This is a nice update. I mentioned my friend’s gofundme page where he’s raising money to cover cancer treatment. He’s surpassed his goal of raising $30,000.
This article tells two versions of the same story, one where everything goes wrong and one where there are options to get out of a negative situation. It was unsettlingly familiar. I am that girl at points in the first story. I’ve been told to save for a rainy day, or a house, or a car, but no one explicitly said save for your independence. The author encourages everyone (if possible) to have a Fuck Off Fund. A stash of money for when a relationship goes south or a boss makes an advance. For many women financial security and physical safety are the same side of a coin, inextricably tied together.
This is a beautiful story about pregnancy and connection. A couple who both get pregnant through in vitro get to share one of the most intimate things together with an innate understanding of each other and the process.
READ: Where it Grows
“I didn’t even trust my last girlfriend enough to cum, didn’t want to give her that power to hold over me; power dynamics fuck up relationships real quick.”
This essay is a beautiful vignette of moments dealing with femininity and sexuality.
Ashley Mardell posts a series of videos called the ABC’s of LGBT where she discusses all the different gender and sexual preferences a person can have. It’s a very informative series. The last videos are all about asexuality and aromanticism. She also putting together a book version of her video series that will be free to whomever wants it. You can find out more info about her book on her gofundmepage.
