Was ein bisschen Druck bewirken kann. Nachdem @stillnotlovin und Julia Hartl die Ratshaustoiletten schon zweimal aus eigener Tasche mit Hygieneartikeln versorgt haben, hat die Stadtverwaltung #Dresden nun doch einen Gang zugelegt und den #Staddrat - Beschluss von 2021 endlich umgesetzt - zumindest zum Teil.
Mark #Zuckerberg removed #tampons from men's restrooms. #Meta employees put them back. - https://mashable.com/article/mark-zuckerberg-remove-tampons-meta-employees-revolt "This decision wasn’t about cost-cutting or efficiency — it took effort, served no practical purpose, and sent a clear message about the company’s shifting priorities." what coward this man is
#MarkZuckerberg #orders #Meta #offices to remove #tampons from #mens #bathrooms
Once available for #trans and #nonbinary #employees who used the #mensbathroom, the #tampons have been #scrapped as part of #MarkZuckerberg’s #antiLGBTQ+ #policy spree, which appears to be in response to #ConvictedFelon #DonaldTrump’s #election #victory.

ähm
ich hab keine Worte.

"Fehlende Studien zur Metallaufnahme über Vaginalschleimhaut"
Was ich für den wichtigsten Punkt halte.
Ich hoffe, dass dies bald geklärt wird.

“I think he means that #menstruation stops if the #President #declares a #natural #disaster,” one #commenter #joked.

The evening stands to be a high-stakes distillation of the #Hateful Republican #Culturewars largely defining this #national #Political #contest, with nasty #digs referencing “#childlesscatladies,” #tampons in boys’ #bathrooms, and pet-hunting #Haitians flying across the stage from the start.

Mehrwertsteuersenkung für Tampons und Binden laut Studie verpufft
Die Mehrwertsteuer auf Binden und Tampons wurde 2020 reduziert, um Frauen finanziell zu entlasten. Eine Studie moniert jetzt gleichzeitige Preiserhöhungen bei Slipeinlagen - diese waren von der Maßnahme ausgenommen.
the irony of “Tampon Tim”? #tampons and maxi pads are the unspoken recommended items to have in military grade, first aid kit for hunters.
not only do tampons make great kindle starters but they, as menstrual pads, are good at staunching gun shot wounds in the event of a friendly-fire accident.
and i have been told it's the all cotton tampons they prefer. all cotton pads are helpful but because they're used externally, don't have to go all-cotton for those.
"[Jill] Burcum, who is on the newspaper’s editorial board, suggested that Kelly do a 'thing called journalism' before commenting and gifted a link to an article from the board that called out the former Fox News host, among others, with a
'reality check on the Tampon Tim meme.'”
~ David Gilmour
Minneapolis Star-Tribune does a "reality check" on the Tampon Tim meme that toxic right-wingers like Megyn Kelly are using to attack Tim Walz and finds:
"Critics contend, wrongly, that it mandates menstrual products in boys’ bathrooms. This has unfortunately been used to stoke ongoing culture wars over transgender individuals."

#Minnesota #Governor #TimWalz made #tampons #free in #Minnesota #schools.
The #Minnesota #law #requires #schooldistricts to develop #plans to ensure all #studentswhomenstruate can access #free #tampons and #pads, eliminating the so-called #tampontax.

#Conservatives are #outraged that #TimWalz provided #free #tampons for all #students who need them.
#Progressives are defending the #law that provided #free #menstrualproducts in #publicschool #restrooms.
Wie schlimm sind #Schwermetallspuren in #Tampons wirklich?
Von Franca Parianen @Fparianen
Worum geht’s?
„Giftige Schwermetalle in Tampons!“ Diese Schlagzeile sorgte in den letzten Tagen auch auf Social Media für Aufruhr.

Wie gefährlich sind Schwermetalle in Tampons?
Blei, Arsen und Cadmium: Ein Forschungsteam aus den USA hat Tampons untersucht und bei zahlreichen Marken Schwermetalle gefunden. Deutsche Institute geben Entwarnung, doch viele Fragen sind noch offen. Von Lena Bodewein.
"Researchers have found toxic metals — including arsenic and lead — in over a dozen popular brands of tampons, raising questions about a menstrual hygiene product used by millions of Americans.
Their study, published last week in the scientific journal Environment International, adds to a growing body of research about chemicals found in tampons but is believed to be the first to specifically measure metals."

https://gidmk.medium.com/should-you-be-worried-about-toxic-metals-in-your-tampons-597657939443 “Fortunately for people with periods, the data is not nearly as worrying as you might’ve heard. While it’s true that there are probably some #HeavyMetals in #tampons, the quantities of these contaminants are incredibly low. There’s no evidence that you need to throw away your period products just yet.”
Most of this study is described as inconclusive in terms of harm, but buried in the article is some terrible news about the effects of pfthalates as hormone disrupters, which are horrendous; and they are nearly ubiquitous now in the US. https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/tampons-contain-lead-arsenic-and-potentially-toxic-chemicals-studies-say-here-s-what-to-know-1.6961126

Hello #Fedi, #MutualAid post coming. Anything helps, from the cost of a meal, about $15/25, to the cost of a new wordrobe because most of my stuff doesn't fit me anymore, $300. Also need #Tampons pads and new glasses. #MutualAid #MutualAidRequest @MutualAid #MeCFS
