  • I live around this mess and I have mixed feelings about congestion pricing. I am for a congestion pricing scheme but the revenue should be shared among all transit agencies that travel in and out of NYC. Who the hell wants to travel into the city when PATH trains only come every 15-20 off peak and weekend hours? Why not beef up transit routes FIRST, and then implement the pricing?

    The concept is a good idea. The execution is short sided and insular and I don’t see the MTA benefiting from any of this for at least a decade. That’s IF this money actually goes towards public transportation infrastructure.

    I see this going the way of the mandatory 911 fee we all pay and then having almost none of that money going towards 911 service.

  • It’s always hard to know what kind of outdoor space you’re working with when it comes to rentals. There are indoor composters like Lomi which can do it indoors but the cost of the unit is out of reach for most. Composting yourself will always attract pests. It’s not fun when those pests make it inside your place. Reach out to local community gardens and see if they have recommendations for composting your food scraps. I’m fortunate enough to have my compost picked up every week. I pay for this privilege and again, I know it’s not affordable for many but I glad I’m able to make the investment. I probably empty my normal trash bag once every 2 weeks.

  • I appreciate the links. And yes, I agree there is no singular approach just like there is no singular type of uterus, cervix etc.. I should clarify that I do agree sedation is an edge case necessity for some women. But something like a lidocaine paracervical block should be offered just like you would be offered it at the dentist for cavity fillings.

  • I never implied that that were readily available in Canada. That fact that somewhere in North America that offers this at all, is astonishing to me. If it was available in Mexico, I would be equally astonished.

    I’m not arguing that women’s pain isn’t taken seriously.

    But you did.

    nor would I consider it inhumane to perform it without.

    Why would you not consider anesthetics medically necessary for a painful procedure? That’s insane to me. It’s given to men who get vasectomies, standard. Why would you not consider that inhumane?

    Listen, my point of this post was, that these options are available. Maybe they are available in the States. That would be news to me. I said ‘TIL’d this is a thing. And it’s in Canada.’

    I think we can both agree both our countries medical systems are fucked and we should be demanding better care from all our providers.

  • This is the reason they are traveling to Montreal so yes, it appears to be available in Canada. But it absolutely is inhumane when countless women who ask for basic and simple numbing treatment for an IUD insertion/removal are denied and then gaslit into believing that it’s not necessary and they don’t really know their own bodies. Im glad you’ve never experienced it.

    Pain management for women, especially women of color, is a sick joke in the States.

  • I drive a 2008 Honda Accord. I refuse to give it up because of how dependable it is. The best features of the this car is the electric heated seats and it’s dependability. knock on wood I’ve yet to encounter any major issues within its entire life span. I’m keeping her until she quits on me.

    In fact, instead of putting money towards a new car I’m going to invest in her body and interior. I can’t stand what new cars seem like these days.

  • "While I am disappointed by the Supreme Court's decision in the Sackett case, EPA and Army have an obligation to apply this decision alongside our state co-regulators, Tribes, and partners," EPA Administrator Michael Regan said in a statement.

    You have a fucking obligation to protect the environment. Fuck Michael Regan, Fuck the Supreme Court. I’m so fucking tired.

    Sorry is this has been mentioned before.

    I’d love to be able to have my system browser of choice be used while I am still in the app. It’s terribly annoying clicking on a link and leaving Memmy to view it.

    As an aside, I love y’all’s app and appreciate you. Keep us posted on when you add your tip jar, eh?

    Do you exerience back spasms pain so intense it makes you black out?

    Today was the second time this year I’d thrown out my back. The back muscle spasms are so bad it puts me in entirely different state of mind. It’s due to the amount of brain piercing bursts of pains I experience. Transferring from the floor to the couch almost had me black out. It only takes the slightest move to trigger the spasmed muscle(s). It’s like playing a game of Russian roulette but it’s your body movements. Cool huh?

    Do y’all get this too? Why is it so fucking god awful painful? How do you handle your episodes?
