#abortion is normal

[theother9tenths]

All I’m saying is that Millie looks at the pregnancy test when the lyrics of the song playing in the background say, “I’m gonna murder you,” and that’s my entire basis for why I think they’re gonna decide to not have the kid thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

god, i love it when a character gets pregnant and i think, ‘i hope they get an abortion,” and then they actually get an abortion.

the fact that all of these things can exist in someone's mind as equally valid and neutral "personal bodily choices" is both frightening and infuriating. anything that involves another person is not strictly a matter of individual bodily autonomy, and anything involving the presence of money being used to influence a choice that would not otherwise be made in its absence is not "autonomy".

deeply disturbing seeing the concept of "having sex for free" lined up here too, as if people somehow forgot that sex doesn't inherently have anything to do with money.

Wow it's actually sad and enraging to see so many people proudly advocating ableism and straight up infanticide (like it's not just abortion anymore). It's escalating so quickly.

People really be casually boasting about being human rights defenders and at the same time dehumanize certain people for selfishness and despair. Where's coherency. Hello? Human dignity depends on a person's "utility" as if we are tools? Depends on their level of intelligence? Depends on how much money they have? Depends on how much of a nuisance they are in our lives? Depends on the stage of biological development they are? Are you really sure???? Just use your brains for a moment and think about what all this implies.

The world is crazy and the fact that people are falling for horrible views about human value so massively and blindly nowadays is a clear sign that the devil exists and is in the details.

I guess there's still much work and prayer to do. Please don't forget that our dignity as human beings is priceless and inherent from the moment of conception till natural death.

MXTX protagonists ranked by how bad their mommy/daddy issues are

Luo Binghe: absolutely nuclear level of mommy/daddy issues. this is the consequence of giving your protagonist two deadbeat dads and two dead moms, and then letting him project all those issues onto his overly indulgent teacher

Wei Wuxian: he could've had perfectly normal orphan levels of parent trauma, but what's that?? IT'S THE JIANG PARENTS WITH A STEEL CHAIR!!! the combo of fear and respect he had for Yu Ziyuan is already bad enough, but then there's also the feeling of responsibility for the Jiang siblings that they put on him, which then leads to, you know, all the Yunmeng sibling problems

Lan Wangji: this dude is so haunted by his father potentially kidnapping his mother and then locking her up and putting himself in seclusion, and this significantly shapes his relationship with Wei Wuxian. plus he took his mother's death really, really badly :(

Shen Qingqiu: he like never mentions his parents?? which is weird, but at least he's not haunted by it. however, he gets the special privilege of being the person exacerbating someone else's mommy/daddy issues. he brought this on himself. he doesn't get to walk out of a confession involving a metaphor where he'd be pregnant with his partner and act like that's normal

Xie Lian: he definitely has trauma surrounding his parents for sure, but they don't seem to have manifested as specifically mommy/daddy issues? it's just, you know. normal grief. honestly, there's so much shit going on with his trauma and baggage that he can't be defined by this one thing

Hua Cheng: does not seem to care about his parents?? at all???? he's presumably an orphan and they're probably the origin of his self worth issues, but like. in the grand scheme of things, they do not seem to be that big of a concern for him. who needs mommy issues when you have devotion to dianxia i guess

The children of Poseidon are fertile, really fertile. Especially during certain lunar periods. Jason has to cope alone when the moon is especially full, almost blue or gold, and Percy curses his father. Even a condom or pills won't help.

okayy, i love this 👀 (honestly surpirsed i haven't actually written mpreg or a/b/o type things, though it's on my Vaguely in the Future List)

i could see this coinciding with jason in a curious way. even though he's not technically part wolf, it's kind of a given he'd have wolf-like behaviors. i'd be curious if these same moon cycles inspire a heat within him (or would it be a rutt? for as much abo as i've read sometimes i get the terms confused). it would be the worst coincidence if the time that jason needs percy most is the time he can't have him due to such a high pregnancy risk.

ofc, when given something tempting & forbidden, the question is who would break first?

you have jason, who continually wants to break out of that box of leadership, who wants to be gentle & take care of percy during these lunar cycles. he wants to respect percy's wishes, because in what world would they be ready for a child? at the same time, though, his mind is screaming at him about how good percy looks (& would look while pregnant 👀), how he needs to mate, etc.

then you have percy, who was always a rule-breaker, though he is serious about the uncertainty of kids. he wants to be responsible in this, to not tie jason down (despite jason being ready to Pop The Question & Die for him at a moment's notice lmao). still, his brain is barraging him with thoughts of what a good dad jason would be, of how much he needs jason to breed him Like Yesterday

ultimately, i think it'd be fun to see like a cat-&-mouse, will-they-won't-they of "i wanna respect your decision but also i'm gonna lose my mind if i can't have you right now" situation on both ends. it would probably end with percy seducing jason ("seducing" being as tame as wearing shorts & eating a popsicle around him tbh, these guys don't take much lmao) before jason is bending percy over the nearest available surface to finally give in, pregnancy or otherwise.

I’m only two and a half books into the Witcher series but I already feel like out of all the fantasy I’ve read, it’s one of the more realistic. Not in a grimdark way but just in a like normal human way. If normal humans lived with fantasy creatures and magic, I would expect them to be this way. Magic exists but Ciri is still too embarrassed to talk about her period. War exists but there are still people willing to take in orphans out of plain goodness and generosity. They even know about germs but Triss can still get gastroenteritis and it’s treated seriously, not as a joke.

It’s interesting how Don probably has the reaction to Joan that’s the closest to what she’s aiming for in the office—he’s charmed by her beauty and style in a heterosexual way without making constant inappropriate comments or even actively wanting to sleep with her, and he cares about her well-being—and it manifests in ways that are deeply unhelpful to her and make her absolutely furious with him.

fifth paragraph of the article my english teacher is having us reading for class starts with "categorically disenfranchising felons has always been, in my view, the intelligent default position"
