Fascinating! I’m nearly 50 and grew up in rural Alaska—you know I was taught that menstruation posed a danger for women in the wild. I will admit, as I was reading this I was incredibly skeptical even until closer to the end of the post.
thanks for this well-researched piece and hooray for lady rangers! i’m about to embark on some long-term solo camping (work-related), and so many people have asked me about “what I’m going to do about menstruation”. uh, i’m going to do it? and take normal precautions similar to the way i’d treat food or toiletries in…
This really, really sucks. I know vaping has a bad wrap, but there are plenty of people who aren’t douchebags about it and they have used vapes as a way to stop smoking cigarettes which is a good fucking thing.

My state barely allows abortion so I have to drive my pregnant, still…
From NOW Cleveland:
I agree. His gracious proffessionalism in the presence of someone who hates him will have a lot more lasting resonance in the future than any ineffectual jabs the media will explode all over. If Trump is going to be a disaster, then Obama’s measured and reasonable nature will provide greater contrast.
He’s under no illusions about the sensibility of everyone else, but he’s smart enough to know that the instant he drops the civility and lowers himself even slightly towards the level of inane contempt that is constantly aimed at him, he loses the high ground and all the tropes and racism will turn against him.…
It kind of makes me feel like our parents are getting divorced, Obama’s our real dad, and we have to go live with our drunk, grabby, step-dad. Real dad is trying to make us feel better about it, but we know step-dad is going to get trashed and hit on our under-age best friend. And by that, I mean round up muslims and…
