To me I see a person simply going about their daily business.. yet the period looks like it is literally saying f@ck yoo.
Don't ever let that stop you. And if a person sees u leaked and complains. IT's on them not you. They the stupid one. #period. #endperiodshame
@angel_0f_deathx@feminemi1y My eldest just turned 9 and we now have pads and period undies at both mine and her mom’s place, and have had the conversation about it.
Normal bodily functions, especially those that happen to children should never be taboo.
@feminemi1y Helping to satisfy their curiosity is one of thee very best things about parenting, IMO.
Kids are sponges, and I'm gonna give mine all the water that they wanna soak up. Denying them knowledge or facts will only come back to bite you.

@feminemi1y Ignoring the hyperbole, why wouldn't you tell an inquiring child what meth is? And since when are pads and tampons the exclusive domain of adults? I mean wtf is puberty then? What a moonfruit!
@angel_0f_deathx Facts. I've never understood why a lot of men are so weird about period talk. Why wouldn't you want to know more and understand how to help and support people in your life? 🤷♂️
Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. is excellent. Captures that awkward part of growing up in your pre-teens with extreme care and empathy but also that feeling of wanting to set yourself up for adulthood even way ahead of time.
Abby Ryder Fortson is a star in the making.
#itsmemargaret was beyond delightful, genuinely a teen movie classic-in-the-making. Such a faithful adaptation of the classic novel, the cast are wonderful. The movie I wish I'd had when I was 12!
If you lived in the era of Kurt Loder and Tabitha Soren @ MTV News, you have lived. So many huge moments in pop culture: Kurt Cobain, Biggie, and 2Pac passings, Courtney Love crashing Madonna’s interview, etc.
This upsetting advert from Age UK is also a warning to never ever vote Conservative. They did this.
When they get booted out, their legacy will be a destroyed country and a population reeling from 15 years of abject fucking misery. They’re utter scum.
There’s a whole section on testosterone’s health benefits for women in here: energy, mental sharpness, bone and muscle building and libido. Testosterone’s not just for boys - it’s our hormone too and the one we naturally make most of.
@Esqueer_ Why do republicans feel the need to so closely monitor things such as little girls getting their periods?
Why do they make actual laws to prohibit them from talking about it?
Where’s the harm they see?
Remember, it is ok! It’s your period. It’s ALSO ok to be afraid of what’s happening at first—just like this girl from Laos was when she started menstruating.

No matter where you may be in your journey now, chances are puberty was a confusing time. Having resources made from research with real girls helps us capture REAL experiences. We love the practical advice and Q&As, and that it’s made specifically or girls ages 9-14!
Just getting started up, will be sharing information around stigma attached to periods, educating all genders around certain aspects of periods & raising awareness around the issue of period poverty which is a basic human right.
A woman should have the freedom to make her own reproductive health decisions, not politicians. Period. It’s time to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act.
