Tips for boys on their period

Don’t put a pad on boxers! It doesn’t work and makes a mess

To feel more masculine wear boxers over your //pad holding underwear//

Don’t beat yourself up, you are totally rad and cool, you’re body is doing something, but that’s okay, it’s not your fault and it doesn’t make you less valid!

If your cheast starts to hurt, don’t bind, some guys get tender breast tissue when it’s that time of the month, listen to your body, don’t push yourself!

Treat yourself to some chocolate!

Tea!!! It’s so good!!!! And green tea can help with cramps!

Advil! I use it when my cramps get bad, sometimes I get headaches and it helps with that too! Don’t take more than six though!

Go under warm blankets with nothing but your underwear on, preferably soft blankets, it makes me feel like I’m in a soft cacoon

Oversized sweatshirts! Always good! Especially for dysphoria!

Wear comfy cloths, always good to feel good

Eat warm soup, feels nice in the tum tum

Don’t eat super greasy foods, it can make your skin break you even more! And there are already so many hormones making your skin do crazy thing you don’t want it to get worse! Also it can make cramps worse

Most of all listen to your body, don’t push yourself, and try to forgive it, it’s confused and doesn’t know that it shouldn’t be doing what it’s doing

1966 Press Conference

Q: Why did you subject yourself to a public apology in front of television cameras?

JOHN: If I were at the stage I was five years, I would have shouted we’d never tour again, pack myself off, and that would be the end of it. Lord knows, I don’t need the money. But the record burning, that was a real shock, the physical burning. I couldn’t go away knowing that I’d created another little pocked of hate in the world. Especially with something as uncomplicated as people listening to records, dancing, and enjoying what the Beatles are. Not when I could do something about it. If I said tomorrow I’m not going to play again, I still couldn’t live with somebody hating for something so irrational.

Q: Why don’t you tell your fans all this?

JOHN: But that’s the trouble with being truthful. You try to apply truth talk, although you have to be false sometimes because this whole thing is false in a way, like a game. But you hope that if you’re truthful with somebody, they’ll stop all the plastic reaction and be truthful back and it’ll be worth it. But everybody is playing the game and sometimes I’m left naked and truthful with everybody biting me. It’s disappointing. I can’t express myself very well, that’s my whole trouble. I was just commenting, in my illiterate way of speaking.

[August 1, 1965]

A version for tumblr that can be read without opening a new tab, since plenty of people would scroll past this story otherwise.

I've always wondered about the Key West incident. "We ended up crying – about, you know, how wonderful we were, and how much we loved each other, even though we’d never said anything". Does that we only refer to John and Paul or to the four Beatles ?

Actually, he has changed version quite a few times. But the official one is that it was just him and John, because this story comes from the song “Here Today” (song he wrote for John) and the line “What about the night we cried”:

“WE WERE IN KEY WEST IN 1964. WE WERE DUE TO FLY INTO JACKSONVILLE, IN FLORIDA, AND DO A CONCERT THERE, BUT WE’D BEEN DIVERTED BECAUSE OF A HURRICANE. WE STAYED THERE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS, NOT KNOWING WHAT TO DO EXCEPT, LIKE, DRINK. I REMEMBER DRINKING WAY TOO MUCH, AND HAVING ONE OF THOSE TALKING-TO-THE-TOILET BOWL EVENINGS. IT WAS DURING THAT NIGHT, WHEN WE’D ALL STAYED UP WAY TOO LATE, AND WE GOT SO PISSED THAT WE ENDED UP CRYING - ABOUT, YOU KNOW, HOW WONDERFUL WE WERE, AND HOW MUCH WE LOVED EACH OTHER, EVEN THOUGH WE’D NEVER SAID ANYTHING. IT WAS A GOOD ONE: YOU NEVER SAY ANYTHING LIKE THAT. ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE A NORTHERN MAN.“

— Paul explaining the line “What about the night we cried?” from Here Today (Source: Guardian Unlimited, 2004)

This is from an interview on Daily Mail:

“THAT WAS IN KEY WEST, WHEN A CONCERT HAD BEEN POSTPONED, BECAUSE OF A HURRICANE IN FLORIDA. AND SO WE HAD TO HIDE OUT FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS, AND ENDED UP IN THIS LITTLE HOTEL SUITE TOGETHER.‘ONE NIGHT, WE GOT PRETTY DRUNK AND ARGUED AND LAUGHED, AND IT ENDED UP US BOTH CRYING, BECAUSE IT WAS, YOU KNOW AT THE HEIGHT OF YOUR DRUNKENNESS, WHEN YOU’RE ALL, “HEY MAN, I LOVE YOU, MAN. NO, I LOVE YOU, MAN.”’‘THAT WAS PROBABLY THE ONLY TIME WE JUST GOT THAT KIND OF INTIMATE WITH EACH OTHER"

This is from an interview in 2011 with Terry Gross:

MR. MCCARTNEY: I seem to remember we had some time off in Key West, Florida, and it was because there was a hurricane, and we’d been diverted, I think, from Jacksonville.So we had to spend a night or two in Key West, is where we ended up, anyway. And at that age, with that much time on our hands, we really didn’t know what to do with it except get drunk.And so that was what we did. And we stayed up all night talking, talking, talking like it was going out of style. And at some point early in the morning, I think we must have touched on some points that were really emotional, and we ended up crying, which was very unusual for us, because we - members of a band and young guys, we didn’t do that kind of thing. So I always remembered it as a sort of important emotional landmark.GROSS: Do you remember what you were talking about that led to that?MR. MCCARTNEY: Probably our mothers dying, because John and I shared that experience. My mother died when I was about 14, and his died shortly after - about a year or so after, I think. So this was a great bond John and I always had.We both knew the pain of it, and we both knew that we had to put on a brave face because we were sort of teenage guys, and you didn’t talk about that kind of thing where we came from.

Once or maybe twice I’ve heard this story by Paul in which he has randomly added George or Ringo too. But I’m 100% sure it was just him and John. Don’t ask me why he does that, it’s the same “We loved john” story (when Paul has to say he loves John he never says “I” he always adds random people like George Harrison and says “We all loved John”)

He probably doesn’t want the scene to be too intimate, dear god he has a serious problem with showing affection toward John in public.

here is a petition to reopen Sandra Bland’s case 

I love how the whole Beatles Fandom agrees that the Cartoon was pretty horrible yet we also all desperatly want a reboot at the same time
