so last week I was walking downtown and a girl leaned out her car window and yelled “YOU LOOK LIKE A PRINCESS” and today a girl walked past me on the sidewalk and said “I love your socks” (they have birds on them) and I suggest we replace all cat-calling with girls complimenting each other on the street because honestly I have never felt more pretty or into girls in my goddamn life
If you have time, can you do me a favor? I just submitted this Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing design to an enamel pins challenge on Threadless. The more people who vote 5 for this design the more likely it is that the pin will get made and distributed through Threadless. Reblogs are also very helpful. Thank you!

Anonymous asked: I have a friend who told me getting her IUD inserted hurt like hell. Have you ever heard of anything like that from other women? I thought it was super easy and painless until she told otherwise.
The absolute truth about IUD insertion? For most people it is excruciating. For some people it’s no problem. But for everyone? It’s WAY LESS PAINFUL THAN CHILDBIRTH.
Cervixes don’t like to be messed with. In particular, they don’t like things opening them up or going up inside the uterus. When you get an IUD placed it presses up though the cervix, opening it up, which can cause anything from a slight cramp to fainting and crying. There’s also a nerve, the vagus nerve, that enervates (stimulates) the uterus & cervix, and sometimes when people have an IUD inserted, the vagus nerve is tweaked, causing a “vasovagal reaction”, which usually means fainting. So if people faint during an IUD insertion, it’s not necessarily because of pain, it’s just stimulation of the nerve.
To recap:
IUD insertion hurts.
IUD insertion hurts WAY LESS than giving birth to an unwanted pregnancy.
