Midwives Fight for The Right to Deliver →
bohemianarthouse:
Women need the freedom to choose to give birth the way they want. That’s why I support midwives and if I do choose to have kids in the future (not sure yet), I will have a midwife help me do so.
Absolutely.

We all seem to strive for some sense of closeness, of community, of connection. I see all these punk houses- open door policy, everyone’s welcome, everyone’s invited. Bring some tea, bring some food, your ipod, your cigarettes, your combat boots, your beers. Bring your newest vinyl records, and your notebooks and all your radical ideas. But even then, surrounded by...

I’ve talked before about being touched and the rights people feel like they have to my body as someone who is read as female most of the time, and how fucking disturbing I find that. I’m going to continue this discussion a little further now.
LISTEN IF YOU DON’T KNOW SOMEONE, DON’T TOUCH THEM…

Soooo this morning I’m helping facilitate a cast orientation for the casts of The Vagina Monologues and A Memory, A Monologue, A Rant, and A Prayer.
It’s gonna consist of:
