    GAH!

    So many thoughts… where even to begin? I think my favorite part is the cheesy script font and odd spacing. So patronizing, so reminiscent of those icky faux-uplifting “forward to ten of your friends :) :) ” emails that I’m always getting from random aunts who just discovered the internet.

    Make your own pads! Or buy them online! I’ve used gladrags for years and I can’t be more glad to never by always again and never contribute to landfill waste because of my period!

    This is the time to be every stereotype of a menstruating woman that you can possibly be.

    Have a happy period! ;)

    I don’t feel like crying, I feel like screaming: #$$^&%!! And I don’t even have periods anymore.
