I’m on a first date with a hottie.
He smiles at me, blown away by my wit & charm.
“You’re not like other girls, are you?”
I smile back, my lips part.
My mouth unhinges to reveal the demon legion of female identifying feminists & we speak together.
“I’m exactly like other girls.”

Hey photographers, this is a little tip I picked up while at sea and could be useful for this rainy weather for those who don’t have waterproof coverings:
Get a ziplock or plastic bag, make a hole for the lens. Wrap/secure it with duct tape.
Stay safe

I said I didn’t want at 13, they said I was just young. At 19, that I would change my mind. At 21, “that’s what they all say.” At 26, that I’m selfish. At 30, that I’ll be lonely. I’m sure at 65 they will be asking every second if I regret it but I stopped caring at like 15 lol
As a woman who doesn’t consciously want children, the truth about it is that from time to time i feel guilty about it because that’s what society tells you you should want.
At 25 I didn’t want. At 35, i still don’t want
