Saw this on Essence Magazine’s Snapchat and thought it would be helpful💕

Yeah seriously, sex education never told me any of this in school. Little me was panicked seeing the dark coloured bits and i had no clue that’s just the normal colour blood goes when its clotted or dried.

You may also see what look kinda like stringy clots but turn out to be a thin, membraney substance on close inspection. That’s the endometrium, the internal lining of your uterus. It’s the reason for all this stuff- your body is shedding the internal lining to get rid of any unfertilized eggs, or any eggs that were fertilized but failed to embed properly in the uterine wall. It’s weird-looking, but normal. 

Also, massive amounts of blood (soaking through pads/tampons) isn’t always normal and may indicate that something is wrong. If you’re in pain beyond a minor ache, something is DEFINITELY wrong, even if it’s every time. There are a lot of extremely under-discussed things that can make your cycle worse, from ovarian cysts to endometriosis, and all of them are either curable or treatable. Some can even be diagnosed with just an ultrasound, no pelvic exam. See a doctor!

Donald Trump is exactly the kind of person that Jesus would have thrown out of the temple and beaten with a stick, and the fact that so many self-identified Christians want to put him in office tells you pretty everything wrong with white American Christianity. 

Because Jesus had authority at temples and beat people.

I 100% can’t tell if you’re joking here but he actually did chase people out of a temple at least once for using religion for their own selfish gains, complete with literal table flipping and improvised whips

So really it’s not that he would have trump thrown out as much as he would storm in and accuse him of turning his father’s house into a den of thieves before upending a table on his head

Dude, Jesus not only chased them out, he broke stuff they were selling, let loose all of their animals, and fucking flipped all the money-changing tables.

Jesus 100% would have been chasing Trump out with a table leg.

Canon Jesus 10000% better than fanon Jesus

Canon Jesus did some very weird shit. Like, just before throwing the market out of the temple, he stole a donkey, then cursed a fig tree because it didn’t have any fruit on it. The next day, or possibly immediately, everyone was amazed that the fig tree he had cursed was withered. He must’ve been in a fuckin weird mood. Going through a Dark Period. The Chaotic Mage of Light losing his shit just a little bit.

“So, what the fuck was that, Jesus?” someone asked as they’re all looking at the horribly withered corpse of the poor cursed tree.

“The power of prayer,” Jesus said absently.

“… wait, is cursing literally a form of prayer? Because some Wiccans are going to be really upset about that, like, they have a whole threefold law thing, is this… okay?”

“Listen,” said Jesus, “If I tell a mountain to get back in the sea? The mountain will get in the fucking sea. Do you want me to tell you to get in the sea?”

And they were all like, “Good demo, Jesus. Good lesson.”

Meanwhile, he was having the aforementioned public brawl in the temple.

Just keep that in mind during this election cycle – viable answers for What Would Jesus Do include flipping tables, stealing animals and striking down shrubbery with magic, all in one week.

Before Holy Week in the church calendar comes the lesser-known festival of Christ Doesn’t Give A Fuck Week

I now have a mental image of Jesus as Negan from the walking dead, dolling out justice on religious heathens with a table leg studded with nails.

The fig tree incident happened because he was hungry and couldn’t find any fruit on it. Anyone who’s experienced low blood sugar can relate to that tantrum.

Jesus was hangry.

I believe this is my favorite post ever.

My favorite part of the “flipping tables at the temple” story is that before any of that went down, Jesus went out and wove his own whip with which to drive these people out.

I like to imagine him being just so angry, muttering under his breath while he braided together the scourge.

These mofos come into MY Father’s house…

Re: Dogs and PTSD; The fact people have the gumption to tell you, A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL who spent HOURS studying this exact thing (it’s required you take animal psych!), you’re wrong is incredibly infuriating. I commend you for being calm under fire and it’s exactly why I will never become a veterinarian myself. People who act like they know everything because they asked Dr. Google about it and read an article about mice being used in ptsd-LIKE treatments really just get my goat.

drferox:

The frustrating part is people not reading or ignoring the previous responses. Disagreement is fine, science wouldn’t advance without it, but name calling is not.

