i had dream last night that my boyfriend kept using the word ‘twat’ and i was telling him how it makes me feel sick to the stomach when men use that word and trying to explain why.
Told him about the dream, don’t think he got it :S
In fundamental ways, it is girls and women around the world, especially in the Third World/South, that bear the brunt of globalization. Poor women and girls are the hardest hit by the degradation of environmental conditions, wars, famines, privatization of services, and deregulation of governments, the dismantling of the welfare states, the restructuring of paid and unpaid work, increasing surveillance and incarceration in prisons, and so on. And this is why a feminism without and beyond borders is necessary to address the injustices of global capitalism.

Not being assaulted is not a privilege to be earned through the judicious application of personal safety strategies. A woman should be able to walk down the street at 4 in the morning in nothing but her socks, blind drunk, without being assaulted, and I, for one, am not going to do anything to imply that she is in any way responsible for her own assault if she fails to Adequately Protect Herself. Men aren’t helpless dick-driven maniacs who can’t help raping a vulnerable woman. It disrespects EVERYONE.
i do this loads :’)

Anyone who’s spent a fair amount of time living in a fat body understands that when you’re eating something you become hypervisible. That the people around you will scope what you’re eating and cast judgement on you. Often times you can be served the wrong order in restaurants….
but people insist on this bullshit that fat-shaming it toatz all about health, they reaallyy caree y’know!! LOL
But yeahh, definitely feel the thin-privilege.
this weekend i’ve gone from not caring about the queen, to hating the queen.
that moment when you remember you had ~plans~ to masturbate but now it’s 3 AM and you’re too tired
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense.

i always read this when i go for a wee in the boyfriend’s mum’s downstairs toilet, bet you’re glad to know that :)
