Over the Jubilee weekend, we will of course be posting royal fanny facts, rumours, myths and art, and we'll start with a story that's true: Princess Marie Bonaparte's (AKA Princess George of Greece and Denmark) research on orgasm and the clitoris.
Today is #WorldMenstrualHygieneDay2022 But there is nothing unhygienic about menstruation. The first step towards breaking period stigma would be to remove the word ‘hygiene’ from it and talk about menstrual health and period poverty instead.
I asked what the WORST thing that could happen if we canceled student loans and all I got was a bunch of people that would essentially “feel upset” because they paid theirs
@DietCoke_Esq People need to understand the world has changed. My entire education, including a professional degree, cost about the same as a new Volkswagen. Now an education costs as much as a house and student loans are a predatory lending scheme.
"why are food prices so high"
UNFI (the nation's largest grocery distributor) just reported its highest sales ever, "driven primarily by inflation."
Its profit is up 11.9% in the last year.
Every stop along the supply chain, corporate greed has been rebranded as "inflation."
Here's a fact you won't hear on Fox News today. Exxon, Chevron, and Conoco made $46 billion in profit in 2021. Now they're using 40% of those profits for stock buybacks. Big Oil is raking it in, raising prices, and taking advantage of the war in Ukraine to push for more drilling.
UPDATE: The Travis County District Court has GRANTED a temporary restraining order to BLOCK the state from investigating the parents of a trans teenager for providing essential, life-saving health care or taking any action against the mandatory reporter in our case.
What's happening in Texas will lead to higher rates of abuse, harassment, and ultimately suicides of trans children. Greg Abbott is attempting to completely erase trans children from the public square, and trans kids will die because of it. Those are the stakes here.
Tucker Carlson just said "it’s an awful thing" that people are saying he supported Russia and wondered, "Why are they saying it? It doesn’t make sense."
Felt like a good time to combine these clips from @Acyn from the past few weeks. Never forget it.
A large consignment of period products being donated to a collection for the people of Ukraine this morning. Thanks to Granada FC for contributing to this donation. Huge thanks to @AmeliaFOB and everyone involved in organising this collection #standwithukraine
Check out our group's latest work on the role of CAMP factor in GBS colonization! TL;DR: We found no role and CAMP factor involvement in GBS-host interactions remains a 70+ year mystery. @mally_mb@Vicki_Mercado1@Hephzi_N@Jacob_Zulk@BCMFromtheLabs https://t.co/RDnYJinQUZ
Period poverty is an issue that affects millions across the globe. Here is a map of which countries & regions are doing their part by creating free access to essential menstrual products to their communities. We hope to see Texas outlined on this map in the not so distant future!
