Not to kill the vibe, but ICE is also detaining Black Americans in Chicago, and we should all be paying attention.

[nymphoutofwater]

Tenants said it appears everyone in the building was detained by federal officers, including US citizens. […] Ballard said the majority of those he saw handcuffed outside were Black residents and “quite a few” were detained for two to three hours.

The idea of listening to no black music is bizarre to me. Even if it's not rap like no earth wind and fire? No reggae? No moonstomp? No ska? No classic jazz? No R and B? No disco??? No skindred? No jungle? No even like metal bands with a few black members? No gospel? Not even stuff like alors en dance? No blues music? No mo town? No jazz of any kind? No big band? No soul music? Not even a little James Brown?

[discodyke-dogthing]

SO much of modern popular music is based on the groundwork built by black culture but they’re too racist to admit that the music they love is not nearly as white as they want it to be

[thefingerfuckingfemalefury]

Black artists are the entire reason popular music exists

Before the blues came along, when it came to professionally produced music your choices were basically classical music, bible music or NOTHING

There was no pop music, there was no rap, there was no rock and roll, there was no punk...

And all of those genres and more have taken small or big cues from the stuff that the Black artists who pioneered this stuff did <3

So much modern pop music and country especially owe MASSIVE debts to the Blues...go back and listen to the work of the artists from this era and so much of this stuff has the same cheeky, playful energy that you now find in the work of awesome modern day artists like Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter

i learned that there is no federal law requiring ingredients in menstrual products to meet a standard of safety. (x)

According to Women’sVoices.Org, “This is especially concerning considering the route of exposure—these products are used in the body and on sensitive vulva tissue, possibly increasing the uptake of chemicals into the body.”

[suspend]

this is incredibly alarming and it’s why popular brands like “always” get away while we suffer the consequences of experiencing extreme cramps and/or skin rashes. this is primarily the reason why i switched to reusable menstrual products three years ago. since switching, i have not suffered any irritations or infections at all.

ps also do your research with whatever reusable product you’re buying. i personally have only tried pads because one piece of period underwear is too expensive for me (plus the pfa’s issue scared me) and cups are too intrusive for me (i just couldnt get it to “get in” sorry if tmi. i just thought id share)

[only1600kids]

@suspend what type of reusable pad do you use? how do you wash it? what do you do with the used pad while you’re out? isnt using “reusable products” unhygienic and more prone to infections cause you have to “wash it?” how sure are you that its thoroughly washed?

[suspend]

@only1600kids i use reusable pads from cariona. i got the trial pack initially then after going through their flow test, i got the medium flow pack for full period coverage. they also have more affordable options like the starter pack, heavy flow pack etc.

the pads are handwash, machine wash and dryer compatible. i usually handwash it during my shower then machine wash it with my other clothes.

while im out, i just fold it then put it in the waterproof pouch. it doesnt smell nor leak at all. then i just wash it when im ready to shower.

for me, its not really unhygienic. i used to always have skin rashes and infections before reusable products but after switching, i have never had any infections in three years of usage. 

but its all up to what you want. maybe a cup would work more for you or underwear. its just for me, the pads are the most affordable and flexible option because as mentioned, i find cups so uncomfortable and underwear to be super expensive. not to mention, with underwear, if your size changes, you’ll have to buy a whole pack again but thankfully not with pads. hope this helps!

edited: linked the products to easily find them

[beawriting]

I love the reusable ones! I didn’t realize how irritated my skin was until I made the switch.

[maybeitsfinallytime]

I’ve had the same set of about 15 Cariona pads and pantiliners for the last two years and I’ll never go back. Just like the person above, I put the used ones in the bottom of my shower to soak and squeeze them out toward the end of the shower. Then I wash them with the rest of my clothes in the washer and dryer. They have no odor, are just as soft and absorbant as the day I bought them, and they never ever leak. Sometimes they shift, but that’s my fault for sometimes not wearing cotton undies with them. Regardless, I love them and they have made my menstruation a much more survivable bodily function.

[suave-bowlers-deactivated202303]

@only1600kids I use the Cariona pads. I usually rinse them out in the sink until the water runs clear then throw them in the washing machine

[whomst-am-i]

Yes yes yes yes!!! Cariona runs ads like crazy on this site but I will rb them every time bec they are actually quality!! They work so well, they don’t smell, they’re easy to clean, and they have good options for colors/patterns!! The only downside is that they’re a small investment but I’ve had mine for years now and they hold up to use and vigorous washing well.

[the-composite-doll]

I also hand wash my Cariona pads with Dr Bronner’s Castile soap.

I found detergent wash causes slight irritation

THIS IS WHY YOU DON'T FUCKING GLUE SHIT TO A CAR.

Or, okay, look, I work in manufacturing. You would be shocked to find out how much shit you can glue to other shit. And so there is probably a glue out there that could actually be used to glue parts of a car to other parts of a car and do just fine. Adhesives are fucking wild.

But.

BUT.

THAT AIN'T THE ONE THEY USED. THEY USED A GLUE KNOWN TO GO BRITTLE. WITH ABSOLUTELY STUPID TEMPERATURE REQUIREMENTS TO KEEP IT FROM GOING BRITTLE ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.

According to Tesla's website, the glue can withstand up to 212 degrees Fahrenheit. Which SOUNDS like it's fine, but it's glue under stainless steel, which can easily get to nearly 200 degrees if it's only 90 degrees out. Also, the heat limit should be listed as a range, not a flat number. Odds are, it CAN get up to 212, but it's the upper limit. It'd be much more truthful (and safter) to list it as, say 200-212, which gives a margin to work with. But if they did that, people might actually look up how hot stainless steel can get in direct sunlight.

My point is, the glue goes full brittle at 212, but also, it's going to take a hit to its overall integrity before that. Which is why shit's falling off these damn things. Because it's made as stupidly as possible to try and prove all the safety regs we have for cars are stupid.

And now they're all getting pulled off the road. Because they aren't road safe. Because shit keeps falling off of them.

[greyhairedgeekgirl]

If extending a right to all people reduces your rights in any way?  That means that right has been dependent on the oppression of someone else.

It means you’ve been profiting from the subjugation of others in some way.  Are you good with that?
