My arm with a new tattoo, which depicts a New York City building with a fire escape and a water tower on top. The new tattoo is next to an older tattoo, which depicts the Culver Viaduct in Brooklyn.

one of my friends has a six year old who required very little explanation that his Aunt Amy loves another Aunt Amy and that’s just how it is. little dude just accepted it as fact.

(nevermind the fact that my girlfriend and I have the same name and that requires a different type of explanation)

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women β€” and interactions with them β€” through the lens of sex
