#Ligation
shout out to my tubal ligation (exhausted after babysitting)

The nomenclature is wrong. Ectopic pregnancy, is treated by tubal ligation. Incomplete expulsion of a dead fetus, used to be dilation and curettage. Maybe, we could use the correct medical terms, instead of the politically forced inaccurate words. Everything isn’t an abortion.

So much...my father deciding that after my mother had a c section and a tubal ligation, and was sexually unavailable, that 4 year old me was an acceptable substitute.
Now I want to know your childhood villain origin story. What radicalised you as a child? What filled you with a rage that lasted a lifetime?
please delight me with your most on-brand story from your childhood

mine is that I quit Cubs after two weeks because it clashed with Coronation Street

The caveat is that you cannot carry children after. It's a specialty flamethrower procedure for your lining, which means any future preg would be ectopic / deadly. You'll need something as effective as an IUD or ligation to qualify. Psst Medicaid covered my bisalp and THEN my ablation =)

My father volunteered at boys and girls clubs, which was particularly gross in light of my becoming a sexual substitute for my mother when she was recovering from a caesarian section and tubal ligation. I WAS 4.

Time to have a tubal ligation. If you need to, use GoFundMe, do.

My mom had to get my dad’s signature to get a tubal ligation after the birth of my surprise twin brothers 58 years ago.

Same as the right (so commonly denied as well) to a tubal ligation. Not married, no kids? Nope.

When sequencing with @plasmidsaurus.bsky.social, I will always spend the extra money for premium (ligation) sequencing. One consensus sequence often can't tell the whole story!
A few months ago my Dad brought a bad cold home from a cruise. I thought I might find an unusual virus, but the PCR said just Rhinovirus. But when I sequenced it I found something I'd never seen before - a 70/30 co-infection of HRV-B and HRV-C! So two different Rhinovirus species at once!

... that - perhaps especially after AlphaFold? - we must focus more on less structured and more weakly interacting regions, and for this NMR seems best suited. This paper reminded me of this older one which I discussed here some time ago: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

What is the role of disorder in non-homologous end-joining proteins? The authors use nuclear magnetic resonance to reveal that disordered regions mediate a network of multivalent interactions, promoti...

Very true. I knew a woman who got pregnant after having a tubal ligation. A little tough to see her as "negligent."

In 1973, Mary Alice Relf (14) and Minnie Lee Relf (12) — Black sisters in Alabama — were sterilized by tubal ligation without informed consent. The SPLC sued; in March 1974, a federal judge ruled HEW's sterilization rules arbitrary, forcing new informed-consent requirements.

Im sure most of us with awareness hear the flags going up for this situation; everyone is deserving of love but theres obviously an issue here that has been repeated 12 times. Also tubal ligation. Please dont bring any more babies into this wahala

Saying 'all xxx religion are evil because x' is ridiculously stupid. 'All muslims are evil because (insert racist trope here)' and this example below is EXACTLY like 'all white Christians are evil because KKK.'

Can we gofundme her a tubal ligation? Get her out of the gene pool?
Here’s what it’s like to simply exist as Jewish in public. Imagine having the fucking balls to just shout this out in a crowded theater. In what fucking universe does this help Palestine??? This woman doesn’t actually give a fuck about Palestinians.

He handled this so much better then I would have

Bavarian Nonsensel Ligation FTW

Cis women can get a boob job with no questions asked at 18, but if they want a tubal ligation they have to jump through multiple hoops. 🤬

We must do better. Another example of fertility control ... when my hubs was going to get a vasectomy in the Navy, he didn't need permission from me. He didn't get one, so after 4 more years of trying to avoid pregnancy, I arranged to have a tubal ligation, for which he had to sign his permission.

tubal ligation was like, 2 days of being sore enough to want to sleep about it, and then i was back to business as usual
