It is frankly horrifying to think about how all people who get periods were essentially just born with the fate of developing a painful, messy, potentially debilitating chronic illness during puberty and then they just have to quietly suffer through it for the majority of their lifetime.

I can very easily understand why it got assigned as a curse sent from god

Fitting that the Egyptian god associated with fertility and menstruation has a very bloody past.𓁳

I've been meaning to share this for a while. It's nothing fancy but it's just a nice technique to have. I know it's helped me.

Employer: if you’re on your period, just take a pain killer. You can still work.

My brother in sin, pain killers will only dampen pain, not remove the cause, nor will they ease all pain if the pain is too severe. So even if I were to no longer feel the pain, if I then start working, the thing causing the pain will then become worse, meaning that the pain killer will likely sooner rather than later be rendered ineffective because periods aren’t just an owie wowie guess it hurts a little kind of event. Being active whilst on pain killers will also make the thing causing the pain actually last longer and more severely, so you’ll effectively be losing work time from me for more days if you don’t let me have the time to rest when the pain is at it’s worst. Trust me, people with periods everywhere just suffer through the moments where it’s just ‘very painful’ or ‘very inconveniencing’ and you likely won’t even be able to tell, because they’ve become so good at coping. Listen to them when they say they need time off because it is simply too much to bear.

You know why I hate this thing with referring to women as birthing people etc.?

Because I know exactly why they do this. During and after WW2 some people, even historians, tended to describe Holocaust as the tragedy of humanity, they talked about the deaths of people from different countries. But the thing is it was not about some people of some nationalities. Holocaust was a planned genocide of Jews. And it happened not because of some dark evil in human hearts, it happened because of antisemitism. Forgetting about it completely changes how we see the truth about these events. And it's not accidental. It's done on purpose. Because this hatred is still there.

Language has the power to change reality.

So that's why when I see terms like people with uteruses or people with holes it doesn't only disgust me. It's terrifying me. Because clearly there are people who want to erase those crucial words that we use to describe our reality:

WOMAN, FEMALE, MISOGYNY, PATRIARCHY, SEX BASED OPRESSION.

You know who these people are are. You know what it means.

Period cramps be like "every 5 seconds I want to bowl over with pain but I can't because I'm in the middle of playing pool with my family" and then 10 seconds later you're perfectly fine but you don't want to do anything because you're just waiting for the next round of pain.

Heh life sucks

It's just so weird to me how quickly the stigma of "oh, I can't use tampons, I'm a virgin" or "ew! You have to push that inside??" Turned into the attitude of "pads are like nappies. Are you a baby?"

I guess I just don't get why there are so many negative stigmas against the methods people use to deal with periods.

If my mom sees a significant amount of blood she gets lightheaded, and has fainted on some occasions. Once it happened when we were kids, I wasn't there to witness it but I heard the story from my dad. Basically my brothers, around 7 or 8 at the time, were playing outside while my mom was making their lunch, and she accidentally cut her finger. It wasn't anything serious, but it drew a fair bit of blood and she passed out. My dad saw this and rushed over, but he didn't really know what to do so he just sort of started slapping her to wake her up (not recommended, but he had no idea and panicked)

At that exact moment my brothers both came in from playing, and all they saw was our mom unconscious on the floor and our dad slapping her. So, like, without even saying a word to each other they both just INSTANTLY start whaling on him, like, full blown attack mode to defend our mom. Which obviously didn't help the situation, but she did wake up and everything was fine.

Now our dad says that he's actually really glad they attacked him over what they thought was going on, because it means he raised good boys. And I still think that's true, they're very good boys.

#i think about this story sometimes like yeah I'm proud of them for that too actually. good job baby brothers #they're not babies anymore of course they're turning 20 next year which is crazy #but they're still the type of people who'd do something if they saw something of this sort happen for sure #respectful of women and everyone else too. they're good guys #I'm glad I ended up with them living in my house against my will for like 14 years #anyway i have no idea where i was for all this but my best guess is probably a friends house given the time period #i was always at my besties house lol #i hope she's doing well too actually. haven't spoken in forever... #bestie from greek elementary school... if you're out there... let's get muffins and fanta at the bakery across the street again someday 💜☮️

Me: I have a million and a half things to do this week and four days to do them, and I have no idea how I'm going to get it all done, and I'm just low-level freaking out at all times.

My stupid uterus: Hey, you know what you need? How about a hormone grenade?
