PSA of the Day: Pfizer has issued a recall notice for over 1 million birth control pill packets — marketed by Akrimax Rx Products in the US — because they may inadvertently raise the risk of pregnancy.

According to the pharmaceutical company, the recall applies to packets that were accidentally shipped with too many or too few active tablets. The imbalance in proper dosage of the drugs is not dangerous, but may elevate the chance a woman taking these pill would become pregnant.

Pfizer says the root cause of the mixup was both mechanical and QA-related. A spokeswoman assured customers it has been since sorted out.

This recall could not come at a worse time for Pfizer, which just today announced a decline in fourth-quarter profits, which it attributes to generic alternatives for their best-selling products.

To see if your packet of Pfizer birth-control pills is being recalled, review the list of lot numbers on the FDA website.

(via Bucko - A Comical Murder-Mystery)

It’s the FINAL page of Bucko! The entire story clocks in at 102 pages and probably wouldn’t take too long to read all in one go. Just sayin’.

Aaaaaaaand, because I am in a festive mood, I’ve decided to have a sale in my shop on my DAR! books PLUS every single order comes with a giant octopus sticker from now until February 7th!

DAR! Volume One: Regular Price $15 $10,
DAR! Volume Two: Regular Price $15 $10,
Both DAR! Volumes: Regular Price $30 $20.
Super Pack of ALL My Books and Minis: Regular Price $55$45

Regardless of your order, every single shipment will come with this 5″ x 5″ circular octopus sticker until February 7, 2012.

Erika Moen’s DAR comics essentially got me into the world of female-fronted art and diary comics. They are so beautiful, funny, gross and heartfelt; everything I want my work to be! I’ve been saving up reading Bucko for the better part of a year so I could do it all in one go, and I’m SO excited. Support this total babe.

DAR is a great comic, I was sad that it didn’t continue forever.  Check it out!

i may focus more on the ladies but i know a good thing when i see it.

"A recent Boise State University study of 484 heterosexual women showed that “50% of the women had fantasies about other women that involved some kind of sexual experience”. Does this mean they’re bisexual? Lesbian? Bicurious? Who knows and, to a degree, who cares? We don’t need to label every thought that comes into our minds, unless doing so helps us in some way. I’d imagine that there are plenty of heterosexual men who’ve entertained a homoerotic fantasy at some point, but are reluctant to admit that for fear that doing so would “make” them gay. The same goes for sadomasochism and dominance and submission. Plenty of people get off to BDSM scenarios they wouldn’t necessarily want to try, yet too many are ashamed of these fantasies and don’t even fully admit them for fear of being seen as somehow deviant, when the fact is that eroticising power, helplessness and pain are extremely common.

Attraction and action are two distinct things. Sometimes they are one and the same, and visualising yourself in a given sexual situation will lead to wanting to pursue it, but not always. We need to put a higher value on the act of fantasising and recognise that it can help revive a relationship or be a tool in figuring out what arouses us. Maybe you fantasise about being with someone other than your longterm partner, or watching them with someone, or having sex in an exotic location, or being watched, or something that couldn’t ever happen in real life. Allowing yourself the freedom to simply explore what turns you on, sans judgment, is important."

"Although most boys figure out how to bring themselves to orgasm by age thirteen, half of girls don’t have their first orgasms until their late teens, twenties, or beyond. Teenage girls widely agree that they get the message loud and clear that masturbation is something boys do, but girls don’t, can’t, or shouldn’t. The cultural focus on intercourse tells young women to expect they’ll begin to experience sexual pleasure once they have sex with a man (whether or not they’re even interested in sex with men). Nearly all teen boys, on the other hand, experience sexual pleasure long before they get their hands—or other body parts—into a partner’s pants. Despite the massive advances in women’s equality, young women’s sexuality is stuck in a surprising paradox. Young women are sold provocative clothes but aren’t taught where to find their own clitoris. Many girls give their boyfriends oral sex, but are too uncomfortable with their own bodies to allow the guys to return the favor. It’s still a radical act to say that women need and deserve access to information about their own sexual pleasure—not just about the risks and negative consequences of sex."
