Air rights in America are 500ft above the tallest building in urban areas. Below that is considered the property of the owner. The police are effectively on their property without a warrant. Shoot them down and file a lawsuit immediately

Rebloging for the legal solution to a problem that has only been adressed physically until now.

I switched to dye free fancy cotton pads, after years of having periods so fucking bad I would sometimes faint, and now i just get like. regular cramps occasionally, they’re not even that bad anymore.

i switched back to these after using fancy organic cotton pads during my most recent period & they caused PROBLEMS out of the blue - 100% confirmed, these are not good to use

EXPLAINS ALOT. WOULDVE BEEN NICE TO KNOW AWHILE AGO. COOOOOOL.

Plus, there’s a study that showed that vagina are highly vascular so, basically, every chemical you put down there is absorbed by your body real fast and really well. In short, ditch tampon too.

TAMPONS are dangerous frequently the direct cause of TSS  TOXIC SHOCK SYNDROME

Yeah, reusable pads were one of my first major eco-friendly changes but my body has been way happier that way. They are infinitely more comfortable and effective, and I just throw them in my washing machine on the hand wash + extra rinse and hang dry. I can’t say being on your period is ever pleasant, but it’s way better than before - ESPECIALLY in situations where you can’t change as often - and I don’t feel like the harbinger of the end of the world when I look at my restroom trash can anymore :)

I always buy generic brands but wasnt “always” the ones who were sending fucked up pads to women in africa just a few years ago too???? Fuck always brand.

Could the fact that i use Always brand be the reason i get such bad cramps?? I must test this theory…

Also, pads can take up to 800 years to decompose. Yikes.

Cariona pads (link above) are AWESOME. Don’t knock it til you try it - I’ll never go back to always pads. My period is, like, manageable, for the first time in my life. It is no longer a struggle with excruciating cramps, heavy bleeding, leakage, and looooong periods, but like, mild to medium cramps, and I HAVE A CYCLE AGAIN for the first time in years. Try it. The upfront cost is daunting, I understand, because I was worried I wouldn’t like them, but I’m SO GLAD I got them. Just toss them in bottom of your shower when you take them off, shower as usual, and then squeeze them out. That basically rinses them for you, and then they’re all set for the washer and dryer. You’ll thank yourself later; give it a try.

Why isn’t anyone talking about how cute the Cariona pads are? They look adorable tbh

Cariona pads are amazing and they are SO cute. Like @maybeitsfinallytime was saying, they’re really easy to rinse out, and I usually hang them over my shower rod to dry so I can reuse them during the cycle, then give them a proper wash in hot water with a little sanitizing detergent afterwards.

Here’s to trying some. I even bought the animal crossing variety! Maybe I’ll never worry about running out of pads again? Who knows? I’ll update when I’ve tried them.

Menstrual cups are amazing too, safe silicone cups that (on regular days) don't need to be emptied for like up to 12 hours. They're fantastic. So if you're a tampon person it's a good alternative. I tried to use a tampon after years of using a cup and was immediately itchy, uncomfortable and just generally sick feeling. Got a new cup and everything was okay again.

“traditional values” should mean like…teaching kids which local forest mushrooms are edible, not that the lady next door is going to hell for having a cool girlfriend

I deserve to live in a world where “traditional values” means teaching kids to imitate birdsongs not bigotry

According to Google Maps, that point is in the middle of a small lake.

So we’ll do it in January when it’s frozen.

there’s so much beauty in the world.

I hope you’re never hired anywhere

I hope you get the job of your fuckin dreams.

#oh this place is HAUNTED haunted

Americans and their lockers will never understand the absolute shit that was bringing your books and sometimes dictionaries and all of your school supplies (art supplies PE clothes and whatever your school required) all on your back every single day and slowly transforming into the hunchback of notre dame in the span of five (or more in my case) years

Op thinks americans have more then 3 minutes to get to the other side of the school for class.

What universe did you live in my teacher told me to carry all my binders with me because I would be late for class if I went to my locker

“You guys have lockers?!?”

There were lockers at my school but you needed a medical reason to use them and the rest were locked because school shootings.

Reverse socks

This is the only post I ever want to look at ever again

This person: *takes photo of moon surrounded by clouds* Ah yes, I know exactly which mid-19th century painting of a biblical winged nude beefcake this reminds me of

What food group is honey what the fuck is this stuff

Apparently its categorized as raw meat by the FDA, which is cursed information if I’ve ever seen it.

WHAT

I wonder if this is due to tax reasons (why tomatoes are taxonomically fruit, but legally vegetable) or religious reasons (why beavers are considered fish, for purposes of Lent).

IIRC hippos are also catholically fish.

You know what, if you can take down a hippo you deserve to eat it during lent
