Argh, cramps. I have things to do, body! Don't fuck with me for no reason! (Maybe I will try this wild yam root, though I'm pretty sure it's the thing in the greenhouse that the manager says is chock-full of estrogen, which might be trouble.) The acupuncturist who can kill them isn't available for some reason, but I might see one of the lesser practitioners today.

I liked this Socimages post about how everyone could play up their body differences instead of trying to obscure them.

I was just reading, the other day, about people living on the Kiriwina Islands, who eat so many yams that the effects of the phytoestrogens have convinced them that sex isn't directly related to reproduction.

Ha! Lucky them. Wonder what their incidence of death cramps is -- or menstruation at all, for that matter.

Yeah, Dioscorea is the origin of modern birth control, so it may not be the best idea ever - but who knows?

*hugs*!
