Blood is the symbol of Goddess’s merciful pledge to spare man. Her iron wine is divine providence.

Just kind of curious. I've only met one person who said they liked it bc it was a reminder of their womanhood and felt good bc their mother had cancer and wasn't able to have more than 1 child. So like...how is it for yall?

Gale Dekarios NSFT under the cut. Read the tags.

I'm not really into period sex because sensory issues of messy blegh.

But.

Consider inappropriate use of Mage Hand.

Or Gale's Mirror Image.

I high key doubt he'd be into the mess, too, of period sex, but it's a way to be intimate and feel pleasure (Gale would for sure get off on just seeing you get off) during your period.

Making Up Missed Fasts

The view of Mālik, Abū Ḥanīfah, al-Shāfiʿī, Aḥmad, and the majority of al-Salaf wa ʿl-Khalaf (ie: the early and later scholars) is that qaḍāʾ (ie: making up the fasts from) Ramaḍān for someone who missed it with a ʿuḏur (ie: valid excuse), وَ��َذْهَبُ مَالِكٍ وَأَبِي حَنِيفَةَ وَالشَّافِعِيِّ وَأَحْمَدَ وَجَمَاهِيرِ السَّلَفِ وَالْخَلَفِ أَنَّ قَضَاءَ رَمَضَانَ فِي حَقِّ مَنْ أَفْطَرَ بِعُذْرٍ such as ḥayḍ wa safar (ie: menstruation or travel), كَحَيْضٍ وَسَفَرٍ must be done leisurely. يَجِبُ عَلَى التَّرَاخِي It is not required to rush to make it up as soon as possible at the first opportunity. وَلَا يُشْتَرَطُ الْمُبَادَرَةُ بِهِ فِي أَوَّلِ الْإِمْكَانِ al-ʿAdhīm al-Badawī, ʿAwn al-Maʿbūd Sharḥ Sunan Abī Dāwūd 7/24 العظيم البدوي، عون المعبود شرح سنن أبي داود ٧/٢٤ https://shamela.ws/book/5760/2144 Telegram: https://t.me/aljadwal Tumblr: https://al-jadwal.tumblr.com

A really basic post related menses stigmatization that I made for my boss which he turned down due to color scheme and line placement? shows his concerns really.

Yaar ye periods society aunties se zyada annoying hain

[broccolidad]

Periods are an amazing thing. Last week I started looking really puffy and ugly and I didn’t have to worry about it because I knew I was just entering the luteal phase of my cycle. Yesterday I had a headache and was crying over a couple of random things, and was able to stop myself from spiraling because I knew it was probably just the day before my period. Lo and behold, today I am bleeding. I am cleansed, clairvoyant, my skin is going back to normal. Getting your period is like a post-nut clarity no cis man will ever experience. Particularly because the day of destruction and evil that comes before it has not and will never be part of a nutting experience. To keep things short, I DID unintentionally destroy my relationship yesterday. But what my body and mind were actually doing was in harmony - it was making room. Cleansing out the old to make way for the new. People who are on birth control don’t experience this way of life - the way our bodies attune themselves to our actions and vice versa. Being able to see the alignment, control it, predict it, it’s like being the ocean. I am the weather, the tides, the clouds. I see myself, feel myself, I KNOW myself. When I act in ways that are in line with how my cycle dictates I feel - it feels divine. It feels manifested, intuitive, parental. When people say “go with the flow,” this is what they mean. Nobody goes with the flow harder than people who live their lives in true harmony with their menstrual cycles.

When Do The Menses End?

Umm ʿAṭiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: “We used to not regard the yellowish or brownish discharge after the end of menses as being of any significance.” [Reported by Abū Dāwūd] (قول أم عطية: " كنا لا نعد الصفرة والكدرة بعد الطهر شيئا ". رواه أبو داود (ص 58). Ṣaḥīḥ * صحيح. Reported by Abū Dāwūd #307, al-Dārimī 1/215, Ibn Mājah, al-Ḥākim, al-Bayhaqī from Ḥafṣah b. Sīrīn who reported it from Umm ʿAṭiyyah. رواه أبو داود (307) والدارمى (1/215) وابن ماجه (1/212/647) والحاكم (1/174) والبيهقى (1/337) من طرق عن أم الهذيل حفصة بنت سيرين عن أم عطية به. al-Ḥākim said: It is Ṣaḥīḥ upon the conditions of the two Shaykhs (al-Bukhārī and Muslim), al-Ḏahabī agreed with him, and it is as they said. وقال الحاكم: " صحيح على شرط الشيخين "، ووافقه الذهبى، وهو كما قالا. Ibn Mājah's (report) does not include the words “after purity (ie: after the menses)”, it is from al-Ḥākim and al-Bayhaqī. وليس عند ابن ماجه قوله " بعد الطهر "، وهو رواية للحاكم والبيهقى. Muḥammad Nāṣir ʾl-Dīn al-Albānī, Irwāʾ al-Ġalīl fī Takhrīj Aḥādīth Manār al-Sabīl 1/219 #199 محمد ناصر الدين الألباني، إرواء الغليل في تخريج أحاديث منار السبيل ١/٢١٩ #١٩٩ https://shamela.ws/book/22592/274 @ilmtest [https://t.me/ilmtest]

I'm very grateful that my preferred birth control medication grants me zero periods (in 16 years!), and that I only get cramps for a couple days every three months.

