Thank you so much for the link! I wasn’t aware of that. I was tired of the Mama Grizzly meme that she’s started even though she is staunchly anti-environmentalism.

Your addition adds one more layer.

Fun fact, in case you weren’t already aware: Grizzly Bears can self-induce an abortion and re-absorb the embryo/fetus if, at any point, it seems as if conditions won’t be ideal for a cub.

Right to choose indeed!

I wish I could write like you as Margaret Laurence once said “When I say “work” I only mean writing. Everything else is just odd jobs.”

Nope, it’s not just you in a bubble. I literally stopped in my tracks when I saw the magazine cover in a store. Cosmo is ridiculously out of touch. And body shaming and harmful and ugh. Makes me angry and sad in equal measure.

What does that even mean? Full-grown pubic bush? They did realize that, while bald vulvae has become a bit of a trend lately, pubic hair was never quite ‘out of style’, don’t they?

…Wasn’t it? Maybe it’s just me in my bubble.

Be careful. An editor from Cosmo might try to steal that advice and convince readers of its truth. All while selling shoes and make-up, of course.

What’s it like, watching Windtalkers while reading Cosmo? Does it provide new insight into the war? Or Cosmo? Maybe the “new sex facts” are encoded into the articles? Okay, if we take every prime letter of every third page, wrapping around the magazine (provided the number of pages of the magazine isn’t divisible by three), use a mono-alphabetic transfer, and then read the resulting text in German, we discover that orgasm can be intensified by having sexual congress in a vat of sterile tapioca pudding.

Thank you so much! So many amazing feminist blogs cover stories that are heart wrenching or infuriating. I tend to write about the sillier side of sexism (wow, does that sound like an oxymoron.) I’m glad I could give you a laugh.

Gonna! And yes, add it to your queue. Like I said in the vlog, it’s not for everyone. Some episodes walk up to the line, pee on it, and then keep going. But the ensemble cast is excellent.
