Erika Moen@erikamoen.bsky.social · 7d agoI love how when we started @ohjoysextoy.bsky.social when I was 29, it was all about sex toy reviews and sex education, and now in my 40s we're running comics about menopause and colonoscopies.
I enjoyed, perhaps, *too much* writing the promotional copy for @cattifer.bsky.social's @ohjoysextoy.bsky.social comic this week 😏

I had (undiagnosed) menopause so bad that I got not one but two spinal taps. LOL. weep.

Menopause kicked my aaaaaaasssssss- I didn't even include a bunch of extra medical stories because there wasn't space, like how I got not one but two spinal taps because one doctor thought my menopaus...

Erika Moen@erikamoen.bsky.social · 2d agoLike. Of everything terrible that's ever happened to my body, I gotta hand it to menopause: It is the absolute worst. Good job, Menopause. You continue to top yourself.

Erika Moen@erikamoen.bsky.social · 4mo agoNew friend said she always mixes up which thread is warp (vertical) and which is weft (horizontal), so I told her to just remember that warp goes up and down and weft goes weft to wight and if anybody else has made that joke before please don't tell me because I was SO pleased with myself 😤
This comic nails something I say all the time. I never stop loving whom I’ve loved, even if our amity never returns. Estranged friends are still loved, former partners are still dear to my heart. Tectonic forces may distance us, but can never sever completely the energy that brought us together 💞

In an age of comics that can be little more than wikipedia entries with spot illos, this is terrific advice. No small number of memoir comics could learn a lot from this, too.
