Who has tried the minipill?

Meaning progestin-only pills? Esp those with any sort of mental health issues…good or bad? I was on reg BC pills almost 10 years ago and they made my depression way worse and made me suicidal. Nervous to do any sort of hormonal BC again but my doctor claims the mini pill doesn’t have those sort of side effects. True? Any other pros or cons?

[awkwardohio]

I am on the mini-pill bc of my high blood pressure. It works well for me. I know my doctor was just very insistent that you take it on time every time bc you do have a higher risk of pregnancy. The only issue I have is that it makes your period super irregular, but it did not increase my anxiety or depression. I was on regular hormonal birth control for 5 years previously. Hope this helps!

Someone twisted this Jewish family’s menorah into the shape of a swastika

Naomi Ellis and her her husband Seth spent Friday morning — the morning after the sixth night of Hanukkah — trying to explain to their three young sons why someone had vandalized the menorah the family had put out on their yard by twisting the metal pieces into the shape of a swastika.

The Ellis family had only built the 7-foot-tall menorah on the front lawn of their home in Chandler, Arizona, because their sons, ages 5, 7 and 9, had asked their parents if the family could decorate their home like the neighbors did for Christmas, the Washington Post reported. Read more.

This is America in the 21st century.  Please reblog, even if you’re not Jewish.  Especially if you’re not Jewish.  Spread awareness and let your Jewish followers know that we’re not alone.

For my US Berdies:

Where do you live (if you’re not comfy putting the city, just the state is fine), and what is your favorite local food/snack? It has to be something that can travel, meaning nonperishable (so not like a sandwich or pizza)?

Stuff made LOCALLY pls!

Bill's Donuts in Dayton, Ohio. Delicious and cheap donuts! You have to get a sprinkle donut and one of the pretzel twisted glaze. Yum.

Grateful Grahams in Cincinnati, Ohio. Vegan graham crackers! So good. They have several flavors one that has lavender, which is tasty.
