How To Be a Safe Person to Menstruate With

You can be private without expressing disgust. Just step away politely or be honest that you are embarrassed. Neither of these choices shames women.

The reverse is also true. Like I said, just because someone doesn’t want to talk doesn’t mean they’re lame and ashamed.

Compliment girls wearing on their self-expression like red jewelry or watering a Venus flytrap with their menstrual cups.

There are lots of sustainable products now but accessibility is not equal. Not everyone has the water resources to wash reusable products so don’t get preachy.

If you shit on someone else’s choice of birth control, by God I will come for you.

Vote to protect birth control

Do not tell someone they’re gross for using pads and cups that require washing.

If you have found a trustworthy gynecologist, spread the word

If a woman tells you she feels ill, in pain, or like something is wrong believe her

Do not tell her to lose weight or consider therapy. If you do, I will hit you with a fish.

Take hormonal diseases seriously

When someone tells you she has endometriosis, interstitial cystitis, cancer, or PCOS, do not come at her with medical expertise you suddenly think you have.

Offer to buy pads and tampons but make sure to ask what kind — some have allergens.

You can always get someone a glass of water.

If it’s a trans guy you’re talking with, validate his body without treating him like one of the girls. If you don’t know how, just ask.

Do not try to guess if someone is on their period. That’s rude.

I have an alpha period. If we hang out, you will sync to my period and we can all be unhappy together.

If you bleed monthly and are talking to a woman who doesn’t, you aren’t better than her. You define your period. She can define hers.

If someone is confused because she started her period and got a positive pregnancy test, take her to the hospital and defend her with your life. She is miscarrying and needs an ultrasound. If a doctor dismisses her as just having a difficult period, make ape noises and then threaten him with arson.

If after all this you are still angry, DM me his name and I will personally come for revenge. I am pregnant and very powerful.

For that matter, my husband will sort him out for you.

Take black women seriously. Respect that WOC face medical discrimination and gaslighting on the daily.

Advil is valid. Homeopathics are valid. Do not assail your friend with essential oils when she’s asked for a Midol.

If your friend shares some concerning symptoms with you, do not freak her out with an armchair diagnosis.

But you should definitely validate her pain and encourage her to get help. Or even help her get help. Throw her in the car and personally drive her to the doctor.

If your friend confides in you that she has an STI or you are able to guess that she has an STI, be nice to her because if you don’t I will find you and I will yeet you away into the night like Batman.

Educate yourself about periods. Learn the correct anatomical words.

And for God’s sake, you still have to wear a condom.

Los Mirlos en Trujillo

El sonido amazónico llegó a Trujillo gracias a la Alianza Francesa de la capital liberteña.

Los Mirlos encantaron a los Trujillanos con sus canciones como La Familia, La Danza de los Mirlos, La Danza del Petrolero, Eres Mentirosa y Pideme la luna, además con maravillosas coreografías pusieron a las personas a bailar.

El show se desarrolló en la Plaza Mayor de Trujillo, la entrada fue libre, quien pasara por el centro se percataría del maravilloso show.

El espectáculo tuvo a fin celebrar la Fiesta de la Música y promover la cultura peruana a través de las canciones. De esta manera, se logró visibilizar el trabajo de artistas peruanos, tantos jóvenes como niños.

Important update about the progress of the First round:

Unfortunately, due to the low number of followers that the Italian Literature Tournament achieved, the first edition will end here.

Dante and Virgil in Hell, also known as The Barque of Dante, Eugène Delacroix, Louvre Museum.

I'm kidding, of course.

Precisely because is going better than I first thought, the number of combinations that will be posted every two days will no longer be 6 but 8. This will permit to finish the first round two days before the ordinary schedule, but in any case the last day will remain the 10th of November, in case of possible technical errors, pauses or drama, and to left that sunday for a surprise 🤫💛

I ran into a post that was a bit confusing at first until I realised that op might have been using an accesibility tool to make the post in the first place. So I re-read the post focusing on the whole concept a word might convey rather than just the standard dictionary definition. It did take some effort but the post did make sense and not only that it was a post I agreed with and had experienced similar if not the same things.

