Here's the finished product thank you for the ideas and it's so cool looking! Very excited to put it on my backpack :D

sooo I was thinking a bit and I realized something.

the reason society is disgusted by period blood is because it comes out of a woman’s vagina.

But that’s the same hole every single human on this planet came out too (except for c-sections but you get the point)

So if you think my blood is disgusting, then you are too!

[idkbishsss]

Anyone else’s just forget they have periods?

Like they just get up go to the bathroom, look see blood in the toilet and go, “HUN??? TF?? Oh.. shit yeah, I got to deal with this again.”

Because, that happened to me today-

I'm on my period. Boring.

My vagina is soaked in the blood of my enemies. Exciting, powerful, strong.

i respect people who want to keep their menstruation to themselves but i have to make it everyone's problem. Literally if it was socially acceptable to lead every conversation with "I'm menstruating" i would.

There was this one time I was on my period. I felt like shit and I was cramping like really bad.

I was in the car with my dad, step mom, and sister. My step mom keep asking me what was wrong, over and over.

I’m fine. I’m fine. I’m fine. She would not let it go. She has a problem of being a massive bitch. Incurable unfortunately.

So after a few minutes of this, I was like fine whatever, I’m on my period.

Horrified silence. And I remember her saying, “Don’t be vulgar.” Or something to that effect.

Like, you fucking asked me?

au idea... tng but it's set in the 80s and the enterprise is an apartment building rather than a ship

other tenants of the building include: -Picard (the head of the college that Data attends) and Q (no one really knows what he does, he just pops in and out whenever he pleases) -Troi (high school guidance counselor) and Riker (personal trainer) and Worf used to live here too but he moved out -Beverly (still a doctor) and Wesley (burnt out college freshman) -Barclay (works at Blockbusters w/ Data and Geordi) -Guinan (bartender of a secretly gay bar)

the ds9 apartment is a whole other story

people need to stop being grossed out about periods

its just someone's body doing A Natural Thing that they can't really control

It's just someone's body being all like"we should get ready for a baby !!" and the person not being able communicate with their body "hey, Im not actually gonna have a baby!"

I'm not saying periods are normal in a way "people who have periods need to stop being dramatic, it's not that bad!", I'm saying it's not gross !

Normalize periods

the number of afab people replying to the pain poll going "yeah I've broken limbs and had 1st degree burns and given birth but nothing tops my menstrual pain" is so fucked up it is unbelievable. and I was right there with everyone else until I stumbled on a low dose progestin regimen that just made me stop menstruating. which I would recommend to everyone except it just doesn't work for everyone. ask your doc about it though, it won't cause permanent side effects or injury to try it out. i take norethindrone 2.5mg 2x/day. this dose has to be different for each patient to work correctly, that's just what I take. there's some research to suggest synthetic progesterone like norethindrone is carcinogenic so I'm going to look into switching. anyway i just got extremely lucky. there is seriously nothing like it. it was the worst pain I ever felt until the urology incident and frankly I think the menstrual pain was already a factor in the outcome of the urology incident

i feel like people are sleeping on the occam's razor situation of how buckwild it is to outright accuse a guy of being a clone of your friend even if you DO have a lot of circumstantial evidence. there's other options is what im saying. they could just be like. a guy. that's a sensible deduction. you should explore that deduction. ignore my shirt that reads I <3 RED HERRINGS.

i still think odile has the correct theory on lock but she's smart enough to know it needs like... a real smoking gun to be able to bring it up without sounding insane.

anyway. (mirabelle voice) i know its rude to speculate but has anyone else noticed the grieving? they seem to be grieving. does anyone have any thoughts on the grieving? i have some thoughts on the grieving.
