Because abortions aren't the only way the patriarchy wants to control your junk
OBGYN: Yeah, you are exhibiting all the signs of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. Iâm so sorry.
Me: Huh? Oh, yeah. Insulin resistance, impossible weight loss, pre-disposition to type II diabetes, painful AF periods. Likelihood of bleed outs. Crap. That blows.
OBGYN: Yeah, well that too.
Me: *blinks* What?
OBGYN: Well, PCOS makes it very difficult for a woman to conceive and carry.
Me: BWHAHAHAHA. Yeah. No. No babies. Ever. Never wanted them. At all. Maternal instinct is not strong with this one. Only upside today.
OBGYN: Well then. Not exactly problem solved, but weâll run with it.
Me: So about the MIND-SEARING PAIN and occasional HEAVY AF BLEEDING. When can we deal with that.
OBGYN: Not until you are 35.
Me: Dah fuq?
OBGYN: Not my rules. Hospitalization wonât even consider any treatment unless itâs life or death until youâre 35.
Me: Why?
OBGYN: Because you might want to have a baby.
Me: Iâm 31. I didnât want kids when I was 11, I didnât want them at 21, and I sure as shit donât want them now. Canât I just sign a form that says âI donât ever want a baby take it out, take it out nowâ?
OBGYN: Nope.
Me: Why?
OBGYN: Government rules. No removal of baby making parts before 35 unless your life is in immediate jeopardy.
TL;DR: The government knows better about your baby making parts than you do.
This is just evil. They are literally refusing to treat a potentially life-threatening condition, not just without the patientâs consent but despite the patientâs protest. Evil.
According to the National Womenâs Health Network, thereâs no legal age restriction-Â âTechnically, any woman of legal age can consent to the procedure, but it should be medically justified. Itâs incredibly unlikely that a doctor will perform a hysterectomy on women ages 18-35 unless it is absolutely necessary for their well-being and no other options will suffice.â Of course, this is in the US. Other countries may have different rules.Â
If youâre in the US and your OBGYN says âgovernment says no,â look for a new one because they lied to you. If your OBGYN says that âhospital says no,â look for a new one because this one doesnât respect your bodily autonomy. It is true that most surgeons donât like to perform hysterectomies until youâre in your late 30s at the earliest, but a respectful surgeon will listen to their patient and not just write them off. Sexism in hospitals is alive and well- and itâs not just anecdotal evidence. Thereâs been a history of looking at it academically/professionally since the 70s (look into Mary Halas as a good place to start if youâre curious), and it crops up all the time in articles in the Journal of Womenâs Health and Womenâs Health Issues, and the International Journal of Womenâs Health all of which are peer-reviewed, well-respected medical journals. Itâs absolutely a real thing.Â
Anyways, I guess what Iâm getting at is this:Â hereâs a list of doctors (mostly US-centric) who perform different sterilization surgeries without giving their patients trouble. While even a surgeon on this list might caution anyone under 35 away from a hysterectomy, at the end of the day itâs your body and your pain. (And some of the docs here have been known to perform hysterectomies on people in their 20s with no fuss.) While this list wonât be practical for everyone- after all, medical treatment is ridiculously expensive in this country, it might help someone.Â
Holy shit fam Holy S H I T
SIGN ME THE FUCK UP IâVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS NOT ALLOWED FOR YEARS
Oh god
QUICK REMINDER THAT I HAD A HYSTERECTOMY A FEW DAYS AFTER MY 26TH BIRTHDAY B/C I HAD CANCER AND I DID EXACTLY THIS. I HAD A DOCTOR WHO DIDNâT WANT TO DO IT AND THEN I WENT TO A NEW DOCTOR AND AFTERWARDS SHE MORE OR LESS SAID MY LIFE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN DANGER HAD I NOT DONE IT.
Sometimes itâs not the doctor, itâs the hospital. For example, my OBGYN worked at a Catholic hospital, so they couldnât perform any type of sterilization onsite unless it was an emergency situation. Â
So if your doc feeds you this BS line about not being allowed to, ASK IF ITâS THE HOSPITAL POLICY. If it is, ask if they are able to perform the procedure elsewhere. If they are not, ASK FOR A REFERRAL.
I was 28 years old when my OBGYN explained that he wasnât allowed to perform a sterilization procedure onsite, and then he proceeded to tell me what a crock of shit it was and referred me to someone else who was able to. And even though I was under 30, his referral listed me as âan ideal candidateâ for the procedure. Â
If they pass off this line and insist when you know otherwise, FIND A NEW DOCTOR.
God help American women
Reblog and pass it on. Find a doctor who will LISTEN to you.
In the replies, he conceded the Circassian Genocide, but tried to insist the deportations of the Crimean Tatars, Chechens, Koreans, etc. don't count because Russians didn't directly kill them.
Oh, OK.... Then I suppose there was also nothing wrong with the Trail of Tears or the Long Walk of the Navajo? Sure, thousands died, but since the American army didn't directly kill them, it was fine. /s
I am going to start begging people to stop acting like USA is somehow the worst in every single circumstance.
Is not that there isn't things to criticize about USA, there is! A lot!
But it is getting to the point that I had seen people defend horrendous governments, because they have no idea what they are talking about and their only frame of reference is USA and whatever the fuck it did to a foreign country.
lol I was just gonna say
"There is no such thing as Lebanon" lady you seriously need to kill yourself
"There's no such State as Lebanon, it is a forward operating base of the revolutionary guard corps that has 4 million people living on it who call themselves lebanese and pretend that they live in a country"
Says the american double passport citizen of a US military base in the Levant, with an artifically constructed colonial culture of 70 years.
Next year: There is no such thing as Syria
In 2026: There is no such thing as Yemen
In 2027: There is no such thing as Iran
Remember all the zionist arguments that Palestinians were just actually very coincidentally made up of all the people of the countries that surrounded it, i.e. Lebanese, Egyptian, Jordanian, and Syrian. Remember that argument?
No zionist argument is based in reality they are only looking to distract you and buy time for more slaughter for more genocide for more conquest. You are a fool if you think arguing with a zionist is worth your time.
The only reason to pay attention to zionist talking points is because they're showing their intention. When you deny that a people exist, you deny their right to exist. Because you want to conquer their land and kill or subdue the people on it. This is a declaration of the intention to commit more colonialism and more genocide.
(see also when Putin claimed 'Ukrainians don't exist' and 'Ukraine is a made up country')
dear god please kill whatever this shit is

