Why Doesn't My Local Walmart Have Dental Dams?

Does my local store not care about their customers health?

Why Doesn't My Local Walmart Have Dental Dams?
The Verge

I have a few questions for my local Walmart in my small town, which I shall not name.

Firstly, why no dental dams local Walmart?

Do you not understand the importance of dental dams?

Do you not understand how to properly use a dental dam?

Do you not want them to taint the very innocent condoms?

Do you think gay people don't exist in this county? (Hint, they do.)

Do you not understand how STDs works?

Do you not care about STD prevention?

Do you want people to get STDs?

Do you think they don't belong in the aptly named "Family Planning" section of your store?

Do you not understand you can make a dental dam by cutting a condom in half? (You are essentially already selling dental dams so why not really sell them?)

Do you even know what a dental dam is?

Did you only know about the kind that dentist use?

Why don't you put them with the pregnancy tests? (Which for some reason isn't with everything else in the "Family Planning" section.)

Why don't you put them next to the Plan B? (Which for some reason is locked up like it might infect anyone who comes near it.)

Female pharmacist must you stare at me with judgement while I loudly bemoan the fact you have no dental dams?

Must you also stare at me with judgement while I bemoan the fact Plan B is super expensive?

Are you assuming I want to buy it? (I don't, I just care about other women who might feel intimidated by your judgment.)

Must you judge people? (I don't think that is in your job description.)

Must I judge you? (I hope you just have a resting bitch face and this all just me worrying.)

Did you not understand what things you would have to deal with working at the Walmart pharmacy?

Did you think no one had sex?

Did you think only straight couples had sex?

Did you think straight couples couldn't use dental dams? (They can.)

Did think lesbian couples just aggressively hugged each other?

Did you think no one wanted to have safe sex? (Like a smart person.)

Why not put them with the menstrual products?

Why are the menstrual products and the "Family Planning" section separated by a few sections of travel sized toiletries?

Do you think men will be afraid if they see a pad or tampon? (They might be.)

Why are they called feminine products, to begin with?

I won't go further into the fact that you have no alternative menstrual products, I can pick my battles.

Lastly, is this just my local Walmart of my small town? Or are there other women in other local Walmarts looking for dental dams and not finding them. (Also, as an afterthought why is it called the black hair section, why is it so small, and why did you hide the good stretchy rubber bands back there?)

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
