The Food and Drug Administration made history today when it approved Opill, a progestin-only birth control pill, for over-the-counter use. When Opill becomes available in pharmacies in early 2024, it will be the first nonprescription daily birth control pill in the United States. Opill’s OTC approval is a major victory for advocates and researchers who have pushed for this change for decades. It also catches the United States up to most of the rest of the world, where contraceptive pills have long been more accessible. Experts agree: It’s about time. There’s no question that the FDA’s approval of the first birth control pill 63 years ago changed the course of many of our lives. But for too many people—especially low-income people, people of color, and young people—a full range of contraceptive options remains out of reach. The FDA’s approval of OTC Opill is an important step forward in access, at a time when the conservative movement is ratcheting up its attacks on birth control. 

This morning, the FDA made history by approving the first over-the-counter birth control pill called Opill. It will become available in pharmacies beginning in early 2024.

I will never get over how weird it feels to have tragic and emotional chapters of your life where you just also still go to work, and the grocery store, and see funny videos online all while feeling such paralyzing fear and heartache

life just goes on no matter what

Look. I’m going to be honest with you. Adopting that hard anti-plastic surgery stance while trans people’s lives and right to transition is at stake is absolutely horrendous timing. Knock it off.

Plastic surgery saves and rebuilds lives. While anti-aging culture and lookism are both detrimental to society, it’s important to remember that plastic surgery is healthcare.

SOME PLACEMENTS I ADORE 🪽

⋆⟡♡⟡⋆

Cancer Moon you are the kind of person who would get into a fist fight to help someone. Your mother instincts instantly kicks in when you see someone in trouble no matter who it is.

Capricorn Moon sooo ambitious and down to earth.

Venus in the 8th house yall are not only very beautiful and oh so sexy but you are also not afraid of DEEP conversation. You are not afraid to go balls deep because you are self aware. Also very genuine and down to earth.

Venus 3rd house even if people dont show it trust me you made their day. You are not afraid to give compliments. If someone got a new beautiful dress you are the first one to tell them.

Venus conjunct South Node yall are always so beautiful and what makes you even more beautiful is how down to earth you are. When I see this aspect I think of the lyrics by One Direction ”You dont know youre beautiful, thats what make you beautiful.

Lilith 2nd house the way you stand strong even tho people are constantly trying to take from you and tear you down. People see you as someone who have too much and because of that they want to take and take and take until you have nothing so that they can feel better.

Mars in Scorpio Mars/Pluto aspects you guys are real go getters but please dont exhaust yourself and remember that resting is okey. Everyone is so impressed by you guys even tho you are never satisfied with yourselves.

Lilith dominants please stop having those guilty feelings that there is something wrong with you. Its not your fault people are uncomfortable with how attracted they are to you.

Moon/Pluto and Scorpio Moon even if you guys can be very controlling and emotionally intense you are the ones who will stay with someone during hard times. You are the kind of people I would call to help hide a body.

Leo Venus you guys are so generous! And so loyal! Ive never seen a Leo Venus who wasnt gorgeous. I noticed yall are always well known where you live.

Leo Mars you guys reek confidence. Im jealous lol

Moon 11th house/Aquarius Moon the true humanitarians of the zodiac. My favorite placements.

Capricorn/Saturn 1st house/Virgo Rising being unapproachable is NOT the same as being unattractive. People are just so afraid of being turned down because you guys look a little snobby. Brave and confident people will approach you so who cares about those who are intimidated.

Pluto 1st house you guys are the protectors, not afraid to step in and stand up for those who cant do it themselves. You guys are NEEDED.

People with Saturn/Venus aspects are so refined and always look so polished. When I see a really elegant person I just know there is a Venus/Saturn aspect involved.

do you get it or do you not know anything

“I always remember having this fight with a random dude who claimed that ‘straight white men’ were the only true innovators. His prime example for this was the computer… the computer… THE COMPUTER!!! THE COM-PU-TER!!!

Alan Turing - Gay man and ‘father of computing’ Wren operating Bombe - The code cracking computers of the 2nd world war were entirely run by women Katherine Johnson - African American NASA mathematician and ‘Human computer’ Ada Lovelace - arguably the 1st computer programmer”

Also Margaret Hamilton - NASA computer scientist who put the first man on the moon - an as-yet-unmatched feet of software engineering, here pictured beside the full source of that computer programme. #myhero

Grace Hopper - the woman that coined the term “bug”  

Grace Hopper did more than coin the term “bug”. She invented the first program linker in the early 1950s, for the UNIVAC I. A program linker translates instructions from one language to another (for example, numerical codes that represent instructions translated to machine code that computers can read), which is the very foundation of how computer’s operate independently. she also pulled a steve rogers and tried to enlist in the military a bunch of times and was denied. then, an exception was made for her when she joined the navy reserves, and she ended up serving for over 40 years (half of which was active duty). she retired from the navy Rear Admiral Grace Hopper. she was born in NYC in 1906. Grace Hopper was a fucking badass.

also computing was typically a job for women (many of whom were black women that made incredible contributions) back in the day, so it’s absolutely fucking wild that straight white men think they are the foundation of computer innovation. men PUSHED women out and took the credit.

Also, just about every computerized device outside of desktops is running ARM chips now. Your phone, your keyboard, your car, your watch. Basically everything.

And ARM was primarily designed by Sophie Wilson, a trans woman.

Please don’t forget Hedy Lamarr. Screwed over by the US government. She helped develop spread spectrum communication, which in part led to the development of WiFi and Bluetooth tech.
