*super-serious doctor voice* Instructions for optimum enjoyment: Get out your preferred birth control method. Watch video. High-five as needed. You're welcome.
... OK, before you hit "play" to watch that again (because HOLY CRAP, that was fun — ringtone material, am I right?!), there's something pretty dang cool to announce.
Brace yourselves because ... Upworthy is totally doing a Twitter chat about birth control!
Upworthy is partnering with our friends at Bedsider to hold an #UpChat that's all about publicly thanking and celebrating birth control! See, birth control gives you the freedom to plan a family on your own terms, to work or travel or pursue your dreams before you're ready to have a baby. It's there when you want to have smokin' hot sex and not get pregnant. It makes so much possible. No wonder 99% of US women have used it! It's the real MVP.
So make sure to mark your calendar for #ThxBirthControl Day (aka Wednesday, Nov. 12!) at 2 p.m. ET. We'll be talking on Twitter, where we'll be hashing out the details (with hashtags!) and having a ball celebrating contraception. Cue the IUD-shaped confetti, y'all, because this is gonna be a party.
Have questions about what the heck an #UpChat is and/or how that works and/or how to pronounce "#"? No worries. Read on for more information!
So, um ... what exactly is an #UpChat? What's the deal here?
An #UpChat is just a casual chat on Twitter where we discuss an important topic. This particular #UpChat is brought to you by our delightful friends at Bedsider and will be all about your BFF birth control. We'll be joined by a bunch of great partners, too! Basically, it's going to be really fun and really educational. And what's better than that? (Answer: nothing. #UpChats are the best.)
OK, can you tell me what I can do now?
I love your enthusiasm! The biggest, most crucial part of all this is to have people like YOU — yes, I am talking about YOU — join in and make your voice heard! Here are the three steps to get this educational party started:
1. Follow @Upworthy and @Bedsider on Twitter.
2. Check out the #UpChat and #ThxBirthControl hashtags on Wednesday, Nov. 12 at 2 p.m. ET — and join in the conversation for #ThxBirthControl Day!
3. Check out all the awesome folks joining us on this handy-dandy list we've compiled for you.
4. Share this post! If you're going, then share so other folks know you're coming! Can't go? That's cool too! Share this post so maybe your friends will stop by instead! The more, the merrier!
BUT I JUST CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THEN. I NEED TO DO SOMETHING NOWWWW. Like, right now.
Run around your neighborhood singing this sweet jam! Go put "Good job!" stickers on some condoms! Knit your pack of birth control a festive holiday scarf! If none of these options appeal to you, well, you can always share this post, then kick back and listen to the song again. Have you come up with a dance number for it yet? How about a really cool "I <3 #ThxBirthControl Day" banner for Nov. 12? That might kill time until #UpChat!
Hey, wait — you never told me how to pronounce "#"!
I'm about 90% sure "#" is pronounced "join-Upworthy-and-Bedsider-
My new favorite song brought to you by Bedsider. Have I mentioned that they have thank-you cards for birth control too? They've thought of EVERYTHING. Thumbnail image via Thinkstock.
