The very best, like no one ever was.

Describe huh?
Papers are refusing to run this week’s Doonsbury. It should be seen.
Signal boost.
Should be? More like NEEDS to be
i had a discussion about this with my mom today. she said this series shouldn’t be included in the regular comics section because “kids shouldn’t read it”
#1 why not????
#2 no child alive reads doonesbury anyway!!!!!!!
ahahha I know I didn’t read Doonesbury when I was a kid
I didn’t understand it and thought it was boring
it is a boring comic, but
- sometimes it’s very, very relevant, such as now
- it’s a lot better than any shat-out, over-labeled, condescending single-panel political cartoon
also children today don’t read any newspaper comics
that’s why most of them are about geriatrics nowadays
Wait, let me back up.
Hi, my name is Cara and I’m a 21 year old woman. Every 28 days, give or take, I have a period. And it fucking sucks. Today, was one of those…
hmmmm. this sounds eerily like, “im irritated about a body function that many people find gross, so i demand the right to ignore societies wishes and yell it out to the world. Im using this to ATTACK ALL MEN, because they dont want to hear about my body functions.”
i can totally see someone refusing to be quiet about this ordeal, but to attack all men with a passion because they don’t want to imagine all the gory details? “And if I live in a country that is actively waging war on my sex, the least I am going to do is break patriarchal social propriety to inform anyone and everyone of the shit biological process I was BLESSED enough to be born into.”
anyone and everyone
i can see it now, a woman walks into the classroom and stars laying down the juicy details in a loud voice because fuck anyone who wants to shut her up, amirite? she has blood gushing out of her and she’ll be damned if anyone is offended, because if shes going through it, everyone is getting an ear full.
daycare center? why not? children? gotta get those bastard men early. local church? hell yea. Grandparents? sure. During thanksgiving? you oughta be thankful shes not showing pictures.
tell your boss, your co-workers, the bus driver, anyone and everyone!
…..
…..
yea the state is in the wrong with this birth control shit, but this is kinda kooky.
lets give everyone TMI.
“and if heaven forbid, I need an additional pad, I have to be discrete about it, so as not to offend the men’s gentle sensibilities to the fact that I am the one dropping tissues and blood from my body through my vagina. “
and if heaven forbid, i need to take a massive shit because im ill as fuck, i have to be discrete about it, so as not to offend anyone’s gentle sensibilities to the fact that I am the one dropping shit from my body through my butt.
“I’ve been sick for days, and i get sick often. Im in class because i don’t want to get a bad grade, but heaven forbid, if i need to suddenly expel things from my nether regions, I gotta stay quiet about it. No, fuck that, I’m going to make it a public thing and tell everyone exactly whats going on because im upset.”
I get it, don’t hide your period away. Denial of bringing up the subject of such a large thing for so many women is bullshit. however, i don’t see this as a reason to overdue it and just tell everyone and anyone all the gory details to purposely upset them, or as a reason to attack the opposite gender. the bullshit about not wanting to listen to some guys story or him talk about traffic? ok, yea, anyone trying to tell anyone else a story is probably going to get annoyed if the recipient doesn’t want to listen. this is not based on gender, this is a completely normal thing…
” the least I am going to do is break patriarchal social propriety to inform anyone and everyone of the shit biological process I was BLESSED enough to be born into.” yea! fuck social propriety! you know other biological phenomena sucks? death! yea! and im going to inform ANYONE AND EVERYONE about all my loved ones who are rotting away right now; its a shit biological process we were all BLESSED enough to be born into. lets tell everyone the disgusting details. gross shit happens to everyone, in different ways. this does not give anyone a free ticket to yell it out to everyone, because often times this is disturbing to people. and yea, its a shitty deal to do something like that, especially when you do it with menace.
people don’t want to hear these gross facts of life, whether or not it happens a lot. people usually dont want to get the image of things they think of as disgusting in their heads and you can’t fault them for it, let alone attack them. other disgusting things that i could care to not hear details about: female circumcision, suicide, murder, rape, and any sort of biological function that has anything to do with someones nether regions. yes they happen to a shit ton of people, and yes they are disgusting. Am i going to acknowledge them? yea of course. Will I even get into discussions about them? yea, if im not already in a shit mood. Do I want to hear the gory details about them? special circumstances aside, nope. and i don’t think im overstepping my boundaries for that.
ill post summo stuff when i get off my lazy bottom…. i have so much just lying around in my favs.
