In case you weren’t aware of the importance of your vote next week, issues like GBV are 100% on the ballot. I say this because things like streetlights & pavements can mean the difference between life or death (in a literal sense). See this explainer that was shared with me:

It really does change with age. 😩 This month my period was suspicious. I had little cramping, my flow was one day heavy, the rest was medium/light. But the back pain & flu I experienced???
Period symptoms changing with age is such a ridiculous and unnecessary aspect of womanhood
