When I read this awful law passed I felt like vomiting. We’ve been pushing to fight it and I was so angry and sick it passed anyway.

We’ll see what the courts do. The lower courts will probably strike it down, but we don’t know about the Supremes now.

Man, this line from the article really resounded and made me so glad I’m not a kid anymore:

but more often girls are told to understand the approaches as flattering, or left to navigate them with little more than their own instincts

And this last truth, about Gaetz and his shitty cohort in FL blaming the 17 yo they paid for sex for “lying about her age,”

This, too, is one of the surest signs that a girl is becoming a woman: suddenly, she finds herself being held responsible for men’s actions.

As girls, we’re mainly thrown to the wolves then blamed when we don’t know instinctively how to protect ourselves against people who are bigger and more experienced than us.

The author does a good job, too, of pointing out the casual, constant, unsolicited commenting by unknown men on the appearance of women, to those women’s faces. So. annoying.

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I like the cicada buzz. It reminds me of home and childhood.

Me too, I actually miss the sound and enjoy it when I visit back home. Also the frogs. Not the mosquitos.

I hear them every summer, and it’s going to be waaaay too much this summer. (I’ve never had a summer without them.)

Same here, but I’m not very nostalgic about it.
