Huh that's surprising...and stupid that they don't.

Someone in a wheelchair would have to go all the way from curb cut to curb cut to get around this truck, which likely cannot be done quickly enough to ensure they won’t encounter traffic on the roadway.

Also, the provider I go to said she would give me a Xanax if I had a ride home that day

I just called them and they said they don’t offer anything.

The leaders are doing it yeah, but the average right wing drone thinks it's happening at every single gay person's house because they are a bunch of morons.

Mutant Gritty coming for your soda. He took a bath in the Delaware.

Bullshit. This is like when right wingers talk about how they would see CP all over Twitter before Elon took over but suddenly don't see it any more. It's fake news.

Side note, if you are truly concerned for the safety of children, you would be in support of banning them from religious institutions right? Given how widespread child abuse is there.

What is it with The Onion and the word "horrifying"? I feel like they use that word all the time...

My immediate thought is to put some dogshit up under his door handle.

The current place I go to is Philadelphia Women’s Health and Wellness center. They told me they could do the lidocaine injection but do not usually recommend it because of how painful it is. I had an IUD inserted before and it was the worst pain I’ve ever felt, other than my appendix about to rupture. Thank you for sharing that because I was afraid of the injection after the provider told me how painful it was.

Malik Boyd, Amen Brown’s Communications Director, is also a city employee with the Register of Wills. Hope he’s not working on the campaign on city time.

I’ve heard from about 3/4 of the people that have them that insertion was one of the most painful things they’ve experienced. My doctor even told me it’s almost more normal to pass out than not to. I’m not sure why so many places do it without.

It wasn’t a cream, it was a shot of lidocaine. Not the most pleasant thing, but an absolute walk in the park compared to the iud insertion. The implant doesn’t move at all. It can be a little weird to be able to feel it, and I have a small mark where it was inserted, but that was it. I did not have any issues with mental health like I did with the pill, and it didn’t make my skin any worse (I’ve always had stubborn acne, sadly).

I got the IUD and got it removed and went back to the pill because of hormonal acne. The IUD insertion was hell but it made me feel fine mentally. The pill hasn’t been great for my mental health. For some reason the arm implant scares me! Was the local anesthetic a cream? Has the implant moved at all, and how has it been on your mental health and skin? I know every woman is different

Philadelphia could follow the lead of other parts of Pennsylvania and implement a land value tax instead of wage and sales taxes. It's progressive, the most valuable land tends to be owned by the most well off. Renters already pay land rent, and this tax would capture a higher proportion of it instead of raising it since the supply of land is fixed.

If that step is too big, a switch to a split rate property tax that taxes buildings less than land would also help. This would benefit renters, since property tax on buildings does raise rents unlike the portion on land. It would lower property tax for many homeowners. It would help raise the supply of housing. https://whyy.org/articles/a-progressive-approach-to-taxing-land-gains-traction-in-philly-council/

I don’t have an answer to your original question, but have you considered the arm implant instead of an iud? I had an atrociously painful experience getting an iud placed (and clearly I’m not alone!), and I ultimately switched to the arm implant. I was given a local anesthetic for it and felt nothing.

Life cycle women in Bryn Mawr will give you laughing gas I believe if you can make it out that far!
