I have never found a birth control option that didn’t make me feel “different”. I was told before each one that this one would be different, no chemicals. But they all sucked. This is why we should be fully supporting free vasectomies for everyone! I’ll even do it!  Read more

These attacks on reproductive healthcare under the guise of “feminist wellness” make me feeling like I’m fucking unhinged. You know what actually makes you “less vibrant”? Being destroyed by unchecked PCOS symptoms. Oral contraceptives are the only solution—short of having a hysterectomy—that relieve me of the Read more

Never apologize, this is the content we crave! Read more

I came down here to rage about how it’s gonna be “Juice” or I’m going to burn down music, but I got distracted from my shitposting by how handsome Idris Elba is.

His face is, like, empirically perfect.  Read more

Haha I hope he appreciates that you managed to save your relationship, because I think you’d have to break up with someone who used your fabric scissors. Read more

My boyfriend picked up my fabric scissors to open a package a few months ago and in retrospect he might not have needed to hear quite so much about ever ruined pair of fabric scissors I’ve ever owned to get my point but boy, he really gets it now! Read more

As a quilter and sewer I literally assumed this was going to be drama of someone using someone else’s fabric scissors on non fabric and I want you to know that in my head I thought war was FULLY justified just based on that. Read more

They missed a huge  opportunity to have  Brienne start her OWN PAGE in the knight’s yearbook or whatever tf that thing is. Instead  she just wrote Jaime’s sweet lil ending and that was it. C’mon!  Read more

HBO was willing to pony up all the money the show needed to made right. The network wanted to finance full length seasons. It was Weiss and Benioff who’d come down with a massive case of senioritis and decided to phone it in so that they could move on to other projects like Confederacy and Star Wars. I thought this Read more

Question - why is there still a Night’s Watch if there are no more Whitewalkers and the Wildlings don’t want to be south anymore? What are they watching now? There’s a giant hole in the Wall. It’s basically a through way. SMH. This show could have been so much better.

Shout out to Sansa though.  She was like, “Northmen Read more

I wasn’t mad at the finale. Just disappointed and confused. They rushed through things so fast, it was like “wait. What?” A lot of things seemed odd. In a hyper masculine and militaristic culture that values physical strength, Bran, the teenage cripple, who talks in riddles and spends his days by a tree living in the Read more

I think genocide in this sense means a large indiscriminate killing of civilians - not a killing based on ethnicity, religion, etc. Read more

I agree that Dany’s plot was built up over many seasons, and it’s in character with consideration of the long arc... but the writers failed to effectively show her transition from rationalizing her acts of violence with rhetoric of being a champion of the oppressed, to just burning a city for funsies that had just Read more

One of the most insidious aspects of TERF rhetoric can be seen throughout their quotes in this article, and that’s the effort to frame their transmisogyny as simply a natural corollary of lesbianism. Of course this is nonsense - for one thing, there are plenty of lesbians who are themselves trans, and for another, Read more

I’m glad that you included the part about how (many) TERFs believe that trans women are somehow the “sleeper agents” of the patriarchy, sent on suicide missions to bust up women’s spaces. There’s plenty of this kind of bigotry-induced nuttiness online, and I think it’s important to bring that stuff to light so that Read more
