A Book Review: The Diary of a Whimsical Lover by Gaurav Sharma

A Book Review: The Diary of a Whimsical Lover by Gaurav Sharma

What’s one-sided love like? It’s like a dream! You die every day in the desire of living it. A love that goes unrequited is a giant pain in the arse.

Women Are Tired of Defending Their Bodily Autonomy

Women Are Tired of Defending Their Bodily Autonomy

When I was growing up, I was convinced that by the time I became an adult, I wouldn’t have to argue about my rights as a woman. I also didn’t think I’d be watching panels full of men discussing what should or should not be done with a uterus which does not belong to them.