If someone comes up with a set of diagnostic criteria for canine PTSD to differentiate it from other behaviours (generalised anxiety, increased reactivity, poor socialisation, misdirected aggression, learned fear responses, etc) then maybe the science will change. But if it’s dependent on an MRI, for example, I still can’t say a dog had PTSD without that MRI.

And it’s not discounting a dog’s ability to think or feel or experience the world. It’s just that I don’t have any access to what is going on inside the brain, only the behaviours that are shown, so that is what I have to label.

nintendogamegirl:

let’s be real here girls. men who sincerely think that women are just confusing and don’t make sense have the emotional capacity and listening skills of a singular unsalted peanut and that’s the gospel truth

Hey, now that’s just unfair!

Some of them have the emotional capacity and listening skills of two unsalted peanuts. 

question. when matrix megs is in trapped in spike’s brain, how does he deal with human food and spike’s dysphoria and social life?

agatharights:

Poorly.

Well, it’s not all bad. What is initially a confusing and jarring mass of meaningless information to Megatron quickly becomes actual sensory information, and by the end of the month he spends kickin’ back in Spike’s brain they’ve figured out how to work together. I mean, it’s not like they have a choice otherwise.

Fortunately, Megatron mostly gets to sit back and kind of just…observe, but the experience is still a shaking one for him (and while he and Spike still absolutely hate each other afterwards they do understand each other a lot better).

Food? Food is horrible and humans are bad at digesting things. Megatron, of course, can also like…eat and digest stuff like rocks and mineral deposits but Spike’s need for food and tendency to eat, well, like a teenager? He isn’t a fan. He does enjoy the experience a bit more after a while because he is experiencing it through Spike’s body- and humans usually enjoy eating. His worst experience with food is either when he endures Spike eating cheese pizza despite being lactose intolerant (”IT’S WORTH IT” “WE ARE IN SO MUCH PAIN YOU FOOL”) or when he’s in control of Spike’s body and in a desperate bid for “fuel” as Spike is growing exhausted he drinks most of a pot of coffee.

(And subsequently burns down a MECH warehouse it’s fine don’t worry about it)

Spike’s dysphoria is a source of great discomfort and curiosity to him in turn, and part of their mutual….not really respect but their mutually assuring boundaries between each other is that when Megatron complains about being in Spike’s body? Spike complains right back. Megatron might not understand sex/gender fully by any means, but bodily dysphoria isn’t unheard of among Cybertronians, and if nothing else Megatron’s insistence that one’s body is absolutely meant to be shaped to the form that makes it’s holder most comfortable is very reassuring to Spike.

And Spike’s social life?

Megatron’s pretty sure they’re being attacked or having some manner of heart failure when they see another student Spike has a crush on and his heartrate s o a r s. THERe’S a lOt of ADREnalINE GOING ON WhaT IS HapPENING?!

“Sir, I can has fish?? Thank you, kind Sir!”

Translation:

[weasel? comes up to a fisherman]

Fisherman: Friend, what do you want? [weasel sniffs at a closed bucket with fish] Hungry for some fish, aren’t you? Maybe I should give you a fishing pole? Eager beaver. Let me open it. [weasel is busy digging under the bucket. fisherman gently pokes it] Hey, there is a lid up here. Come on, pick any you want. [weasel grabs a fish and runs away] Hey, no “thank you”? Well, you’re welcome. 

This translation is great, but I think you all need to know that the idiom that this person translated to “eager beaver”, if translated literally word-for-word, becomes “businesslike sausage”

Thank you for your attention.

What would you say is the biggest difference between caring for a horned frog and caring for a pixie frog?

toadschooled:

I’ve never had a pixie so I can’t say for certain! From what I’ve read I think they can both be decent beginner frogs if you do your research, and you want to keep in mind that pixie frogs, especially male pixie frogs, get enormous and need as much space as you can give them. Pacs get nice and chubby and don’t require as much space so they can be a good alternative. Any thoughts @bode-acious-boi?

I’ve done some research on both, but never kept them.

From what I’ve read, toadschooled is right. The only significant difference is size- size of frog, size of enclosure, and size of food. 

Also, pixies are more likely to bite, and have actual teeth. Neither is great for handling, but pixies are worse. Don’t let one bite you.
