Reblogging because this is seriously a great product. It's eco-friendly and works fucking great. Also, once you realize exactly how much you have actually been spending on pads/tampons, and how much you are now not spending by using reusable pads...you will be both happy (saving money! yay!) and absolutely pissed (those greedy motherfucking companies demanding twenty goddamn dollars for a week of supplies!).
i learned that in August 2014 Women’s Voices for the Earth commissioned testing of four types of Always menstrual pads, manufactured by Procter & Gamble. The certified laboratory STAT Analysis Corporation analyzed the products for volatile organic compound.
“The results of the testing indicate that both scented and unscented Always pads emit toxic chemicals, including chemicals identified by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services National Toxicology Program, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, and the State of California Environmental Protection Agency as carcinogens, and reproductive and developmental toxins. None of these chemicals are disclosed on the product by the manufacturer.” (x)
Ohhhhhhhhh i have some RAGE against Normal People by Sally Rooney. Can I understand, intellectually, that there are legitimate reasons to like this book? Yes. Do I emotionally agree with any of them? ABSOLUTELY NOT. First off this book was impossible to read easily because of the lack of punctuation, what was up with that!! Beyond that the relationship between the two main characters was just bad and really imbalanced, and also I was not interested at all. Also the weak ass Marxist commentary??? Girl didn't even commit 🤣 And to top it all off, I read this for a bookclub for a college that I did all the precollege stuff for, and they DIDN'T EVEN LET ME IN!!!!!! Anyways fuck this book so much, enjoy my rant :)
I accept and appreciate your offering.
It's bullshit that they didn't let you in. Book clubs are supposed to bring people together, but some of them get so snobby.
This is the dawn of my Chloe Gong Era
Baldur's Gate 3 has me in its unrelenting grip. I am obsessed.
Especially with the problematic king himself, Enver Gortash.
I love him. I want him as a romance option for both Durge and Tav. I want my Durge to reunite with the lover she can't remember. I want Tav to drag that man kicking and screaming through his redemption arc.
Tavtash is definitely my preference out of the two. Because god forbid I just have a normal ship with an abundance of fic. No, of course not. My dumbass has to go running for a rare pair.
And on that note, I really need fic writers to remember that Durge is not Tav!! They are not the same. Durge can be evil or good. Tav can also be evil or good. But they are fundamentally different characters regardless of how you play or write them.
So, please, please please please stop using Tavtash tags for Durgetash. I keep getting so excited that there's finally another piece of Tavtash content, only to find that it's actually Durge.
I like Durge, and I like Durgetash, and I will still enjoy Durgetash content. But y'all are getting my hopes up and then crushing them. So please stop using Tavtash tags for Durgetash content.

Hate the Maximum Ride series I hate it. It had so much potential but James Patterson wouldn’t know consistency if it hit him in the face. Like the part where the gang went to Antartica? It felt like I had missed a book with how much had happened. And Izzy’s mom going from dead to actually being married and thinking he was dead? Whack. Within a couple of chapters too like. I could be remembering wrong but what kind of inconsistency was that?
I've never read this series, but because my brain is utterly broken, I have watched multiple hours long videos about it. And even then, with all that knowledge, having it all condensed down to it's most straightforward and coherent, I could in no way give you a cohesive plot summary. Like, I think they stop the apocalypse, stop the climate crisis, and then it doesn't matter because the apocalypse happens anyway? Maybe? I don't know.
I don't think even James Patterson knows.
I'm starting to think he's not even a real person. Just every now and then, a book appears in the world with that name on it. It never goes to an editor, no publishing house actually handles it, it's never even been to a printer. It just appears in bookstores and we as a society just don't question it
No stream tonight guys. Sorry. I just found out that one of my roommates scheduled an inspection for TOMORROW so I have to get the place as ready as I can. I should be back tomorrow though. Wish me luck
It’s insane to me that people still make fun of folks just for being in certain fandoms or liking certain things
Seriously your ‘liking things beyond the norm is cringe’ mentality isn’t going to end up boosting your self esteem in the end.
Your just gonna end up feeling shitty once you realize your a human being and enjoy things too
Like, I get making fun of people who enjoy things that are legit harmful. That’s valid, but being a dick to someone just for enjoying something that you don’t personally enjoy is so legit pathetic it hurts
We’re literally all trying to feel like we have a place in this world. We find people with common interests and enjoy their company while discussing those interests. It’s normal it’s healthy, who the fuck are you to judge someone for it
i think it's called the unwinding? it's a dystopia where the premise is that there was a civil war between pro-choice and pro-life groups in america(?) and they made the compromise that all pregnancies must be carried to term and kids must be raised for a certain amt of years, but then at a certain age, 13 i think it was, if the parents dont like the kid they can have them "unwound," which is that they will be meticulously surgically taken apart but all of their organs and skin and everything will still be alive? somehow? and ig they'll still have some level of consciousness? and like, anyone who needs an organ transplant or skin grafts or like, amputees who want a new arm or whatever get that body part from an unwound kid. and the book follows a runaway who was gonna be unwound and then also a kid who was tithed, so like his parents had him w the express purpose of donating him to the church for unwinding?? the premise is absolutely bonkers and the narrative of the book shifts constantly, it touches on a whole bunch of real-world politics without ever actually committing to any stance, and the whole thing reads like a wattpad original work in a really bad way. but somehow there's like a whole series and it's legit popular!! i dont get it at all
This sounds like some fundie subterfuge nonsense.
They love to do this. The YA dystopia boom brought us so many books like this. Gentle Tyranny is another one, it's all about how feminism is evil.
They think that they can put a secular mask on and convert people without them realizing it. But they're really really bad at it. Like, who else other than fundies would even come up with this idea??
Was the writer a blonde white woman? I don't want this book in my search history, but I'm willing to bet I'm right
I've been thinking a lot about Constantine. The movie, not the show or comic, as I'm not really familiar with them.
Specifically, I keep thinking about the scene with him and Tilda Swindon, Gabriel, in the church near the start of the film. It's when the film first tells us that Constantine is doomed to go to Hell when he dies (since a large portion of this film is based on a misunderstanding of Catholic doctrine regarding suicide). They start talking about the necessity of faith, which Constantine argues he has. But Gabriel corrects him. Constantine doesn't have faith in God, he has knowledge of God, which are very different things.
And it makes me think of how a lot of evangelical Christians try to argue that there is proof that the Christian God exists. There are alleged miracles, people who have claimed to hear His voice, accounts of near death experiences. There's a whole subset of Christian fiction that involves atheists or people of other faiths literally meeting God and being told that Christianity is the way to go.
And this all just seems very antithetical to the entire point of having faith. If you believe in God due to perceived proof, that's not faith. It's knowledge - at least from their perspective.
I don't really know where I'm going with this. It's just been swirling around in my head for a while.
