i am very interested in the daily life/administration of the wandenreich, both under yhwach and his regent (whom i'm assuming would be haschwalt, possibly helped/advised by the royal guard or alone) because sure it is a military, born as a military, and everything else that's been built around it is meant to enhance the military effort—but the wandenreich lurked for like a thousand years and though they may have been mostly preparing for yhwach's return and the inevitable war that would have ensued, it is very much canon that they have also been researching, developing, creating etc (writing and painting and god knows what else, i would add) and generally living. and they have rules and laws, which means that they also have a judiciary system to reinforce them. how is yhwach's justice dispensed? how similar is the quincy court to those in the world of the living? what are the reactions to major events that happens outside the schatten bereich, namely the quincy massacre? and what are the reactions to minor events, daily news, whether they be happy or sad—do they celebrate marriages? births? do they hold funerals? if so, what are the rites like? how are sternritters perceived by standard foot soldiers? i'm obsessed

this post is fearmongering. the results of this study are concerning and should definitely be a matter of public discussion, but this is certainly not the conclusion the researchers came to.

the point of the study was to assess the risks of exposure to toxic metals- something one of the co-authors notes are “ubiquitous” fwiw- via menstrual products. Their research confirmed that these metals are indeed present in tampons, but no further conclusions are drawn. it is possible the metal entered into the cotton from the soil, which is a well-known phenomenon; cotton is so good at lifting heavy metals that it has actually been suggested as a part of the solution for revitalizing polluted ground.

the authors conclude with an acknowledgement that the study should be repeated- their sample size was 60 tampons- and a suggestion that further testing ought to be done to indicate whether or not these metals can even leech out of the tampon in the first place, let alone whether or not such leeching could occur at levels deleterious to human health.

there is, in fact, a body of research- too small, for sure, but much larger than this single study- indicating that long-term proper tampon use has no observable negative impact on health. i am grateful and thrilled that more research is being done and i hope that this study is the first of many on this line of questioning, but i am really frustrated at this post and the response it got.

obviously, if this study alters your approach to menstrual health, more power to you. consumers should be informed-risk-takers, and menstrual health is double-obviously a very personal choice. but it definitely wasn't the researchers concluding that you ought to “avoid using tampons at all cost," only this tumblr user did. the lead author of the paper, in fact, specifically says that she hopes people do NOT panic about the results.

(the notes of the post were disappointing. people affirming that they knew they were right to be suspicious of tampons all along, or even recommending alternatives that actually have very little to no research regarding the safety of long-term use, etc. it’s a different conversation, but categorical distrust of tampons is old-school misogyny. you certainly shouldn't wear them if you don’t want to, but there is nothing inherently scary or wrong about them, and people who prefer them are not being reckless or crass.)

((if you're really worried about exposure to heavy metals, you may want to turn a critical eye to fast fashion, as an aside))
