for my jan babies

I think it was right that I was born in february

because the universe had to take a month to breathe

she was torn open and stretched thin and upended

(and probably had post-partum depression)

because two fiery little angels hit her at the same time

my january babies

forces of energy and gold

hardened but not tarnished

by the world and her cold

my january babies

are the most beautiful people you've ever met

soul-wrenching, heart-breaking enormously loving celestial beings

of energy and gold

I write about them in every thought, in every poem, in every breath

they are my muses and my light

(they are for whom I will bite)

they remind me how to be a woman with every flaw, grace, and spine

they'll call this silly little poem pretty when I know it's just a word dump of my love with one too many rhymes

for my loves n&l. happy happy birthdays to the girls that convince me to write. yours, an

#happy birthday #i love you #friendship #female friendship #women #beautiful women #brilliant women #kind women #fierce women #strong women #you're amazing #january #capricorn #january 2024 #new year 2024 #happy 19 #19

posting all my genderbent sunny (mostly toxic yuri macden) art at once like i'm known to do tehee :) ft Charlie in a little mini comic where mac and den try to give her a make-over for a scheme, based on a conversation i had with my friend kath, who is THE person i'd trust most with writing an actual iasip episode btw.

#macdennis #macden #fem macdennis #iasip #it's always sunny in philadelphia #i love. women. love it even more when they are toxic hehe. i am a simple lesbian #also so sorry charlie bby. make-up should stay between mac and den to be psychosexual about #you deserve better!! #a lot of the designs for mac and den are inspired by 2005 fashion and kaths brilliant ideas #like cropping shirt being the hashtag girl equivalent of cutting sleeves of your shirt. literally the most brilliant thing ever to me #anyway. goodbye. see ya once i got more regular macden (turns into a pile of goo on the ground)

Y'all have been LIVING LIKE THIS??? This is still SEASON 2. Buddie fans are the strongest ❤️❤️

#honestly I wouldn't have made it to season 3 with this without having come in after the BuckTommy kiss #like. this is the exact looking directly in the camera at shipping fans and winking that I've seen in a million never-canon ships #i couldn't've held out hope. this would've ended me. #like in 2010 this would've been the “these crazy women see two white men standing near each other and immediately think they should kiss” #mockery that would be used to discredit all the queercoding that fans are legitimately picking up on #but yall true hearts kept strong and now canon bi Buck. blessings and love to you beautiful and brilliant and strong fans #buddie #buddie 911 #911 #911 abc #911 abc liveblog #s2e18

ok this is my last one of these. maybe

#his mattress is on the ground bc he is a floorboy next question #rhombus one is particularly silly i love making fun of his synesthesia #pretty sure the lori pic is from a deleted scene but you can't tell me that wasn't the dynamic of that relationship #also love a cheeky lisa apologist post. womens wrongs etc #always gonna love and support the women of TD S1 and hate marty (affectionate) and feel... ambivalent at best towards nic pizzolatto #like thank you for writing the show but also i probably hate you #starting night country tonight and i'm excited to cement my hatred of him because i just KNOW it'll be brilliant and he's just butthurt #true detective #rust cohle #marty hart

You're a weak ass bitch if you don't like BOTW Zelda for being "mean". She raises her voice at Link ONCE and y'all are quaking in your boots like "OOOH Link's just doing his jobbbb how dare she be angry at my little scrungly wungly 🥺🥺🥺" like babes grow up fr. How come it's perfectly ok for characters like Midna to be a genuine jerk to Link (at least at first) but like, heaven forbid a struggling teenager ends up snapping at the guy who won't leave her alone. Y'all act as if she never learned from this experience either??? I'm casting penis explosion on all of you dumbasses 💥💥💥

#fires posts #ramblings #botw #zelda #SORRY I got so angry after reading the notes on the last post fhdvdgg #It's so funny bc when I first got into BOTW I felt kind of lukewarm on her #but the more bad takes I saw the more I was like ''Actually she's brilliant'' #and she is #Why r y'all so allergic to women characters bring multi dimensional it's really embarrassing

