(you don't have to answer this publicly or at all if it makes you uncomfortable) in echo to what you said about not being able to use tampons, there's actually a name for that phenomenon, it's called vaginismus, it causes the muscles to get tense to the point where inserting something in that orifice is painful or straight up impossible and it's a lot more common than people think!! it's nothing to be ashamed of, it's a good thing that you have pads as an option but it would be worth discussing with a doctor if you plan on having penetrative sex at some point
I didn't actually know that anon!! Thank you for sharing, also yes I do think this could apply to me considering I went for my first pap smear recently and it was very painful. As it turns out I have an infection so that's probably part of it so hopefully it isn't as bad in the future. I'm a lesbian so the sex thing definitely won't be an issue for me 😂 but I will definitely keep this in mind, especially if paps continue to be painful for me.

spent 2.5 hours cleaning adhesive off the balcony doors at my old place. my bad, whatever, but it was from draft excluder tape i had to use because there were visible gaps in the door and and the place was cold af in winter. ice on the inside of the windows during last year's sub-zero down to minus 10 episode levels of cold.
anyway: shredded my hands and destroyed my nails in the process. came home through pouring rain to discover white spirit spilled in my bag on the way (it's all i can smell in the whole of downstairs). it has been an Ordeal™️ and if i don't get my full deposit back i will commit murder.

I found out my favorite rugby rookie is also a Fandom nerd and it's been so long since I met an IRL not-normie friend. I am normie passing but God is it boring sometimes. Picture me three hours into a five hour drive smelling blood in the water when she tells me she also used to watch the original xmen trilogy on repeat. Oh? I say. I loved the new ones too, it's nice to have hot young xmen to read fic about. She tells me she's read an embarrassing amount of avengers fic. I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours I say. She says she'll probably recognize the ship by name. I admit that I was deeply into frostiron for several years. The manic wheeze of oh my god that came from the back of the car. Imagine you meet a fic friend in real life and the first thing they do is name drop your OTP. I also read stucky, I say. We're both somewhere between delirious laughter and tears. She knows that all good fic writers for some reasons also write hockey rpf!!! Finally it's like a third language I never get to use I've been archiving fandom knowledge since I was 15

I met this nice girl through my college friend. She's my friend's childhood best friend and I had heard so much about her so I was really excited to finally meet her. The three of us hung out at a stupid school-sponsored event into the late hours of the night, drinking soda and eating pizza and getting to know each other. At the end of it, she entered into a raffle and ended up winning free tickets to Disneyland. We celebrated and parted ways. It was the highlight of that semester.
A few months later, Israel began dropping bombs on her family home. I watched from afar as her entire life fell apart and her family was displaced and killed. Every time I asked how she was doing, she was doing bad.
In Palestine, as in a lot of places in the world, it is shameful to ask for money. A little bit after the war began, I passed a message along to her family offering to help raise funds for their evacuation, but they declined saying that they didn't want pity from anyone. Now it seems like they're running out of options.
My friend has already lost so much so please spare her the additional indignity of asking for help and not receiving it. I can't imagine how soul crushing it would be to do something you believe to be shameful and for your effort to go to waste.
Their goal is only $5000 and they've already raised ~$820, I don't see why we can't raise the full amount within the next week.
Verified by the fact that this is literally my IRL. DM me if u wanna see her Instagram or other contact info proving she's real. Tumblr is a rather unsafe place for Palestinians so I'd rather not publicize all her personal info but I've been pretty careful with the fundraisers I boost on this blog so I hope you can trust me here.
EDIT 08/24/24:
Thank you all so much for your support. You have no idea what it means to me after so many months of witnessing zionist attacks both online and off, to see so many people come together and commit to helping someone I care about without a single zionist comment. There’s nothing but love here.
My friend reached her goal early this morning and I even saw people encouraging others to keep donating because they realized her family would need more. I am truly moved by this incredible show of compassion from everyone.
As you can imagine, life in Gaza is becoming increasingly more expensive. My friend has raised her goal to $10000 - let’s keep this train going and get her there within a week 🙏
