I’m so jealous of bears bc they can nap wherever they want and not a single thing is going to bother them. If you see a bear napping, if another animal sees a grizzly just conked the hell out in the middle of a field or by a pond or something, everyone avoids the bear. The worst thing that could happen is waking up the bear.
I want my naps to demand that kind of fear, that level of reverence.
Shit No One Told Me About My Period
I knew the basics before I got it, but I had no clue…
* The blood wouldn’t necessarily be red. When I first got my period, I spent a few min looking at my underwear wondering how I shit myself. I didn’t know the blood could look brown, or be thick.
* That tampons weren’t a good idea yet. I was 10 or 11 when I got my first period and physically smaller than an adult woman. My first attempt at inserting a tampon was very painful and unsuccessful. I wouldn’t use them until I was around 14 or so.
* That when you use pads the blood can get on your bottom and I’d have to occasionally clean off the toilet seat after using it.
* That getting your first period DOES NOT mean you’re fully developed and fully able to bear children. I could have technically gotten pregnant at that age, but I was still a child and pregnancy would have put my life in danger because I was still physically immature.
* That it wouldn’t be regular for another few years.
* That very painful cramping is NOT NORMAL once you reach your 20s and is cause for concern.
* That the blood and tissue you pass can look chunky or stringy and not like blood from a cut.
* That stress can halt your period for months BUT
* That doesn’t mean you can’t get pregnant
Feel free to add your own
Relatable
-passing blood clots is completely normal
-that your period may straight up skip a month when you first get it
-and then it’ll happen twice in the same month
-getting your period does NOT automatically make you a woman
Painful cramping isn’t normal in your 20’s? That’s a little concerning, mine have been getting exponentially worse
It is NOT normal.
I can 100% guarantee you have endometriosis, PCOS, or another hormone problem. If your doctor says it’s normal, DEMAND a second opinion.
Thinking that it’s normal is how people end up infertile or dead. It’s why so many women under 40 these days are having an almost impossible time either conceiving or preventing conception. Because no one teaches anyone that it’s the sign of trouble that can very seriously hurt you.
Anyone who has severe cramps, heavy bleeding, or irregular periods after about 19 years old should seek medical advice. None of those are normal.
If you have skin tags, a hard time losing weight, migraines related to your period, depression that is amplified when menstruating, severe mood swings, sleep disturbances that get worse with menstruation, or any other significant health problem that started with puberty and is worse when hormones are fluctuating you need to be checked.
None of the things that people relate to women on their periods is actually an example of a healthy woman. It’s an example of people who need one form of treatment or another.
Do NOT go to a general doctor. Find a women’s health center. Obgyn doctors. ASK SPECIFICALLY FOR A FEMALE DOCTOR. (Also helps with creating a demand for female doctors, win-win)
And if the doctor you do see tried to write you off as “nothing” or “its normal”? Politely insist for another doctor. People forget: you are paying them for a service. If you believe the doctor is not taking you or your problems seriously, ASK FOR ANOTHER DOCTOR. Specifically, “Do you have another doctor on staff who is more experienced with female health”. It is WELL within your right to change doctors as you see fit - you owe no loyalty to one specific doctor if they aren’t meeting your needs.
Reblogging for all my followers with vaginas. I have so many sisters and friends with vaginas and I didn’t know most of this. I turn 30 soon. You’d think I’d have pick up these bits of information over the years in conversation.
Hey!! Hey everybody with periods!!! If you have a period you should read this, because it’s helpful, and people with periods really aren’t taught enough about their own bodies.
even if u personally don’t get a period, someone u know/care abt prob does & u should pass this along
women’s health is health & we should all know these things, i feel
Clarification: heavy periods and bad cramping CAN be normal. But the pain should not be completely debilitating. You should not be spending an entire week in bed each month. You should not be throwing up from the pain. You should not be getting diarrhea.
There’s a difference between heavy periods and bad cramping and Something Being Wrong. But it’s never a bad idea to see a doctor about this. Your GP SHOULD BE ABLE TO HELP. But see a female doctor if you’re worried.
Periods often get heavier in your thirties. This is annoying and doesn’t necessarily mean there is anything ‘wrong’ but you may wish to see a doctor anyway and look into ways to reduce your period. There are a lot of options. Be prepared for the fact that your doctor may not be able to tell you what the side effects will be. I’m currently living with very heavy periods because the non-hormonal solution I tried was just too painful and I’m too depressed for messing with my hormones to be safe.
Not everybody has these side effects! Sadly, it’s a case of suck-it-and-see and you’ll need to way the odds based on what’s going on in your life.
If you ask yourself “Would Gomez Addams treat me this way?” And the answer is no, move tf on from that situation.
If you’re a wlw ask if Morticia would ever treat you this way.
If the answer is no, move on.
“Is this how an Addams would behave?” Is the best way to make sure you’re being treated fairly and with love
Hello, yes, can confirm. Philosophers, who study logic at its most excrutiatingly precise and complicated, and also the construction of actual arguments in natural language, and also how minds work, and also the standards for knowledge and reasonable belief, and also how informal fallacies work and why they do not allow the transference of justification across deductive inference - WE KNOW that even when we sit down and think very hard and very carefully we are still sometimes misled by our emotions and the fact that the human mind, though its functions often coincide with something like logical inference, IS NOT inherently logical - FOR ANYONE.
Also, these people who throw around words like ‘logic’ and ‘valid’ and ‘sound’ very casually rarely know what those words mean.
For example: ‘valid’ and ‘sound’ are assessments of arguments and can never apply to a single statement alone.
An argument is valid if the truth of the conclusion follows necessarily from the truth of the premises (statements that can be either true or false used as steps in an argument). ‘Follows necessarily’ here means: the conclusion cannot fail to be truth if the premises are true.
An argument is sound if and only if the argument is valid and its premises are in fact true.
Usually, when these people use those words what they mean is ‘Something that seems prima facie (at first glance) reasonable to me’ and sadly that which seems prima facie reasonable is often something that was are simply emotionally attached to OR a form of inference that is based on a strong survival-related habit, but which is only effective in specific situations and has nothing to do with deductive (logical) inference.
Anyway, these terms are actually really useful when properly understood, but they add nothing but confusion to a discussion when thrown around in order to bolster a weak mind’s confidence.
What a nice big fish.
Tiger shark
That’s the human equivalant of the “sir are you aware you are a cat” meme.
I thought I was Jewish when I was her age but I was actually Catholic so when my Jewish friends invited me to give a prayer at his house during Chanukah and I recited “Our Father who art in heaven…”, my friend’s mom got on her knees and said to my face in a super soft voice, “Joey, I think you’re catholic not Jewish,” in front of everyone and I thought I was in trouble and I started crying.
This is so cute but so heartbreaking
Everyone knows that on Uber/Lyft you should always give the driver five stars unless they, like, drive the car into the ocean or something, right? You can’t say “the ride was fine, nothing special, so I gave them three stars,” because the company will punish them for being anything less than perfect.
Well, you should know that the same rule goes for any kind of customer service survey. Unless they service you received was unacceptable, give them 5/5 or 10/10 or whatever. It’s annoying, because it ruins the sensitivity of the survey, but it’s how it’s gotta be. 9/10 gets treated like a problem and 6/10 gets treated like a disaster. Understand this and do the workers a favor by grading easy.
My mom sent this to me and i’m howling
