"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Someone on my facebook just posted about how contraception is evil because her fertility is not a disease and perhaps people need to exercise self control and not pop a pill blah blah blah.

So then no Viagra for the old guy you are with either, right? And if you have horrible periods where you are bleeding for 4 weeks out of every five, no need to fix that? I want to point out the logical fallacies of her stance, but I kind of don't care. Might some label that maturity finally?

Of course fertility isn't a disease, but then again getting pregnant isn't exactly a symptom either. The whole analogy is whack.

Sigh.Really? An article about Natural Family Planning. No on is making you take birth control. So nuts.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Might some label that maturity finally?

Or exhaustion.

I think I'm in the middle of some sort of a debate with someone else about something. It's a new thing versus an old thing thing. Sort of a thing thing.

Well I am indeed exhausted but just finished Variant so I can't settle my mind.

Hec, I would like to see Matilda's horse picture. You should scan it and hang it on our virtual refrigerator.

I'll definitely get Emmett to shoot it on his iPad when we get it back from the teacher.

And here I was thinking it was some game on the iPad that would enable Emmett to shoot the horse.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

There's probably a lot of overlap between maturity and exhaustion.

The idea of fertility being a disease just makes me sing "life is stupid and contagious" to myself over and over again. Not likely to be mistaken for maturity.

Heh. No the camera on his iPad is better than our regular camera. And it's easier for him to email it to me from his iPad.

Right. Her argument is a non-argument. Walking away by far the most sane choice.
