the “do you want to [thing they don’t want to do] right now, or in five minutes” method of getting a kid to do what you want genuinely hilarious, and very effective.
anyways, the two-party system is
Great art, sadly there is definitely a man jacking off to this somewhere. And he is looking like a millimeter away from that baby's head. Not the choice I would made tbh.
What do we think of the new Halsey album cover gyns??? This is a censored version, her entire boob is out in the actual cover. Tbh I’m really disturbed by the recent trend of women being partially naked on their album covers.
Here’s what Halsey said about this cover: “This album is a concept album about the joys and horrors of pregnancy and childbirth. It was very important to me that the cover art conveyed the sentiment of my journey over the past few months. The dichotomy of the Madonna and the *****. The idea that me as a sexual being and my body as a vessel and gift to my child are two concepts that can co-exist peacefully and powerfully. My body has belonged to the world in many different ways the past few years, and this image is my means of reclaiming my autonomy and establishing my pride and strength as a life force for my human being.
This cover image celebrates pregnant and postpartum bodies as something beautiful, to be admired. We have a long way to go with eradicating the social stigma around bodies & breastfeeding. I hope this can be a step in the right direction!”
I hate the idea that women need to be sexual in order to reclaim their ‘autonomy’, and that they need to be sexual in order to show that they’re worthy of being admired.
I grew up with some very strange tarot traditions, and I wonder how many others did too.
Your deck must be a gift.
You cannot accept money for readings. The only thing you may accept in exchange is other, equal magic, or food.
Cards ought be read by candlelight.
Wash your hands 3 times before reading.
Readings must be done in person, because the subject must cut the deck.
Readings are best done inebriated, to blur the veil.
Cards should remain bound when not in use.
Always perform a reading for yourself before doing one for another person, to focus yourself.
When you read by candlelight, you cannot blow the candles out. You have to snuff them instead. Or, better, have someone else snuff them (but not blow them out).
I think the two that people disagree with most are not buying your own deck and conducting readings without the person present. But this is how I learned, and I wonder who else learned the same way.
if you’re going to make these assumptions that non-asexual people are “sex-happy,” have sex frequently or at all, have uncomplicated relationships to sex, are sexually attracted to strangers or other people they don’t have a strong bond with, etc., then you have to accept that there are TONS of people who fit your definition of asexual who are not part of any identifiable asexual community, who may not ever identify as asexual, who do not necessarily agree with any theories, politics, or systems of identification developed by asexual communities, but whose feelings and ways of relating to sexuality are just as valid as yours, and you have no way of knowing who they are. and when you assume that someone must not be one of these people, must embody every expectation you have about non-asexual people, solely because they do not identify as asexual, you are making very invasive and inappropriate assumptions about another person’s personal, private sexual feelings and that is not okay. and in particular when you do this to lgbt people, women, people of color, and especially people at the intersections of those groups, you are reinforcing ideas about their relationships to sexuality that play a significant role in their oppression.
Hey if you're looking for work in Worcester a new 'queer women' bar looking for staff. Check it out.
Not specifically female only but spaces like this are still mostly women and generally a good time.
Also want to plan a visit once it opens.

Watching women fight in MMA is always slightly ridiculous when you know any average male fighter would wipe the floor with them in seconds.
My spark of life is being reignited. My passion is being rekindled. My desired are being purified. I am becoming the master of my life force. I am taking my power back.
the original gay pride flag includes sex and that’s about as ace exclusionist as you can get
So imagine that the roads you drive on every day are filled with potholes that make commute unbearable. And imagine there are people with pickaxes who deliberately dig holes in the road. You're like isn't it awful that those potholes are there.
But then someone's like well some countries have mud roads, why complain. And another one's like the pickaxe wielders are only doing this because they're really sad and need a purpose in life. And another one's like those other drivers with big trucks don't feel anything so there really is no issue, buy shock absorbers. Another one's like actually the bumps in the road are comforting to me because they've been there my whole life, the roller coaster builds character.
Then the ones who do realise yeah there are holes in the road will talk about how bad it is but then they never bring up maybe stopping the pickaxers from digging the holes, or get some asphalt to fill them in, or build the roads better. And then when you do it's like whatttt that takes work. On second thought I feel bad for the pickaxers. Maybe we should start digging holes too, then we have control over where the holes are. Let's throw rocks at anyone who tries to stop them. And you feel like everyone else in the room is crazy and you're the only sane one, or vice versa, you can't tell anymore. That's what being a radical feminist feels like.
