my mom tell me im a loyal friend, or that im kind, or whatever, all i can think about is how many people i’ve hurt. and it’s just become my life now. i hardly sleep. i either don’t eat or i eat til i feel like throwing up. i feel like there’s no escape and i did this all to myself. i wish i could turn back time. i do. but i cant. i wish that i could tell my past self what a fucking idiot she was. i don’t want to keep fighting this. i wanna be happy. but i feel like i can’t do anything.

everyone says im just doing ‘good’. good in school, in clubs, in whatever. but good isn’t great. and i need to be great. i need to be exceptional. i need to be exemplary. i need to be the best. that’s always where my mind is at. and if i’m not the best, i’m nothing. and i am nothing. i will always be nothing. because i can’t get off my lazy ass to do anything productive so i either drown myself in work or i do nothing but waste time holed up in my room because there’s something wrong with me and i can’t turn it off.

i’m scared. but i deserve to be scared. i deserve all of this and all of what’s to come. i don’t even think it’s because of friend issues either anymore. i just finally woke up and realized how meaningless everything i do is. because i’m not a good friend. i’m not a good sister. i’m not a good partner. i’m not anything. i’m not the best and when i’m not the best, i’m nothing.

#vent #tw sa mention #tw suicide mention #tw self harm #tw self destructive behavior #tw vent #im sorry i keep venting #im sorry i haven’t done anything today #im at my lowest and i don’t know why #i think part of it is the birth control im taking #but i just feel like i don’t have the same motivation i did a week ago #i’m sorry for not posting today #i’m not in a good place #please don’t send any asks like that again #i know it seems dramatic to be all ‘boohoo my day was ruined by an ask’ but i don’t wanna relive any of the past rn #please

it's so strange cis-het men think cis women baby trap them when literally every stat on DV and child abuse constantly disprove that. Like, you really think the person who has the most to lose in terms of physical health, finances, and resulting social standing by becoming pregnant is trapping you?

#og post #nothing just cis het men getting on my nerves again #like it's ridiculously common for assholes to sabotage a woman's birth control in order to keep her in an abusive situation #not to mention men who use children as leverage in divorce courts #or men who leave with little to no financial expectations or support soon after #and don't often experience community rejection and judgement for a pregnancy occurring under socially contentious circumstances #just ugh

I hate hearing about the Quiverfull movement. I hate hearing about it politically. I hate hearing about it from people who don't know anything about it. I hate hearing about it from people who only know the Duggars. I hate hearing about it from people who grew up next to it, but not in it. I hate hearing about it from women stuck in it right now. I hate hearing about it from women who were stuck in it. I hate the Quiverfull movement and I hate hearing about it.

#It got mentioned in the latest episode of Some More News and I'm so fucking upset #not by the video but just the concept cause it's with pictures of the Duggars and Im like #idk #it makes me feel weirdly hopeless #Im getting top surgery probably sometime this year if the surgeons approve me in a couple weeks #and I plan on getting a hysterectomy at some point for my endometriosis #which I know isn't a cure but it'll help #I don't plan to have kids but my family follows the Quiverfull idea #they aren't in the movement itself but they definitely follow the idea of be fruitful and multiply #I talked with my grandmother recently about my birth control implant and she joked about how if they had those back in the day #she would've stopped at 3 kids #she had 6 and says she wanted 12 #at least #She stopped because another child would've killed her #and 6 children need 2 parents #but she joked about stopping at 3 then sighed and looked out distantly #and said well no I wouldn't have used it. I had to trust the lord with how many children I have #my nana is 81 years old but she is Alive and Kicking #I haven't seen her this tired since my grandfather was in the hospital #and I know she doesn't regret having her 6 kids #she loves her dozens of grands and great grands #but she's tired #and she was tired back then #I see it in my dad too. He was the oldest #He does what he needs to do then finds his little area to rest. He was parentified #he had to help raise the rest and escaped to college when he could #I'm an only child biologically. I have 6 stepsiblings. I helped take care of them at 11 years old #and the cycle continues #ex christian #religious trauma

Just want to take moment to give this knowledge out to all my period-suffering peeps.

Everyone knows about birth control. It’s a pill, or you can get like an iud or you can get surgery to get specific organs removed/tied up, right? Well, the concept of needing to go under the knife to reduce periods seems extreme (and expensive.)

So what’s a person to do?

Ask you doctor for Extended Cycle Birth Control Pills.

They’re an oral med, but they reduce your number of periods from 12 times a year to a measly four times a year. On some insurances, these are completely covered, but even with my shitty insurance that doesn’t cover it, they’re roughly 30 a month. Honestly, when you think of the cost of all the Cycle supplies you don’t have to buy (including excess pain meds, icy hots, and comfort items) they really pay for themselves.

And perhaps most importantly, when they do finish their cycle, and you period starts, I’ve found this medication has severely reduced the pain/time/heaviness of my periods, to the point where they’re basically only 2-3 days long, and a basic Tylenol makes the pain go away!

Anyway, it might be that everyone knows about these and I just missed out, but considering the amount of sex ed we don’t have in my country, I doubt it. Anyway, I just wanted to spread the news!

#menstrual health #period cramps #birth control #planned parenthood #seriously when my doctor #mentioned a birth control #that could cut periods down to a third #it was life changing

Sonic actually got upset with anyone in the comics who referred to him as either Ogilvie or Mautrice, this included his own Comic dad so even if it was canon then it wouldn't mean anything.

(If it was canon then it would just be like how Tails is really named Miles, it never comes up so it legit wouldn't matter (I do want at least one person in canon to call Tails Miles, I want to know how he canonically reacts to it))

the name olgilvie was never actually used in the comics though? his middle name being maurice is mentioned a couple times but his first name from before he started going by sonic was always left unknown. the idea of his first name being olgilvie just comes from ken penders saying that he wanted to make that sonics name. but this was never actually brought up in the comics, it wasnt mentioned by any of the characters and it wasnt on any of sonics character profiles either. other writers for the comic have even said that sonics name ISNT olgilvie. so acting like its canon is just. idk. are we really gonna accept everything ken penders says he would have done with sonic as canon regardless of if its actually mentioned in the comics or not? because thats a terrible idea

also regarding tails's full name: he hates the name miles in aosth. but he doesnt seem to have a problem with it in other continuities, i can think of a couple times hes used it himself or other characters have called him that and he wasnt upset by it or anything

#sorry if any of this comes off as aggressive Btw thats not my intention #i cant even find the source for penders saying thats his name tbh. just people saying he said that #but i wouldnt be surprised if it was just something he mentioned after he already left. which would make it even more Not Canon #since he would have zero creative control over the characters at that point #ive read all of archie sonic btw so i know for a fact the name olgilvie doesnt come up at all #also even if archie sonics full name was ACTUALLY olgilvie maurice hedgehog. 1. he very clearly doesnt go by that name anymore #like you said. he intentionally hid his birth name from all his friends and got upset when his dad brought it up #and 2. archie sonic isnt canon to the games so that information wouldnt apply to any other sonic media #but considering people ALREADY treat olgilvie maurice as part of the Official Lore Of The Sonic Games #i know that wouldnt stop anybody. literally so annoying </3 #asks #and to be clear i dont care if people wanna use olgilvie maurice as their headcanon full name for sonic #its people presenting it as canon information that annoys me
