I found the company who makes them in case anyone else is interested!
This is why adaptable equipment is important!! Gives more power back to the user to live their life in the best way for them. Unfortunately a lot of times it is cost prohibitive and hard to find- that’s where allies and activists (and #socialworkers #BlackTumblr #BlackTwitter) can help.
I drew this a few months ago when I was hopeless and waiting to see a new doctor, sat on it when I thought it was actually gonna be ok this time… and now the cycle has repeated YET AGAIN :)
The “women find different things sexy than men and experience desire differently” concept frustrates me because it feels like it doesn’t take into account the cultural chastity behaviors impressed upon women that led them to find other ways to indulge their sexual desires. It also sometimes feels like an attempt to make womens’ desire “cleaner and more pure”. While “deep voices, candlelight, and cashmere sweaters” are certainly attractive, it carries a different caché than saying “when a guy licks my pussy like he’s enjoying the world’s best ice cream” or “when his underwear is almost off and you just see the base of his dick and you guess how big it is.” It’s that kind of “desexing women’s desire” that makes it really difficult to navigate the process of seeking pleasure. It’s what leads to me having to look at gay porn to see a guy in a sexually consumable way, at the expense of feeling like an invader in a place I don’t belong.
“
jötnar are not only personifications of natural forces and the natural
world, but that Norse mythology depicts the entirety of midgard to have
been created with the sacrifice of flesh, blood, and bone of a jötunn
“
What I love about this article is how it points out multiple instances of scholarly biases that hid evidence that giants were worshipped. One example:
In addition to looking at individual jötnar as examples, Steinsland highlights the story of the horse’s phallus contained in Vǫlsa þáttr,
in which a horse phallus is used as a focal point of offering and
worship. The word which would indicate the receiver of the offering, mǫrnir,
is often translated as the singular masculine word for “sword” despite
being in the plural form, which would indicate that it ought to be
translated as the plural feminine word for “giantesses.” (5) Despite the
fact that grammatically and linguistically the translation “giantess”
ought to be preferred, it is often rejected, seemingly as a result of
implicit biases within the scholarly community that assume that no
jötnar ever received worship.

“Moreover, when thou didst drink from the horn, and it seemed to thee to go slowly, then, by my faith, that was a wonder which I should not have believed possible: the other end of the horn was out in the sea, but thou didst not perceive it. But now, when thou comest to the sea, thou shalt be able to mark what a diminishing thou hast drunk in the sea: this is henceforth called “ebb-tides.’
