There's finally going to be a period emoji. If you've been waiting to iMenses in your iMessages, thank Plan International, a children's rights organization, which has been campaigning since 2017 for a digital reminder that about, oh, you know, 800 million people around the world deal with periods on the regular.

Today, the ruling emoji organization, the Unicode Consortium, confirmed that a red droplet will be coming to your keyboards this spring. According to Mashable, Plan International spokeswoman Carmen Barlow said that a period emoji "can help normalise periods in everyday conversation" and represents "a huge step towards breaking down a global culture of shame around periods."

Where's the blue balls emoji? Men get that a helluva lot more often than women get their period.

Good. I'm using this emoji on my wife who believes her period has nothing to do with our arguments, except that our only arguments happen during menses.

So glad they finally took care of this. It has been taking up so much time of mine having to worry about it. Thank you.

Grab the brown throw blanket, Sweetheart, and thanks for the text heads up.
