Feminism Is Not About Who Opens The Jar. It Is Not About Who Pays For The Date. It Is Not About Who Moves

Video Game Alphabet (apologies for ‘v’)

Honestly I totally get the appeal of a lifelong romantic relationship. But like, I’d rather get that by having a relationship that’s so consistently good we never decide to end it, than by having one that’s so good at one time that we decide, in that moment, to never end it.

Does that make sense? One’s saying “yes” to something every day, the other’s saying “yes, every day” to something.

Making it hard to leave takes away a lot of uncertainty. But what if making it hard to leave devalues the staying?

I want anyone I date to know with total certainty that if they wanted to leave tomorrow, they could do it and it wouldn’t be the end of the world, it wouldn’t unleash demons. I don’t want anyone to feel chained to me.

It’s being not-chained that makes staying mean something. I want to make it easy to leave so I know we’re in this because we’re choosing to be, actively. And more than an eternal relationship? I want one where we’re in it 100%.

If we’re both/all completely on board because we keep choosing to be… that’s the kind of relationship I’d be happy to keep doing forever, if it keeps working that long. And if it doesn’t? The goal was to make it a good one, not a permanent one. 

quick reminders about Greek mythology:

Persephone is black/has dark skin

Haphaestus is disabled and has some mental illness(es)

Gaia is black/has dark skin

Hades is disabled

Zeus is a rapist [ on multiple occasions ]

Eros is pansexual

Athena is most likely asexual

Dionysus is bisexual

all of the nymphs are nonbinary

Persephone is the goddess of spring growth

Thanatos is the god of death, not Hades

Notice something in common in these photos?

It’s not what you think

I gave it away in the third pic

That’s right! None of these cops are wearing badges or name tags! I wonder why… seems like it’d be important to wear those, since it’s even illegal not to in other states…

Athena picks fights on the playground from age seven Soon all the boys worship her At thirteen she learns to fire a gun And calls her sister’s longbow “ineffective” She destroys the competition in debates and wrestling matches alike, Learns to march but finds she’d much rather command, Climbs to the top of the military tree, Stepping on anyone who gets in her way Artemis is all scraped knees and bruised shins A fierce little girl who does what she wants A teenager with grass stains on her dresses and rage in her heart She dislikes the company of men At age fifteen she kisses a girl and decides she likes it almost as much as shooting At eighteen she knows that one girl will never be enough Aphrodite has always been pretty and she knows it She grew up fast but chocolate and flowers and favours were her rewards She keeps a notebook by her bed Hot pink like the marks she leaves on boys necks Filled with phone numbers, her own personal directory They’d do anything for her and that’s just how she likes it

When trans women are mocked and made into jokes in the media, I get very upset, and I am often told “Kay, you can’t go through life getting offended every time someone makes a joke.” And I sputter and object but they don’t hear me. So I want to be clear for once, about why...
