Some nights I wake and everything hurts a little. It is amazing how long a ruined thing will burn.

If we went home from our 9 - 5 jobs with 3 - 4 hours of extra work every day, we’d lose our minds. But we do it to high school kids and see absolutely no problem with it.

Idk how to break it to you, but women do this all the fucking time. I see my mother in law, who is a vet and makes more than her husband does as an optometrist, come home after hours of standing, performing surgeries, wrestling with large dogs and getting bitten on the reg, to cook elaborate dinners for the family while her husband takes a nap or looks at his iPad for a few hours… if you look at the hetero adults in your life you can see this dynamic play out over and over again. Maybe men come home and get to stop working, but women work full time jobs and come home to work for 3-4 hours all the time.

In the Netherlands, abortion is freely available on demand. Yet the Netherlands boasts the lowest abortion rate in the world, about 6 abortions per 1000 women per year, and the complication and death rates for abortion are miniscule. How do they do it? First of all, contraception is widely available and free — it’s covered by the national health insurance plan. Holland also carries out extensive public education on contraception, family planning, and sexuality. An ethic of personal responsibility for one’s sexual activity is strongly promoted. Of course, some people say that teaching kids about sex and contraception will only encourage them to have lots of sex. But Dutch teenagers tend to have less frequent sex, starting at an older age, than American teenagers, and the Dutch teenage pregnancy rate is 9 times lower than in the U.S.

teaching children that they are allowed to walk away and cool off if they are feeling overwhelmed might literally save their life as teens/adults

Trans kids are not a threat.

( from the trans rights rally at post office square in boston, 2/23/17. )

[alisonsudol]

trans kids are indeed not a threat- rather, the opposite, they’re particularly vulnerable- and we need to protect them amongst ourselves now, since the higher-ups in our government clearly won’t. if you’re a trans kid out there, I can imagine it’s pretty tough at the moment, but just know, you matter, you are beautiful just as you are, and we will get through this crazy time together. stay strong. with love.
