We all know what erectile dysfunction is but literally no one is ever taught what vaginismus is and it can cause people to feel extremely lost, broken, and cause people to take their own lives.
Raise. Awareness.
For the uninformed, vaginismus is when the vagina painfully tightens and spasms when faced with pressure, usually from anything trying to insert into the vagina. It’s the reason I can’t wear tampons, and why many people can’t have vaginal sex without severe pain.
There’s not a lot of treatments, and there isn’t a single one that is for vaginismus exclusively – they’re all medications or treatments to treat symptoms, but not the causes. In fact, for a long time doctors waved off vaginismus as a purely psychological disorder in cis women.
Seriously, this is so unaddressed and uncared for in medical circles. Please spread awareness, even if all it’s for is to let those who have it but don’t have a name for it finally be able to understand what’s happening to their bodies.

watching all of trump’s cronies turning on each other would be hilarious if they weren’t supposed to be running the country right now. It’s kind of like overhearing a ridiculous slap fight in the cockpit of the airplane you’re in mid-flight
I would post about the latest thing but instead I’m just gonna reblog this every time
They suddenly had money, fridges, freezers, and access to a variety of foods – all things that hadn’t been widely available before. Suddenly people had access to things that were beyond the dreams of people just a 100 years prior.
Enter corporations willing to go “oh yeah, you know what’s great (now that you can afford it)? Cold beef soup, served in a glass. Drink up your beef!”
Early 40s/50s foods are something I’m very passionate about.
They had no concept of what flavors tasted good together so they tried everything. The biggest ideas that were latched on to were things like loafs with layers that compose your entire meal and the suspension of basically anything/everything in jello (jello actually helped food last longer, because the gelatin sheltered whatever ingredients were used from bacteria. So, naturally, you put a fish in it).
Also pineapple. It was harder to get before then so the sudden availability of it made people go nuts. Bananas too to a degree.
Welcome to the wild and wacky world of Aspic, otherwise known as meat jello.
jello history is a fucking trip
Hey @ both my group chats, look, my hairbrained rants about jello were not totally off the mark
That meat jello pic gave me a brain tumor.
I have a great aunt who used to bring ham in jello to every family reunion and then get offended because no one would eat it.
No, Aunt Ruby, we don’t hate you, we just hate your nasty fucking meat jello.
You do realize that like in the case of the Miracle Whip, the way it was both made and tasted in the ‘40′s and ‘50′s is totally different than it tastes now. I mean how it tasted in the ‘70′s when I was growing up is very different than it is now.
That “Ham Jello” doesn’t taste right today because you are using actual “Jello” or “Gelatin” that you buy at the store (plant of algae based). But the Original Recipe used rendered “Animal Collagen” as the Gelatin, something I can’t find at the store, and would need to make myself. (My Grandmother made that meat jello, with the proper gelatin, and it was delicious, but if you use the stuff you buy at the store today, it tastes like crap AND it doesn’t hold together very well either. The salt in the ham tends to make it come apart.)
I run into this issue with my wife all the time now. She remembers how foods tasted growing up, and she pulls out her mom’s recipe and can’t understand WHY it doesn’t taste the same, even though she is using the “Same” ingredients. I keep trying to explain to her that she isn’t using the same ingredients. “It calls for Shortening!” she says pointing at the recipe, and I look at her and ask…”Animal or Vegetable?” “There is only one type of shortening!” Sure enough, we go to the average grocer and she points to the tubs of Crisco smuggly, then points to the blocks of other brands, all of which are marked “Vegetable”. Then I point to the package of “Sno-Cap” which is Lard, or Animal Shortening. “That’s Lard, it isn’t used for baking!” she cries…
We have dumbed down our tastes to meet the mass produced standards of today. That has ruined really good foods of our pasts.
Agreed. Traditionally prepared gelatin dishes are an ENTIRELY different ballgame from modern jello products.
And GAWDDAMN BUT THERE IS ONLY ONE TYPE OF SHORTENING ACCEPTABLE IN PIE CRUST AND IT IS LARD GODDAMNIT.
My grandmother would rise from her grave and slap me upside the head if I got vegetable shortening anywhere near her pie crust recipe.
You think I’m joking but I would be on the receiving end of some Very Strong Words next time I went to change the flowers by her shrine.
I know that feel. Veg shortening isn’t right for baking IMHO, it has no taste and the consistency is weird.
It’s like replacing butter with margerine, you just can’t do that and expect it to taste right.

reblog this make cis people mad that im “ruining their childhood”
stable clone of him was a younger girl named danni
the series is literally about him keeping his identity a secret from his parents,believing that if they found out they’d stop loving him as their child and even kill him.
said identity is only known by his closest friends and others in the “community”.
After his college-age sister accidentally walks in on him altering his appearance and thereby learns his identity, she becomes clumsily obsessed with protecting him and being an ally.
Sam was able to disguise herself as him effortlessly.
I’ve been watching Guy’s Grocery Games, and so far, he’s:
Opened a lot of hard-to-open containers for contestants with small hands
Directly pointed out a good few items to winners playing the shop-for-money game at the end
Made innumerable helpful suggestions to contestants
Allowed everyone to go and get 1 extra item when one contestant forgot a vital item in a limited-time-to-shop challenge
Brought several contestants various important items that they couldn’t find while shopping
Been overall very nice to all the contestants during a kids-only episode
Twice now, allowed contestants to not be instantly eliminated when they had cut their finger at an unknown point and rendered all their food unsuitable to taste
And people seem to not like him for no other reason than because he’s kind of obnoxious sometimes.
Unless he’s done some terrible thing that I’m not aware of, he seems pretty cool.
