Why Menopause Guidance for Employers Is Essential for Employee Well-Being

It's a natural phase of life that affects millions of women, yet it is often a back door policy in most places of work. As women continue to form a greater proportion of the workforce, there is a need for employers to realize the implications of menopause on the well-being of employees. It allows the workplace to be a safe, inclusive, supportive, and productive place to work if clear menopause guidance for employers supports both the management of employees' health and the development of such an environment.

more cisgender women should be looking at cisgender boys' puberty as a menopause preview, honestly. i find that cis men treat menopause with more pause, ironically, because they recognise the emotional/physical rollercoaster - gee, your body is suddenly sweating absolute buckets and smelling way outside of your control? you feel gross, you keep growing patchy hairs in new itchy places, and summers have suddenly become unbearable? woof, been there done that, let's get you an ice pack and some gatorade buddy, i mean mom

until menopause hits them, cis women (among others) can sometimes treat male puberty as a gross horror that they are forced to mitigate the consequences of - ugh, men with their hair and their smelliness that they can't keep sanitised, it's a concession to live with them, it's a chore to share space with them. you know it's not just a Boy Hormone, right? this exact same testosterone will jump you in a dark alley 30 years from now, you can accept it before then or keep treating it like an enemy latched onto those around you

Horrible cold wind today. Some if the guys are complaining they're cold. Meanwhile I'm sweating like I've got a fever. 🙄

love having a body that's a medical anomaly. had my first post-op today and the nurse just went ಠ_ಠ for the entirety of the call.

unfortunately, the amount and complexity of the work that was done to my insides was, to quote her, "unbelievable. that was the most intense operation i've been a part of in over a decade", so i got smacked with a continued recovery period of 12 weeks. "a normal hysterectomy would have been 6 to 8, but in your case, we'll be seeing you in february".

:(

i can slowly start doing some stuff again, but exerting myself by working out or going on long walks or doing certain chores and lifting stuff is a no-go until then.

there’s gotta be a study done as to why kids are developing migraines much earlier in their youth

Dealing with the endless bureaucratic bullshit that is my healthcare rips my life away one agonizing moment at a time.

And I’m left to pick up the pieces alone.

Fuck this.

We need 5 gallons of Giran's tits milk. The masses are in mourning of this chapter.

Five gallons - please he's old, you take your four ounces and appreciate it like the delicacy it is

sometimes I’m having the kind of night that I feel gratitude for my current mental state and my thought process goes “i ❤️ drinking” → “god what a toxic anti recovery thought SHUT UP you stupid alcoholic” → “not MY fault im having a good dopamine day. Nyeeeeeh [sticks my tongue out to be childishly taunting and not to be cute]” and really there’s gotta be a better way. In unrelated news i think Dalinar needs to fuck Sadeas raw in a wind and truth vision or else Roshar will explode

First thing I thought: this is unforgivable. Second; why does this look like a party city sexy egyptian costume, which lead me down a winding side street of thought- is Rivain egyptian coded now. Was it ever coded as North African specifically. I thought egypt was Neverra’s whole deal. And then I thought: wheres the cougar tummy.

Ebook covers I’ve been working on since 2021.

I have one more chapter of the ebook series to refresh and then it’ll be completed when I finish the epilogue. As said in a previous post, I began compiling it all around 2021, but I did it in the order of which chapters required the least amount of work to update/refresh and everything Chapter 4 onward was pretty solid which meant i just slapped my PSD files together with some new cover art and called it a day.

The Prologue’s cover was posted back in 2021 over here and is now being considered Chapter 1. The original Chapters 1 and 2 is now combined as Chapter 2, and the rest pretty much stays the same.

I have 3 covers left to make and chapter 3 is the only one left to edit. Chapter 3’s cover (The one with the switchup between Fawful and Cackletta) will feature Lima, Chapter 5’s (how Fawful and Cackletta first met) will feature Cackletta, and I don’t know what the epilogue’s cover will be.

As for the the pages that were updated for the ebooks, I’ve retyped all the dialogue in the font that was used for Chapter 4 onward and re-wrote some of the spicier dialogue that totally did not age well 12 years later. All of the edited pages are uploaded to www.immortalfool.thecomicseries.com and the PDFs will be uploaded later this week to my gumroad page and cameronluna.deviantart.com

I’ll repost these as a complete set when the complete set is done.

I almost had Cackletta toss a kamek-dressed-as-peach jab in this panel but then i realized that this page was written in 2010 and having a 2010 page jab a scene to a game that didn’t released yet would be a time paradox—- except new SMB Wii came out in 2009! Whoops!

Originally, it was intended to be a re-occurring thing that Kamek didn’t like looking at Fawful when Cackletta’s possession made him girl-shaped, but that was handled better in the Chapter 4 fight scene and we’ll leave it that that.

But anyway, we get more jokes of Lima and Cackletta calling him a child because he’s significantly younger than they are.

I’d love to do commentary on more of this someday!

I have so many transmasc characters I’ve made and I never talk about them because drawing OCs scare me but just know they are there

hormone blockers in nosespray form seems like such a genius thing until you get sick and your nose is stuffy and the nose spray isn't as effective.....

tw: suicide, suicidal ideation

not being able to talk to anyone when I feel suicidal - because I could be literally swatted (police wellness check) or involuntarily hospitalized which would ruin my life - is actually a nightmare. Like I would love to just talk to a professional and be able to tell them "I would like very much to die and I could absolutely make that happen" would help my mental health so much but I literally can't do that. Because of the carceral mental health system. And I can't talk to my friends about it because just saying that to your friend who you love can be deeply traumatic for that friend.

Of course I would want my friends to tell me and I would never ever call in a wellness check but I can't trust other people not to do that. Being mentally ill in the US is an absolute nightmare.

its like so fucked to me that PCOS is almost always diagnosed in middle aged women bc of fertility issues unless the person in question has a very obvious and severe case or lobbies their doctor at length about it. this would not be so upsetting to me if PCOS didn't massively increase your risk of developing type 2 diabetes in a way that is largely preventable! or if PCOS didn't make it damn near impossible to lose weight, meaning many people have their symptoms dismissed be it for other health problems or PCOS symptoms themselves over something they have next to no control over.
