I don't know what it's like to get a period, let alone first, but it is often portrayed for emotional intensity in dramas in a way that exacerbates or comments on the young person's existing situation, so that's all a way to say your experience might make for an excellent writing prompt

Graham Greene has died but that fuckface is still alive.

I just went and found my blog entry for that horrifying product line from 2002, and what I had forgotten was that funkyfries dot com pointed to a website for Jewish cooking web.archive.org/web/20060410...
But they kept looking to the sky ā where a vibrant natural rainbow spanned stormclouds and arced toward heaven. was a message, and one that should resonate: Be unafraid. Fight back against hatred and injustice. love will eventually prevail. Even under threat, Orlandoās colors donāt run.
That resistance started strong. Within hours of the stateās desecration of the Pulse rainbow crosswalk ā as hundreds of people gathered, attired in defiant rainbow colors, to listen to local leaders talk about their anger and grief.
WHITE HOUSE AIDE: we need a distraction from the president being dead OTHER WHITE HOUSE AIDE: letās kill Rudy
Courage is contagious
Consistent with how he thinks "asylum seekers" are people from "insane asylums" (and he will not be dissuaded from that)
Fixed it.
Ugh I'm sorry some terrible person did that
Just that slap that reminds you, oh you're a *reader* you aren't inhabiting a shared social space with a range of folks. Others in gen pop might respond or like but the BMOC rarely deign to.
*polite may sometimes come close to fawning because God forbid someone with a large follower count disagrees with, or is dismissive of you, then you just piled on by their followers. About...just anything. It's unpleasant.
They have large followings, and post an absolute gold mine of passionated, reasoned, thoughtful writing. Neither have responded to my polite* requests for clarification or suggestions that this isn't right. My mistake for thinking monologs are dialogs. Bummer that this can't be a better place.
This afternoon two progressive journalist men I follow have separately commented on the discourse by lashing out at effectively 'all you people' for a) being cowards (if the government sends armed people to polling places b) laughing about Trump's death therefor NOT doing any actual resistance work

Don't hold your breath!
It's great that some people are posting here from their keyboard that they wouldn't be afraid, but it's not a stretch to imagine that others would that we would all face the consequences of that? I wonder if I'm missing the point, if so, I am sorry.
If we fear they will send armed people to some poling places won't all people have to consider that, with or without valid info, if that is something to fear, and doesn't that suppress turnout?
What I honestly don't get about this discussion, and maybe I am missing the point, but sure they can't staff at scale to send armed people to every polling place, but if they send armed people to some polling places (like key ones they esp want to suppress) isn't that bad? and

Did Hulu recently increase the number of ads in a movie?
Let's do it!
Why not rainbow all the crosswalks, everywhere?
It would send a different message, but I think it'd be cool if those of us in other states also started doing this. Paint, or chalk, either way.

FHP also arrested a man at a crosswalk near Pulse in Orlando last night. The bizarre story of the arrest is related below by Fox35 Orlando. This is so pitifully embarrassing for the state. via www.fox35orlando.com/news/man-arr...
