PSA!! If are a parent of a teenage girl, you need to know that in 25 US states, they can get prescribed birth control without your knowledge. In the remaining 25 states, there are still many exceptions and loop holes where they can be put on experimental hormone therapy without your knowledge. Please look up the specific laws in your state. If you think you are in the clear because your daughter doesn’t have sex… think again. An estimated 25% of 15-19 years olds in the US are on a prescribed hormonal contraceptive and of these girls, 80% report being on birth control at least partially for a non contraceptive reason, and 30% report using it SOLEY for a non-contraceptive reason - meaning they are taking it for “hormonal regulation”. Imagine being a 15 year old girl with acne. You are self conscious and want to be like your friends who have seemingly perfect skin. Your doctor tells you they can give you a pill to make the acne go away and they won’t even tell your parents if you don’t want them to. An uneducated young woman could easily fall into this trap! What can you do to combat this? 1. Educate your daughters on the dangers of hormone therapy 2. Educate your daughters on the fertility awareness method and cycle tracking. This will serve them as they grow into young women. The more they understand their cycle and how their bodies were created by God to bring life into the world, the less they will want to mess with it using artificial means! 3. Know the physicians who you are sending your children to and make sure they share your values. There are definitely family physicians out there who will not put your children on hormone therapy, you just need to find them 4. Take your daughter’s hormonal based symptoms seriously - start doing your own research on ways you can help them regulate and reach superior health outside of the allopathic medical system

Is there anyone on #nostr selling handmade wooden end grain cutting boards for sats? Or someone who is doing this as a hobby that would be willing to start selling 👀 I am looking to invest in one!

My first order of @Great Ghee arrived 😃 It has a warm, caramely taste so I used it in a batch of my homemade granola in place of butter - it tastes fantastic. Can’t wait to try it for searing a steak in my cast iron. Proof of crunch pictured! #worththesats

Watermelon + salt + lime Try it! 🍉

Currently reading a book called “Redeeming Your Time” By Jordan Raynor One of the practical tips he gives regarding social media is “stop swimming in infinity pools” meaning stop using media sources with endlessly replenishing content It struck me that this is one of the amazing parts of nostr, without the algorithm, you just follow who you follow and then once you’ve seen their notes… that’s it… you can just close the app and come back later #nostr
