Part 1: The Effect of Hormonal Birth Control on Mental Health – Interview with Holly Grigg-Spall

Posted by strange on April 19, 2017

More than a year ago on March 24, 2016, I interviewed Holly Grigg-Spall at Cafecito Organico about her book Sweetening the Pill. We talked about ovulation, misogyny in the medical field, how hormonal birth control affects mental health and more. Her book and the interview were both very in-depth and at the time very overwhelming for me, but the information is important and crucial to understand so I knew I had to figure out a way to write about it. I decided it would be best to post her interview in parts so as to not overwhelm anyone and to let you slowly take in all of her knowledge.

My torn, unraveled self
I’m locked outside myself
I see me shiver”

Sadcore Sundays: “Valentine” by Fiona Apple

Posted by strange on February 12, 2017

Lyrics:

You didn’t see my valentine
I sent it via pantomime
While you were watchin’ someone else
I stared at you and cut myself

Its all I’ll do ’cause I’m not free
A fugitive too dull to flee
I’m amorous but out of reach
A still life drawing of a peach

I’m a tulip in a cup
I stand no chance of growing up
I’ve made my peace I’m dead I’m done
I watched you live to have my fun

I root for you, I love you. You, you, you, you. [x2]

I made it to a dinner date
My tear drops seasoned every plate
I tried to dance but lost my nerve
I cramped up in the learning curve

I’m a tulip in a cup
I stand no chance of growing up
I’m resigned to sail on through
In the wake of tales of you

I root for you, I love you. You, you, you, you.
I root for you, I love you. You, you, you.
I root for you, I love you. You, you, you, you, you, you, you.
I root for you, I love you. You, you, you.

Lyrics:
Up on the high, high hills – with my floating friend –
Watchin’ all the silver – no one can ever spend
I feel the touch of her hand and all it will erase;
These footprints I followed tho they followed my every pace –
Days, be more than all we have.
No matter how much I cross I always see the same stream.
I’m standing up on these bridges that are standing in a dream.
