It is wild to me that we have been socialized to be like, "yeah you're bleeding vaginally and it's causing cascading issues throughout your body but there is literally no excuse for you to NOT come into the office, and frankly it's weird that you asked"
truly sad the way adulthood kills all your hobbies. i’m lucky if i read 5 books a year. too tired to play guitar. too tired to cook beautiful meals.

We can’t go to the bank.
Can’t go to work, to the grocery store, to the airport, to our places of worship, to a farmer’s market, a concert, a nightclub, a dance hall, a movie or a doctor’s office.
Our kids can’t go to a parade, to the mall or to school.
You can’t ring the wrong doorbell, pull down the wrong driveway or accidentally hop in the wrong car, without fear of being shot.
Shot and killed.
In a nation with more guns than people, this has become our reality.
But it is not normal.
And it sure as shit is not ok.
