I use tampons regularly now and like them—I don’t find them uncomfortable and I prefer to see as little blood as possible. But I didn’t start using them until after I was already having penetrative sex. 🤷🏻‍♀️

And by "a little silly", I mean that just because the CDC doesn't want you to care about long-term health effects of acute SARS-CoV-2 infection, in a Welcome Back, Pre-Existing Conditions! world, your health insurance provider absolutely will care.

I really wonder what my cousin’s deal was bc I would NOT generally describe that branch of the family as hippie types, but who knows.

I definitely think that one of my early tampon experiences being OB (which my cousin used, and we were supposed to go swimming) is part of why I then did not even try for years. People didn’t come up with applicators solely bc they love plastic!

I literally just did not use them until I had put a whole dick in there. Which I guess just demonstrates that people can learn anything with the right motivation. 😂

A friend sent a YouTube video from Tampax that quite frankly sucks. Like, they don’t even have a plastic pelvis to demonstrate with and I know for a fact it would make things clearer than their “vulva puppet,” which provides no useful reference for where a person’s vagina is actually likely to BE

Yeah, I’m okay with actual coconut sometimes, very rarely with coconut flavoring. And even on the rare occasions I don’t mind it, it’s a CHOICE

Okay, I admit I probably should have predicted that coconut was a risk for a “tropical fruit” flavored seltzer, but otoh, there are THREE different fruits on the can, none of them coconut, & also I feel like coconut is generally a polarizing flavor? BECAUSE 90% OF THE TIME IT TASTES LIKE SUN SCREEN?

Project 2025 includes the call to “outlaw” porn. If you want to understand what they mean by that? Look to what these groups are already fighting “porn,” and their connections to anti-gender movements outside the US. I start that analysis here:

Like seriously, this is the party that resisted a grassroots recall of our nightmare Republican governor and then when it happened DESPITE THEIR RESISTANCE, the candidate conceded while people were still in line to vote. …Why no, I have not forgiven them! I probably never will!

Okay, I live in Wisconsin, and the state Democratic Party has gotten a lot BETTER over the last ten years (in part bc they had basically nowhere to go but up), but I CANNOT IMAGINE a serious person who knows literally anything about anything claiming that they’re a jewel of the national party.

Wisconsin Republicans went all in on voter suppression decades ago, allowing them to maintain a large majority in the legislature & strip the gov’s office of much of its power as soon as we got a Democrat back in it. We’re basically the trial run for every fash power grab the national party pulls.

Oh okay, I think my confusion was coming from the replies. I’ve enjoyed Extraordinary so far and that’s two seasons, but a) It’s British so only 8 eps per season b) It’s about super POWERS but kind of specifically not superHEROES so I don’t know if it counts

Pair that with a number of folks saying this has been an “industry secret” for decades, and it seems more like the people who most likely might have an inkling are very carefully NOT going on the record supporting him while they wait to see what happens.

I actually think it’s fairly telling that the only people I’ve seen arguing that the source invalidates the information are people who DON’T seem to work with him and thus probably don’t have much direct experience of his personal conduct.

They don’t know that, though, and if it does, he’s been a reliable money maker. If it doesn’t, they can just present it as “we were gathering information BEHIND THE SCENES before making a public statement/taking action” which is basically not a falsifiable claim

What this article leaves out is that if you hand your unlocked phone to a police officer, they can legally search it. Unless companies develop a method that allows you to show officers insurance cards and driver license without unlocking the rest of your phone, don't.

It tends to circulate more in the winter (not exclusively, ofc), so I’m not surprised if places with less winter have less of it.

Yeah, that’s why I think he must have been serving a crowd where this is the default, but… that’s not a lot of crowds. Does HE look very young? I can’t imagine you get to be an old bartender pulling this shit. Or maybe he’s from CA or CO? (Trying to think which states are Weirdest About Weight)

People (mostly young women) frequently order this to reduce calories per cocktail, but like, they order it as a “vodka soda with a splash of cranberry” or whatever. Someone who orders a “vodka cranberry” v obviously doesn’t want that!