HYPERBASS FLUTE
my counter:
piccolo tromboneÂ
Iâm both glad and sad that string players are only limited to violin, viola, cello, and bass. Can you imagine a contrabass? Or a piccolo violin????
String players are not limited to just those.
I present, THE OCTOBASS
Itâs so big that it needs keys to hit the strings.
And in the reverse direction there exists the Pochette. Translated from French, it means pocket, as it was a pocket sized violin like instrument.
This is amazing
someone post the archlute

appalachia is devastated. towns i loved, towns i visited all the time, are gone. not damaged, GONE. they are leveled to the ground. there is nothing left but rubble and ruin. people are dead. appalachia is poor to begin with and relies on tourism for a lot of its income, and multiple of those tourist locations are just...gone.
my town is okay, but it's flooded and wrecked. trees are blocking all but one way out of our neighborhood. power lines are hanging limp in the roads. we've been without power for over 24 hours and will continue to be without power for likely another 24+. disabled people and poor people are GOING to die from this. gods save appalachia.
it's always a hit or miss with appalachian charities. a lot are just evangelism with no action behind what they do. i suggest looking into them before donating.

adding some additional photos from the other side of the mountains here in northeast tennessee. there has been genuinely catastrophic flooding in many areas and billions of dollars of damage across NETN and WNC. we are not built to withstand this. 33 people are currently missing in unicoi county alone
to those of you reblogging this, thank you. i have not seen one negative comment about appalachia and i cannot put into words what that means as someone who has lived here for their entire life. we are used to being mocked, scorned, and dismissed, to being the butt of classist jokes, and y'all aren't doing that. thank you. so much.
Hey. Hey Appalachia. We love you. We are with you. We would fling our bodies and chainsaws into the mess if we could but we can't so instead we're flinging whatever cash we can spare to the orgs who will find the gas for the chainsaws and the food and water and clothing and first aid.
We love you. We are with you.

Since October 7, Israel appears to have systematically targeted press organizations and cameras filming live from the Gaza Strip in order to
âThe Israeli military has a history of attacks on media structures,â Carlos Martinez de la Serna explained. In May 2021, a tower housing the Qatari media organization Al Jazeera and the American news agency The Associated Press (AP) was destroyed by three missiles, on the basis, the Israeli military claimed, of an imminent threat posed by Hamasâs presence in the building. When questioned publicly, Israel provided no evidence to support this claim. Since October 7, 2023, the phenomenon has taken on unprecedented proportions. In response to the Hamas terrorist attack on Israeli soil, the Israeli military has relentlessly bombarded the Gaza Strip, a 365-square-kilometer territory barely larger than Malta. News coverage in the Gaza Strip has become extremely limited. âWhen you look at the conflicts around the world ⌠you would usually have the international media on the ground,â said Irene Khan, UN Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression. âNone of them have been allowed access. Or theyâre embedded within the IDF.â Only Gazan journalists can report on what is happening in the Gaza Strip. They struggle daily to survive and find places to take refuge. In many cases, their places of work no longer exist. According to the Palestinian Journalistsâ Syndicate (PJS), around 70 press organizations, including local radio stations, news agencies, transmission towers, and journalist training institutes, have been partially or completely destroyed since the start of the war. Forbidden Stories has carried out this investigation in collaboration with AFP, Arab Reporters for Investigative Journalism, Le Monde, Paper Trail Media and other international media outlets as part of the Gaza Project. Supported by the analyses of experts in ballistics and audio, it illustrates one of the many strategies used by the Israeli military to stifle information in Gaza: the destruction of press infrastructure.

