I have a 1-year old, and I’m here to tell you that sleep deprivation can cause hallucinations and the inability to remember doing things or entire chunks of time. I have often found objects out of place or things fallen over because I forgot I did them. I hallucinated noises, people in the room, animals, and…

I’ve been physically assaulted 3 times on the MTA, likely motivated by my being a visible dyke.

I’m a queer person and my wife is pregnant right now! We def “turkey baster”ed it (lol, more like 5ml syringe - it ain’t that much), so we’re prob part of the unaccounted 37%. Fun fact - sperm banks won’t let gay men donate (for “health” reasons), so going DIY with a gay friend was the only way to keep the whole…

As someone who has been trying to get pregnant for a couple of years now, I can tell you that the heart starts beating 3-4 weeks after conception (“6 weeks” is measured 6 weeks FROM YOUR LAST PERIOD, not from conception). That means it starts beating usually only a week or so after a pregnancy test stick will detect a…

If you read the linked article, one scene shows a woman’s breast being sliced off so he’s... still got it? Ugh.

The guy who made a movie that was literally just lesbian exploitative porn is a sexual predator? HOW oh HOW could this happen??

Similar to this, my wife and I did a tarot reading about a week before the election asking about the upcoming month. We pulled Death crossed by the Tower surrounded by some other ominous signs (like the 7 of Swords - deception, treachery). Simply put - Death is an ending or major change, the Tower is upheaval,…

Well at least it’s consistent with all their other shady business practices.

I’d like to, very much, but I signed an agreement when I quit saying they had the right to sue me if I spoke about anything that negatively affected the companies reputation. They were going to withold my last paycheck if I didn’t sign, and I was not in a financial position to make that choice at the time.

I worked at Refinery29 for several years, and am thoroughly shocked that this is the thing they’re catching flak for. I was so disappointed when I saw them all over the headlines and it was just this.
It’s not the rampant male-female wage disparity, it’s not the sexual harassment and assault that occurs at work and…

It’s a little unfair to assume that lesbians use bi as an intentional stepping stone (thus devaluing it), and not that it’s a smaller step they are forced to make to shift away from heterosexuality. Excluding men as sexual partners is scary, socially ostracizing and dangerous - you can’t expect everyone to dive right…

I am so sorry for your loss, losing loved ones to violent crimes is a special kind of pain. My brother self immolated a few years back and hung on for about 4 months before passing, despite losing much of his body to the fire. The worst part is reminding people that it wasn’t an “accident” or “God’s plan”. He did it,…

I’ve been complaining about this for ages. I work at a company that plays Spotify in reception all day long, and I’m in control of the music. Even though I try my best to make it an even split, it’s almost impossible. Every playlist is majority male unless it’s exclusively stated as “female”, like Women of 90s Rock or…

Honestly, all I want is a lesbian movie that’s not softcore porn tho.

No trans-ness involved, sorry it IS a bit confusing and I misspoke a bit! The gene for hemophilia is carried on the X, but only in the absence of a second X (the presence of a Y chromosome) does the disease present itself. A second X can make up for the abnormal X, but the Y has no way to do so.

When me and my wife started to think about kids she decided she wanted to carry. Unfortunately, hemophilia runs in her family (carried on the male chromosome) so we looked into sperm gender sorting to favor our chances for a girl. Turns out, it’s really hard to get sperm sorting if you don’t have an opposite-sex child…

You didn’t miss much, I’ll transcribe it for you here if you’d like.

Related: I live in NYC and I keep quails in a coop in my backyard (for eggs!) and these city raccoons figured out how to **open the latch** and get in there to eat my quail. This led to a very funny 2am adventure chasing raccoons around my backyard trying to get a quail out of it’s mouth (spoiler: humans are not as…

Thanks all <3
