If It Wasn't About Controlling Women, They'd Pass Legislation About What Men Can Do With Their Bodies.

If it wasn't about controlling women, they'd pass legislation about what men can do with their bodies. They'd press for male birth control and vasectomies to be the rule rather than the exception. And if they were truly "pro life" they wouldn't be introducing a bill that punishes women who get abortions with the death penalty (looking at you Texas, you bassakwards mf'er).

If this isn't one of the most accurate things I've ever seen.

For years I have actively avoided all things super hero related for various reasons, but mostly because Marvel makes it all look like a bunch of white boys running around fighting which gets old. Thanks to DC's Legends of Tomorrow and Supergirl, I have changed my mind. Not only do I ship Avalance and Dansen so hard (without those couples I'd have never given the shows a chance), but I love how both shows bring representation of so many to the forefront and I'm a sucker for how much they promote positive relationships in all forms; i.e. female friendships, close male friendships, strong support systems for friends/partners, sincere apologies when someone fraks up, but the others forgive and help them be better without guilt.

Wow. Can honestly say, I never thought of it this way, but it has truth behind it.

"No pocketless people has ever been great since pockets were invented, and the female sex cannot rival us while it is pocketless."

"It’s not merely that women will strut with their hands in their pockets, on point to challenge men; it’s that women’s pockets could carry something secret, something private, or something deadly."

A little late in the day, but whatever. I was waiting for the perfect pic. Happy Lesbian Visability Day!! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

why you should keep writing your story

because it’s a puzzle no one else will ever arrange the same way as you.

because there are ideas that simply won’t come to you until you write down the wrong words.

because all the bad scenes are the bones of the wonderful scenes.

because someone will love it: someone will read it once, and twice, and thrice; someone will ramble to you about the complexity of it; someone will doodle your characters out of love; someone will find it in exactly what they were looking for with or without knowing it.

because they have things to say, your characters. they’ve told you all those secrets and they have more to tell you, if you will listen.

because you love it even when you don’t; even when it drives you mad or when it accidentally turns into apathy; even when you think you’re doing it all wrong; you love it, and it loves you back.

because you can get a treasure even from things that go wrong; because if a story crumbles down you can build a shinier one on the same spot; because you won’t know where it will take you until it takes you there.
