today my professor told me
every cell in our entire body
is destroyed and replaced
every seven years.how comforting it is to know
one day i will have a body
you will have never touched.

Okay but honestly? Shoutout to those of use who have/had to see their rapist on a daily basis due to school, work, etc. We not only survived what happened to us, but we had to see them after what they did to us and we survived the flashbacks and panic attacks. We are so strong.
I’m tired of girls trying to invalidate their own feelings during times of pain, especially to their friends. Your break up meant something. That friendship you lost was a hard blow. I understand why you feel tired this semester. Sometimes this “modern woman” stereotype is patriarchy’s last attempt; patriarchy disguised as feminism. You don’t have to be “wise beyond your years”; your pain and crying does not mean you are not intelligent. If you feel your friends demand justification for your pain and ordeals, they’re not friends. You’re strong but human. Remind yourself emotional space is part of liberation.
If you don’t strategically eat your food so that the last bites to go in your mouth are the tastiest look at your choices
Surround yourself with people and stories that inspire, strengthen, and elevate you. Here’s another gif I created for Netflix, who’ve built a mighty awesome hub for female-focused storytelling. I love the range of relationships their shows highlight– young and old, cross-cultural, intergenerational, socioeconomically diverse. Pretty sure it’s not a coincidence that most of my favorite stories about women are written by women ✔️

consent through fear is not consent
let’s repeat that again:
consent through fear is not consent
And while we’re at it:
consent through guilt is not consent either
Asking until you get the desired response is not consent.
Silence is not consent.
“I guess” is not consent.
Consent is a willing, freefully given yes.
