has my face changed, baby?

white women in the us have had the right to vote for 106 years. that is such a middling number of generations back. my great-grandmother grew up during the great depression and like. i knew her. she was a person alive in my life. and she was part of the generation of my family that included the first women who grew up with the right to vote. isn't that crazy. i was born with the right to vote and so was my mom and grandma and great grandmother but not anyone else. that's as far back as it goes. 106 years. i'm always thinking about this these days i'm always thinking about how rights are much less entrenched in history than they seem . and this makes me incredibly unforgiving to passive misogyny. NOT funny DIDN'T laugh misogyny impacts every woman alive every day in one thousand ways . i hope that in fifty years or whatever someone asks me if [aspect of misogynistic culture] really used to be true because it sounds so crazy and egregious and would never happen in 207X. my point is i am getting meaner about misogyny and you should too because not only is it an extremely big deal but every feminist norm and right you've grown up with is so incredibly new.

ultimately though I think children get too much blame for being the source of nonsense online. mind you there was an era of this website where people in their 30s and 40s with their own kids were full-time dedicated to 'ace discourse' on their blogs

"it's a tv show" "it's not real" i don't care. NO SHOES ON THE BED

seething about the fact that i will never experience photosynthesis in my own useless cells. i bet it feels so good when the light of the sun both warms you and fuels you at the same time. a bone-deep satisfaction mixed with a heated sugar-rush and endless brightness. not that i would fucking know

The vagina is a muscle. There are a bunch of other muscles around it that expect it to be a particular strength and shape. If it atrophies they can get out of balance, which is what causes the cramping. Please get treatment for atrophy if you can!

I hate cigarettes so much I hate that smoking is becoming cool again I hate that we're becoming contrarian hipsters about this disgusting habit that has literally killed so many people and destroyed so many lives I'm so serious we need to become absolute killjoys about this again it's time to go 90s scolds on cigarettes until the scourge is wiped out entirely.

like did you know that trees lower the surface temperature by up to 19° and grass by up to 24°... access to green space is access to safety in a climate crisis and it is a massive site of inequality because poorer areas tend to have less green space and thus get hotter. urban trees are an equality issue as well as a climate issue. sorry it's not a magic bullet that solves everything but sometimes you need to pick an issue that helps a bit and focus on that. this might not be yours. it's likely going to be mine in the future when my health issues allow me to take it on. if we each pick a thing we can make a difference
