UNCLENCH. I MEANT UNCLENCH

you will never catch me complaining about an actress on a tv show having an imperfectly concealed pregnancy or a character going on a sudden trip somewhere while her actress is on maternity leave. so many actresses (and women working in any other field) are fired, punished and pressured into making reproductive decisions for their employers' convenience & if i have to try a bit harder to suspend my disbelief then that's absolutely what i'm going to do if it means people are getting to exercise reproductive & bodily autonomy without punishment

My favorite writing of this was how Star Trek DS9 handled Nana Visitor's pregnancy. It felt out of character for her character (Kira Nerys) to get pregnant and it's the semi-utopian future, so presumably birth control works quite well and abortions are easily available. Solution: another female character gets pregnant, is injured in an emergency situation, and Kira agrees to act as surrogate. They effectively wrote this entire story line well enough, with implications for the dynamics between Kira and the biological parents, that I didn't realize until later that the actress was actually pregnant. I thought it was just an interesting plot line.

still living with my parents as an adult is just like. i'm grateful to not have to pay for groceries. i have to get out of here. i'm grateful to have a roof over my head and not have to pay rent. i have to get out of here. i'm grateful to not have to worry about sending out endless job applications that all lead to nowhere. i have to get out of here. i'm grateful i'm grateful i'm so fucking grateful. i have to get out of here

YES

Just Marlon Wayans bullying his son in public by presenting a hate crime as funny; this is the state of American comedy.

this is exorsexism

I love how new hobbies just make you notice things that would otherwise go completely over your head. I’ve only been knitting for about a month, but now I can’t help but look more attentively at the clothes people wear. I used to never pay attention to any of that, but now I find myself appreciating how certain sweaters drape so nicely and being proud of recognising how different items must have been made! Gosh it took so so so little to change how I see the world around me. I wonder how many other things I’m completely missing
