    You mean all those calls to our congresspeople didn’t make a difference? What a shocker…

    I hope I don’t end up feeling morally obligated to join a women’s health collective and learn how to do menstrual extractions. I know it’s crucial to women’s health and so on, but honestly it’s not my cuppa tea. But what else are we gonna do…

    I don’t want to have to learn how to do any of it myself. *shudder* Fortunately I know a midwife who can and will do either. I should send her a check just for being there.
