I feel so bad for this lady, but at the same time, imagine if she had simply put out there on Facebook that she was planning to call the restaurant that, instead of going on instinct that it would be fine. Welcome to America lol. Glad it had a happy ending.

lit grad programs are NOT sending their best why did some guy just confidently tell me that there's "far too much emphasis on amateur reading and communicating with non-experts"

humans really saw sexual dimorphism and said "hey that's really cool, let's expand on that" and made an artificial version of it (strictly enforced gender roles based on what kind of junk a person is born with) on top of the baseline dimorphism.

It’s been said but you gotta let people judge you. They’re just gonna. Be your unhinged and truest self and let someone be mad that you’re writing werewolf porn or whatever cause at the end of the day. They’re mad. And you got werewolf porn

Who’s the winner now

i have to wonder what super hardcore militant vegans think should be done about obligate carnivore animals, because in all my painfully-rapidly-approaching-30-years i've literally never actually seen anyone give a clear consistent much less halfway feasible answer on that

[camitos]

conservatives be like you SHOULD be pregnant at a young age but only if it's agaisnt your wishes

[kawee-chan]

[vivalamusaine]

The same way we've been fighting for a $15 an hour work week to the point that it's outdated and needs to be much higher, a 4 day work week is too long and we need to be aiming for 3

Birth and pregnancy need to be talked about openly and frankly without stigma and sugarcoating just like the rest of sex. People need to be able to make an informed decision and we need to respect those decisions without the fog of patriarchal pro-natalist bullshit. I'm an aspiring parent who stans for the childfrees and bodily autonomy. I stan for aspiring queer /trans/ poly parents to have families free from gendered, nuclear family patriarchal BS as well as GD anybody who chooses they want nothing to do with parenthood. Fuck dr's who deny sterilization to adults cuz they "might change their mind" as well as the ones propagating transphobic BS.

I used to sling pregkink art and hashtag not all kinksters are delusional about the realities of pregnancy. Our society is better with fully informed, ready parents, NOT a populace of people forced into a traumatic ordeal just to feed the capitalist meat grinder.

giving birth sucks tbh. not only do you and the baby you’re birthing almost die, usually you shit yourself and often you tear your taint. then you have to push an organ out of your body (placenta) and if even a little of that remains in your body, you can hemorrhage to death or develop an infection that essentially rots your body from the inside out. even if you had a relatively “easy birth”, you bleed for weeks on end. even after that stops, your body and brain is changed for the rest of your life, the pregnancy leeched minerals from your bones, that can cause osteoporosis later. minor urinary incontinence is not uncommon, brain scans of people who gave birth show permanent changes in their brain, you’re never quite the same.

I say all of this not to say giving birth is disgusting but it is a harrowing and visceral experience. society downplays how fucking awful it is and makes it out to be a ~magical~ experience but it isn’t a magical transformative experience for everyone. it can be an extremely traumatic experience for someone who wanted to carry a pregnancy to term, much more so for someone who did not want to be pregnant in the first place or someone who knows their baby won’t survive the birth. anyway, abortion is a right. pregnancy and birth aren’t just inconvenient, it’s fucking awful.

thinking about when montero (the lil nas song) came out I was like idk near the end of hs I don't remember exactly but yeah I was in hs and it was a religious girls school so you can imagine how scandalised everyone was acting and people being like omg so gross keep that to yourself etc and I was like . closeted gay right and also significantly more left than anyone else in my school and they were all soooo shocked and disgusted I was like.huh that music video is pretty cool.

[wolfertinger666]

puritanism and Pearl clutching got so crazy that any body that is non eurocentric and queer and also FAT, is seen as fetish material or scandalous. i don't care about these conservative assholes tho, I will not repress myself to make others comfortable. my body and how I chose to represent it in my art makes me happy. and even if it was fetish material, kink art done by marginalized people is valid. I don't roll with sex negativity here.

Ohhhh boy do I have a rant for this. And literal slides. But in short, I think there's something inherently queer about Pluto's planetary status, and we should stop forcing the label of "planet" on it when it doesn't fit. Dwarf planets are super cool on their own right and we should appreciate them more.
