“[Did] you know that there’s a bill right now in New York State to fully decriminalize sex work? It would mean so much to me if you could sign and share it! You don’t need to be living in New York State to be supporting it, and you also don’t need to be living in New York State to be hitting up your representatives! To talk about the importance of decriminalizing sex work! Not legalizing it, not some weird fucked up Nordic model, DECRIMINALIZATION. It’s called Senate Bill 3075 and it’s sponsored by Julia Salazar. I highly recommend you take the time to sign and share it! Sex workers have been left out of community and legislation in our own industry for so long just because of stigma. Stigma keeps us isolated and hidden; it’s unacceptable. Boost our voices, you don’t know better than sex workers. Do good things today!”

“”It’s deplorable that sexually adventurous young women are constantly told they are “degrading themselves” by seeking out various experiences, that every bit of enjoyment eats away at some secret store of purity. This whole tradition–the idea that women need be preserved in glass so as not to “ruin” themselves, lest they diminish their sexual value by “giving it away”–restricts the lived autonomy of women in ways I can’t even begin to articulate. None of the slut-shaming makes sense unless you assume women live to give themselves to men in their purest possible form.””

Fucking hate men like this. Nothing but a bunch of assholes. I'd beat the guy who did this to me without my permission
Sounds about right.

Men shouldn’t be making laws about women’s bodies.
I wanna write this now
You're blind Bella comments just made me think what if Edward reacted a bit too late at the Tyler car-crash and Bella got paralyzed but he was still weird so Bella suspects him and she doesn't like him at first but wants to turn because it would fix her injuries. That would've made Edward/Bella soo much more interesting.
That could have been interesting, if Bella were seriously injured/disabled by the van accident and wanted vampirism not so much because of immortality or love or beauty but because it would, she hoped, heal her injuries. That would definitely be a new and different take on things and one I’d be interested in reading. …but maybe, to keep the romance theme, over the course of trying to convince Edward/the Cullens to change her she falls in love with him and by the end she’s like “I don’t even care if I never walk again as long as I can spend forever with you.”
in case you wondering what twitters like rn the answer is "not good"
