– Molly McAleer, on ‘Blogger’ Isn’t a Pejorative

The Birth Control No One's Heard Of -- Is the IUD... →
Read about my experience getting an IUD and why this 99%-effective, economical, long-term, reversible, and maintenance-free contraceptive still flies under the radar. (Hat tip to Lena, who first introduced me to the IUD and was my go-to person throughout the process.)

Anonymous asked: Two questions:
1. How did you afford to live in NYC for two summers? Were your internships paid?
