#TheHomelessPeriod exposes the unique menstruation problem homeless women face 

The new campaign shines a light on homeless women who need assistance caring for their menstrual cycles. According to the Guardian, approximately 26% of people in the U.K. who receive “homelessness services” are female. But in most shelters, “sanitary ware or any kind of period ephemera is scarce,” Vice reported earlier this year. Three women have a plan to fix that.

Guys, please sign the petition! https://www.change.org/p/help-the-homeless-on-their-period-thehomelessperiod

My school had a fundraiser for this. Man you never think of these things

Thank you all for sharing this, because it reminded me that I’ve been meaning to donate some pads/tampons to a local shelter/food pantry

I HIGHY AGREE WITH THIS

What rich fucker needs 55 beds and bathrooms to himself or a small family?

that makes too much sense so it won’t happen

Hey. I live right down the street from this and theyre looking to turn it into a facility for veterans. Theres unfortunately some backlash from the surrounding community, and its hard to see from the pictures but the building sits next to a neighborhood. Its also across the street from an elementary school.

Some people in the neighborhoods are UPSET that this facility will be offering mental health care for veterans. Theyre upset that mentally ill people are going to be coming and going near a school. Most of this is being voiced on the neighborhood forums so I dont have links for it, apologies. 

The nonprofit that is leasing the space for their project still needs donations because the building is vandalized on the inside. Mostly from kids from the surrounding neighborhoods breaking into it. Which I know because I went to school with them. Anyways. Good news, this space is being used to help people who need it. Bad news, people are ableist assholes.

regarding all the hooplah about my work being reposted without credit: this is why. i really prefer retweets and reblogs, but if you must repost, this is what citing the creator had the power to do. removing us from the equation is denying us proper exposure to potential clients when this is the only means of income we have.

edit: the article shown here is not about me!! i appreciate all the congrats comments but i was merely showing the power proper credit has.

Can we please be the generation that stops putting up with the family child molester? The grown uncle who dates teenage girls, the husband who makes uncomfortable comments about young women’s clothing, or the cousin who raises red flags with their behavior towards children but no one wants to talk about all need to go. Children, especially young women, are expected to “keep the family together” by not making a fuss over incredibly traumatic behavior. Children don’t deserve to suffer trauma for adults’ feelings of togetherness. They’re more worthy of protection than predators. A healthy family is not built on the backs of abuse survivors expected to live their lives in silence without justice, support, or protection.

quick reminder: hitler took a sign of peace in the buddhist community and tarnished it and used it as a sign to promote his agenda’ so when buddhist people found out that their symbol that was only ever used to display a sign of peace and was a clear sign of their religion, they didn’t argue and whine like children over trying to fly this symbol after the events of the holocaust, they all as a group decided that it was best to never use the symbol again, and even had signs in remote buddhist villages that were reminding others they could no longer use this symbol because it’s meaning would be forever tied with the millions of innocent people that were killed under the use of the symbol

so i don’t fucking get why it’s so hard for white people to let go of this symbol of oppression; since this flag has never had any connection to peace and it never fucking will
