If you think my first words to my brother's...
For most of my period-having life, I’ve been irregular. Like, seriously irregular. Twice a year at best.
(Granted, a good chuck of those years I was dealing with ED-NOS and a heady cocktail of crazy, internal and external, but.)
Last February, I visited a gynocologist for the first time. I mentioned that I’d had four periods in 2010 and I was concerned, but I didn’t want to go...

BoingBoing wants YOU to visit your local natural history and science museum and send them pictures of your favorite exhibits. What do they mean to you? Are there hidden treasures of nature and science that the world needs to see?

So here’s my challenge to you: Visit your local science and natural history museums, photograph your favorite exhibit, and send...
ineffableshe replied to your post: That awkward moment when you discover you’re fluent in Tumblr SJ Speak without having ever taken a class in theory, ever
Tumblr SJ speak is anti-theory.
Ain’t that the truth? I was all ready to tell this girl “Your definition of [x] privileges [a]ality and [b]ism and erases the identify of [y] and my personal history of [z]” when all...

– Adrienne Rich, Invisibility in the Academe. (via fuckyeahlesbianliterature)
There’s a theology professor at my ungrad institution that says gay people don’t exist, that they’re just something Hollywood made up.

Permit me to explain The Fat Spectrum
I worry that people think I’m being facetious when I say “I identify on the fat spectrum,” much like I worry that they think I’m making an inappropriate joke when I call rape culture my university’s favorite intramural sport.
I’m dead serious. Let me explain.
I am 4’9” and a size 8 to 10, with proportions much like a cartoon character:...

PS: How exactly would a conversation with your significant other about the fact that you farted in your sleep go? If my husband or I fart in front of each other (which happens kind of a lot, especially now that I’m pregnant), it mostly just...
