It will not surprise anyone who has ever owned or known a longhaired cat to learn that Tazendra gets dingleberries stuck in her butt fur. Tonight she brought home the motherlode. I will be damned if a single nugget of it reached the litter. So, in the middle of trying to watch a movie and prepare the next fever_dreams update, I suddenly have a lapful of ( Read more... )

menstruation, griping

Oh wow, what a night.

I am trying to remember where I read it - I think it was a Dawkins book - but it said that menstruation has been getting much worse over the most recent tens of thousands of years of human evolution. With civilization, women smelling of blood and feeling poorly didn't make them any less likely to reproduce or raise their kids successfully, and quarantining all the women for 5 days a month seemed to have beneficial effects (hello, arts and crafts and story telling!) so there was nothing to stop menstruation from drifting off toward the horrific. (Drunkard's Walk problem.) Any rate, the author postulated that in the stone age, menstruation looked a lot more like estrus - a little gooey, but not terribly uncomfortable or messy.

And some of us still have that. I feel awful for people with really nasty periods all the time, but I only bleed like the stuck pig twice a year. This doesn't stop my body from cramping like the bastard.

And, oh yeah. Menopause sucketh. It takes too long to be a relief.

"Moral: if a chick is washing blood out of clothes, leave her alone. There is probably no reason for her doing so that does not involve her having a bad day, and you possibly having a worse one."

Splorfle.

@naamah_darling, permission to metaquotes? (got here by linkhopping, and Oh My God it was hard not to laugh aloud on a conference call.)
