- Once a lunar month, your body starts doing things that even you don’t fully understand.
- You and your pack end up on the same schedule, one way or another. There’s this whole kinetic telepathy thing going on between you.
o Which would be really cool if the transformation itself didn’t hurt like a bitch and inconvenience you.
- Only you and those like you are capable of creating more of your kind.
- Your body gets super-hardcore, like, you can bleed for an entire week and survive, you get a really high pain tolerance, and sometimes medications don’t even have an effect on you.
- You get so. Very. Hungry.
- Certain substances make you crazy in unexpected ways.
- There’s a lot of inaccurate information about it on the Internet and in the media, which is occasionally funny, but mostly irritating.
- If you find yourself writhing on the floor and howling, that’s pretty much par for the course.
- People may mock or disparage you because of it. They also might chalk your decisions up to it, even when it’s entirely irrelevant. This makes you want to rip their heads off with your teeth no matter what time of the month it is.
o They are also likely to expect you to keep it a secret for their own peace of mind.
o Otherwise they’re probably going to call you a bitch.
- You feel a kinship with those who have undergone the same traumatic changes.
- There’s a strong physiological desire to have sex, but you feel like a fucking monster.
- Your emotions start manifesting externally. Scratching and biting may seem like perfectly understandable activities during this time.
- People might try to imply that you’re somehow inferior because of it, but that’s bullshit and we all know it.

where can I uninstall my period
i think if you download pregnancy it blocks it for a few months but then you get a really annoying loud pop up that doesn’t go away for 18 years
Have you tried turning it off and turning it back on again
did you try taking the battery out?
put it in rice overnight
There’s actually some third-party plug ins that can help with the problem without the issues associated with the pregnancy fix, but they do require constant maintenance andI’ve heard anecdotes of them messing with some systems.

okay, so humans either have a nook or a bulge, and once a month, for the nooked ones, they bleed to show that they are of mating capabilities.

you know what’s not fair
normally when people get debilitating stomach cramps and fevers, they stay home from work or school for a day or two
but then you get your period and you’re expected to pOWER THROUGH IT LIKE A WOMAN AND GET SHIT DONE ANYWAY BECAUSE YOU’RE NOT ALLOWED TO TAKE OFF EVERY MONTH EVEN AS THE FLESH IS TORN FROM YOUR UTERUS AND PURGED IN RIVERS OF BLOOD FROM YOUR VAGINA
why is that
preach
Also if you are regularly feverish and in too much pain to move and have no control over your emotions for pretty much any other reason ever people will tell you to get immediate medical attention, but when it’s menstrual symptoms you get told OH EVERYONE’S CYCLE IS DIFFERENT CRAMPS ARE NORMAL TAKE SOME MIDOL AND MOVE ON WITH YOUR LIFE
uh no DEBILITATING CRAMPS AND MOODSWINGS ARE NOT UNAVOIDABLE GO SEE A DOCTOR THERE ARE THINGS THEY CAN GIVE YOU TO MAKE IT LESS HIDEOUSLY UNPLEASANT TO BE A GIRLSHAPED PERSON OF CHILDBEARING AGE

A woman recently went to use a Kotex brand tampon and fortunately was a little clumsy getting it out of the packaging and discovered patches of mold growing all over the product that was seconds away from being inserted inside her. She wrote to the manufacturer and was horrified to discover that this is fairly common and received nothing more than a cookie cutter apology and some coupons to buy more of their products.
I urge anyone who uses this brand or other brands of tampons to pay closer attention when using or to perhaps consider switching to a different type of reusable product such as a Diva Cup or washable cloth liners. This is absolutely repulsive and although I no longer have periods, I felt I should inform my followers about this for their own health and safety.
WHAT.
I literally JUST put in a tampon without looking at it. wtf Kotex!!
Oh dear god.
eeewwwww. I’m really glad i don’t put in tampons without taking them out of the little plastic thingies (i had a bad experience once ok)
I really need to buy that Diva Cup
this is fucking ALARMING. I now use a diva cup (in as we speak, woop!) but, how many tampons have i used in the past? uuughhhhh. Please, please, be careful, menstruating folks.
OMG. Anyone who uses a tampon be advised! Much gratitude to my inner voice that told me to abort the tampon I once used after 10 minutes. Never used one again. How does this even happen though wow.
well if tampons didn’t already scare the shit outta me…
if i ever menstruate in the future…
i will never get this image out of my head omg
and this is why I like OB no applicator tampons.
Yup, this looks like one more reason to use no-applicator tampons (you know, besides that they produce less packaging waste, are smaller and more discreet, come in boxes of like a zillion…)

So I decided this morning that if after three months the birth control pills aren’t doing much about the facial hair like my doctor told me they might, they probably aren’t going to (they have nicely evened out my period, though, which is the primary reason I went on them: I’m menstruating on a predictable cycle for the first time in my life, which is such a blessing after almost a decade of second-guessing my body).
And although I’ve never particularly cared before, I kind of felt like doing something about the hair. So I shaved.
HOLY CRAP AND I THOUGHT SHAVING MY LEGS FELT SEXY. Full-beard-growing-types, you have been holding out on the rest of us. I am severely disappointed that no one has ever told me how good it feels to shave one’s throat and jawline.
