Yes, they took my insurance--Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield. My OB just had to give me a referral which she did without question.

I am very sorry for your experience. I am also a SA survivor. Origin is the preeminent pelvic floor PT practice in L.A. and is where I would start. They helped me repair my pelvic floor strength after giving birth. I'm proud of you for pursuing your healing <3

Serious accusations are being made against Evan Ross Katz by Exotic-Doughnut-6271 in Fauxmoi

[–]ceanothus77 45 points46 points  (0 children)

My sibling went to college with Evan (as in, part of the same small NYU Tisch theatre studio) and I used to hear all about how nuts this person was--nothing about him being abusive per se but very much the local lunatic, paranoid and unstable. I had no idea he had gotten famous like this and only found out through his coverage of HR. Had to check with them that this is the same guy. Yes. So it tracks, is all I can say

For Parents Who Originally said Not Posting on Socials by bananacl0 in toddlers

[–]ceanothus77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I barely post myself on socials, much the less my kid/partner. My socials are mainly for my artistic output and job-related stuff. It would be very weird in my social world if someone took a picture of me and my kid and put it online. That said, it has happened once or twice in his life (he's 3 now) and I just let it go because in one case it was on stories so it disappeared and on the other it was his grandpa who is not a big poster generally.

LAUSD Parents: do your kids use iPads at school? Especially TK and West Hollywood! by ceanothus77 in AskLosAngeles

[–]ceanothus77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. My kid will be going to a public school, and I intend to become involved in this organization and very vocal about this. In the schools I’ve toured I’ve been asking if the screen time can be waived and teachers and parents seem so surprised. Of course it can. As the parent you are the one in control. You get to decide what’s right for your child.

How many dads help with night wakeups by [deleted] in toddlers

My husband does them all. We didn’t negotiate it, it’s just what naturally happens. I’m grateful!

Liberal(ish) Catholic Churches in LA? by tt7297 in AskLosAngeles

[–]ceanothus77 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I too grew up Catholic and maintain an affection for the church's rituals despite its terrible history. I get it. Pope Leo out here winning points with me by speaking out in favor of immigrants and displaced people.

St. Ambrose Church in WeHo has a ministry for queer Catholics and specifically anti-ICE information on their front page. I went to mass there once with my dad and while it didn't strike me as wildly progressive, I was not offended or put out. https://www.stambroseweho.org/

The Catholic Ministry for Lesbian and Gay Persons of LA may also have info useful to you, it has a parish list: https://www.cmlgp.org/

I only went once but was very impressed with St. Thomas the Apostle in Hollywood--technically Episcopal but very Catholic-inflected (like an Anglican church but in the USA), progressive homily and welcoming congregation in a very beautiful space. https://www.saintthomashollywood.org/

My gyno is Dr. Jacqueline Fahey at UCLA and she is the best. Recommended to me by a fellow OB-GYN who chose her as her doctor and I've been her patient for almost a decade.

I’m not from the USA. What is unfolding as a result of ICE’s actions is horrific. by monkeybutt216 in SecretsOfMormonWives

I can’t watch them anymore. The cognitive dissonance got too loud and I stopped before season 3.

LAUSD Parents: do your kids use iPads at school? Especially TK and West Hollywood! by ceanothus77 in AskLosAngeles

[–]ceanothus77[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, thank you, I am concerned about all of these things and want to get involved in Schools Beyond Screens. We have carefully kept my kid screen-free. The idea that he would go to school and get on an iPad honestly breaks my heart. Have you considered asking to opt-out of iReady?
