Black, Trans, Queer Radical. i like what i like. (They/Them) 18+ cause i really never know what’s gonna come out of my mouth.

I am all for poc being cast in roles that highlight their cultural history and struggles

But can we also campaign for giving poc roles that are about an average person with average problems????? Roles that are given to white people by default…….

A black girl in a romance movie where the greatest obstacle isn’t her race and the greatest reward isn’t that she ends up with the white dude…….

A romantic comedy where all the poc characters aren’t stereotyped by what Hollywood classifies as their culture…..

A coming of age story starring a diverse group of children instead of a token (stereotyped) minority character…..

Can we make movies that don’t make the family dynamics in black or latinx culture dramatic or toxic?????

Can we have more Muslim representation in general????????

Can we show non-christian religions as more than oppressive?????

Can we give poc more roles than the ones that were “written for them”?????

Can we make movies showing the true diversity of society rather than trying to convince ppl that poc are just sprinkles in a white world ????????

6.5 years later I am writing plays with these very principles in mind. My outlook has evolved but I truly do intentionally seek to represent marginalized identities in my stories in an authentic and nuanced way through my lens as a Black, trans, Appalachian. I want to recognize the issues of the world and affirm the oppression marginalized folx face while celebrating our beauty, joy, and power and all around complicated human-ness.

So can we? Yes we can, and yes I am.

Love this. A census return from 1911 which records the birth of a new baby in the household, 10 minutes old and still no name :)

I imagine you've probably already seen about the whole 'travis Scott concert was a satanic ritual' thing. I completely believe that this is total bullshit because they're really not bringing fourth any evidence other than some light symbolisms. I'm asking because you're the most well versed occultist I know of. And I'm trying to provide proof that a few posters and like two pictures are not proof of satanism. Because I know people who genuinely believe this shit. We should be focused on helping the families who lost loved ones and others who got injured.

As a professional occultist, the deaths of eight real people at a Travis Scott concert was not a satanic ritual. Travis Scott specifically has a history of telling his fans to storm gates or ignore crowd barriers.

At first I was like, “Aw, he’s discovering icy crusty snow for the first time, cute!” and then I was like “Oh NO, he’s REALLY discovering icy crusty snow for the first time, RIP”

[anthropologist-on-the-loose]

I can’t stop watching this, it so perfectly encapsulates the feeling of admiring how incredible and beautiful snow can be and then immediately being inconvenienced by it like “oh, yeah, that’s right, fuck this shit”

i learned that in August 2014 Women’s Voices for the Earth commissioned testing of four types of Always menstrual pads, manufactured by Procter & Gamble. The certified laboratory STAT Analysis Corporation analyzed the products for volatile organic compound.

“The results of the testing indicate that both scented and unscented Always pads emit toxic chemicals, including chemicals identified by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services National Toxicology Program, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, and the State of California Environmental Protection Agency as carcinogens, and reproductive and developmental toxins. None of these chemicals are disclosed on the product by the manufacturer.” (x)

[moonimbued]

I switched to dye free fancy cotton pads, after years of having periods so fucking bad I would sometimes faint, and now i just get like. regular cramps occasionally, they’re not even that bad anymore.

[27ojos]

i switched back to these after using fancy organic cotton pads during my most recent period & they caused PROBLEMS out of the blue - 100% confirmed, these are not good to use

[toastbutteregg]

been using these reusable menstrual pads since november 2019 and im never going back to these commercial pads. commercial pads like these always gives me skin rashes which is so annoying. switch to reusable i swear you’ll not only be period-ready but also rashes-free!

psa they also have a starter pack in case you want to switch and you dont know what to get and an xl size for plus sized women!

[thestormalwayscalms]

EXPLAINS ALOT. WOULDVE BEEN NICE TO KNOW AWHILE AGO. COOOOOOL.

[bea-sayan]

Plus, there’s a study that showed that vagina are highly vascular so, basically, every chemical you put down there is absorbed by your body real fast and really well. In short, ditch tampon too.

[automaticdestinydelusion]

TAMPONS are dangerous frequently the direct cause of TSS  TOXIC SHOCK SYNDROME

[vidramon]

Yeah, reusable pads were one of my first major eco-friendly changes but my body has been way happier that way. They are infinitely more comfortable and effective, and I just throw them in my washing machine on the hand wash + extra rinse and hang dry. I can’t say being on your period is ever pleasant, but it’s way better than before - ESPECIALLY in situations where you can’t change as often - and I don’t feel like the harbinger of the end of the world when I look at my restroom trash can anymore :)

[chaos-and-cookies]

I always buy generic brands but wasnt “always” the ones who were sending fucked up pads to women in africa just a few years ago too???? Fuck always brand.

[moonlightmarathon]

PSA!!!

they now have a budget-friendly trial pack so you no longer have to worry which pad fits best for you. you can just buy the pack to get one pad of each size!!

[night-dragon937]

Could the fact that i use Always brand be the reason i get such bad cramps?? I must test this theory…

[abundantlyblessedchildofgod-dea]

Also, pads can take up to 800 years to decompose. Yikes.

[maybeitsfinallytime]

Cariona pads (link above) are AWESOME. Don’t knock it til you try it - I’ll never go back to always pads. My period is, like, manageable, for the first time in my life. It is no longer a struggle with excruciating cramps, heavy bleeding, leakage, and looooong periods, but like, mild to medium cramps, and I HAVE A CYCLE AGAIN for the first time in years. Try it. The upfront cost is daunting, I understand, because I was worried I wouldn’t like them, but I’m SO GLAD I got them. Just toss them in bottom of your shower when you take them off, shower as usual, and then squeeze them out. That basically rinses them for you, and then they’re all set for the washer and dryer. You’ll thank yourself later; give it a try.

[the-real-nekoma-kenma]

Why isn’t anyone talking about how cute the Cariona pads are? They look adorable tbh

[whomst-am-i]

Cariona pads are amazing and they are SO cute. Like @maybeitsfinallytime was saying, they’re really easy to rinse out, and I usually hang them over my shower rod to dry so I can reuse them during the cycle, then give them a proper wash in hot water with a little sanitizing detergent afterwards.

[irishsong]

Here’s to trying some. I even bought the animal crossing variety! Maybe I’ll never worry about running out of pads again? Who knows? I’ll update when I’ve tried them.

[madronasky]

For people who menstruate 🩸….

[xoperidottea]

UPDATE: I just ordered the trial pack. I personally have a lot of problems with excruciating cramps my cycle being consistent, especially in recent months after losing weight and medications and such. Hopefully these work well/help because I always feel guilty about the amount of waste normal pads create

[didsomebodysay-kat-aesthetic]

Due to when the reusable pads I ordered arrived I ended up switching literally in the middle of my last period and the difference was instant, I’ve gotten really bad cramps for as long as I can remember and still did the first half this time around but I didn’t cramp at all wearing the reusable pads. I highly recommend the switch.

[pinkbalrog]

I bought the cariona pads too and oh my gosh. The difference. I went from painful cramps and headaches to just mild cramps for like a day. They are so easy to use and so comfortable.

[angel-0ver-you]

Been saying this for years and people thought I was crazy, it definitely affects us women and we should have a say in how these things are manufactured.
