„Das ist nicht mein Problem“ – die irrsinnige Rezeptpflicht für die Pille danach | Kleinerdrei

zwischendenstuehlen:

guinanxyz:

Es ist Freitagnachmittag und eine Freundin braucht die Pille danach. Sie geht in das Hospital zum Heiligen Geist in Frankfurt, ein Krankenhaus mit Notambulanz, das gleiche in dem sie aus dem gleichen Grund vier Jahre zuvor schon war. Sie rechnet damit vor 20 Uhr mit dem Rezept in einer Apotheke sein zu können, das Medikament dort abholen zu können.

„Du musst dich regelrecht vergewaltigen lassen, denn so fühlt sich das für mich an, das ist der Grund nach dem mich niemand gefragt hat, der Grund weshalb ich diese Untersuchungen hasse.

Hin- und hergerissen zwischen der Freude, die es immer macht, so einen gelungenen Beitrag zu lesen, und wütender Fassungslosigkeit, weil man über sowas immer noch diskutieren muß und das immer noch nicht rezeptfrei, problemlos und unbeschämt geht.

Ich bin ja gerade auf der Suche nach einem neuen Frauenarzt/ einer neuen Frauenärztin. ‘Wie halten  Sie es denn mit der Pille danach?’ Kommt direkt mit auf die Liste der Fragen. Und wenn mir die Antwort nicht gefällt werde ich aufstehen und woanders hingehen.

You know what the most annoying aspect of this whole thing is? When I learned that I should do the talk I thought: ‘Shit. This has happened at least three other people during the last two month. You should have prepared something in advance. Everyone else managed to produce something that worked out, you can’t say no, or people will see that you can’t do it.’ Arg. And than I was angry with myself for not saying no.

And now I am hoping he will forget about his other idea for another paper that could be written from my data, because I have to finish writing my diploma thesis.

  1. yeah i would be so pissed at that little notice, thanks to HIS error! But I’m glad it went well :)
    Yes, I really was not thrilled. I am not thrilled about quite a few things at work, but my Prof was really great when I talked to him about needing more time due to mental health trouble, so I am willing to overlook things like this. But on Monday evening I was just done for.

Netzneutralität = Medienvielfalt, echte Innovationen und grenzenlose Liebe

guinanxyz:

Der Digitale Gesellschaft e.V. und D64 – Zentrum für digitalen Fortschritt klären in einer gemeinsamen Motiv-Serie über die Bedrohung durch die Drosselkom-Pläne der Deutschen Telekom auf eine offenes Netz und Netzneutralität auf. Gefordert wird eine gesetzliche Festschreibung und Durchsetzung der Netzneutralität, um Medienvielfalt, echte Innovationen und grenzenlose Liebe zu sichern.

Die von Mathias Richel gestalteten Motive können gerne weiterkopiert und verbreitet werden.

ha ha ha ha ha wow. and my students don’t think alphabetization is a life skill. (rolls eyes heavily at this professor on your behalf.)
Oh yes, alphabetization is very important. I mean, I knew that it would be me some time, but my last talk has only been two month ago, and I do appreciate at least a few days of preparation time.
But things went reasonably well, even if I always feel like I am stuttering and searching for words all the time.

Professor enters office:

‘Hello 42error, I know I said your colleague would talk in the seminar tomorrow, but I realised that you are before him in the alphabet, so it  is your turn tormorrow’

42error in shock

42error still in shock. Why? Why?

Welcome new followers! Things are currently very quiet around here, and I don’t really know when that will change. But I am still around every day, and happy that you decided to stay with me, at least for a while. Please have some coffee, tea, chocolate or other hot beverage of you choice (Yes, I am still handing out hot drinks in May. It’s cold today), lean back and enjoy the ride.

It seems that some of you have come here via the ‘pulling the strings of the shower-bath’ post. If you are looking for more Parade’s End, let me direct you to the list of my PE posts.

I have an open askbox (or you can use submissions if you, like I, find it hard to work around the character limit), so please say hi or contact me if you ever want to.

Rossetti had two pet wombats, to which he was devoted

Rossetti gleefully reported to William Bell Scott on 28 September 1869 that the wombat had effectively interrupted a long and dreary monologue from John Ruskin by patiently burrowing between the eminent critic’s jacket and waistcoat. This must have been a marvellous thing to watch happen.

Rossetti’s Wombat: A Pre-Raphaelite Obsession in Victorian England is a paper by Angus Trumble which you may enjoy.

#wombats #pre-Raphaelites #two great tastes that taste great together

which reminds me of that time jack aubrey debauched the sloth of stephen maturin via some grog-soaked cake. then again, an awful lot reminds me of that time jack aubrey debauched the sloth of stephen maturin.

Wombats, Rossetti, and Jack debauching Stephen’s sloth, all in one post. What is the phrase people like to use? Icanteven?