(My shitty sketch of what my cramps feel like. Like you're wringing out a dish rag lol.)

The Women Make Up Their Fasts, Not Their Prayers

Muʿāḏah b. ʿAbd Allah narrated: I asked ʿĀʿishah (may Allah be pleased with with her) why is it that al-ḥāʿid (ie: the woman who has menstruated) has to make up the fast she missed (during her cycle) but she does not make up the prayer? مِنْ حَدِيثِ مُعَاذَةَ بِنْتِ عَبْدِ الله العدوية، قلت: سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ رضي الله عنها، مَا بَالُ الْحَائِضِ تَقْضِي الصَّوْمَ وَلَا تَقْضِي الصَّلَاةَ؟ She said in response: “Are you a woman from Ḥarūrīyyah?” فَقَالَتْ: أَحَرُورِيَّةٌ أَنْتِ؟ I said: “I am not a woman from Ḥarūrīyyah, however, I am just asking.” قُلْت: لَسْت بِحَرُورِيَّةٍ، وَلَكِنِّي أَسْأَلُ. She said: “That used to happen to one of us (in the time of the Prophet ﷺ), we were commanded to make up the fast, and we were not commanded to make up the prayer.” قَالَتْ: كَانَ يُصِيبُنَا ذَلِكَ، فَنُؤْمَرُ بِقَضَاءِ الصَّوْمِ، وَلَا نُؤْمَرُ بِقَضَاءِ الصَّ��َاةِ، انْتَهَى. al-Zaylaʿī, Naṣb al-Rāyah 1/193 الزيلعي، نصب الراية ١/١٩٣ https://shamela.ws/book/11428/238 Telegram: https://t.me/aljadwal Tumblr: https://al-jadwal.tumblr.com

First Blood

I was genuinely more surprised by my reaction than she was, it was never my intention to embarrass her, I was already embarrassed enough for the both of us!

Things had started off innocuous enough for our family visit at the foster care agency located in the Southern Bronx. Both grandmothers were there bringing the children they had custody of in tow to the visitation with their parents and other siblings.

As an uncle I was generally just happy to be there, and tried to make my presence as unobtrusive as possible. The problem is I was raised with only brothers, only having sisters tangentially never up-close and personal to know of when a girl began her menses.

I greeted her as I did all the kids with a simple brief hug, and not even really conscious of it I noticed a brassiere strap under my fingers, I hadn't even considered that I should hold my tongue when I spoke what I felt, "Oh my god, is that a bra strap?"

The damage was done, and I had humiliated my niece and myself in a few poorly spoken words. I was so embarrassed and felt horrible I had obviously put a spotlight on my nieces condition which was probably as new to her as it was to me.

Apologizing and also verbalizing, I was bought up in a house with brothers I had no clue that at nine years old these things were remotely possible. Even from my vague rememory of female biology, puberty was something that hit around twelve or thirteen. I don't think I ever hugged the child again afterwards, but I also think we didn't have many more visits either once the adoption was finalized.

Doing the only thing I could do I sought to educate myself, having known I had a handful of girlfriends who had degrees in early childhood development, they shared with me that it was more common than widely understood. I think one of them shared with me that she got her first blood at eight years old.

I was devastated at the possibility of being able to reproduce at such a young age and wonder if our enslavement had anything to do with this phenomenon amongst young Black women. My friends explained to me it was more than likely diet and genetics, the hormones in the food especially the milk that bought on this early adolescence.

The thoughts of how prevalent sexual abuse was in Black families and how a girl-child wasn't safe in a houseful of men, I was very saddened by the thought of my niece be potentially exploited by something that was far beyond her control. Sadly, like her grandmother, and probably great grandmother and definitely her mom, she too had a baby as a teenager continuing the cycle of babies raising babies.

It would be a gross exaggeration of ego to think my actions in that brief moment contributed to this, but it was possibly a small part for which I would forever regret. As usual I saw great things for all of these kids, but they weren't growing up in environments that encouraged greatness and achievement, so they would probably follow the paths of their parents being forever depended on social services to etch out an existence in this world that never really wanted them and isn't really here for them.

It's That time of the Every 3 Weeks Again! WOMENSES Talk (Fuck TED)

It sucks that so many people let their trauma freeze them in time and progress. I take my role as a black sheep and cyclebreaker seriously. I take the belief that what I heal goes 7 gens back and 7 gens forward. I don't fuck around when it comes to my bab

I am on Day 2 of my period and not only am I here telling you about it (which I’ve been getting noticeably better at over the months… like dude, fucking progress holy shit.
