Junk and Stuff

As a reminder, District 6 is Sherlock. The tributes from this district are Bee and Kales. If you want to help keep these two tributes from starving during the games reblog this to show your support!

How this works: A food product will be banked in the sponsor shop for each 250 notes that this post recieves, and will be used to keep the tributes hunger status up. This hunger status is ranked from “well fed” to “hungry” to “starving”. If a tribute becomes starving they lose one ticket. Then for every day (prompt) they remain starving they will lose an additional ticket. However, if their district has food banked in the sponsor shop the tribute will use that gift (instead of becoming starving), and no tickets will be lost. So this is very important!

There is no limit on the number of times, or the number of blogs that you use to reblog this post. So go crazy!

This post will be active from today (May 27th), and will be closed down only when both tributes from this district have died.

Abortion Experience

fuckyeahsexeducation:

TW: abortion

My mom and dad had initially made the decision to abort me. They were only about 23 years old, and recently out of college. They hadn’t been seeing each other very long, weren’t married, and there were a number of other complications. At the last minute (literally on the way to the clinic for the appointment) my mom changed her mind.

It was kind of a shocking thing for me to learn, when she told me. But it’s also one of the things that I think is most powerful about who I am: I was chosen, absolutely and undeniably. My mom decided that she wanted me, that whatever happened and however it would change her life, she wanted me.

Had she decided to have an abortion, however, that choice would have been equally powerful. If she had gone through with the abortion, it would have been because she honestly believed that it was the best decision for not only her, but for me as well. There are far, far too many children in the world who go through their lives feeling unloved and unwanted by the people who brought them into it. It does not by any means make their lives less worthwhile—but it’s certainly not a kind way to come into the world.

From the moment my mother made her decision, I was protected from ever having to be one of those children. Without that choice, my mom would be a different parent, and I would be a different person. It is not the fact that I was born that’s significant; it’s the fact that I was chosen.

Ever wonder why I’m on a feminist rampage?

extantecstasy:

Because the media reacts like this when we’re less than perfect. Because our emotional range gets stunted and limited.

Because so many aspects of our culture normalize rape on a subconscious level.

Because Kansas and Arizona pass bills that allows the beliefs of a doctor or pharmacist to trump the health of a woman. And because fetuses are becoming increasingly more important than the woman carrying them.

Because a state representative can compare a woman giving birth to livestock.

Because legislature that criminalizes pregnancy and abortion are being forced into discussion again and again.

Because the rest of the world wants to know why American women aren’t angrier.

Because of bills that limit the time frame of my choices.

Because for some reason, religion is a legitimate reason to interfere in my uterus.

Because the Protect Life Act even exists.

Because women who miscarry or lose their babies are being charged with murder.

Because a woman who tried to commit suicide while pregnant was jailed and charged with feticide.

Because mandatory trans-vaginal ultrasound probes are legally defined as rape.

Because ectogenesis technology could further remove birthing rights from a mother.

Because programs like this even have to exist.

Because birth control is suddenly a religious issue. Because women can be fired for using birth control as a contraceptive. Because the benefits of no-cost or inexpensive birth control are overlooked. Because ignorance necessitates posts like this.

Because again and again, organizations like the Medicaid Woman’s Health Program are seen as unnecessary. Because even the Susan G. Komen Foundation tried to stop funding Planned Parenthood. And if you think we’re past that, think again.

Because America ranks among a very small number of countries that don’t have paid, mandatory pregnancy leave. In fact, women routinely get forced out of their jobs for being pregnant.

Because public discourse from men like Rush Limbaugh is insulting and misogynistic and goes mostly unpunished.

Because the U.S. Military has some of the highest rape rates and most reprehensible policies for dealing with them.

Because women are bitches for saying no and sluts for saying yes. Because we are valued by how many or few cocks have been in our vaginas.

Because this is normal.

Because I don’t know a single woman who has not been harassed, derided, assaulted. Because I know many women and girls who have been raped. Because I’ve seen the long term, life long repercussions of sexual abuse.

Don’t tell me there isn’t a war on women. And don’t tell me the economy is more important than this. This barely scratches the surface.

Repeat after Soraya Chemaly: I am a woman and I have these human rights. The right to life. The right to privacy. The right to freedom. The right to bodily integrity. The right to decide when and how I reproduce.

When entering an adult store to purchase a toy, few realize that safety may be one of the things to consider in their selection (alongside girth and vibration strength, of course!). Sex toys are made out of a wide variety of materials, but not all of them are safe to put inside your body. Let me break it down for you old-school: (Keep reading via The Safety Dance: Sex Toy Safety for a New Generation | Kinsey Confidential)

Regardless, this is why I use condoms. Not to mention it makes for incredibly easy clean up with my toy, and I just generally find myself more comfortable using a condom with it (and well, because it’s more hygienic as well). Regardless of what I’d ever own, though, I think I’d always use a condom for the sake of clean-up, and I think it just makes it easier for wear and tear.

My toy wasn’t exactly cheap (but totally worth the money), and I’d like to take care of it as well as I possibly can.

Comic Book Boycott of the Day: Conservative group One Million Moms is at it again, directing its not-quite-a-million members to boycott Marvel and DC Comics due to recent announcements from both companies about their futures of their gay characters.

DC has revealed that a major character is soon going to come out as gay, while Marvel announced the engagement of superhero Northstar to his boyfriend, Kyle.

These events don’t sit will with One Million Moms, whose anti-gay agenda has also led them to protest the wedding of Archie Comics’ first gay character, Kevin Keller.

“Children desire to be just like superheroes,” said the group in a statement. “Children mimic superhero actions and even dress up in costumes to resemble these characters as much as possible. Can you imagine little boys saying, ‘I want a boyfriend or husband like X-Men?’”

The statement goes on to accuse the publishers of trying to “indoctrate [sic] impressionable young minds.”

Marvel and DC have yet to respond to the homophobic comments.

[towleroad.]

Can you imagine little boys saying, ‘I want a boyfriend or husband like X-Men?’”

Yes. Yes I can. Happily.

> Can you imagine little boys saying, ‘I want a boyfriend or husband like X-Men?

All that statement is saying to me is that you, as a parent, would be ashamed or disgraced or unloving toward your child if they said something like that to you, or one day came out to you as gay. How shamed you should feel for saying something like that.
