I can't find much of a web presence for this press, so do your own due diligence, but I'm sharing this call for submissions because it's menopause-related, accepts previously published work, and has no reading fee

[Stained Anthology Out Now! (Querencia Press) @AFlo2020]

We've got a lot of them in the Stained Anthology!

I swear to god I am going to make pamphlets will all the major, minor, & possible symptoms of perimenopause/menopause to hand out to women. Because we are not told about these things & doctors don’t warn us or have these discussions. Why is it up to women to inform one another?

Menstrual health is a vital part of humanitarian relief. Yet menstruation is often overlooked in humanitarian responses.

"Before the Hysterectomy" - one of three poems by friend of Stained @emmabo in the current issue of The Shore Poetry https://t.co/3GCg6NCfJB

[Stained Anthology Out Now! (Querencia Press) @AFlo2020]

We get it. Love it, hate it, agnostic towards it - we all experience our periods differently. That's why we published the Stained anthology, covering the full range of menstrual emotions and experiences in poetry and prose.

Congratulations to Stained editor Jennifer Saunders

Happy publication day to four-time Stained contributor @_rayehendrix! 🎉🎂🎈

We published the Stained anthology because maybe, just maybe, sharing stories of leaking through in the TA's office, in the outfield, on the jungle-gym, at the Punk show will maybe, just maybe, make more of us more understanding & empathetic. Maybe, just maybe, even change policy

[Rewire News Group @RewireNewsGroup]

1/ Gov. Tim Walz's detractors have dubbed him "Tampon Tim" because he signed a bill mandating free menstrual products in Minnesota public schools. The law addresses a genuine need—86% of menstruators have started their period unexpectedly in public. https://t.co/UT76HzNWSr /

Love this genre-crossing menopause poem by Roseanna Alice Boswell in Glass Poetry https://t.co/wenYUTq9yI

Don't know if we should 😆 or 😭. "Hey babe, let's chill, order takeout, and play a game with our menstrual products tonight. Maybe MaxiPad Jenga? Or Pick Up Tampons?"

[Stephanie H Convery @gingerandhoney]

"Menstrual products were classified as an excluded item in the “lifestyle related” day-to-day living costs category, which includes cigarettes and vapes, gambling, musical instruments, sports tickets, trampolines and gaming consoles."

First menstrual products and now "post menopausal females." If you want to keep up with US election trends, looks like you need to be reading Stained!!

[Stained Anthology Out Now! (Querencia Press) @AFlo2020]

Read about the "post menopausal female" in Kim Roberts's poem "Gravida 0, Para 0" in Stained!

The "whole purpose of the postmenopausal female" is to be the free babysitter grandma theory makes the rounds because scientists haven't figured out why cis women live so long after we “lose” the ability to reproduce. So here's my theory
