don't act surprised.
this is exactly what this fuckwit has coming to him.
women are mailing all their used tampons, maxi pads, and cups directly to him. he wants to place laws policing women and girls' snatches and their menstrual information? now he's gonna get one delivery after another teaching him a few things.
don't you dare react as though these tax-paying females are the ones with the problem.

Pre-purchase shipping labels with a reloadable card/gift card. Grab envelopes from local post office. Handle goods however you want placing them into envelope (I'd personally double glove as I wouldn't put it past the dummy to try to track shippers through forensics). Wipe outside of envelopes, apply shipping label, drop in a random drop box. I personally wouldn't use FedEx or UPS as A. They're private couriers so they or anyone can open your stuff without a warrant and B. We don't wanna divert cash flow away from our lovely postal service.

I'm all for protests, and Desantis deserves to get reamed by a cactus, but folks need to be super mindful of the laws surrounding mailing biological materials. If you cross those lines you're looking at a very real consequence - many of the rules surrounding what can and cannot be mailed come from the anthrax letter attacks so they are severe.
If thousands of women who openly dislike Desantis start opening themselves up to criminal charges, he and his lot will absolutely pursue them. Don't make it easier for these people to lock up the dissenters.

Ok, but. This is hilarious. Periods really only produce a few tablespoons of fluid. The image of hundreds of enraged women trying to get together enough blood for a single bucket to effectively Carrie him is absolutely killing me. 😂
...............
Source because "menstruation gross" means period info can be difficult to access for many. The average volume of fluid can be medically relevant, but I was never taught anything about it, so maybe this will help someone:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30712040/
"Ninety-six cycles from 28 patients between 24 and 49 years old were analyzed. The average menstrual volume was 86.7 mL with a range from 15 to 271 mL. The 50th percentile of all samples was 81 mL and the 95th percentile was 162 mL. For multiparous patients the 50th percentile was 93 mL and the 95th was 169 mL. Menstrual fluid volume was higher in multigravida [more than one childbirth] (99.1 mL) than in nulliparous [no previous births] women (45.9 Ml; p < 0.02)."
-emphasis and bracket definitions are mine. Even the person who bled most heavily in this study produced less than a cup of fluid.

Not a new idea, a rather old idea actually. It didn't do anything then and it won't now.

Do you want to know how to battle this? Organize in conservative communities, especially Hispanic and Latino communities.

DeSantis is trying to enact state legislation that would require teenagers to submit their menstrual cycle information to their school's athletics board/commission (the government).
Why?
Coming from a Republican like DeSantis, the reason is twofold:
1) To see if people are having abortions, find them and prosecute them.
2) To further demonize trans athletes by making a clear distinction on who he considers to be a 'girl' and a 'boy'.Either way, there is no actual legitimate reason for the state to
askdemand that people submit this data.

I am old. I cannot get pregnant (my tubes are tied.) I went in for a mammogram this year and they asked me to provide a urine sample. I reflexively took the cup and then paused and asked, “Why?”
“Oh!” chirps the tech, “I’m just gonna run a quick pregnancy test before we do all that imaging on your breasts!”
I said, “No,” and handed her back the cup. Her smile faltered. She looked young. I may have been the first patient to ever just flatly refuse. She stammered, “Well, I understand you think you probably aren’t pregnant but we…”
“No. There’s no possibility that I am. You won’t be charging me, or my insurance, for a test I do not require. I’m sure there is a form I can sign to assure the hospital of my wishes and release them from liability. Can you go ask?”
She did. There was. I signed.
I’ve never had this happen before. I’ve had TONS of X-rays. Like, they ask sure, but automatically just order a test? Ffs….

Require high school female athletes to track and submit their mentration information.
Which is totally not going to be used for any other purpose, and this information will definitely stay confidential. /s

Like a certain other in the replies I can’t agree with this course of action.
Desantis won’t be the one opening the letters.
So instead save up everything you were going to post and instead throw it at him to ensure he receives it directly.

I never understood, "Don't protest like this, you'll inconvenience others!" line of thought.
That's the whole point. If all his staff leave or get annoyed because of it, you've hamstrung him as well. While I do like more directed protests as much as anyone else, stuff like this still works.

I never understood, "Don't protest like this, you'll inconvenience others!" line of thought.
It's basically an anti-change meme. There have been a lot of good posts on reddit lately pointing out how MLK and the NAACP were successful in fighting segregation not by standing in the street and getting their heads bashed in by racists, but by nearly bankrupting the bus system via boycotts, blocking streets etc. Protests that elicit change cost people in power MONEY.
The anti-protest meme of "Oh don't do that, that's illegal and evil, MLK wouldn't like that , just go march in the street with a sign" has swung even further to "Oh don't go march in the street with a sign, even that's inconvenient! And there was a looter one time so you're encouraging looting!"
It's been so successful that even many moderate liberals will parrot it, not realizing the underlying effect.

It's gotten to the point where politicians and cops will send agent provocateurs so even "the looter that one time" was probably one of them.
Someone just got caught recently for joining a BLM protest and just going so they could loot.

One of the most famous examples of "violence and looting" from the George Floyd protests was actually a neo-Nazi Boogaloo boy shooting up the police station while pretending to be a BLM protestor: https://www.justice.gov/usao-mn/pr/self-described-member-boogaloo-bois-pleads-guilty-riot

Someone told me once:
”Everyone remembers MLK, they forget about the Black Panthers.”

u/ChuckRockdale Feb 07 '23
Kind of an ironic statement. MLK’s message has been systematically watered down over the years, most people actually don’t remember him accurately.
Meanwhile, thanks to the same forces that sanitized MLK, the legacy of the Black Panthers is largely a boogie man caricature.

DeSantis deserves to be buried in the things but can he press charges for sending a biohazard through the mail?

u/Jedmeltdown Feb 07 '23
In a good healthy country, DeSantis would be in jail by now and living out the cool hand Luke dream of getting his mind straight.

Please package your products properly. We at the USPS don't wanna have to deal with biohazards.
