I have literally never been to a pride parade that didn't have shitloads of straight people showing up. People bring straight friends and family, community members come to watch/support, it's a big party. And yet every year people take it upon themselves to scold bi women.

5. Are left with nothing
I think they should take chromebooks out of classrooms entirely because they’re glorified tablets. Bring back having computer lab as a class so they know how to save documents to their computer and include typing lessons as well
people always joke that you can get the equivalence of an english degree by going to the library, but this is not so. the immortal art of close reading and dialectics must be taught. the truth, however, is you can get a business degree by just watching a few youtube videos
teen me excited to grow up in a society that was become more sex positive, less shameful about women sexuality, and critical of rape culture only for my adult years for ppl to shift right back into unchecked rape culture and shame around sexuality
There’s going to be a lot of pressure on Haley Stevens to drop out of the race, which is typical of the Bernie Bro left that always wants to see women fail. Personally, I would feel betrayed as a woman if she doesn’t hang in there and see this thing through.
