Menstrual cycle data ‘underused’ and should be on health records, experts say https://www.theguardian.com/society/2025/jul/24/menstrual-cycle-data-underused-and-should-be-on-health-records-experts-say #Medicalresearch #Women'shealth #Menstruation #Reproduction #England #Society #Science #UKnews #Health #Women

I was talking to @conjugateprior about singing in choir with my dad when I was a teenager, and favourite songs that were contemporary classical of the time and came to something the lyrics of which are like the first line here https://www.biblegateway.com/verse/en/Isaiah%2064%3A6 but I post that because whoah the different translations are different. I love that the rags have something to do with #menstruation (but not that that's equivalent to sinning, of course.)

Ich hab jetzt schon öfter von #datenschutz Problemen bei #ZyklusApps gehört. Und ich habe Fragen an die Frauen da draußen, weil ich keine Freundin zum Ausfragen habe und nicht... idk... ne random Kollegin fragen will.

(Wozu) Braucht ihr diese Apps wirklich? Also welchen echten Mehrwert hat sie für euch? Würde euch was fehlen, wenn ihr ohne auskommen müsstet?

Ich wüsste einfach gerne, warum man solche sensiblen Daten in sein #smartphone eintippt.

#Menstruation - wenn du im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes monatlich deine Nachkommen opferst.

Still thinking about this essay on "blood and learning how to bleed" in the context of politics, organising, and change, and as I was writing some notes about it, I just realised how menstruation is so overlooked in political analysis, though in the moment you look at the politics or the effect of politics on the *bleeding that keeps the species alive* suddenly a lot of 'complex situations' become so much easier to understand.

Radio | Festival - Ein Menstruationszelt als Rückzugsort

Festival bedeutet nicht nur gute Musik und viele Menschen, sondern auch: Anstehen vor stinkenden Dixi-Klos. Unangenehm, wenn wir ausgerechnet dann unsere Tage bekommen. Das Immergut Festival hat dafür vorgesorgt: Mit Menstruationszelt und sauberen Toiletten.

Ruhe, Tee und eine Wärmflasche sind manchmal genau das, was wir brauchen, wenn wir unsere Tage bekommen und die Krämpfe im Unterleib nicht aufhören wollen. Aber wie kommt man an all das auf einem Festival? Oft fehlt es schon an fließendem Wasser und sauberen Toilettenkabinen, um den Tampon zu wechseln oder die Menstruationstasse zu entleeren...

Es ist schon eine legendäre Anekdote: Die Nasa fragte 1983 die Astronautin Sally Ride, ob 100 Tampons für eine einwöchige Mission ausreichen würden.

We really liked this piece by #JohnHawks especially covering #Indigenous cosmology intertwining the Moon with menstrual cycles, something pervasive (and we're doing more with Hadza colleagues on this).

Weltmenstruationstag: Was die Forschung über Periodenprodukte sagt

Ob Tampons, Binden, Menstruationstassen, Schwämme oder Periodenunterwäsche - die Auswahl an Menstruationsprodukten ist groß. Dabei geht es nicht nur um Komfort, sondern auch um Gesundheit, Umweltfreundlichkeit und Kosten.

@todayilearned
There are basically 3 different ways of taking hormonal #contraception
1. you stop taking it for 7 days during which #menstruation takes place.
2. during these 7 days, placebos is taken primarily in order to have a regular daily routine.
3. the pill is taken continuously without interruption, which completely suppresses menstruation.
This varies from #country to country

TONIGHT our last LIVE meet before summer down the pub!

TUESDAY May 13 Menstrual Hut Coalition 'Where have all the menstrual huts gone?' LIVE from 6pm upstairs in The Two Chairmen pub, Dartmouth St, London SW1H 9BP. On the past, present and future of menstrual huts. Come for food, drink and healthy discussion, or join on ZOOM ID 384 186 2174 passcode Wawilak

Where have all the menstrual huts gone? was the question posed by US archaeologist Patricia Galloway in the late 90s. She wondered why there was so much ethnographic evidence for historic and current menstrual observances among SE Native American groups (eg Chickasaw, Creek, Choctaw), and yet archaeology scarcely identified ‘menstrual seclusion’ sites. Menstrual taboos, she realised, often associated with matriliny and matrilocality rather than patriarchal societies. She said: ‘Because Western societies practice the hiding of menstruation…the topic itself is treated with reticence by females, discomfited derision by males, and with pollution anxieties ...by both’.

Members of the London Menstrual Hut Coalition will be leading open discussion about the past, present and future of menstrual huts, drawing on recent experience in London to reclaim women’s time/space at Dark Moon.. We can learn from Indigenous cosmologies of how these space/times can move whole communities between worlds and usher ‘World Renewal’. People of all genders welcome, as we are thinking about gender interactive celebrations.

We are LIVE upstairs at The Two Chairmen pub, Dartmouth St, SW1H 9BP If you can’t get there, you can join on ZOOM ID 384 186 2174 passcode Wawilak from 6 pm

Es nervt ein bisschen, dass sich #Symptome von #wechseljahre|n, #Menstruation und (anbahnender) Krankheit so ähneln können
Da denk ich, ich bin nur n bisschen schwach auf den Beinen und fahre halbwegs munter #Fahrrad und zu Hause wirds nur schlimmer, aber nicht besser und schwupp, hab ich doch tatsächlich Fieber
Das passt mir jetzt aber überhaupt gar nicht

In the 1970s, a group of female students at Tohoku University began demanding the university provide free menstrual products in restrooms. They were met with ridicule. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/03/31/japan/society/japan-gender-equality-movement-menstruation/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #society #women039sissues #menstruation #health #students #tohokuuniversity
