Not Feminism 101

My ex-bff was great with cars. That’s the one thing I miss about her.

I took Auto Shop in high school. I think it should be required, not an elective. Okay, so maybe a person can’t do the heavy work needed at times, but at least if they have a working knowledge of same they’ll know whether or not they’re getting rooked. (is “rooked” still okay to use?)

How long until someone sues each department store in Texas for providing coathangers?

Now I’m wondering if someone will sue those farm supply stores which fail to verify that anyone buying vet medicine is buying it for vet use.

American healthcare is so fucked up, esp. reproductive healthcare, that any such lawsuits probably would make it harder for some people to access needed medicine. And not just quack treatments which hurt their users and prolong the pandemic.

Just the title of the article made my brain go ngog-ngog, to the point where I’m like, “do i wanna read this?”

Addendum. I didn’t.

Heartbreaking. And yet so normalized.

Oh, I know. Like, I used to be so accommodating as a teenager because that’s what the standard was. But I knew virginity had a certain value, so I hung on to it for a while, at least compared to my peers.

The old “oh but I’ll get blue balls line”…how old is that chestnut (pun intended)?
