I got insulted for refusing to engage with someone laying out their anti-vax arguments yesterday. He called me "rude" and a "dumb journalist". Thing is: you don't owe it to anyone to get dragged into a debate. You have the right to opt-out to preserve your sanity.

I'm so fed up of seeing influencers on Tiktok doing "what I eat in a day" vids with unhealthily low amounts of calories... Stop normalizing eating disorders!

Today, I paid over $1000 out of pocket for my miscarriage. They didn't tell me it would cost so much to lose a baby. Here are other things they don't tell you about miscarriages. A thread based on my experience. CW: miscarriage & infertility.
