Imagine finally getting some downtime from missions and planning a night out with the girls, only to get saddled with looking after Loki at the last minute. At first, Loki’s a little offended by how put off you are at having him around since you’d gotten along well enough before until you explain to him that you were hoping for a girl’s night and now you couldn’t go. Loki surprises you by shapeshifting into a woman, reasoning that now you can both go out with the others AND keep an eye on her like Thor asked. Natasha and the others are a bit sceptical at first, but it turns out that Loki’s actually very fun to go out with, even if you do run a slightly higher risk of getting arrested than usual.

Fibroids hair straightener alert

Calls for more research into hair relaxers and fibroids which impact Black women. By Leah Mahon and Sinai Fleary

Hair relaxers could be causing higher rates of fibroids among Black women, a study has found. Relaxers and leave-in conditioners were linked to an increased risk of the more aggressive form of breast cancer at a younger age, according to research by Boston University in the US. Estrogen hormone compounds contained in some Black hair products were singled out as the culprit. The link with increased fibroids is also under the microscope, with the Black Women’s Health Study of 23,500 premenopausal women finding that women who used hair relaxers were 17% more likely to develop fibroids compared to women who did not use these products. While there are not yet any UK studies into this area, the red flag will surely alarm Black women in Britain too. Fibroids are non-cancerous growths of muscle and fibrous tissue that develop in and around the womb. The issue with fibroids is not only the disproportionate level of for Black women, but the negative experience such as late diagnosis due to treatment by healthcare professionals. 80% of African-Caribbean women are predicted to suffer from fibroids by the age of 50, in comparison to 70% of white women, NHS research has found.

Once again, Black women pay the price when trying to fit into a white society. Admittedly, some will use hair straighteners because they want to and not because they want/are forced to fit in. Skin lighteners are in the territory as hair straighteners.
