#menstruationmonday "What made her think she was different?" Tampax ad (undated but likely 1950-60s). This ad depicts a fictitious conversation between two women: one who uses 'internal protection,' or tampons, and the other who sees a box of Tampax in the bathroom and freaks a bit.

Another Monday another #MenstruationMonday post (I am committing). Today I have a picture of a tin and a bottle of Lydia Pinkham's tablet, which was a catchall medicine for any sort of women's issues. It was a home remedy, as Pinkham sold the concoction to local women before financial need drove

"We feel that it cannot credibly claim to provide a safe and inclusive academic environment while employing a scholar who argues that Black people are innately less intelligent and that Black professors owe their presence in universities to DEI policies rather than merit."
We have written a statement in support of Ghent Uni's decision to suspend Nathan Cofnas. We resist attempts to frame this as a punishment for "whistleblowing" or censorship of "controversial research". We invite all academics who share our views to sign our letter.

Today's #MenstruationMonday post is a pink sanitary belt likely from the early-20th century. Before (and sometimes after) disposable pads and elastic belts came along, women used belts that fit around their waist and connected to reusable cloth pads that were secured (like this one) with safety pins

update: 13yo says they were told yesterday that there is a limit of 2 trips to the bathroom per school day and that leaving a classroom to visit the can involves a "homeroom sheet."

New: Target staff "pranked" for social media; a comedian filmed mid-set; a Sprouts worker whose boss started wearing Meta glasses; and a cashier worried customers are filming down her shirt.
Meta glasses are in the workplace, and workers feel powerless to stop it.
