I was searching for an article on here just now and came across this utterly delightful article in the search results: I Want To Go There: The Vintage Vibrator Museum Even more tickling, since the search terms had nothing to do with the article. Love the way P-mag search thinks.
So, someone I know posted this on facebook, and I rather enjoyed it. I thought some of you all might as well.
Boys with babies and women with knives: Rethinking gender assumptionist power structures
I have only been up for 20 minutes and I am already feeling rather contrary about everything.
This can only bode well.
I look great today. My dad complimented it by saying I should take care of not being kidnapped and put in a harem. Oh, fathers.
Panicking over family crap. Opened my bottle of Vidal and Oh goodness This is amazing wine.
A pox on male entitlement. Â Because of reasons.
End rant. Â Good night.
Seconded. Sleep tight.
I have some CHOICE words for Aunt Flo! This is the first time in all my life that I have felt dizzy during one of her monthly visits! My hands and legs have been shaking and I feel like there’s a weight on my shoulders and back! And what’s worse, I don’t even want anything sweet to distract me. What’s the world coming to?!
I prescribe Advil, a heating pad, and chamomile tea.
I usually attribute the feeling weak/shaky part of my period to a serious dip in blood iron. Raisins and spinach are both good sources, also some red meat if you’re not veggie. Periods are also the only time I drink soda (and still not a lot), which I think also helps. That could be entirely placebo, though.
Feel better! Also this:
I second Twiddle. And maybe get a blood test to check your iron levels in the next few weeks. Hope you feel better soon!
So a few weeks ago I was asking about treadmills, and I finally bought one and set it up about a week ago. I’m not gonna lie, I was a bit skeptical of dropping that kind of change on something I can do for free on any street, but I’m super glad I did. If I can continue this regular workout routine for 53 more days, I will have officially unfucked my couch potato-ness. :)
Amy Poehler and Will Arnett are getting a divorce and this makes me believe that love is dead. If they can’t make it, NO ONE CAN.
Also, for all you Golden Girls fans who also happen to be cross stitchers (or know someone who can), here is a Golden Girls cross stitch pattern. It’s $5 but that’s only $1.25 per Golden Girl! How did I find this? Because I’ve literally been glued to Pinterest and Etsy the past few days for some unknown reason (aka I’m in a funk) and this was a result of that. This was also a result of that:
Thanks for the cross titch pattern! :D Sorry you’ve been in a funk.
Aww yeah I do believe that cross-stitch pattern will now become my x-mas gifts to the bffs this year.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
