I just tried to pick up my bc today and the pharmacy said they're switching me to generic cause now my old brand is trying to charge me over $100/month. like whaaaaat. let me live, bc!

 

I think it's close to like $14,000 a year that women have to spend on menstrual stuff.

 

Something good for once

 

Next Monday I will be getting an IUD. Makes me really sad. Lasts 6 years which is great bc I don't know if I want to bring a baby into this fucked up world.

 

Hopefully all goes well for you! IUDs seem pretty great from what I've read about them and my GF really likes hers.

 

I have one and LOVE. changed my life. I'm going to go in and get the 12 year one in spring.

Chorusers! I am making my experimental film final as we speak and I need some help.
It is a self-reflexive piece examining different types of relationships I have with women. I was raised in a more feminine household so I'm curious just to reflect on it a bit. I hope that I am using the right language and sensitivity in this thread, I don't quite fully have a grasp of what I'm trying to accomplish with this final.

I have the opportunity to interview my sister, my grandmas, my mom, a 6-year old that I babysit, a platonic friend, and a romantic interest, but I'm having troubles trying to make shape of this project.

What are some questions you would ask these people about masculinity and femininity?

 

You are really going to have to be more specific, especially as it sounds like this is a pretty personal project - perspective is everything, so I'm not sure how much help randoms on the internet are going to be unless you offer a narrower scope.

 

Thanks for the reply! I actually spent most of the day narrowing it down and yeah, you're right. It's really too personal to be able to get much help from the Internet, haha. But I do appreciate you taking the time to read through my post!

But it's always a woman streamer's fault if she uses her sexuality for her channel exclamation point exclamation point

 

We've all thought this but reading it in text gutted me.

 

The amount of time I spend constantly assessing my own safety in any given moment is depressing if I let myself think about it.

 

Always reminds me of this video:

 

What is that, doesn't work

 

It was the Amber Heard video

 

Of what though exactly?

 

It wasn't working on mobile at the time lol

 

She comes across really genuine. I'm glad she seems to be coping ok. Amazing that she's spreading awareness.❤️
