State of the Uterus 2.4.16

Guerrilla Tampon Society is making a comeback. Surprise. We were on an extended hiatus (that we didn’t even know was a hiatus) until a few weeks ago. Fear not, though. Lead flowmasters and co-conspirators in charge haven’t lost their love for bleeding humans and their inner red demons and Aunt Flo’s.

So, without further ado, we present to you, the State of the Uterus address February 4, 2016.

GTS’s second (crimson) wave will be focused on consistently supplying two key bathrooms on the University of Chicago campus – the first floor women’s stalls in the Regenstein Library and one of the single user rooms in Harper Library third floor. We intend to regularly restock the supply on a prearranged schedule and to offer a wider variety of sizes and menstrual health tools.

Our second 2016 resolution is to provide more than just tampons to our flowmasters. We will begin with two sizes of tampons (super and regular) as well as panty-liners. The goal is to include pads, tampons, and other menstrual accessories. If you have recommendations, send us an email or Tumblr message.

Finally, you can expect more content on the GTS blog. Because this will be coming from the minds of the same people who came up with a gorilla based menstrual group (i.e. us), this content is going to be a toss up. You can generally expect articles about personal experience dealing with periods, recommended reading, menstrual news, et. al.

Thank you for reading, for your support, and for regularly shedding your uterine lining.

With love and blood,

Gorillas

school is such a privilege and i can’t handle being here at the moment

i love my classes and i need them to graduate but i have so much work and it’s incredibly overwhelming and i don’t think i can handle it

i just want to curl up and sleep i am so angry this week was taken away from me and there is nothing i can do about it

i just want to study for bio but i also have this 10-page midterm due and also have to do reading for class and also have another paper i have to do? and another paper and another presentation and work and i can’t handle it i can’t handle it i cant handle it

i just want to curl up in a ball and sleep and this is unhealthy and i don’t want to affect the people around me but there is so much to do and i am trying but i’m paralyzed and i just want to curl up and wake up at home or in new york and just get up and go to work because if i were at home i know i wouldn’t be able to leave the house 

i wish i could just take time off i cant handle school i just want to work and maybe go to grad school but i’m so tired and i don’t want to be here my friends are here and i want them but i can’t handle school

reblog if you’re on team “I acknowledge that Draco Malfoy is a highly flawed individual and in no way condone the shit he’s done, but I strongly believe he was deserving of a redemption arc and it hurts my soul that JKR chose not to explore that”

I am literally sitting on the doorstep of Potage’s cauldron shop in Diagon Alley listening to a daughter and son explain the Hogwarts houses to their mom and it’s so precious like, “Ravencall?” “No, Ravenclaw, they’re blue and - blue, they’re blue.” Like she just gave up trying to get into secondary colors and then mom says, “Okay, Ravenclaw, and then Slytherdorf?” And now dad is chiming in, “Slytherin, they’re the green ones.”

And there’s a girl wandering around who made her own Ravenclaw skirt, like a sky blue poodle skirt with a eagle instead of a poodle.

And there’s a couple wearing Just Married buttons pouring over a map of Diagon and Knockturn trying to find the places they can do spells.

And a little boy who got the hang of how to do the magic spells in the windows and is trying to show his older brother how to do it.

And another couple decked out in Ravenclaw gear, I’m talking knee socks and Head Boy/Girls pins and full uniform.

And there’s a grown man in a Hufflepuff scarf who keeps returning to the Daily Prophet door to listen to the wizards and witches babbling inside about breaking news.

And there’s a mom and her son across from me on the steps of Flourish and Blotts and she’s drinking a warm butterbeer and he’s eating an ice cream cone from Florean Fortescue’s.

And everyone just walks around casually with their wands in their hands, eager to do magic and feel part of this world. Whole families walking up the alley with their cloaks billowing behind them. Almost everyone has Hogwarts merch on them, scarves and ties and hoodies and lanyards and sweaters. It’s chilly today because it’s January but people will come here in the middle of Florida summer and wear their scarves and sweaters because that’s how important this is to them. Boxes and bags from Ollivander’s everywhere, parents eagerly showing their children details that they may not have noticed, carts with pumpkin juice and gillywater, phone cameras taking pictures of the dragon on top of Gringotts at every angle.

People immersed in a world created by a book. It’s pretty amazing.
