To be clear, Meghan rented the womb and body of another woman, then removed the baby she had carried and grown for 40 weeks, went through hours of labour, delivery and now will be the one left dealing with postpartum alone.
And what does Meghan do? Poses with the minutes old baby girl who still has a layer of vernix, pretending that SHE was the one who just brought this life into the world.
Handmaid’s Tale was a warning, not an instruction manual.

If you thought period diarrhoea was the end of the plot, surprise. The replies made it clear this isn’t a single symptom problem. It’s a whole anthology of side effects that people have been quietly enduring because women’s pain has a long history of being waved away. The sheer number of “omg this happens to me” responses tells you everything you need to know about how under-discussed this is. Medical misogyny is real, and it has been ignoring women’s health for decades. That silence is cracking now.
Here’s what women actually reported, in their own bodies, over and over again.
Severe lower back pain that many called the worst part of their period, not cramps. Not discomfort. One person described it as “someone actively using an axe to break my waist,” and an unsettling number of people immediately agreed.
Debilitating migraines or severe headaches, often referred to as “period migraines,” bad enough to stop work, cancel plans, and flatten entire days.
Repeated or uncontrollable nausea and vomiting, sometimes paired with cold sweats or sharp, stabbing pain, and in many cases serious enough to require ER visits or hospitalisation.
Low-grade or noticeable fevers during periods, something many were told was unrelated despite it happening every single cycle.
Cramps that refuse to stay confined to the uterus. Abdominal pain spreading into the legs and thighs, and the infamous “butthole” or rectal cramps that create constant urgency. These are especially common and especially brutal for people with endometriosis.
Bladder symptoms that show up on cue. Frequent or urgent urination, sometimes difficulty holding it, sometimes feeling like a UTI that conveniently disappears once the period ends.
Gut issues playing both sides. While some get diarrhoea, others experience constipation instead, often before their period. Add bloating and excessive gas for the full digestive chaos package.
Recurring yeast infections or itchiness just before periods, perhaps thanks to hormonal shifts that love to destabilise vaginal flora at the worst possible moment.
And then the general flare-up mode. Heavier bleeding, hormonal acne, extreme fatigue, and mood symptoms intensifying, with everything worsening if you already live with conditions like endometriosis, IBS, or hypermobility.
A common thread in the replies wasn’t just pain. It was relief. “I thought I was cursed” “I thought it was just me”. Closely followed by anger at years of being dismissed, minimised, or told this was normal without anyone explaining why or offering help.
These symptoms line up with what we already know about prostaglandins, hormonal shifts, inflammation, and the gut–brain–uterus connection. What they don’t line up with is how little space they get in medical conversations.
Like I said before, it is common. It’s real. And it’s been under-researched for far too long. If your symptoms are severe, worsening, or spilling beyond your period, seeing a doctor matters. And may you find one who listens, believes you, and treats your pain like it’s worth understanding, because it is.
Un macroestudio de la Universidad de Cambridge, publicado en Nature con más de 4.000 escáneres cerebrales de personas entre 0 y 90 años, ha descubierto que el cerebro no madura en línea recta, sino en cinco grandes fases separadas por cuatro puntos de inflexión topológicos: a los 9 años, a los 32, a los 66 y a los 83 años.
Lo sorprendente del estudio es que la etapa que llama "adolescencia cerebral" no termina a los 18 ni a los 25, sino alrededor de los 32, que es cuando la red neuronal humana alcanza su máxima eficiencia y capacidad de integración. A partir de ahí, comienza una larga fase adulta de estabilidad con el cerebro a pleno rendimiento hasta aproximadamente los 66 años, cuando empieza el envejecimiento.

Asi es como el rentismo está destrozando vidas y ciudades, sin que el Gobierno haga nada.

Os cuento qué pasó ayer con una foto de la España de los 50, la reacción de tuiter ultraderecha, y la aparición "estelar" (más bien estrellada) de @grok.
Un hilo sobre los peligros de fiarse de la IA y no hacer comprobaciones.

Cuanta falta hace esta juventud que habla tan claro.
Tú no eres una propietaria, tú eres una rentista, que te aprovechas de las necesidades de la gente, sobre todo, joven.

mamma mia! is such a fascinating paradox… italian phrase as its name, it takes place in greece. the songs are from a swedish band. british supporting cast, living around greek people, and the main characters have american accents. no one knows how to sing, but everyone is drunk
Hoy la Policía de Com. Valenciana ha realizado 200 DETENCIONES de muertos de hambre que cogían una botella de agua de cualquier Mercadona destrozado para darle de beber a sus hijos.
Cada detención impllica POR LO MENOS a 4 agentes.
Eso son 800 agentes.
