I, too, own this fella and they brighten each day.
People will tell you we have come really far, and that's true. It is also true that we are in the middle of a fascist backlash against women's rights that will have you thinking that anyone who acknowledges sex and gender is perverse and needs to be silenced.
Happy International Women's Day from your favourite International Woman. To celebrate, why not buy a book about medieval women's history, the cover of which will be marked as offensive on this website?

How did Spain do it then?

I think Britney should be whisked from place to place in a palanquin or some other suitably elegant conveyance
driving is for mortals
OK now we are cooking.
I think it's also a bit off, because we have a specific word for this in Spanish. I always say 'Soy Estadounidense' if asked about it*, and like, that's the word. So actually we absolutely can see that some people want the distinction.
*(I do just go incognito as Irish or Czech a lot, cuz I can.)
IDK get off her roads if you can't take it.
I think Britney Spears should be allowed to drive drunk.
Well well well, if it isn’t the people who suck doing some more shit that sucks

Can we make him eat any more books?
it's important, imo, to understand that our govt are not trying to do good things and failing. they're extremists doing *exactly* what they want to do. they just thought they would continue to get away with it

Well, here’s the thing about being antiwar as an ethical belief: it means you end up opposing most wars. Almost all of them, in fact. This is quite common in people who have consistent beliefs but looks insane to people who have none, or mostly just believe superior people should make the decisions.
I've said this elsewhere, but women don't need to literally stop having sex with men en masse for us to be treated like we're on a collective sex strike. The potential for us to keep being more autonomous and exercise alternative options is being treated just like one, and invites backlash.
Every day I see multiple messages to “boycott this company because they’re Nazis“ and at some point it will be worth reckoning with the fact that the entirety of the capitalist class are Nazis
never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.
