@russenoire2
moving to a new tumblr blog.
just for the privilege of being able to participate fully on tumblr under russenoire.tumblr.com without outing my private content.
i wish i’d been aware of the stupid limitations on secondary blogs before restarting this one. you can find me @russenoire instead. please update your links!
i will be migrating my posts over too. slowly. because tumblr loves to make shit hard.

ways to say ‘seems like’ or ‘-ish’ in japanese.
in the order in which i learned them. these are highly productive suffixes, in that they can be attached to many, many nouns/adjectives/adverbs to make new adjectives.
NOTE: i use apostrophes to compensate for some of the limitations of rōmaji, as it doesn’t reliably indicate which vowels are devoiced. if you see an ‘ in any of my transliterations, it stands in for an i or u sound that gets flattened (but still pronounced!) in speech.
~臭い（くさい, k’sai）
literally ‘smells like’. this particular kanji (臭, nioi) refers to unpleasant smells. i’m not sure if the pleasantly-scented analogue kanji 匂 (also read nioi) can be used in the same way.
なんかさっきから聞いてると胡散臭いな… nanka sakk' kara kiiteru to usank’sai na... i have been listening to the crap coming out of [your] mouth for a while [and] it smells fishy...
the japanese language conveys emotional content in some very fascinating ways. here’s one.

i learned that in August 2014 Women’s Voices for the Earth commissioned testing of four types of Always menstrual pads, manufactured by Procter & Gamble. The certified laboratory STAT Analysis Corporation analyzed the products for volatile organic compound.
“The results of the testing indicate that both scented and unscented Always pads emit toxic chemicals, including chemicals identified by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services National Toxicology Program, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, and the State of California Environmental Protection Agency as carcinogens, and reproductive and developmental toxins. None of these chemicals are disclosed on the product by the manufacturer.” (x)
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
been using these reusable menstrual pads since november 2019 and im never going back to these commercial pads. commercial pads like these always gives me skin rashes which is so annoying. switch to reusable i swear you’ll not only be period-ready but also rashes-free!
psa they also have a starter pack in case you want to switch and you dont know what to get and an xl size for plus sized women!
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.
PSA!!!
they now have a budget-friendly trial pack so you no longer have to worry which pad fits best for you. you can just buy the pack to get one pad of each size!!
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.
For people who menstruate 🩸….
UPDATE: I just ordered the trial pack. I personally have a lot of problems with excruciating cramps my cycle being consistent, especially in recent months after losing weight and medications and such. Hopefully these work well/help because I always feel guilty about the amount of waste normal pads create
Due to when the reusable pads I ordered arrived I ended up switching literally in the middle of my last period and the difference was instant, I’ve gotten really bad cramps for as long as I can remember and still did the first half this time around but I didn’t cramp at all wearing the reusable pads. I highly recommend the switch.
I bought the cariona pads too and oh my gosh. The difference. I went from painful cramps and headaches to just mild cramps for like a day. They are so easy to use and so comfortable.
Been saying this for years and people thought I was crazy, it definitely affects us women and we should have a say in how these things are manufactured.
hi these are the reusable pads i use and while they do slide around a little bit, i haven’t once gotten throbbing sensitive skin around my vulva or shooting pains down my legs since using them. i used to think that was a part of having my period but now i’m convinced it was from the pads and tampons i was using. not to mention i save tons of money on disposables.
I’m definately going to try and save up for some of the reusable pads. My cramps have been terrible all my life and all I’ve ever used is always pads so that could very well be the reason for my bad cramps :/
y'all, there are other options?
try silicone cups. they changed my life forever.
they didn't make my periods less awful/painful/legit sickening, but they did save me a shit ton of money and give me fertilizer for my plants.
if your periods are this bad, you may have endometriosis. see your doctor and don’t let up until they take you seriously.

#todayilearned why english language learners are always apologizing for their 'bad english'. it's because americans can be really cruel to those who don't speak it.
everyone says kana are way easier to learn than kanji and I'm over here like
a good way to spend a saturday.
i found out that anki can read javascript on note templates! this is dangerous
so i spent a few hours figuring out jQuery and writing a script to scale the font size of words/kanji on my flashcards according to the number of characters each entry contains.
it's not perfect, as in some words or expressions contain half-width characters and this code still treats them like full-width ones, but for now, it's good.
If you look around over the last week there are a number of highly sophisticated Republican voices arguing that Donald Trump is the sort of demagogue and potential strongman our political system was designed to prevent from gaining power in our country. They are portentous and ominous words and true in many respects. But they would be far more credible if so many Republicans - not necessarily the same writers, but countless formal and informal spokespersons including numerous high-ranking elected officials - hadn’t spent the last seven years ranting that the temperamentally cautious and cerebral Barack Obama was a ‘dictator’ who was trampling the constitution.
Trumpism is the product of many things. But a key one of them, perhaps the key enabling one, is years of originating and pandering to increasingly apocalyptic and hyperbolic conspiracy theories, fantasies and fever dreams which put middle aged white men up against the metaphorical wall with a thug, foreign, black nationalist, anti-colonialist Barack Obama shaking them down for their money, their liberty, their women and even their lawn furniture.
I keep reading that “the GOP will have to pay” for what it’s done, and that its thought leaders – ha ha “thought leaders” – will face a reckoning, because they’ve allowed the rise of Trump, and that the GOP will be destroyed by this election.
Really? I doubt it. People like Bill Kristol and Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld and John McCain and all of those people who have been in the vanguard of every disastrous decision the GOP has made since 1970 have never faced a single reckoning or even mild rebuke from anyone in 40 years. Why now? Because Trump traded their dog whistles for a bullhorn?
They invented the Iraq war, and have faced zero consequences. That’s got to be the electoral equivalent of Sandy Hook for gun policy in America. If that wasn’t going to do it, nothing will.
