Here’s a common yet scary scenario that happens to a lot of women; you go in for your routine pap smear. You go home and forget about it because those things have always gone perfectly fine and your doctor has never called about anything. You give yourself a gold star and some gelato for keeping up your annual appointments.  Then fast forward a few weeks and you’re confused to see your gynecologist calling. She’s calling to tell you that your pap smear came back “Irregular.” The word “irregular” has never sounded so terrifying. <em>How does your gyno sound so calm?! </em>You run over the events of the past year in your head; every sexual partner and weird bus seat you ever sat on. Nothing odd comes up—how could this have happened!? <em>Relax, </em>says your gyno—<em>it’s just HPV. </em>You’re not sure if it’s “just” HPV, but you look it up and discover that, in fact, <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/std/hpv/stdfact-hpv.htm">nearly 80 million Americans</a> currently live with it. Here are the awkwardly true stages of finding out you have HPV and accepting it.

<h2><strong>But I used condoms!</strong></h2>
Why did I spend all of that money on condoms over the years if I was just going to catch something anyways! Oh—right. Pregnancy and incurable STDs and things like that. Okay—it’s good I used condoms.

Let’s Make John Lewis’ March a #1 Seller on Amazon

https://thenerdsofcolor.org/2017/01/14/lets-make-john-lewis-march-a-1-seller-on-amazon/

President-elect Donald Trump has decided to go after Civil Rights movement icon — and national hero — Congressman John Lewis. The attack comes after Rep. Lewis told NBC’s Chuck Todd that he didn’t view Trump as a legitimate president due to Russia’s interference with the 2016 election. Lewis isn’t wrong, and it is more than hypocritical for the PEOTUS to lash out at people questioning his legitimacy since that’s what he has done to President Obama for the last five years. In the meantime, Twitter has clapped back at Trump, and many of Lewis’ colleagues in congress have pledged to boycott the inauguration. We want to help out by pointing our readers to Lewis’ award-winning graphic memoir trilogy, March. Let’s all pitch in to make his books #1 bestsellers on Amazon this Martin Luther King Day weekend.

March (Trilogy Slipcase Set)

All three volumes of the books, which depict the Congressman’s journey from an Alabama farm to Selma’s Bloody Sunday to the inauguration of Barack Obama, are some of the most acclaimed graphic novels in recent memory. Co-authored by Andre Aydin and illustrated by Nate Powell, the various books in the March trilogy have won an Eisner, a Robert Kennedy Award, and is the first graphic novel to ever win a National Book Award for Young People’s Literature. We have also featured March as part of our Reading Lounge in partnership with the Smithsonian APA Center.

Though each book is still available to own separately, IDW has recently released all three in a special slipcase set — just click on the image above to order. Let’s all make sure to buy the books this weekend so we can send a message to the future president about which one is really “All Talk.” (Hint: it ain’t Rep. Lewis.)
