Whoo! We win!

Health officials tell doctors to stop being assholes about IUD insertion pain. [gift link below. you're welcome.]

My only quibble: the doctor they interview a lot describes the huge outcry from women as 'stamping feet.'

That's fucking sexist as hell and makes it look like we're all throwing hissy fits* and snits when we have legit anger about our medical needs being IGNORED by a largely apathetic, sexist, racist, and fucked up institution.

Guess I haven't done a real #introduction yet. Hi all!

I'm Leah, and I've substituted gay pirate obsession for having a personality. Besides the #ofmd fandom and all the lovely people in it, I greatly enjoy #battlebots, #kaiju movies, #scifi, #parrots, #corvids, #cats, and #karaoke. I'm a big ol' #reprohealth and #reprorights nerd too.

So. Yeah. Long live this little old-school home that makes the internet feel kinda fun again. Can we bring back GOOD search engines while we're at it?
