I had an abortion.
I’m not going to tell you how old I was when I had it.
I’m not going to tell you what the circumstances around the pregnancy were.
I’m not going to tell you whether birth control was used or not.

Cosmo-not: "Be the Boss in Bed"
fuckyeahsexpositivity:
I’d like to start off by saying that I hate the whole good girl/bad girl dichotomy, and that’s what this tip from Cosmo (That Which Must Never Be Obeyed) is based on. It implies that anything kinky is inherently “bad” and “wicked” (kink-shaming, hello) but note that the specific kink here is specifically “woman on top.” It implies that the woman being on top...

Practical talk:
(grandmother, while making curry, age 71)
Her: I'm tired of listening to young people say that they want a happy life, happy career, happy partner and all that happy stuff without facing pain. When I was young, we admired the person with the most painful life. Wanna know why? Because it made them beautiful. Now this isn't beautiful like those super models on TV and those cheeky girls in movies. I don't like those cheeky girls in those films. No, it made them beautiful because they learned how to endure life and its agony. They knew how to appreciate the little things in life. They were deep, meaningful, beautiful people. Happiness without suffering for a while is hollow. It's empty. Empty is not beautiful. Are you listening? Empty is not beautiful. I'm tired of finding these young people looking to escape when there's so much to learn in this life. One day you're going to thank the pain for giving you the guts you needed to go through life with your head held up high. Pain is important, you understand? It gives you guts, it gives you wings.
Me: Your curry is boiling.
Her: Oh. Yes. Pass me that red spice.

• Use the hand you write with.
• Make a fist with your thumb outside, not tucked inside. If it’s tucked inside your fist, when you punch someone, you might break your thumb. The thumb goes across your fingers, not on the side.
• Don’t be like in the movies—don’t aim for the face. Face punches don’t usually stop people, and you can miss when...

Fucking quit it. You should know by now that respecting and valuing the lives of animals over the lives of people of color is racist.
You do not get to spend hundreds of years dehumanizing groups of people and then tell them “Hey, I know we only very recently started taking you seriously at all,…
