Left myself wide open for that one.
But I like my last name, just not my first name.

But why.
Why do I have to be the one to have the baby and be pregnant and do all the stuff required to keep it alive for the first few months and then give it someone else’s last name?
It doesn’t make any sense.
They should just give us all first names only. What’s the point in even having a last name if we’re just supposed to give it away.

Sex-education: far from decent | ABC The Drum →
clambistro:
My dear friend Benjamin Law wrote this excellent piece on the state of sex-ed in Australia, and you should read it.
In one presentation for Year 8 and 9 students, one middle-aged couple declared actor Scarlett Johansson was promiscuous (rather than, say, “responsible”) for publicly declaring she had regular STI checks. They argued condoms were ineffective and “flimsy”, and showed an...

I like when people post their tumblr crushes. It makes it easier for me to find sick blogs to follow.

Just chickened out. But tomorrow morning. It will be done.

A lizard has taken up residence under my desk.
Yes it is small and harmless, but I am terrified of a general majority of reptiles.
I don’t like the way they move.
So now I am sitting in a rather obscene manner (considering the length and shape of my skirt) with my feet up on my chair, afraid to move.

Dear Taylor Swift,
I’m sorry that the boy who is undoubtedly your eternal soul mate is dating Satan and not you. What does this boy see in a girl who wears high heels, short skirts, and is the cheer captain? Doesn’t he know that those are warning signs of a morally depraved female? Clearly you, a glasses-wearing,...

I am cracking massive sads because I have had plans cancelled by the same “bff” that cancels all the damn time and I am wondering why I keep being surprised when it happens. I fake tanned* for this shit man!
And my boyfriend is like, “yep just gonna hang out at home doing nothing tonight” but I really want him to want to go out so I can put on a pretty dress and do my hair...

I think I will need to stop watching, even though I have only just started, because I may actually fall in love with a fictional character and run off and leave my boyfriend for Tim Riggins…

goddammit they make me so pissed off.
First, they don’t let the Women’s or Queer collective have a stall on Market Day, which is the most important day of the year for any club or association. (Market Day is basically the day where all the clubs get a stall and people come to…

Why teens should read raunchy novels and straight... →
“According to enthusiastic reviewer Elaine Blair in the August New York Review of Books, Nicholson Baker’s surreally explicit new title, House of Holes, is ”exactly the sort of filth you’d want them to read first … [It] will introduce impressionable readers to many interesting sexual possibilities without a whisper of stereotype or slur.”

definitiveme:
The first question was a fireball. The bloggers in the room may not have understood it, but it certainly got their attention. A lot of women in the room owe their positions to Steinem, the questioner said. Steinem broke down barriers for women. But looking at today’s generation, did she break down those barriers “so young women today can dress like hookers and be OK with being...
