abortion

As reproductive rights are being stripped from women in Alabama and Missouri, many women are coming out to discuss their experiences with abortion and reproductive health. After reading this Twitter thread from @brownandbella, we are starting to think that we need to talk not only about the right to choose, but about the state of sexual education in the United States. These astounding shows of ignorance are definitely proof that something needs to change. We might be chuckling at some of these tweets, but reality of it all is pretty frickin' dark.

A Change.org petition to "remake game of thrones season 8 with competent writers" has accumulated over 800 thousand signatures.from disgruntled fans. People have been very unhappy with the show's writing - mainly with confusing character arcs and major plot holes. While we definitely agree with much of the unhappy sentiment, let's be real: there are way more important causes that deserve this overwhelming support. Twitter seems to agree. The petition has left many people completely dumbfounded, and they're showing their disdain the best way they know how: in 280 characters or less. 

Last week the governor of Georgia signed the "heartbeat bill" which would ban abortions after a fetal heartbeat is able to be detected by a doctor. The state of Alabama followed suit, proposing a total ban on abortions in nearly all cases. We won't get into the politics of that whole deal, but you probably understand why it's controversial to many.

On Friday, Alyssa Milano tweeted her call for a "sex strike," with the intention of withholding sex from men until women can get their bodily autonomy back, in her words. Liberals and conservatives alike are saying this movement is a little, um, misguided? 

At the end of the day, at least we can all come together regardless of our political affiliations to make fun of celebrities who say totally ridiculous sh*t!
