Dark times all around but there are still people out there who love you

Do not hurt yourself, do not hurt others, get help, talk to someone, anyone. Humanity has survived before and we can do it now if we all just support each other. My country and my people let me down and endangered my life but there’s nothing I or anyone else can do about that so let’s try to spread the love that is so clearly lacking.

vaginal hygiene & health - an introductory crash course

pass this on to spread knowledge whether you have one or not, #save-a-coochie

- the vagina is the tubular ‘internal’ sex organ that some people have. - the ‘vulva’ is the set of external sex organs that people with vaginas have. it includes (but not only):

pubic mound 

labia minora and majora (inner/outer ‘lips’)

clitoris and clitoral hood 

vulval vestibule (found in between your labia minora)

urethra (where you urinate from)

vaginal opening

-vaginas naturally contain a balance of different bacterias. this bacteria protects the vagina from external bacteria and fungus, provides natural disinfectants and maintains a healthy vaginal pH of 3.5-4.5.

-vaginal pH varies from person to person, day to day, depending on your cycle, your diet and many other external factors,

-all vaginas have a scent. all of them. no two people smell exactly the same, and you shouldn’t expect your vagina (or anyone else’s) to smell fruity or floral.

- if your worried about your scent, you can place perfume or an essential oil to an area around your vulva but not on it. some places like between your thighs or on your lower stomach, for example,

-your body secretes natural fluids called discharge. discharge is how your vagina self cleanses. it is completely normal and vital to healthy vaginal function.

-discharge can vary in amount, color, texture and scent depending on your cycle. each person is different. if your discharge is unusual or abnormal to you and your unique body - visit a doctor if possible.

-abnormal discharge can be green, grey, very yellow, smelly, itchy, chunky, etc.

-abundant discharge can be annoying. you can remove excess discharge in your shower by inserting one clean finger into your vagina, moving it from one side to another and ‘scooping’ the discharge out. repeat as needed. this reduces the amount of discharge found on your panties and in turn, reduces vaginal scent.

- dead skin cells and oil can build up between your clitoris and your clitoral hood, so it’s important to lift your hood up and rinse thoroughly so it doesnt harden. 

-washing your “external” vulvar areas such as your public mound and outer lips is okay, though some may find skin here more sensitive.

-don’t douche. you may think it helps but it only masks any problems while causing more. douching throws of your flora, alters your PH and forces bacteria into your cervix.

-water and a soft, clean wash cloth is all you need to clean your vulvar areas that contain a mucous membrane. you do not need to wash these areas. applying soaps or cleaners to these areas removes of natural necessary lubricants and bacteria. this may cause irritation, inflammation, major discomfort and dryness. some amount of moistness should always be present.

-a vast majority of vaginal washes, even those touted as hypoallergenic, still contain dyes and fragrances which are known irritants. read the label.

-while Summer’s eve is a lesser of evils with a PH of 3.0 - 3.5 (still not quite correct), it is still a cleanser. vaginal washes are used to cleanse “bad” bacteria from your vulva. they also wash away the “good” bacteria needed to maintain a healthy balance.

-castile soaps (like Dr. Bronner’s) has a pH of about 8.9. these are not suggested.

-never insert any cleansing agents into your vagina.

-the information above applies to any gels, deodorants, perfumed products and wipes, too. these can all disturb your natural balance.

-while they still pose a possible risk of irritation, unscented baby wipes are the lesser of evils regarding “freshening up”.

-pay attention to your irritants and triggers. different people, different reactions

-everyone has different stances and different methods that work for them. if you aren’t experiencing vaginal discomfort or odd changes, you don’t have to discontinue certain product use. i do, however, recommend a trial period of leaving these products alone due to their effects on your vagina.

-allow your vagina to breathe. keep too-tight clothing to a minimum. cotton panties are the best option next to not wearing any at all. rotate the washcloth and towels you use to clean and dry your vagina.

-urinating after masturbation or sex reduces the amount of bacteria in your urethra wiping ‘front to back’ keeps rectal bacterial away from your vagina.

-naturally, food alters your vagina. balancing your diet in general and including things like pineapples, strawberries, yogurt, soy (the list goes on!) can influence your pH.

-beverages like water, cranberry juice and pineapple juice are also proven to improve vaginal health, and may even improve taste.

-adding a probiotic supplement can increase the amount of “good” bacteria called lactobacillus-your vagina.

-the less ideal your vaginal balance/pH is, the more vulnerable you are to infections and STDs.

-when it comes to internet home remedies, your mileage my vary. try everything with caution and research thoroughly.

cheers! your vagina will thank you.

Why is it so hard to believe Black Women?

tw: guns, violence

Black women should not have to give you a play by play of their trauma for you to believe them.

More than a month after the news broke of Tory Lanez shooting Megan thee Stallion in the feet, it took Megan posting a picture of her wounds, going on Instagram live last month saying she didn’t deserve to be shot, and another IG live on Thursday publicly declaring that Tory shot her, as definitive proof….that the world does not care about Black women.

Yet once again, their pain or suffering has to be decided and voted to see if it’s worthy of giving a damn or even worth paying attention to because they may not be telling the truth.

But know this, anyone else but Black women, you will not be the judges of the watchtower of their pain.

After Megan posted the picture of her foot, went on Instagram live declaring that Tory did in fact shoot her in the span of two days, the debates were no longer about if Megan was telling the truth. I mean, they still were there, but another round of ignorance emerged.

Many took to Twitter to label Megan a “snitch” because she chose to let the record straight. SEVERAL people, mainly Black men, made tweets saying that Megan “told on�� Tory when in fact she hesitated to tell the police what happened because she didn’t want Tory thrown in jail. Even though he shot her, Megan would rather have kept quiet than have the situation escalate, possibly leading to all 4 members of the car becoming victims of police brutality.

And here is a situation that is all too common. Black women riding for everyone else, but the feeling is never reciprocated. Black women show up at protests in honor of Black men who are slain by police violence. And what do they get in return when they are the subject of this violence?

Black women are constantly at a difficult crossroad.

If they don’t say anything, they’re probably just lying. Megan didn’t want social media to catch wind of this, so opted to stay quiet about it.

If they speak up, it’s not as bad as they make it out to be. When she shared an image of her foot with the stitches, her comments were filled with people claiming that it doesn’t look like she got shot in her foot.

Megan thee Stallion is a bold and outspoken woman, with an image full of confidence and agency. And because of that, many believe that any hardship she faces, she can handle it or just brush it off completely. That whatever the world throws at her, she can throw it back ten times harder. Somehow her persona protects her from experiencing pain like anyone else.

No one can believe that the Hot Girl could be treated so cold.

The “Strong Black Woman” trope that has been associated with her is why people are refusing to show her sympathy. Because like other Black women, they are expected to just endure. And a “larger than life” figure like Megan showing any form of weakness, has people coming out of the woodworks saying that she is a liar.

It’s still not enough for people even though she said she was repeatedly shot. There has to be another. Another set of proof, another picture, another source. Many won’t believe Megan until Tory has said something. And even then, they still may not.

Megan had to, scratch that, HAS to get on Instagram and share pictures of her wounds, recount the story to dispel rumors that she is a liar, and publicly declare the very thing that was made true last month, for people to consider listening to the woman at the center of this incident.

Do better by Black women.

One of the biggest problems that keeps systematic racism going is white privilege. Here are some things I've gone through as a black person.
