two mini-zines I made a while ago.
One is a comic dealing with PMS the other one deals with possible feelings during menstruation.
I send them for free worldwide if you send me a mini-zine in return. đ

"...a $600,000 grant to Southern University in Louisiana was being revoked for studying 'menstrual cycles in transgender men,'...The grant was actually intended for research on the potential health risks posed by synthetic feminine hygiene products and for developing alternatives using natural fibers and fabrics, according to the project's documentation, which was publicly filed on the USDA website."

@Tabs, @Anne Herpertz, Kit und @Zwecki / Flo bereiten in der 82. Folge des Piratencasts die #Bundestagswahl nach. Neben Einblicken in die Wahlkampfzeit und eines ziemlich unvorhersehbar langen, mikrowellen-warmen Aufbereitens der aktuellen #Sondierungen auf Bundesebene geht es noch um den feministischen Kampftag und kostenfreie #Periodenprodukte.

From the article: "The Trump administration has revoked a $600,000 federal grant awarded to Southern University Agricultural and Mechanical College after conservative activists falsely claimed it was funding research on âmenstrual cycles in transgender men.â The decision comes amid the administrationâs broader crackdown on programs acknowledging transgender and nonbinary people."

USDA scraps hygiene study for trans mention
The study is meant to improve health during menstruation.Christopher Wiggins (Advocate.com)
Was ein bisschen Druck bewirken kann. Nachdem @stillnotlovin und Julia Hartl die Ratshaustoiletten schon zweimal aus eigener Tasche mit Hygieneartikeln versorgt haben, hat die Stadtverwaltung #Dresden nun doch einen Gang zugelegt und den #Staddrat - Beschluss von 2021 endlich umgesetzt - zumindest zum Teil.

âHygieneartikel sind kein Luxus, sondern eine Notwendigkeit. Man(n) stelle sich vor, Angestellte mĂŒssten ihr eigenes Toilettenpapier mitbringen.", sagt unsere #Piraten-StadtrĂ€tin und sozialpolitische Sprecherin der @PVP-Kooperation @Anne Herpertz.
Sie hat gestern zusammen mit Julia Hartl (#SPD) Menstruationsprodukte auf allen 30 Toiletten im Rathaus verteilt. Diese Eigeninitiative ist notwendig, da ein Stadtratsbeschluss aus dem Juli 2021, dass die Hygieneartikel auf den Toiletten vorgehalten werden sollen, immer noch nicht umgesetzt wurde. Und das, obwohl solche Angebote in anderen StÀdten wie #Leipzig bereits umgesetzt und gut angenommen wurden.
Das Thema #Menstruation muss endlich raus aus der Tabuzone!

Things I didn't know about menopause and perimenopause until they happened to me:
- extremely itchy ear holes
- exhausted way too easily
- suddenly growing tits after a lifetime of being flat
- feeling much more feminine than masculine
- anxiety levels cranked up to 11
- skin no longer sloughs off dead skin on its own
- bones trying to turn into talc
- ghost periods, as in all the symptoms of menstruation except for the blood
- my hair went from being really curly to slightly wavy
There are probably more, but that'll do for now. #menstruation #menopause #perimenopause
Yes, precisely. Let's talk bloody hell and not assume everyone's anatomy is identical. I've heard so many women argue it's not that bad, and they manage without even taking an aspirin. I mean, good for you, but is it such a wild concept that bodies react and feel differently from person to person?
I wish you get appropriate help.
I was finally diagnosed with endometriosis, then post hysterectomy with adenomyosis. Years of pain and the last few with clots and flooding. My first gynae was nasty and appeared to hate women, he described himself as a preserver of ovaries. To women with endo.
My last was fantastic and removed everything.
I'm not looking for medical advice, I'm just venting, but I'm tired of pretending menstruation isn't debilitating. Mine are bloody awful. Have been since I was nine years old. I'm really looking forward to menopause.
If you consider this tmi, or think I should hide this with cw, that is very much part of the problem, and I strongly suggest you consider why that is your reaction.

Surprising brain benefits of #Menstruation revealed
For years, menstruation has been associated with physical discomfort and perceived cognitive decline. However, recent research from University College London is challenging these assumptions. A groundbreaking study reveals that menstruation may enhance certain cognitive abilities, such as decision-making, information processing, and problem-solving.

Ok step 1 of Operation: Blood for the Blood God is âmake a pouch Iâm happy with.â This is a quick prototype that is broadly correct: there are two expandable pockets and a middle small pocket and a fold over flap. The expandable pockets means it can hold about 5 each pads and tampons which means, much like NASA to Sally Ride, I must ask the menstruators of mastodon if thatâs the right number of tampons. I think I made the middle pocket a shade too big and would probably drop it by a half inch in all dimensions on the next attempt, but itâs not bad. The whole thing maybe could be a little bit smaller but then we get back into questions of whatâs the right number of tampons, because smaller means fewer.
