The Real Difficulty Is To Overcome How You Think About Yourself.

You must write, and read, as if your life depended on it.

IT IS TRULY TERRIFYING what we are and are not teaching children about sex

Watch: John Oliver’s sex ed video needs to be shown in every American school 

Heteronormativity is heterosexuality raised to the second power: it is heterosexuality not as an erotic orientation or even a compulsory regime that brooks no alternatives, but heterosexuality as the template for all forms of meaningful social organization.

Things that cannot screen for breast cancer and things that can.

And for those who are yelling about PP not doing mammograms, “screenings” are not just mammograms.  "Screenings" are also breast exams, which are the first line of defense. Those breast exams are done every time a woman has a pelvic exam, which she needs in order to get birth control or STI testing. Get it together. Semantics do not change the facts.

The soul always knows what to do to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind.

Where is that sequel...

What girls say: I’m fine

What girls mean: but in the 2001 American comedy hit film Legally Blonde, when Enrique (Greg Serano) lies and says that he and Brooke Taylor-Windham have been having an affair, he’s committing perjury in open court which is and of itself a felony with a punishment of up to five years is prison. Why is he doing this? What’s the motivation behind this crime? Is he in a conspiracy with Chutney to take down Brooke? Will this man and his sequin vest ever face justice?
