If there’s anything you shouldn’t mind, it’s an expression- especially a ferocious expression, the result of Molly Velvet’s nephew being harassed by the Rescue Rangers.

I get the punchline (the ferocious expression caused by Rescue Rangers), but not the lead-up (”if there’s anything you shouldn’t mind, it’s an expression”).

This is…probably backwards, isn’t it.

d’awww, go click on the google doodle, it does a little dance! :D

What Google Doodle? I even tried poking at U.S. Google with a proxy in case they’d geo-restricted it for some reason, and I’m still getting just the normal logo.

I’ve only tried it on mobile on the Google app, but there it looks like the normal logo till I tap on it, then the letters turn into colored dots and they do a little dance and then go back to being letters.

(I’m assuming the “prank” there is that it looks like they didn’t do anything? I don’t even know.)

(I’m assuming the “prank” there is that it looks like they didn’t do anything? I don’t even know.)

That thought actually occurred to me, which is why when I checked for doodles I clicked the logos even though they didn’t look special. Nothing happened.

*boots up smartphone, pokes at Google Android app*

No, nothing there either. *shrug*

Endometriosis

Killer Cramps Aren't Normal

Endometriosis—the struggle is real.  Killer cramps are NOT normal.  Periods that last longer than 7 days are NOT normal. Heavy bleeding that soaks through a tampon every 2 hours is NOT normal; pain during sex is NOT normal. Bouts of diarrhea and vomiting that accompany every menstrual cycle are NOT normal. No, no, and no!  For many people, this reality is just endometriosis at work.

Sad truth: Many of us are taught to downplay these symptoms. Our pain is diminished by parents, siblings, friends and even health care professionals who convince us that everyone goes through this.

Maybe that is why, according to the Endometriosis Foundation of America, it takes 10 years on average to receive an accurate endometriosis diagnosis. That’s a decade, people! That’s 130 periods of agony, 912 days of someone asking you to take Advil and suck it up.  That…is not okay.

Endometriosis is pervasive.  It affects 1 in 20 Americans of reproductive age and an estimated 176 million people worldwide. It occurs when tissue similar to the endometrium (the lining of the uterus) is found outside the uterus on other parts of the body.  

There are lots of symptoms that can vary among patients.  Pelvic pain is most common, as well as pain that coincides with menstruation.  Other symptoms include heavy cramps, long-lasting bleeding, nausea or vomiting, pain during sex and, unfortunately, infertility.  Some people may even experience symptoms throughout their entire cycle—a real drag.

In addition to these physical symptoms, endometriosis takes a toll on someone’s personal and professional life. Chronic pain can severely affect quality of life day-to-day; medical care can be extremely costly. Furthermore, absenteeism can alter relationships in the workplace and at home.

Despite the intense discomfort, many people do not realize they have endometriosis until they try to get pregnant. And because the disease tends to get progressively worse over time, approximately 30-40% of people who have endometriosis experience fertility challenges.

There is no simple diagnostic test for endometriosis—no blood, urine, or saliva testing can confirm the condition. The only way to verify endometriosis is to undergo a diagnostic laparoscopy with pathology confirmation of biopsy specimens.  

On the bright side, many endometriosis symptoms— including infertility—can be addressed after diagnosis. The gold standard for endometriosis treatment is laparoscopic excision surgery. This involves a careful removal of the entire endometrial lesion from wherever it grows.

The first step to getting there is recognizing that your pain is not normal and seeking timely intervention. The earlier endometriosis is detected and treated, the better the results. Tracking your symptoms will make you better informed for your next doctor’s visit, and set you on a path to better (and less painful!) menstrual health.

oh shit.

Can’t stress enough the early diagnosis part. My mum recently had to have a hysterectomy due to endometriosis and the doctors were like “well, if we’d known about this sooner, a much smaller operation would have been fine and we could have kept the uterus”. Get this shit checked early, guys

beeps, idk who you are on tumblr but if you’re following me, THIS THIS THIS

So, you know how the email notification when you get a new follower has some random congratulatory message, “Yay!” or “Woohoo!” or, weirdly, “Whatever!”?

A blog with a Russian-y username just followed me, and the notifying email’s congratulation was “Классно!”.

I thought it was a neat trick. I wonder what exactly it was about that blog that triggered that response.

(It was just the congratulation that was in Russian; the “is now following you” bit was still English.)

Okay, guys, as April first is tomorrow, I’m reiterating my pledge not to post any pranks. Nothing originating from this blog will be a prank or deliberately incorrect. If I reblog other people’s pranks, which I may, they will be clearly marked and tagged “april fool’s day” and “prank” so you can block them from your dash.

Stay safe out there, my lovelies! I got your back.
