Hello My Name Is Laura

When they say “ADHD gets better with age” what they really mean is “Men might present less hyper-actively.” They forget to say “Women go through a huge hormonal shift (ahem, Peri/Meno) and they lose their sh*t and their ADHD (which might not even be diagnosed yet) becomes untenable.” Glad I can correct that for you. You’re not weird or alone. I get it. XO, Dr. Jen

No but the men are so lonely I wonder whyyyyy

i really like james acaster’s “edgy comedians” bit mostly bc it’s clearly centered on dunking on transphobic comedians rather than a trying to make a trans joke

In the words of Tom Cox, “I know I buy far too many books but I like to think that lining my house with them wards off evil in some deeply important way.”

In December 1968, a young mother in Ireland wakes from a four-day coma, her body ravaged by her third pregnancy in less than two years. The twins she delivered are healthy, but May McGee has nearly paid for them with her life... Her doctor's words are blunt. Another pregnancy could kill her. He writes a prescription for a diaphragm and spermicidal jelly, contraceptives she cannot legally obtain in her own country. The only option is to import them from the UK. When the package arrives at Irish customs, it's seized. Officials deliver a chilling warning to the McGees: attempt this again, and face prosecution. May McGee, just 24 years old with four children born in 23 months, is told by her government that her life is less important than a law written in 1935. She refuses to accept it. "I was livid that somebody in government could tell us how to live our lives," she would later recall. "I wasn't going to back down." With support from their doctor and the Irish Family Planning Association, the McGees file a lawsuit. The High Court rejects them in 1972. But they appeal to the Supreme Court, and on December 19, 1973, something remarkable happens. In a 4-1 decision, the court rules that married couples have a constitutional right to privacy in family planning decisions. The moment that crystallized the case came during testimony. When asked how he felt about his wife using contraceptives, Shay McGee answered with devastating simplicity: "I'd prefer to see her using contraceptives than be placing flowers on her grave." Years later, Supreme Court Justice Gerard Hogan would call it the court's "single most important decision" in nearly a century, one that ignited "a social revolution." Yet that revolution moved painfully slowly. Politicians didn't pass legislation allowing even limited access until 1979, and only for married couples with prescriptions. Full unrestricted access to contraception didn't arrive until 1993, twenty years after the McGees won their case. The Sunday after their victory, May and Shay attended Mass in Skerries. From the altar, they were publicly condemned. They walked out and never returned to the church. May McGee never sought recognition for what she had done, but her refusal to back down transformed Irish society and opened doors for generations of women who followed. © Reddit #archaeohistories

JK Rowling personally invited Jeffrey Epstein to the opening of Harry Potter & the Cursed Child while he'd been a very publicly convicted pedophile for 10 whole years... "Protecting women & girls", huh?

Insane to think that if she didn't go on love island this face card would just be wandering the streets of Ireland undiscovered.

The pink bow of femininity prevents movement in the name of style. Genius on a meta level
