Pre-menstrual depression is always depicted as like "He He! I had a box of icecream bars and cried while watching the Titanic!" But in reality, it's more like, "I'm standing the edge of an abyss. There is nothing good inside of me, I'm filled with rage and desperation."
It's crazy that being told how to deal with that is never a part of anyone's menstrual sex education.
This has already been said in the notes, but if PMS causes extreme depression and even suicidal ideation, that is in fact something that most people do not experience and it can be treated
Like for the majority it really is "oh i'm hungrier and moodier than usual"
^this should be a part of sex education so the point still stands
The world exists in such a baffling state of simultaneous sex-aversion and sex-hegemony. Every social platform on the internet is trying to banish sex workers to the shadow realm but I can't post a tweet without at least two bots replying P U S S Y I N B I O. People are self-censoring sex to seggs and $3× but every other ad you see is still filled with half-naked women. Rightwingers want queer people arrested for so much as existing in the same postal code as a child and are also drumming up a moral panic about how teenage boys aren't getting laid enough. I feel like I'm losing my mind.
I still vividly remember sitting at a bus stop downtown scrolling through endless Tumblr discourse about kink at Pride and whether leather daddies were appropriate. To my left, there was a giant ad that took up the whole side of the bus stop advertising a bag collection for some high-end brand. It was a black and white shot of a model who was completely nude, sitting on a chair, her legs spread wide open while she clutched a bag in front of her crotch and positioned her arms in just the right way to cover her nipples.
Nobody even batted an eye. No discourse was made about this. Life just went on.
I think detaching disgust from morality is one of the keys to Chilling Out. You can find inner peace by being able to go "hm! Gross" and recognize if it's an actual problem or not. Cause if it's not an actual problem... it's not your problem 🙏 god bless
Every callout post that's like "she jacks off to Weird Porn! Isn't that gross? Don't you hate it?" I mean maybe but I have the same reaction to sour cream. Personally I'm in the habit of using my brain to determine if something is ethical/moral/etc or not instead of just my first knee jerk reaction, like, "is this actively harmful to anyone involved" is a more useful question than "do I personally think it's gross"
Also if you find yourself doing mental gymnastics to explain why something could hypothetically be harmful, potentially, under the right circumstances, it's probably Just Gross. Especially if the scenario you crafted involves a secret third party besides the Consenting Adults involved ??? You are making up a guy to be mad at, my friend
This is why fat shaming can have tragic consequences.
My policy for the past couple of years is to go into the Doctor and state my symptoms. Then tell the Doctor. “STOP” “I want your diagnosis and treatnment options for someone weighing 135 pounds.” When they try to argue and immediately START with weight, I firmly reiterate they are to diagnose me as if I were 135 pounds. Eventually most grudgingly will think about it and answer me. I’ll allow them then to “triumphantly” go on to dismiss their previous diagnosis and pin everything on my weight.
Then I point out I have been the same weight for 15 years and these symptoms are sudden and new. My weight is no factor in that. Give me the tests and treatment you first mentioned.
This is how they discovered a large fibroid that needed to be removed. From stories I’ve heard from others, if I hadn’t approached it this way it might have taken me years of pain and discomfort before they might have finally discovered the fibroid and treated it.
Just remember;
DEMAND A DIAGNOSIS FOR THE SAME SYMPTOMS FOR A PERFECT BMI FOR YOUR HEIGHT FIRST!!!
Also. Treat fat people with respect or die by my blade.
Very important addition.

looks like "yes" wins!
I think this better explained gerrymandering better to me than any explanation I've heard
wake up babe new educational meme dropped
"Don't use Libby because it costs libraries too much, pirate instead" is such a weird, anti-patron, anti-author take that somehow manages to also be anti-library, in my professional librarian-ass opinion.
It's well documented that pirating books negatively affects authors directly* in a way that pirating movies or TV shows doesn't affect actors or writers, so I will likely always be anti-book piracy unless there's absolutely, positively no other option (i.e. the book simply doesn't exist outside of online archives at all, or in a particular language).
Also, yeah, Libby and Hoopla licenses are really expensive, but libraries buy them SO THAT PATRONS CAN USE THEM. If you're gonna be pissed at anybody about this shitty state of affairs, be pissed at publishing companies and continue to use Libby or Hoopla at your library so we can continue to justify having it to our funding bodies.
One of the best ways to support your library having services you like is to USE THOSE SERVICES. Yes, even if they are expensive.
*Yes, this is a blog post, but it's a blog post filled with links to news articles. If you can click one link, you can click another.
Please, PLEASE use Libby. OverDrive. Hoopla. CloudLibrary. Kanopy. Flipster. Freegal. Transparent Language. Mango. Jstor. Your library would not offer it if they could not afford it, and we afford things by reporting the number of people who use that service, so if you don't use the service we can't afford it. It's a cycle. Keep it going, keep using it, and we'll keep providing because we'll be able to justify the cost to the bean counters in government.
idk man. i just think itd be really cool if sign language classes were mandatory throughout primary school. yeah because it would make communication with deaf kids and autistic/nonverbal kids much easier. and those kids would be accessible to the others so they could make friends and have healthy relationships. yeah. and kids would eat that shit up man. like their own little secret language? they love that.

shoutout to paris hilton for not abandoning her ‘micropig’
when it turned out that it was a normal piggy who grew up to be a big fat fatty piggu
Actually that’s pretty standard size for a micro pig. Pigs are ENORMOUS, dude. The average pig on a farm is 7 feet long and over 700 lbs. A normal pig would be much bigger than Hilton.
EDIT: This is a photo of the world’s smallest recognized breed of pig, the kune kune. I’m sorry cartoons lied to you all.
This is the pot bellied pig, another famous “small” breed.
This is your average adult pig.
Big ole’ pigs.
Wild boars can feed people for a very long time! I believe this one was 1800 lbs. (largest piggy ever was about 1,984 lbs)
I NOW KNOW WHY WILD BOARS WERE SO DANGEROUS IN THE DARK AGES HOLY SHIT; RICHARD III I TAKE BACK ALL THE TRASH I TALKED ABOUT YOUR HOUSE CREST GOOD GOD THAT’S TERRIFYING.
holy fucking shit I knew they were big but that’s like the size of a fucking CAR.
And pigs are actually smarter than a lot of other farm animals. They’ll figure out how to break out of gates with locks that other animals can’t figure out.
Documenting what is quite possibly the best exchange I have ever seen on this website.
This website is a prison amd stuff like these are the bars of my cell.
Guy just walked in with a shirt that said “I don’t question my wife’s choices because I’m one of them” and frankly I’m obsessed
Young man, you're divulging incriminating statement to a daughter of a police officer. You are going to jail.
i had a dream the other day that i found a plastic box and inside it was every childhood toy i ever lost and wished to hold again. but anyway its all normal i think.
an incredible feeling of contentedness washed over me when i looked in the box. i didn't even touch anything in the box, but the feeling that everything that was lost and missed and wondered about was finally found and tangible washed over me in a wave of tranquility . and i don't think it was just the box? i think in that moment, on the floor of my bedroom, with the midday sun coming in through the window, every loose end was tied and every lost toy could be held and every lost memory could be revisited in perfect detail. that nothing would ever be truly lost again.
so maybe i met an angel actually
