On this day in 1968 Valerie Solanas shot Andy Warhol in NYC.
She believed that he wanted to steal her work: a play called Up Your Ass. She also wrote the SCUM Manifesto (Society For Cutting Up Men). Richard Avedon photographed Warhol's extensive post surgery scars a year later.
I find it jarring how every woman Ive met. who chose to be childfree always seem to have the patience, income, and mental maturity perfect for raising a child. Yet everytime I see a woman who’s open to having a child they’re the exact opposite.
My boss was joking with me when I came into work today. He rolled his eyes, then smiled and winked at me. I know he’s 93 years old and was probably just teasing, but I hate this internalized feeling that everyone hates me.
