Cheers to those 3,500 days of our lives that we bleed!

 

In honor of the upcoming new moon on Thursday, here is a little love from Teal Swan.

And in honor of all the women that have this magic energy inside us.

We have it, so let’s tap it and lets make miracles with our blood!

Much love,

Mensa

Joyful Heart Foundation, launched a new national PSA campaign, Shelved,  yesterday to raise awareness about the untested rape kit backlog and engage people in helping solve this problem. They “are seeking to activate grassroots support for our work in state capitols around the country to change the way rape kits are handled, expand survivors’ rights, and ensure every single kit is tested. Every single kit, in every state.”

Mushpa + Mensa has written about Joyful Heart in a previous entry entitle, No More Boys Will Be Boys. Please go check it out to learn more about how they are helping to end rape kits backlog and how you can help as well.

By supporting us we have been able to support them and for that we thank you!

stevie_christine“When you grow up as a girl, the world tells you the things that you are supposed to be: emotional, loving, beautiful, wanted. And then when you are those things, the world tells you they are inferior: illogical, weak, vain, empty. The world teaches you that the way you exist in it is disgusting — you watch boys cringe backward in your dorm room when you talk about your period, blue water pretending to be blood in a maxi pad commercial. It is little things, and it is constant. In a food court in a mall, after you go to the gynecologist for the first time, you and your friend talk about how much it hurts, and over her shoulder you watch two boys your age turn to look at you and wrinkle their noses: the reality of your life is impolite to talk about. The world says that you don’t have a right to the space you occupy, any place with men in it is not yours, you and your body exist only as far as what men want to do with it. At fifteen, you find fifteen-year-old boys you have never met somehow believe you should bend your body to their will. At almost thirty, you find fifteen-year-old boys you have never met still somehow believe you should bend your body to their will. They are children. They are children.“

—Stevie Nicks

A little Stevie knowledge never hurt anyone.

Apparently smoke made us follow you anywhere.

But did you flip through this decade’s magazines? Or even last month’s magazine?…..

Progress? Not so much…

post it controversial misogynistic ad

What thing did you need to remember? Or maybe just a picture to remind you…

car and sex controversial misogynistic ad

Or just simple and blunt in your face?

gang rape controversial misogynistic ad

The pictures speak for themselves.

This is only a reminder, because we should already notice.

 Because it still exists.

This is a reminder, to remember that 1950 was just yesterday, and that we are still drinking the kool-aid today…

 By the way, did you pick last-moths Cosmo? Some great tips!
