Crash course on contraception, grab a seat🪑
Here’s what you should know about the Pros and Cons of different contraceptive options.
1. Abstinence : 100% effective. Kama akikushika unaanza kuhema kama tractor, it probably won’t work.
2. Pills: quick return to fertility, might be good for acne, good for stabilizing menses for women with irregular flow, might have a negative effect on your mood, not for forgetful people cause you have to remember to take it everyday, not for people who would like to hide it from their partners
3. Depo injections(every 3 months): can cause delayed return of fertility- upto 3 years. For this reason, it’s best for people who are done having kids. Very high levels of hormone in the injection so side effects kwa wingi. Affects your menses. Zinaeza kuwa heavy/absent. Not for people who don’t like injections
4. Implants - most effective statistically, quick return of fertility, can go upto 5 years, your mother in law/twitter bullies might notice the scar. Might make you gain weight. Might affect your mood. Might make your menses lighter with spotting in btn cycles.
5. Copper IUD - can go upto 10years, quick return of fertility, insertion can cause discomfort, menses tend to get heavier with spotting in between, cramps for the first 1-3 months
6. Hormonal IUD - can go upto 5 years, quick return of fertility, insertion can cause discomfort, makes periods much lighter so it’s perfect for women dealing with heavy menses. Can cause cramping for the 1st 1-3 months
7. Condoms - najua hampendi hii but it has no side effects. Also helps protect against sexually transmitted illness.
9. Pull-out: kuwa serious. Just start taking a parenting class or saving money for Marie Stopes
10. Counting days - good for couples who can’t use contraception for religious or cultural reasons. I hope you’re good at math. Praying for you🙏🏾
I can't recognise people on this TL anymore. Shoba used to be a Chef on this TL complete with endorsements from Royco and cooking gas companies. Like Shoba ndio the original influencers wa jikoni things man.

Nairobi's shawarma is just a chapati wrap with an identity crisis and y'all are paying 500 bob for it like it's authentic. Go to Mombasa or keep quiet.
3rd world country dealing with poverty, no healthcare, poor education systems, imperialist policies: what will we do about the gays???

Nobody tells you exclusion wounds make you unintentionally callous toward others’ positive feelings about you since you’ve never learned to believe on an intuitive level that a person might actually be hurt by your absence or lack of affection. Example: ghosting like it’s nothing
“But you survived” I disassociate, like a lot. My heart drops when someone raises their voice. I shut down very easily. And I'm far too observant. I always feel like a burden. I isolate often. But yeah, sure, I guess I survived.
There's a student in Utumishi Girls waiting for her parents to come & see her after going through a very traumatic experience but they won't get to her because a road accident has claimed the life of her mother & left her father badly injured. How does one heal from such?
i think long-term stress changes people quietly. you become less expressive, less excited, more tired, more detached, until one day you barely recognize the version of yourself that existed before survival mode.
all relationships can survive mistakes, but they cannot survive patterns. Repeated behavior isn't a mistake, it's a decision, apologies lose meaning when the actions never change
For me it was undiagnosed neurodivergence. I masked so hard at work every day I had no energy for me at home. My entire life was work, even though it looked like I was “resting” at home. Really I was disassociating.
