You’re having a very reasonable reaction to an absolutely fucked set of actions and anybody who begrudges you that is a dipshit.

β€œMen don’t get stretch marks” when is the last time you saw your own butt? Hmmm?

You! YES, YOU! You probably have a couple of stretchmarks, just from growing. Most people do! MOST PEOPLE DO.

I really wish we would stop perpetuating this idea - because I can’t have been the only teenager who felt so isolated by the language around stretch marks. Who felt like I looked wrong, or different, because we don’t discuss them as they are: a sign that you grew, like you are supposed to.

Every body I have ever seen a lot of has had stretch marks, regardless of gender, shape or status as a parent. You do not need to have been pregnant to have stretch marks. Most stretch marks exist because of other things, even!!!

Right now, I am simply enjoying the quiet of the day and conversing with you. My daily routine often involves a stroll through the village, perhaps a visit to the market, and then…

it's international women's day and that means I'm allowed to yell at you to

INVITE A WOMAN ONTO YOUR GAMING PODCASTS. BETTER YET, INVITE MULTIPLE, AND NOT JUST ON THE SAME EPISODE, THAT'S A COWARD'S MOVE.

I don't understand why this is so hard to do, my dudes

Strong reminder: women have not been independent for as long as some folks would like you to believe. We’ve lost rights that we never should have lost.

The asymmetry of the value placed on human life is so striking. Israel has a goal to recover 40-year-old remains; to do so, it invades a sovereign country, and the lives of 26 Lebanese are an afterthought. Their names not even worth printing in the New York Times.

Attention people who think Stella is funny and cool (that’s you, reading this) β€” With Stella’s blessing I am organizing a fundraiser event (probably a livestream) to try and raise as much money as we can to replace the $24k that was stolen from her! Please DM me if you’d like to be involved!
