Workfare in Context →
This week has seen a huge furore over the Government’s “workfare” scheme, whereby unemployed people, and those on disability benefits, can be forced to work for 30 hours a week. If they refuse, they can have their benefits removed for a period of three months. Amidst the uproar, I thought it might be worthwhile to detail some of the other work- and benefit-related policies that currently exist...

tumblaighre: (TW?) Remember that Justin Bieber fantasy confession Tumblr a while ago? This whole Chris Brown apologism thing reminds me of that, and how so many of those ‘confessions’ were from teenage girls essentially imagining themselves being actually raped by Justin Bieber. The whole “Team Breezy” phenomenon seems pretty similar; ignorant expressions of support from girls who (presumably,...

I'm pretty sick of this nexplanon implant
I’m thinking of getting it taken out. I had really horrible pains in my abdomen the other day and I think they were caused by it. I’ve been on it for months and haven’t stopped having my period. Also my acne is back with full force. Fucking pharmaceutical companies need to stop being arseholes and support contraceptive research for men. I am sick of taking hormones all the...

How to Juggle
thegreatdamfino: It’s best to start off with three balls. Four is recklessness, and two is impressing nobody. To obtain the balls, take a trip to the dispensary - best to order spares, lest your first failures are so spectacular that the balls themselves vacate your menace. If you can’t afford to buy, scrump some decent-sized apples. But remember, a glutton makes a good juggler not. Put two...

Sorry,
having an ipad means I basically completely ignore tumblr, even though I have Riplr. If you want to keep hearing my thoughts then message me for my twitter, because my updating on here will probably be very rare from now on. xo

– Why Women Aren’t Crazy (via lagrandefille) I hate when people claim that women are crazy or complicated or don’t know what they want because fuck you. When a woman is vocal about her opinions, desires, feelings, you call her a bitch or crazy or hysterical. Women have been taught that the only way...

Can you be anti-porn and pro-sex? →
skiptracer: GRAGH. There was me thinking that this would be a genuinely more positive spin on this weird hyperbolic vendetta against porn, especially as I class myself as a pro-sex feminist. BUT NO. This calls for a slightly inarticulate rant. IT IS SO PATRONISING. And guess what? It is no different from every single other damned anti-porn feminist article I’ve ever read. I hate the argument,...
