i like how their first instinct is "it’s fake food" and not "it’s poor quality produce that wasn’t conserved properly in the supply chain" so now instead of advocating for better food regulations they just spat out conspiracy theories online
an incomplete list of palestinians who were martyred in 2022.
they are labelled by name, age, and location of where they were martyred.
this was one year before october 7th.
i remember that reading about a young girl who committed suicide because she thought her period was the loss of her virginity educating children on puberty is undeniably important....
The problem gentlemen is you think "rapist" means scary man in a hoodie lurking in an alleyway at 3am. Of course you'd block that guy.
But it's the boyfriend you really loved who was angry that you hadn't wanted sex for two days and pinned you for the bed and then felt really bad about it.
It's the really sweet guy backstage who you loved working with for the whole production who knew you only wanted to be friends and then got you drunk at the after party and raped you in a dressing room.
It's the husband who whined and pleaded for sex long after you've said no for hours and refused to take no for an answer until you gave in every night for four years until you realised what it was.
It's the childhood friend who knows your parents and is your brother's best mate who suddenly attacked you when you were 17 and then told you he'd be thrown out of Oxford if you said anything.
It's the kind colleague who offered to drive you home from that conference when there was a train strike and then forced his hands into your pants in a lay-by and then threatened to leave you there at 3am if you didn't stop being a cockteasing bitch.
We're not dumb. We see the constant attempts to make anything short of stranger with a knife made up, regret, our fault really, a matter of the woman not being clear.
We know why you keep trying to make this 'not rape'. Because if coercion, marital rape, pressure, manipulation and exploitation count, then the comforting fantasy that rape is only ever a stranger with a knife falls apart.
If a couple is not ready to have :
- a gay kid 🏳️🌈
- a trans kid 🏳️⚧️
- a disabled kid 🌸
- a non-religious kid ✝️
- or a kid who’s different in general 🍀
Then they should NEVER have kids ✌🏻
also kinda funny that the obvious scary thing re the backrooms (you get lost and can’t find your way out) is the one thing that doesn’t actually happen in the movie
When my younger sister got her first period, she was oddly proud.. like she’d just been initiated into something she didn’t fully understand yet.
A little later she asked, “Okay… but how long do I have to go through this?”
I said, “Three to five days each month.”
She shook her head. “No, I mean when does it stop forever?”
So I told her the truth: “About forty years. Until menopause.”
She went completely silent.
Then she looked at me and said, “So you’re telling me… this isn’t temporary. This is just my life now.”
And for a second, the whole room felt heavier—like she’d just realized something no one ever really prepares you for.
