Text: decoupling pregnancy from femininity means accurate and more inclusive language and treatment, but it also allows cis women to refuse motherhood without refusing womanhood, which is great for feminism and terrifying for misogyny.

–THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS. As a sterile cis woman who doesn’t want to have children anyway I feel this is every ounce of my being. “Define woman” types tend to do so in a way that excludes me too, so I got to stand with my trans sisters.

Your periodic reminder that “divine feminine” this “magic womb” that is just patriarchy in gauze and glitter. REJECT THE BOX even when it has a makeover.

hey babe, are you ok? I saw you've been listening to Through Heaven's Eyes from the prince of egypt on a loop for the past week

Every time I see someone bring up how Feyre admired the visual contrast between Elain and Azriel (i.e "Death and the Lovely Fawn") all I can think about is the fact that she once admired the similar contrast between herself and Tarquin before ultimately realizing that she can't be with someone who doesn't contain the same darkness as her. She realizes that she needs someone who is not her contrast, but her match. Someone whose soul is made of the same stuff.

Feyre has also made it known that she does not know her sisters as well as she thinks she does. Notice how, once she became closer to Elain and began understanding her better as a sister and person, that she started encouraging Elain and Lucien more.

I love all books but sometimes you read a book and you’re like so were all 21 thousand of you blindfolded and at gun point when you rated it 5 stars

Cory Booker has been talking in the senate for over 20 hours now

He’s not filibustering. He’s protesting the current administration.

For those of you from outside the US or those of you who didn’t pay attention in government class, in the US senate there’s really no limit to the amount of time a senator can speak. So sometimes if they don’t want a bill to pass they just. Don’t stop talking. To hopefully get past the deadline to vote on a bill. This is called filibustering.

Senator Cory Booker isn’t doing that. He’s disrupting “the normal business of the United States Senate for as long as I am physically able”. Just in protest. This doesn’t usually happen.

He’s less than 20 minutes away from breaking the record of the longest speech given on the senate floor

Cory Booker has officially broken Strom Thurmond’s record for longest speech on the senate floor and he’s still going

For those of you wondering what he’s been talking about this whole time, his staff wrote down a bunch of stuff for him to read like stories from people across the political spectrum opposed to what the administration is doing. He’s also been telling personal anecdotes about meeting important civil rights leaders and other democratic senators have been pausing him for “questions” but the questions have been as long as a small speech and have both served the purpose of giving him a second to sit down and updating him on the news that he’s been missing while he’s been talking.

He has yielded the floor at 25 hrs and 4 mins. His eyes are so wide they look like they’re going to bug out of his skull so I don’t blame him for stopping. He said to go out and get in some good trouble.

Addition for those unaware: Cory Booker is black. Strom Thurmond set the previous record about 70 years ago in protest of civil rights. Booker spent much of the time I was watching talking about the importance of working together for the people and the idea that it's not "left versus right but right versus wrong."

The new record speech is on the right side of history.

what I think will happen if I message my mutuals

feyre's attraction to rhys in early acotar will never not be funny and most pleasing to me

tamlin very obviously doesn't like rhys and feyre is still blushing at rhys having a sexy voice like ooo i'd be sick jfgshnkjfn

FEYRE CONTROL ITT

can't help but to add that he has a "perfect face." mind you her man who hates him is three feet away, being taunted in his own home fdjkshgskjg

she's in pain here...

"slid along my bones, warming my blood" oh, i'm sure

these are only a few examples of many where she's attracted to rhys even when she supposedly hates him. not even including how many times she thinks about being drawn to him and being able to be more honest and herself with him than anyone.

Didn’t yall praise an artist for drawing Elain with Illyrian wings and called her Illyrian’s Princess-

But somehow Gwynriel’s saying we think Gwyn is connected to the Illyrian plot line is the problem- but then you continue to spread this narrative that we think Gwyn is going to be “the savior of Illyria” when nobody said that. Oh and stop using Emerie as your token Illyrian when yall don’t give a fuck about her. 💙

using Emerie as a token and calling the Valkyries unimportant in the same breath is.... interesting behavior
