Ohio passes 'heartbeat' abortion bill; leader cites Trump's election

Any Ohioans in here need to get on the phone with John fucking Kasich right now and tell him to veto this shit. This would be, I believe, the strictest antiabortion leg. in the country, with no exceptions for cases of rape or incest, and no access to abortion at the earliest sign of a heartbeat (possible at 4-6 weeks). 614-466-3555

If you are an Ohioan, make sure to leave your ZIP Code, they use it to track opinion (they have stopped answering calls so you can only leave voicemails). Folks from outside the state are also welcome to make calls, too.

Anti-Choice Politician Says He’s ‘Never Thought About’ Why Women Choose Abortion

 

I have been rewatching Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Even in season six, they were on point about how nerd culture was misogynistic and how pervasive toxic masculinity was, even in those who are the "good guys", e.g., Xander's policing of Anya's sexuality.

that Alessia Cara article being about feminism but starting off with the author describing her makeup and clothing is jarring

 

❤️ Alessia Cara. Her feature on JoJo's new release is so good.

And

 

That was a favorite show of my mom's when I was growing up. It was the first show that ever sparked a conversation between us about the importance of strong female characters. it was those conversations that lead to me understanding sexism's role in my parent's divorce, and in my mother's social position in the small conservative town we lived in at the time.

Show will always stick with me for that alone.

Last week I had a breakdown over the racial attacks in the US and told my mom about it. Her response was "I know you won't like this theory, but it could be hormonal issues, I know PMS is a huge deal for me..." blah blah blah. I don't even have the desire to respond to that. Times like these are when I'm glad I don't live at home anymore cause damn mom, what the fuck.

I know it's been a while, but I've had some changes in my life, so hi everybody!

 

Hello Keri!

Man, I'm sorry your mom is trying to blame being emotionally wrecked by all the terrible shit in the world as "PMS." :/

 

Kasich is a POS.

 

6 weeks was always the distraction for 20 weeks, fuck all that so hard
