Interesting! I grew up somewhere where Halloween is definitely a Real Thing (even though the American influence is of course pervasive): I remember trick-or-treating every year with hordes of kids from the area; collecting wood and rubbish for our street bonfire for weeks; and the obligatory someone injuring themselves with fireworks… it’s one…[Read more]

If you’re considering a Mirena, I always recommend this post so that you know what to expect in the first six months or so: http://drjengunter.wordpress.com/2013/05/25/bleeding-after-a-mirena-iud-insertion-what-to-expect/
Stats I’ve seen also say it’s actually more effective than the 1-in-100 figure in the post – about the same as being…[Read more]

I’m also in the UK and have a Mirena. My GP wouldn’t fit it – they referred me to the local Sexual Health Clinic – but did do the pre-insertion STI test that the clinic required. Then I had to go back to the clinic for a ‘consent’ visit, then the actual fitting, then the six-week checkup. But all free!

And apparently he was also a racist: http://www.racialicious.com/2014/05/27/voices-racism-and-misogyny-fuel-a-california-tragedy/
It’s no surprise that violent misogyny and racism go together. The same ideology of superiority and entitlement.

Yup. I keep thinking of Éowyn in LOTR as well: “those who have no swords can still die upon them.”

I’m impressed!
We’ve got three really good buddy-cop-road-movie spinoffs so far: Tyrion and Bronn; Brienne and Jaime; and now Arya and the Hound.
Jaime is a changed man, I think, and maybe Cersei can see […]

Yup. It’s true! That has started to be shown more in the books by this point, but not really the series yet.

If you were moving to the UK or Ireland I could totally recommend some orgs, but the ‘mainland’ is beyond my reach :)

That’s a useful article. I did find I had a lot of bleeding for the first 6 months after I got the Mirena – very light, but almost continuous for the first several months. What really made that easier for me to cope with was having a menstrual cup. I have seen some people raise concerns about using a cup when you have an IUD, but my doctor advised…[Read more]
