I stopped by the public library today and learned that they allow patrons to check out light boxes for sadness during the fall/winter months in Ohio.

More and more I am convinced that public libraries (and those who work there) are some of the best of us.

The @WHO said, “WHO calls for menstrual Health to be recognized, framed and addressed as a health and human rights issue, not a hygiene issue” (https://t.co/LeE1HNmcIb). We at DfG are excited for this recognition of menstrual health’s human and global importance.

Period Talks can be awkward but it's always better to be preprared! It keeps your daughter ready and ends the taboo as we talk more about #periods. Still want to know why you should have the #PeriodTalk today? Click here to know more

Disposable razors and cartridges are the biggest scam in human history and it’s not even close.

This is an interesting myth we heard through our research for our book!

The truth is, eating lemons actually doesn't reduce the length of your period 😀

I don’t know who needs to hear this but you’re allowed to talk about your period🩸

[Red Moon Gang | Period talk but make it inclusive. @redmoongang]

Here’s your reminder that it’s important for people of all genders to learn about periods, whether they have them or not, to help foster a shame-free environment for people who *do* menstruate 🩸

Did you know the average menstruating person spends 3,000 days on their period? That’s equivalent to 8+ years! We're on a mission to make sure #EveryGirlEverywherePeriod spends those 3,000 days chasing her dreams - no longer held back by the limitations of #periodpoverty.

Dr. Paul Farmer, a hero of mine, passed away this wkend. Learning from this amazing human inspired me to do the menstrual health & equity work that I do. May his work live on.
