18 Tweets That Capture Why Women Everywhere Are Saying #ThxBirthControl

In the early 20th century, Margaret Sanger fought for sex education, contraception information/availability, and advocating for women's reproductive health and rights at a time where this was shamed and risked imprisonment. It's because of her we have Planned Parenthood and better access to birth control. Today, individuals around the world celebrate her victory and they've taken to Twitter to do it!

For this person who gets to decide when they want to be a parent

For more than just babies

Because cancer prevention is pretty important...and sex obviously!

For making getting a degree bearable

Access for all

Because no one should have to live with endometriosis pain

PCOS control for the win! 

More cancer prevention 

Birth control is family planning  

 Because we can have control of our bodies 

 For not just physical health

 Because our hormones can cause us to do some pretty crazy shit

 For reducing teen pregnancy...IN HALF 

 Thank you, Margaret Sanger 

 Because you can't stop one without providing the other

 Because EVERYONE should have the option, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, etc. 

 Because we need doctors 

 YES!

The Norse Creation Myth

The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
