#super informative

[scoundrellyfeline]

I don't normally post this kind of thing, but i found a super informative youtube video that was about cleaning. I'm not a hoarder, but my room does tend to get super messy, and i have trouble keeping things clean. This video was interesting enough that I, someone diagnosed with ADHD, ccould follow it and not want to turn it off immediately. I genuinely didn't know that you need to wipe off a surface before you sterilize it.

I don't know who needs to watch it, but it's only been out for 11 days, so most people who will see it probably dont even know it exists. I know a lot of people on this hellsite have a turbulent relationship with their parents/guardians, and might not know this info, so yeah.

NARAL believes pro-lifers are winning the online messaging battle

Since Roe, the law has been decidedly on the side of abortion advocates. Roe v. Wade & Doe v. Bolton made it nearly impossible to pass meaningful abortion restrictions before viability (about 5 months into pregnancy). This legal status quo isn't some comfortable middle ground. Polls generally find that Americans are open to abortion for medical emergencies and/or abortion early in pregnancy, but get far more resistant when it comes to abortion for any reason ("elective" abortion) and/or abortion after the first trimester. If that description is the middle ground, the current legal status of abortion is much further to the pro-choice side. Despite lobbying groups' dramatic protestations that there are hundreds of new "anti-choice" restrictions every year (definitions of "restriction" are broad), on a national level the U.S. has some of the most liberal abortion laws in the world. Even the recent controversy over Mississippi's 15-week ban misses the part where that ban would still leave Mississippi abortion law lax by international standards (see "European Gestational Limits on Elective Abortion" pg 4). 

The pro-choice side has had a distinct advantage in terms of the law; has that meant they haven't had to engage as fully in terms of hearts and minds? I imagine it's easier to defend the status quo than to fight for major change. Would it be enough for pro-choicers to reiterate the same primary arguments with more vigor, or would they need to start making new arguments? Would they need to address our points in more depth, or would they be better served doubling down on different subjects? It's hard to predict how this debate will transform if Roe goes.

psa to all women:

i just found this super cool reusable menstrual pad that will save us thousands of bucks

apparently an average woman spends about $120/year on pads and tampons and an additional $20/year on medications for cramps and other period side effects. since we menstruate for approximately 40 years, we spend (40 times 140) =  $5,600 for our period over our lifetime. 

IMAGINE WHAT YOU CAN BUY FOR $5,600?!?!

which is why i turned to menstrual pads. eco-friendly, economical and healthy 

also, im saying goodbye to everyone in the public bathroom knowing im on my period

i got the pads here and they have all the info on their website!

also check out other eco-friendly products with their info here!