Here is the list of African presidents who have been assassinated by France since 1963.
Literally thought this was almost exclusively a US thing in recent history. Kind of dumb of me
in case youâre interested in learning more about it, thereâs actually a term coined to describe franceâs neocolonial agenda in african countries so if you look up âfrançafriqueâ youâll get a clearer picture of the french geopolitical agenda and the tight grip they are keeping in africa. imperialism is still thriving and there are other players outside of the usa that are using the global south as a chessboard and shredding it to pieces through military and economic interventions backed by national industries (although i will say that the english wikipedia page is one massive propaganda ploy undermining french influence on african soil and the motivations behind it)
"Cops attacked us across the street from Biden's âLGBTQ+ Galaâ. They waited until the motorcade was about to arrive, then pushed everyone down the sidewalk and around the corner. They abducted more than 30 people and seriously hurt my friend.
Happy pride I guess."

Complaints that pregnant women were turned away from U.S. emergency rooms spiked in 2022 after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade
One woman miscarried in the restroom lobby of a Texas emergency room as front desk staff refused to admit her. Another woman learned that her fetus had no heartbeat at a Florida hospital, the day after a security guard turned her away from the facility. And in North Carolina, a woman gave birth in a car after an emergency room couldnât offer an ultrasound. The baby later died. Complaints that pregnant women were turned away from U.S. emergency rooms spiked in 2022 after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, federal documents obtained by The Associated Press reveal. The cases raise alarms about the state of emergency pregnancy care in the U.S., especially in states that enacted strict abortion laws and sparked confusion around the treatment doctors can provide.

âThe entire British museum is an active crime sceneâ - John Oliver
[image description: two pictures, one above the other. The first image shows a statue originally from the Acropolis in Athens, now in the British Museum. The statue is a column shaped like a woman. It is labelled London. The bottom image is from the Acropolis Museum in Athens, showing the other five matching column/statues, with a space for the missing statue pointedly left open. This picture is shot from above and is labelled Athens.
image in savvysergeantâs reblog: screencap of tags from two people. Feeblekazooâs tags read: the degree to which the Acropolis museum is designed to shame the British Museum is spectactular. butherlipsarenotmovingâs tags read: the acropolis museum is the most passive aggressive museum iâve ever been to and i love it
/end id]
For those of you who donât know museum drama, one of the largest and most famous parts of the British Museumâs collection is the so-called Elgin Marbles, which were looted from the Acropolis by Lord Elgin in the 18th Century. (The Acropolis is the hill in Athens, Greece which has some of the most amazing Greek ruins anywhere, the most famous of which is the Parthenon.) Elgin had (or at least claims to have had) permission from the Ottoman Empire to take stuff home with him, but a) this is one empire asking another empire if they can loot stuff from the other empireâs subjugated people, so, not exactly any moral high ground there Elgin, and b) he took a lot more stuff than the Ottomans said he could have.
Greece has been asking for those statues and sculptures to be returned since they won independence in 1832. Thatâs right, 1832, 190 years ago. The British Museum has had a number of excuses over the years, one of the biggies of the late 20th Century being âwe couldnât possibly give them back because Athens doesnât have a nice enough museum to display themâ and ignoring Greeceâs response of âwe will BUILD a museum just for them if you will just give us our damn stuff back!â
Finally, Greece said âfuck youâ and built a museum at the bottom of the Acropolis called the Acropolis museum. It is huge, it is gorgeous, the collection of objects is amazing and the educational bits (âthis is what it is and why it mattersâ) are really well done. Itâs probably one of the best archaeological museums in the world; it definitely is the best collection of ancient Greek artifacts in the world, both for the size of the collection and the way itâs displayed.
Oh. And it is amazingly passive-aggressive. Every single piece of the Elgin Marbles in the British Museum has an empty spot on display waiting for the piece to be returned to Greece. For example, there are a lot of pieces where Elgin took, say, the nicest (or easiest to remove) one of a set. The column/statue in the OPâs image is one of these. Friezes from the roof of the Parthenon are another example. The Acropolis Museum displays each one of these sets with space for the stolen pieces, along with a picture of what the stolen piece looks like and where it is. It is a giant middle finger at the British Museum, disguised as helpful information.
Thereâs no chance that the British Museum will return any of this in the next generation. Itâs not up to the curators at the British Museum; they donât get any say in this. The board of governors of the British Museum is made up of old posh English people who genuinely believe that the Empire was awesome and England has a perfect right to everything in the British Museum. They have set policies about what can and canât be removed from the collection, and according to those policies nothing of any historical or monetary value can be given away or sold. And they actively promote the idea that their predecessors had a perfect right to loot the cultural heritage of the world, and that the museum has a perfect right to keep it forever. The only way to get anything out of the British Museum and back to its rightful place would be to completely replace the entire board of the museum with new people who think completely differently. And thatâs not happening any time soon, alas.
By the way, the British argument that Greeks wouldnât know how to care for the antiquitiesâŚâŚ. Greece has 206 archaeological museums. Itâs not only incredibly demeaning as an argument, itâs also straight out false and misleading.
One thing (and with the massive caveat of I donât disagree with the above in the slightest): the Board of Trustees isnât like that. Theyâre not all white, theyâre not all rich, and theyâre not all English. By and large theyâre academics. I was speaking to them the other week with regards to repatriation when I visited and theyâre actually very much all for it (bar one or two exceptionsâŚlooking at you George) and are working on things. A group of 5 of them I can confirm actively loathe Elgin and the marbles room. The problem lies with the British Museum Act of 1968 (hereafter referred to as BMA68) which was a law created by the government to prevent anything within the BM, which the government owns but wants very little do to with unless youâre trying to repatriate fyi, being removed in the ânational interestâ. Repatriation is, annoyingly, illegal in the case of the contents of the BM. So the Board have been trying to change this by putting pressure in various areas to get the laws changed, and the government screws them by enforcing term limits for serving on the board and then trying to stack the board in their favour to prevent further action. Itâs a game of politics and the government do not want to give up BMA68 at all.
I know we like to categorise everyone weâre up against in the fight for repatriation as âold, white, rich guysâ but itâs not helpful when it is decidedly not the case. We need to be mad at the right people and focusing on efforts to change this ridiculous law. At this time, supporting projects like the International Training Partnership, which is the BMâs way of building a network of curators and training them so organisations like the British Government canât say âhurr durr they canât look after their artefactsâ because actually they can, we trained them ourselves. The network of curators also allows them to build mounting international pressure. Itâs not going to happen overnight, but the pressure is building now, I promise you.
âWe need to be mad at the right peopleâ is the crux of SO MANY THINGS
Thank you Lottie, as always.
So the problem isnât even the people who run the museum, who are after all museum people and want museum things to be done well and respectfully, but the government, who want the museum to remind everyone of the time before they made their entire country a laughingstock.