Imagine being 9 years old and asking your dad about the things you're interested in doing when you grow up and he's like "No ❤️! But you can get married, have babies, and then maybe your sons can do those things ☺️🫶 "

#arya stark #one of those /wtf Ned/ moments #then people act like she invented misogyny cause she was like /uuuhhhhh no thanks that's not me/ #/Arya is masculine/ and she's literally just a child who has interests outside of her patriarchy-assigned role #the way people read this and then demonize Arya for not silently conforming like people expect her to... #that's the ingrained misogyny from being socialized in a patriarchal society speaking babes 😭 #cannot stress enough how Arya is just an average little girl and what makes her behavior stand out is their society's strict gender norms #her life + learning almost entirely revolves around the fact that she is being raised to be a wife and people resent her for wanting more : #she is NINE in AGoT and her parents are discussing her refinement because /In a few years she will be of an age to marry/ #the way misogyny is explored in Arya's story is actually so brilliant and well-written (+ underappreciated) though #we feel the full weight of how restrictive their society is through her POV and get the experiences of lower-class women too #which is why it's so significant that George wrote her based on feminists who realized they wanted more than becoming wives/housewives #she's one of his key characters who will /change the world/ but people think he's sticking her on a boat bc she isn't feminine enough 😭 #thank god he's writing the books and not any of these reductive hacks who thinks misogyny is subversive 🙏🏾 #sidenote: would've loved to see this from her POV to get her feelings when he said this cause I'm sure it doesn't match Ned's perception #considering he views her main issues as being stubborn/difficult while we know about the self-esteem issues she has

I was watching a clip of the nutcracker on youtube and someone complained about the ballerina dancing as clara because "an adult playing a 12 year old is creepy" and guys. I think we need to shut down takes. No more takes until we figure out what's going on.

#what do you want??? CHILD LABOR? #profesional ballet is incredibly intense both mentally and physically #12 is a really young age to go en pointe in the first place let alone for HOURS on end every day #like i can understand this shit in like. tv or movies but on LIVE PERFORMANCE??? #on camera you are so close to the actor appearance matters a lot more and you can make more forgiving schedules for child actors #in ballet you CAN'T account for those schedules #and the dancer's... you know. DANCING matters way more than how young they look. you're sitting 50m away it DOESN'T MATTER #i'm not sure how to like... tag this beyond the rant #im not even sure if it was purity culture or just a pure hatred for adult women #because the commenter went to complain that the dancer (who was 24) 'looked in her 40s' #ballet #the nutcracker #the dancer was Sae Maeda for the record who is BRILLIANT

The doors to science for too long were shut to women—and the struggle continues—yet women still have managed to contribute invaluable work. Here are 5 open collections on JSTOR that feature the work of important women botanists and botanical artists.

oh my GOD i despise gregory.

#im fuckign ON MY WAY TO YOUR FUCKING LOCATION #this man had such a good idea then went and hated women and gay people a little to much in his writing and execution to make a good film #the way its told is brilliant #the shots are brilliant #just if it was gregory giving the ideas and someone changing it to be better and gayer #like minds

Chiara Lagani and Mara Cerri come together for this gorgeous graphic novel adaptation of My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante, translated by Ann Goldstein. They tell a condensed version of this story, still as poetic and lovely as the original, but accompanied by gorgeous drawings of shadowy painted scenes, depicting beautifully the emotions on the faces of the two protagonists, the exposing feeling of growing into a woman's body in a world of sexual harassment and leers, the mix of uncertainty and familiarity that lights their world. Fans of the Neapolitan novels will have to get their hands on this adaptation!

Content warnings for sexual assault, sexual harassment.

"Womanhood isn't a mystical state of being, nor is it measured by how well one apes sex stereotypes. We are not the creatures either porn or the Bible tell you we are. Femaleness is not, as trans woman Andrea Chu Long wrote, ‘an open mouth, an expectant asshole, blank, blank eyes,’ nor are we God’s afterthought, sprung from Adam’s rib." ~ JK Rowling
