Here's a very interesting piece on the value and importance of #menstrual #blood as a #health diagnostic

https://www.theguardian.com/society/ng-interactive/2025/oct/27/menstrual-period-blood-testing-womens-health

A really excellent discussion on reframing #menstrual cycles by Dr Chi #Eziefula (starts about 4 mins in to 24 mins). She understands the cycle as a fantastic tool of insight into one's overall health.

We had a wonderful Menstrual 🛖 at dark 🌑 last night. Of course Indigenous cultures tend very frequently to make women's cycles an organising principle of cosmology -- the problem is our bereft culture and xtianity silencing and suppressing such knowledge of our own bodies.

@tyleroakley on x
just got a bloody nose in the shower, obvi I'm fine, but its just very alarming to look down at your naked body and see blood everywhere

tyler comes back and says

This is breathtaking!

We are taking inspiration from these paintings for our #bodypaint #menstrual 🛖🩸 on Sunday at 🌑 Moon

Anyone interested to join us, Sunday pm from 2pm in a gallery space not far from Old Street, get in touch.

#Easter, celebrating #rabbits in time with the #Moon, is undoubtedly our favourite! The stories of the Moon and Hare/rabbit are widespread across click-speaking Southern #African language groups.

These are very very old tales about the 'Origins of Death', telling of a shift from cyclical dying and coming back to life to a linear death for good. The bunny -- in the role of #menarcheal initiate -- gets the blame (but fights back!).

This 'menstruating male' upstart steals these powers of death and resurrection (in fact he steals the menstrual powers from his mum, Mary, who is the woman with no blood). Bushman peoples who have been taught about xtianity are quite well aware this Jesus is a trickster.

Here is the famed image of Jesus' #menstrual wound, shaped just like a bleeding cunt, spilling the secrets. We need to steal these secrets back! That's the 🐇 fightback!

Only hate for Unilever, but this campaign on the importance of #menstrual #blood for women athletes and their performance is...bloody good 🩸

Las ultimas décadas ha aumentado de forma masiva el número de mujeres que se han dedicado a observar sus menstruaciones, sus procesos, su cuerpo con curiosidad.
🩸
Mujeres de todas las áreas del saber y el hacer. Gracias a ellas y a las que las siguieron este camino, comenzaron a promoverse estudios, publicaciones y todo tipo de actividades, en diferentes ámbitos, sobre la menstruación y los procesos fisiológicos femeninos.
🩸
La Cultura Menstrual cíclica se ha comenzado a despojar del tabú impuesto durante siglos por la ignorancia patriarcal.
🩸
En lugar de ser una maldición, hoy somos más y más las mujeres que comprobamos en cada nuevo ciclo la bendición de renovación y salud en que se transforma nuestro ciclo cuando podemos observar y comprender la experiencia del viaje hormonal. Es posible y necesario cuidar nuestro cuerpo, comprender nuestra mente y emociones, indagar en la creatividad y el poder que cada fase del ciclo nos ofrece...y claro, compartir este conocimiento con todas, que todas nos liberemos del dolor, de todo el malestar, la culpa, la vergüenza y todo el sufrimiento derivado de la ignorancia del proceso cíclico y sus virtudes naturales.
🩸
Si menstruas, la llevas dentro: no dudes de tu sabiduría, está esperando que le dediques tu atención y la compartas con el mundo.
💜
Lo que es natural al cuerpo y la tierra se comprende rápido y se siente bien.
Es siempre un beneficio.
♀️
Definitivamente vamos a cambiar el mundo

Interesting piece on the ideas of #sexstrike so troubling the US.

What this misses out is that #sexstrike was how we created human culture! And it was periodic -- not forever! Aligned to the #moon and #menstrualcycles

Sex Strike takes specific forms among #African #huntergatherers, that is #menstrual #taboos and rules about #brideservice which is the work a son-in-law does for his mother-in-law (she is boss) otherwise no nooky!

Commentary by Kierkegaard, who finds in this 'mille e tre' aria the true epic significance of the opera: condensing in large groups countless women, it conveys the universality of Don Giovanni as a symbol of sensuality and yearning for the feminine.

Kierkegaard totally misses the point that this is about 🩸, #menstrual synchrony and women's relation to the #Moon

Most pale male stale European philosophers do!

“I want the men in the arena to bear w/me on this,” #MichelleObama said, “because there’s more at stake than just protecting a woman’s choice to give birth.” She described a #woman’s body as a “complicated business,” & spoke about abnormal #PapSmears, #mammograms, infections, & #miscarriages; about #menstrual problems & #menopause; & about inequities in funding for research into #WomensHealth.
