blogging is great for me because i love archiving pointless things

Can we stop with the character development. Where's my beach episode.

Dahling you simply must read this book! It’s all about this devious little caterpillar who simply gorges himself on all manner of divine things

it’s so magical and beautiful that there are sprawling interconnected cave systems carved deep into the earth by various geological forces and you don’t have to go in them. there are miles and miles of stone passageways in total darkness that require you to exhale all the air out of your lungs to squeeze through parts of them and you don’t have to be there. some of these squeezes are underwater and require cave divers to take off their oxygen tanks and push them through ahead of them and me i am above ground looking at the sky as we speak. there are untold subterranean wonders no human has ever seen and i will not be the one to discover them #grateful #blessed

I think a lot of people have only a surface level understanding of bodily autonomy. I've talked to people who are pro surrogacy and pro sex industry because they think women should be able to do what they want with their bodies, including sell them. But under that model, you're selling away your own bodily autonomy. You cannot be fully in control of yourself while under financial coercion. You can't have the choice to end a surrogate pregnancy at any time when you rely on that money to get by, and the same for women in the sex industry. You cannot consent to sex when the alternative is not having enough money to pay rent. The buying and selling of bodily functions is a removal of autonomy, not an expression of it.
