Illustrated news of the Oscar Wilde trial. Oscar called homosexuality "The love that dare not speak its name." And more than a century later, we still fight censorship of our lives and sexuality on Tumblr and other social media.

Sesame Street was groundbreaking in so many ways. Read the book Street Gang: The Complete History of Sesame Street by Michael Davis, or at least watch the documentary. Joan Gantz Cooney changed the world.

How to read minds. How to understand that ‘No, I’m fine’ means ‘guess what you did wrong’. How to quit voicing my concerns and asking for what I want. How boring and selfish marathon runners are. How to know my place and stay in it. How to just say ‘ok’ and do it, because it’s easier than engaging in the long, belittling process of being told why my objections are stupid it’s better that I should just do it, no matter what ‘it’ is. That no sex is better than dull, loveless sex. What a painful, effective weapon silence can be. How to turn my whole self off inside because the days go more smoothly that way.

The sexiest part about a woman is entirely subjective. I like big shoulders and a high, tight ass. Something you can really get ahold of. I also like brown eyes, and I think a long nose makes a woman’s face distinguished. I’ve never been into boobs one way or the other, maybe because I’m looking for more of a tough gal, and while she’s going to have breasts, they’re not usually featured in her outfits 😂

I love the way women smell, too. Mmmm, I could go on.