The horse is an active participant in an ongoing genocide. Get outta here with this "proven older work horse"/"these are vastly different options" lib shit. Even before this year, Genocide Joe sucked â he's a conservative aligned with the status quo and is an architect of the current prison industrial complex. I've said it before and I'll say it again: you can believe he's better than Trump and argue that people should vote for him over Trump, but this DNC psy-op bullshit of making him seem like a rugged grandpa bravely fighting for your rights is certifiably awful bootlicking. Just say your vote is defensive â against Trump â and move the fuck on. Genocide Joe isn't going to notice you.
Also, pigs already get slandered via their association with cops; leave them alone.
In addition to, yâknow, the genocide, letâs list some of Bidenâs other âaccomplishmentsâ as president:
Decided âfuck it, just let âer ripâ regarding COVID
Let the child tax credit expire
Continued all of Trumpâs shitty immigration policies, including keeping the border camps open (the same ones Democrats referred to as concentration camps when Trump was in charge of them) and even construction on Trumpâs stupid-as-fuck wall.
Though in general, hereâs what the wider Democratic Party has done:
Despite their posturing gestures, they INCREASED police funding in response to the George Floyd protests.
Have continued to send militarized police to brutalize campus protesters.
Censured Rashida Tlaib for her protests against Bidenâs/Israelâs actions in Palestine.
Continued to say things like, âThe US needs a strong Republican Party,â despite using the partyâs actions as a scare tactic to get voters onboard.
Done everything in their power to get third parties kicked off the ballots even in Nevada where the Green Party managed to get 3X the necessary signatures required to be listed on the ballot.
And thatâs not even getting into their longstanding shitfuckery regarding how theyâve spent the past few decades selling out their base in pursuit of people who will never vote for them, never codifying Roe despite having nearly 50 years to do so, and doing nothing to keep Trump from putting in those rightwing justices they hate so much.
Before anyone says anything about LGBT people, Muslims, or people of color, do you really think that if it became politically expedient, the modern Democratic Party wouldnât throw them under the bus for the sake of political expediency?
I mean, in voting for Biden, youâre already agreeing to sacrifice Palestinian lives and if they can sacrifice one marginalized group and get away with it, then it sure as shit becomes a lot easier to justify doing the same to others.