Reminded me how difficult it can be to advocate for yourself if you're being dismissed because someone else doesnt understand you.

I took a linguistics class once and got into an argument because there was an example of a person who 'never developed langauge' and they were saying that person was only as intelligent as a todler if I remember right. But thats not something you can prove. They might not have the langauge skills you expect but you cant prove someone is stupid. It feels like pointing at someone who only speaks Mandarin and saying 'that person can't speak english therefore they are an idiot'. The only thing you can really measure is what you understand. So if you can't understand someone who are you to judge them?

When someone's grammar is 'bad' and its hard for you to understand. It was probably hard for them to write too. They're making an effort to comunicate something so the effort you put in to understanding it balances out. And even then the effort you put in to undersranding is in a lot of cases probably still easier than it was for that person to write in the first place.

I think it's important that for those who find it easier to comunicate make sure they are helping someone advocate for themselves and not advocating for them.

There always comes a moment to express

To hear truth, to feel its beauty coming from inside like a breeze

And here I breathe honoring the remembrance

My mind coming home to my body

Again, and again, and again....

I let be, and observe the sensations.

Το αστείο σε όλη την ιστορία είναι ότι αυτοί που σου λένε οτι δεν θα φύγουν, είναι και οι πρώτοι που βλέπεις να αχνοφαινονται μόλις σηκώ��εις το βλέμμα σου να τους κοιταξεις.

Συμβουλή : Οι υποσχέσεις είναι σαν τις πέτρες. Κάποιες είσαι ασηκωτες. Καλό είναι να μην τις τοποθετούμε σαν εμπόδια στον οδοιπόρο.

I don't know. 3 words that cloud my brain. I think I'm doing the right thing but you make me overthink. If I'm doing the right thing or somehow the complete opposite. You know me and when I told you that me and her were friends again, it felt like you completely shut me out it broke my heart. That night after you went to sleep I sent you a paragraph about how me and her were friends and how you shut me out and I really wanted your opinion and wanted you to be honest with me. When you woke up you said that you were just being dramatic immediately I thought that you weren't being dramatic and then when we called you said you wanted to say something and I was like okay go ahead you have the floor and you immediately started to apologize about how you were acting like an asshole. I wanted to cry and tell you no you weren't even though you so were but I told you, you weren't acting like an asshole because everyone has an off day and its okay and you cut me off saying that no it wasn't because you made me overthink and you didn't want that. I love you so much and I hope we make it through this long distance and even though we are young I want us to get married I want to live together and pick out decor and what utensils to use. I love you and I don't know how you put me first over everything even though I do the same. When I was taking a walk because people undermine me and make me feel like shit and I was trying to brush it off even though you could hear my voice shaking and the tears in my eyes I brushed it off saying its nothing and you said no it's not nothing if it bothers you. I love you so much and even though we have off days and we argue like crazy sometimes I know that we will make it through it because even if it makes me uncomfortable I will always communicate even if its not in the moment we are going to talk about it. I promise. I love you always and forever.

the fact that I'm theoretically available 24/7 doesn't mean that I have to answer your texts 24/7. also, I do not answer fast (generally speaking, of course) because it's rare that the only thing I'm doing is texting you. when you text me while I'm watching a movie with my sister and I answer you, it doesn't mean that I will spend the whole time texting you. the same goes if I'm getting ready to go out or if I'm on a brief work break. of course, if we are texting about something serious or pressing or even silly, but that's flowing, I'm gonna answer you if I'm doing nothing. also I'm very sorry but sometimes I wanna be alone and do my things, and not texting you, I'm sorry if we were getting to know each other via text but I can't be available all that time. I struggle answering my friends, and we are not friends yet, and I'm sorry.

forgiven

today I snapped and you got hurt

I was stressed and over whelmed

and I took that stress and turned it into pain

sending those burns your way

still even though I hurt you

and you had every right to be livid

instead we talked it out and all has been forgiven
