It should be socially unacceptable to come to work with a cold or similarly contagious disease.

[infraredarmy]

It should be socially unacceptable to make your workers come to work with a cold or similarly contagious disease.

[shoggoth-the-bitch]

It should be socially unacceptable to pay your employees so little that they have no choice but to come in with a cold or similarly contagious disease.

[jakemorph]

it should be legally obligatory to go into the office of your senior officer when down with a cold or similarly contagious disease and sneeze all over the motherfucker

[cc-stache]

In some states, it is a misdemeanor to go into public with a cold or virus, but look how often it is enforced.

[breakthecitysky]

This is not as melodramatic as it sounds:

Get that IUD. Stock up on birth control. Snag some morning after pills. Get a passport/make sure yours is updated.

What’s next at the Supreme Court will set us back generations.

Roe will be overturned as soon as they get that seat filled and if you think I’m exaggerating I’d urge you to look at the opinions this term and then consider what happens when all we have are Ginsburg, Sotomayor, and Kagan filing gorgeous, fiery dissents that will make absolutely no difference in what will come to pass.

Especially if you live in a state with a “trigger” law.  Do it. Do it now, uterus owners. Protect yourself while you still can. 

[francesca-feasts]

I was just discussing this. I think I’m going to.

[thatdiabolicalfeminist]

If you have the resources to do so, stock up on birth control, emergency contraception, etc., even if you personally won’t need/use them. There may be a LOT of need later on that you could help with.

there’s this moment of awareness for a girl when she realizes her legs (and/or arms, armpits, upper lip…) are unacceptable.

she’s just minding her own business, bopping along, when maybe a classmate starts mocking her for having visible body hair. or she goes to a sleepover and someone points out that her legs look different from all the other girls’. or she walks in on her mom shaving and asks why, and the answer is “because a woman’s body looks nicer this way.” or maybe her mother or sister actually approaches her and says, “looks like it’s time you learned to shave that jungle.”

the point is, the day before that realization, however it happened, the girl didn’t give a shit about her hair. she put on shorts and tank tops without a second thought. she didn’t feel unclean. she didn’t feel like a monster when she looked in the mirror (at least not because of body hair). her hair didn’t stop her from riding a bike or climbing a tree.

only after someone draws her attention to it does she start feeling self-conscious and wanting to remove it. removal, in this culture, is never a choice made free of coercion. it’s never born of a girl’s own naturally occurring desires. the seed of shame was planted in her by someone else (family, friends, bullies, magazines, razor commercials) and chances are that seed will stay with her forever- a sinking realization that her body can be wrong, that she can look ugly or dirty even when clean, that a thing she never even noticed about herself before should be a source of retroactive humiliation.

that feeling is like a scar. every time we look at it, the humiliation and judgment we experienced as kids comes rushing back and the little nasty patriarchal voice in our heads (the same one that says shit like “jesus you’re getting fat,” “ugh why did you think you could pull off this outfit,” “god who would ever want to touch THOSE boobs,” etc) says “ugh, looks like it’s time I shaved that jungle.” and it’s just parroting back what we’ve already been told.

[cc-stache]

Same thing goes for a bra, honestly. I vividly remember being told as a nine year old girl by another nine year old girl that I “should start wearing a bra.” Until then, the idea that other people could be looking at my breasts had never occurred to me, and suddenly, I had to hide parts of my body away for the patriarchal idea that breasts are mere sexual objects. I haven’t worn a bra for years now, and yet I still find myself battling a deeply rooted shame that I am wrong and that I am not doing right by my body. I still find myself censoring/changing my outfit to conceal my nipples, knowing good and well that all people have them.

[cc-stache]

I have a 101 year old resident and every time she sees the vegetables on the dining menu, she says, “Oh god you’d think they’d come up with something new by now.”

@oneofthemtheaternerds i am so sorry i failed to adequately represent you in this post. it is important to me to represent all straight people equally, so i have added another box -inspired by what you have said- to fully account for straight culture in all its depth. apologies again for the oversight.
