My running theory is that she felt putting her face onto these other women’s faces would humanize them. ‘Cause, you know, only white people are really human.

Stupid is as stupid does.

Probably because then she wouldn’t be the center of attention. They’d be saying how beautiful these women are not her.

She's essentially creating the conditions (the gradual disappearance of said tribe through erasure, that she claims to be fighting against) by centering her own non-African body. Europeans are something else.

Virginia has a revenue-sharing license plate. In the alphabetical list, it’s listed as “Trust Women.”

I give $5 dollars a month ( hopefully more soon) to the Gulf Coasts Texas PP. starting that donation flagged up my card for fraud ( Irish people generally aren't donating to Texas apparently) and I ended up having to ring the bank to verify my transaction. I ended up talking to the lovely women on the phone about my…

I’m sure this is in the comments somewhere, but Planned Parenthood is on option on Amazon Smile. A portion of the proceeds of all your Amazon purchases goes to the organization of your choice. It's not much, but every little bit helps!

Sorry I just realized - what I meant was, there are countless women who struggle with the very issue you are struggling with. There are OB/GYNs who work with women at risk or have been assaulted.

It wasn’t as a child, but hi- I’m a rape survivor too. Sex is way better for me now- because I have someone I really trust, and for for years I dealt by becoming hypersexual but with no emotion. Clinical stuff is still really hard for me (so probably different for you, but my experience so take what you want). When it…

Thank you!! :) Here is the tattoo:

I’m a gay man so I have no personal experience with Pap smears but I know you should get one somehow. You can tell doctors anything and everything, as you should. My advice would be, think “I’m better than the asshole who raped me and I’m going to outlive him, that monster.” And one of the ways you’re going to outlive…

I swear I’m not a pill pusher, but I feel like it is totally reasonable to request some sort of anti-anxiety med to help. If I was a doctor I would be willing to let you take a Valium before hand.

Echoing the therapist advice, also the therapist might be able to recommend an OB/GYN who works with women with your issues - and believe me, there are countless.

Definitely alert your doctor before the test that you’re a survivor—any doctor who is at all competent will have experience dealing with trauma survivors and know how to walk you through it in an appropriately sensitive way. You might consider asking for a benzo to take beforehand to calm your anxiety if you think…

I first dated my bfnd because he played Morris Day and the Time records.

This is one of the cuts on that record. It was produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, which shouldn’t surprise you. Morris makes me so happy.

What possible reason could a young mother with multiple children have for carrying a loaded firearm on a shopping trip to Wal-Mart?! Wal-Mart is a threat to the economy but guns aren't going to do shit to stop that.
