onward to the march picture thread

I've never felt beautiful while on my period. And Hell No to ever just standing around with a waterfall of blood on my naked legs demanding that my beauty be recognized. Even if that was pretty, it is too much of a mess to be worth the bother.

I just meant that there is a lot of beauty to be found in the concept of menses, and the accepting of the whole woman for all that she is. I also really like art that shows darkness in light, secret as bold.

That is sort of the point I was making too though, the part about not being beautiful while bleeding.

Don't feel good, aren't looking good, not acting good or nice or lovely. And none of it can be helped, it just is. Perfect time to be accepted as beautiful, to be told and treated as though you are absolutely wonderful.

I like you.

For some reason I thought you were a dude....MINDFUCK

Well, thanks.

I like your avatar (Truly).

I'm not going to lie, and I don't want to get off the subject of pictures, but I just watched One Flew Over the Cookoo's Nest a few months ago(LATE), and your avatar/sig combo delights me every time.

I don't feel beautiful when I'm on my period. I have debilitating cramps and I generally go through an entire thing of oreos in a matter of hours - BUT I think periods in general are super neat so whateva whateva.

can you guys explain the whole tampon thing to me? I don't understand the deal with applicators and why it changes things?

I don't really have a period so this doesn't come up a lot.

Think of push-pop ice cream - it's sort of like that, except the ice cream is the tampon. It just helps to put the tampon where it needs to go.

I might buy a diva cup, though, which is a totally different story.

"Diva cup", "Soft cup", "The keeper". That's a whole new gross. But apparently a great way to transfer your moon blood to your house and garden plants.

I just find it weird that there aren't really any non-applicator tampons here. like, omg, you might actually have to touch your own vagina (or stick a fingertip a little way inside) to make sure it's in there correctly.. maybe I'm just not used to them but applicator tampons are confusing to me. Plus it's a whole lot more wasteage. But I guess I'm going to have to start using them, because the supply I brought from Australia is pretty much run out.

And I am so excited to do just that.

I like the idea of those things, less consumer waste and whatnot, but I'd be so paranoid about it being completely sterilised before putting it back inside of me that I'd have to buy an autoclave or something as well. Not exactly convenient when you have your period at work.

I've never used an applicator tampon. We have all sorts of o.b's so that's what I use.

I tried those cup things before and I didn't care for them.

As far as pouring the blood anywhere but the toilet, I have no familiarity with that, although, if you are clumsy, it is possible to pour it on the bathroom floor without meaning to.

so do they feel weird? enquiring minds..

It was a long time ago when I tried using one (it was some other brand too) but I do remember that it was uncomfortable if inserted wrong, the same way a tampon is uncomfortable if inserted wrong, but you don't really feel it if you are wearing t right (just like a tampon, again).

I also remember the ones i used were supposedly reusable, just rinse it out and reinsert, but for that very reason I couldn't bring myself to use it outside of the house. What? Am i just going to be there in the grocery store restroom at the sink washing out my menstrual cup and some other lady walks in? Plus, what are you going to use between the time you are washing it and you are getting back to the stall?

I know some ladies also use sea sponges as reusable tampons.

Pretty sure he was just bein' a dick 4 kickz (and I was just going along with it.)

I'd probably take some artsy~*~ pictures of my uterine waste, but I wouldn't put it in my house plants. I don't even have house plants!

<3

I got a new cardigan and celebrated by taking a picture of my face while I was wearing it.

I also took a picture of one of the tunnelbridgethings near my apartment.

I also also made a sleep mask that says "fuck off" in neon pink letters and my friend took a picture of me wearing it while I was napping. I would call her creepy, but I was sleeping while someone was at my house, so it's kind of my own fault.

If everyone single post had 5 pictures in it, it still wouldn't be enough to save this page. Just keep posting fast and furious till the next one.

I love that sleeping mask and omg I love polka dots!

You must be on your period.

Hurr hurr hurr.

Well thank goodness Lovebomb, that is why I asked if it was real life. Sometimes, I don't interpret the Dickness coming through in the typed words.

No, bro. It's a legitimate gross.

Guys, it's just a little blood. Don't be afraid of it; get in there.

Stop it you guys! You're grossing me the fuck out!

I swear, in the April picture thread I'm going to start talking about canine anal gland secretions.

Just you wait. Next month I would have had a baby. Then I can really get in on the gross talk.

I love you.

A lovely package from Chenoa! I got it a couple of weeks ago but I'm going to share it now and hopefully save the thread:

CHECK OUT THIS GIANT BELLY! (I look like crap, but...meh)
I've got 5 weeks to go, but I'll proably be induced in 3 weeks.

I love Jude's watercolor skills and belly is big! I can't wait for baby!

^5

Sarah, omg, girl, I know you're ready for some relief! I can't wait to see the bebbe!

Chenoa is so cool/creative.

Sarah! So cute :3

You know who I feel/look like?

Obelix.

Hehe.

Awwww Sarah, I think you look beautiful pregnant!!

Aw thanks Winnie. It's getting pretty heavy and uncomfortable now though. I do love the baby belly in some ways, especially when she moves.

I love your dress sarah. And you look lovely.

Yeah that last month is heavy and uncomfortable, but your in the home stretch now. Baby Moon will be here before you know it.

Thanks Amber.

Not long to go and I can post baby photos!

3 cheers for baby frances bean moonjumper!

So for the longest time I haven't wanted to sound stupid for asking this question, but today I say fuck it. What does qft mean?

Quoted For Truth.

or quantum field theory. Context, as usual, is everything.

"Quoted for truth", but also I like to think of it as "quite fucking true"

I thought of it as "quite fucking true" for a long long time. Makes sense to me!

Check out this cool bowl I got the other day:
