I know there’s an existing post somewhere, but here’s the list of OBGYNs in the USA and other countries that will perform tubal ligation (aka female sterilization) without arguing with you

It's worth noting that a bilateral salpingectomy, which removes the fallopian tubes entirely, will not only sterilize you but greatly reduce your risk of developing ovarian cancer while being just as safe as tubal ligation. Some sources estimate that 80-90% of ovarian cancer begins in the fallopian tubes, so if you were planning to request a ligation already I'd strongly recommend asking if you can get them removed instead, even if you don't have any family history.

Reblogging because I shared this resource previously.

My doctor explained that the failure rate of tubal ligations (or "getting your tubes tied" as it's commonly called) was relatively high compared to that of a full bilateral salpingectomy (which is a removal of the full fallopian tubes), and therefore the latter was becoming more common practice than the former.

Still, an important distinction to make and a great discussion to have if this is a path you want to take.

Doll House, Dark Angel, New Amsterdamn (2008), everything else Fox canceled.

1899, Warrior Nun, First Bite, Dead Boy Detectives, Midnight Club, Archive 81. Probably a bunch more from Netflix I don't remember.

Fox and Netflix 🤝 shaking hands over canceled shows. lmao.

Really, I could keep going (lord knows netflix and disney give you plenty of fodder). Most of my list is quality (imo) sci-fi that didn't get a chance to prove or resolve itself.

I think my favorite random Easter egg that tells me at least Firefly had an opportunity for growth in popularity is that it comes canonically from the same universe as the Alien films [I think the timeline was supposedly 200 years after the events of alien franchise if I rememberthe post right]. There was room for crossover and a fanbase with revenue potential right there for Fox to appeal to (their main complaint was that they didn't know how or to whom they could market the show, but they also didn't stay consistent with airing dates or follow the correct episode order. I'm still convinced some episodes didn't even air because of gaps in the story.)

Fun fact: (warning I'm kind of about to ruin the above joke) all the items that the witches used in Macbeth were actually plants. There's actually a neat article on it.

horror movies think they can be ironically self aware because scream is ironically self aware. but you are not scream

Hey remember when they found over 200 bodies of native children buried behind a residential school and the world cared for... what, a week?

They've counted about 6,000-7,000 now, for those of you who do still care

It should NOT fall on Indigenous people's shoulders to keep this known still. We’ve been doing that for generations at this point and NO ONE wants to listen to us.

We’re tired, mourning and constantly reopening our trauma and pain to keep people caring about us. It’s terrible.

I should start by noting that I am white, and not Canadian, and that if op wants me to remove this comment for any reason, please let me know.

This is a map of all the residential schools in Canada:

[link to the article it’s attached to, it’s interactable there, so you can get a better look around]

Each dot on this map represents a residential school. Blue dots mean the school is considered completely searched. Yellow dots mean they are either in the process of being searched or there are plans to be searched. Red dots indicate that no search has happened and that no search is currently planned

There were more than 130 residential schools in Canada. This map suggests that only six have been fully searched, and a little more than a dozen partially searched (I counted 15 yellow dots). That leaves at least 109 schools completely untouched.

Let that sink in; if 6,000-7,000 unmarked, indigenous children’s graves were found by searching less than a fifth of all the schools, how many are still undiscovered.

Wikipedia estimates that the body count could be over 50,000, and honestly, that could be a low estimate

[ID: A map of Canada with dozens of dots on it, 6 of which are blue and 7 of which are yellow; the rest are red. Later there is a screenshot from wikipedia reading, “Estimates range from 3,200 to over 50,000 children that were killed. Most of the recorded student deaths at residential schools took place before the 1950s. /end ID]

I've consolidated my post for ease of sharing

Hi, I'm Crystle. I'm a 32yo queer Chicana living in Washington state with my lovely husband and our 8yo daughter. For the past few year, we've been living with my elderly in laws in what started out as a way to help my family but turned into something more mutually beneficial as my in laws have started to decline in health.

While staying here, we've dealt with emotional abuse and manipulation on their part. They're racist, sexist and homophobic and love to direct their hate towards me. They are the kind to never acknowledge they've hurt you or apologize and expect you to live with it.

Part of the emotional abuse is threatening to kick us out when we are jobless and taking it back at the last minute. Their reasons have varied from me supporting BLM to them latest reasons; I don't support Trump, I'm too gay and teaching my daughter to be gay and I hate my father in law (I don't hate anyone 🙄🤦🏽‍♀️)

I've put up with it so far so I could keep a roof over my family's heads while I finished college. My husband acts as meditation between us so we are able to keep our kid safely housed. He's been highly supportive of us this whole time and doesn't really like his parents. We've both noticed, as well as my friends and family, that it's taken a toll on my mental and physical health.

We need out of here. We're on the list for help with housing and should be hearing back about jobs soon.

The wish list will replace things we have lost over the years living here and the go fund me will help with rent and bills while we get settled.

Thank you all so much. Much love ❤️

Here's a picture of my family at my brother in law's wedding for reference of who you're helping.

Update:

We have a meeting with a case manager about section 8 housing Tuesday! We need to replace the tire that popped and still saving up for moving expenses. So please, if you can donate and/or signal boost this.

Woohoo!

We've been okayed to look for housing now! Keep us in your prayers etc and continue to pass this along ☺️🙂☺️

Omg congrats! Please contribute to this family if you can yall! 

I'm happy for you guys. Hey if you can help please pitch in.
