If men had truly loved women, history would tell a different story.
You don't love someone.
while denying them freedom, education, bodily autonomy, and a voice.
Fascism does not arrive saying “I am fascism.” It arrives saying “law and order,” “border security,” “anti-woke,” “election integrity,” and “national emergency.”
The reason why The US hasn’t apologized or given reparations for the genocide of Black Americans, is because you can’t apologize for something you’re actively doing.
"I have a boyfriend" doesn't stop them.
"I’m married" doesn't stop them.
However, “I love luxury and expensive things"
that one clears the room every time.
Notice how "girls mature faster" is never stated as a reason to why girls should be given more positions of power and authority? It only works to hold girls to greater accountability than boys and to justify men's attraction to them.
After giving birth, a woman's internal wounds take six months to heal, 12 months for physical recovery, two years for hormonal balance, and up to five years to rediscover her identity. Relationships frequently fail during this time due to a lack of understanding. Be kind and patient with new mothers; they are facing more challenges than it appears.
In 1943, Swiss chemist Albert Hofmann accidentally absorbed a tiny amount of LSD through his fingertips and spent the afternoon mildly hallucinating at his desk. Three days later he accidentally took 10 times than the standard recreational dose.
He drank what he believed was a cautiously small dose, and unknowingly took ten times a modern recreational amount with no frame of reference whatsoever.
At precisely 4:20pm on April 19, Hofmann dissolved 250 micrograms in water and drank it.
By 5:00pm his lab journal entries were deteriorating. Dizziness. Anxiety. Visual disturbance. Writing became impossible.
He asked his assistant to take him home. Wartime Basel had banned private cars, so the only option was a bicycle.
He spent the ride convinced his neighbour was a witch and that he had gone permanently insane. April 19 is now celebrated annually as Bicycle Day.
Hofmann later discovered that 20 to 30 micrograms were sufficient for noticeable effects. He had taken more than twelve times that amount.
He lived to 102, took small doses for the rest of his life, and called LSD his "problem child." He never regretted discovering it.
Patriarchy is so deeply rooted that a woman sacrificing her body to give birth is treated as normal,
While a man washing a few dishes is treated like a hero.
I once DM’d someone who was constantly criticizing me online and asked why they hated me.
His response changed how I think about the internet.
Full conversation with Eugene and Brené Brown is up now.
The longer you look, the more fascinating it becomes…
William Holman Hunt’s The Awakening Conscience (1853) captures the moment a young woman abruptly rises from her lover’s lap, as if struck by a sudden realization.
What stands out most is her expression. She seems to recognize the hollowness of her circumstances in an instant, while the man beside her appears confused, continuing to play the piano without understanding what has changed.
Hunt packed the painting with symbolic details. A cat toying with a trapped bird, tangled yarn scattered across the floor, and sunlight pouring through the window all reinforce themes of captivity, liberation, and the possibility of redemption.
Look closely at her hand and you’ll notice several rings—yet none on her ring finger.
