The Ideal Smoothie for Your Period

From our friend Melanie de Jong, nutritionist and naturopath at Food Elements

This replenishing smoothie will bring you back to life when menstrual cramps and fatigue hit. It’s packed with magnesium, iron and tryptophan - exactly what your body needs during your period.

Perfect for breakfast or a snack, this smoothie is delectable without spiking your blood sugar levels - making it a healthier alternative for those chocolate and sugar cravings.

Oatmeal, oat milk & flaxseed

Oats are high in fiber, protein, iron and complex carbohydrates. Flax seeds are also dense in fiber, omega-3 fatty acids and protein, providing additional aid in digestion.

Cashews

Energy and protein-rich cashews are packed with unsaturated fatty acids. Because they are high in magnesium and potassium, they provide good support for your muscles and nerves. Cashews are also particularly high in tryptophan, which can make you happy (3,4).  

Magnesium helps with menstrual cramps, and maybe even hangovers (1,5).

*TIP: Soft, soaked nuts are easier to digest.*

Banana

Magnesium and potassium help our cells and muscles keep us fit. Potassium is also a diuretic (it makes you pee), and helps maintain the water balance in the body as well as regulating blood sugar levels.

Dates

Dates are a wonderful sweetener because they’re full of fiber and tryptophan unlike other sugars. Tryptophan aids in the production of serotonin and can help ease mood swings.

Cocoa Powder (or Raw Cacao!)

Science has proven that chocolate can actually brighten your mood (6). It’s full of magnesium, iron (even more than beef!) and flavonoids, phytochemicals known to help with inflammation.

Oh, and one more thing: Raw cacao is preferred to roasted cocoa because valuable nutrients can be destroyed by the heating process.

Ladies, the next time you’re in pain here’s a little motivational poster for your uterus.

Mess be gone.✨

I should just open a period store

It’ll sell pads, tampons, diva cups, assorted pain killers, sweat pants, comfortable underwear, XXXL t-shirts, fuzzy socks, heating pads, hot water bottles.. There will be a snack session, assorted sweet and salty treats, assorted flowers, stuffed animals, people can drop off coupons (Free ice cream cone anyone?) as donations.. There will be a lounge in the back of the store where you can chill and watch chick flicks and snack and bitch about your bitchiness, it’ll be great

the idea of ‘casual gaming’ is so?

obviously first of all you don’t have to be obsessed with a thing to enjoy it but also if you look at the kind of games that are considered “casual” it becomes obvious so quickly that “casual” means “non-violent/not hyper-masculine’”

like. Popcap games has made a lot of money off the fact that people are so not casual about Bejeweled that they will pay actual money to progress faster 

the two most-played games on my 3DS are Animal Crossing and Tomodachi Life, and I have just shy of 669.5 hours logged between the two of them and there are people who own two copies of Animal Crossing: New Leaf because they want multiple towns or because they want a spare to cycle villagers through so they can get their ideal town

the Sims games have one of the most dedicated and helpful modding communities I’ve ever seen, there are so many people who devote countless hours to picking apart EA’s broken code, to figuring out how to fix everything when EA breaks all the custom content with their latest patch, to filling in features that the game lacks for no obvious reason

people are not casual about these games???? but apparently talking to the AI instead of killing it makes the game not worth taking seriously

whereas from what I can work out many people who play CoD are playing it by leaping around and spraying bullets everywhere with a beer clutched between their knees. Which is fine, but also hella casual. 

Honestly though white privilege is the the very real notion that Scarlett Johansson can be cast as a canonically Japanese character in Ghost in the Shell but the moment you talk about Idris Elba playing James Bond it’s “controversial” 

Oop

i think it’s time to bring back my favourite festive vine

when white actors play PoC suddenly it’s “oh they just wanted the best actor” and “race doesn’t matter to the character” or “they need the star power” no matter how much proof you show about how Race is important to the character or hell the entire story

But when it’s the other way around White people will because ancient anthropologists, have a degree in geothermal studies and astrophysics and pull out ancient real world documentation to tell you why this fictional story set in a world with time travel magic and demons needs to be all white cast because it’s based off of a old 14th century time that has a fairy tale about a goat monster in Ancient Rome during the summer of 1348 and how they were white because the Teutonic plates had shift 2 degrees north.

I’d totally like to see a YA story where the epilogue is like “oh, and they broke up three months later; once the we-saved-the-world-together high wore off, they released they literally had nothing in common, and also that shared life-altering trauma is a poor basis for a stable relationship”.

Amusingly, several days after I posted this, I stumbled upon a real-life scenario that basically worked out like this.

I’m sure we’ve all heard of Julie d’Aubigny; there have been a number of popular posts going around about her adventures, including a well-publicised incident in which she snuck into a convent to shag a nun.

Well, it turns out that the most commonly related version of the story omits several critical details:

(If this sounds completely deranged, bear in mind that we’re talking about a pair of love-addled teenage girls here, one of whom could legitimately put “wandering adventurer” on her resume.)

Long story short, the plan worked, the convent burned, and the young lady joined Julie on the road. Sadly, it wasn’t to last. The life of an adventurer proved to be less romantic than the young lady had imagined; it involved rather more sleeping in ditches than she’d anticipated, for one, and also Julie turned out to be kind of a jerk (you know, if the grave robbing and arson hadn’t clued you into that fact). The pair broke up - you guessed it - just three months later, and the young lady returned home to her parents.

I don’t know about you, but that’s a YA movie I kind of want to see now!

(As a final punchline, the scheme was eventually discovered, and Julie was sentenced to death by burning for a list of crimes including kidnapping, arson, desecration of a corpse, and contempt of court. However, the sentence proved unenforceable due to a failure to properly identify the culprit; the court had assumed that Julie was a man, being unwilling to believe that a teenage girl could have pulled all that off.)

Emily Temple-Wood, a biology major at Loyola University, started WikiProject Women Scientists in 2012 in an attempt to combat the sweeping underrepresentation of women in the annals of scientific discovery.

The trolls soon descended, but instead of retaliating in kind, Temple-Wood and the followers she’s acquired write a biography on a woman who’s made a valuable contribution to science for every hateful message she receives. It turns out, her efforts are desperately needed.
