Save the titties. Get checked regularly. (And fuck Susan G. Komen)

This reminds me that I promised myself I would make a doctor's appointment over break. For something unrelated--what's the recommended age to start getting mammograms (or, I read somewhere that they're doing ultrasounds on breasts now)--but this is reminding me not to keep putting off health-related things, even if they're going to be awkward and uncomfortable.

This is also why the Susan G. Komen for the Cure can go to a Hell I don't believe in for withdrawing funding from Planned Parenthood, which lots of women (and especially lots of women of color, who are more likely to be uninsured) relied on as a step towards breast health as part of their total health.
