In the cups, hanging between them, or tucked into a side or shoulder strap, these sex toys and safer sex items can all fit into your bra* and are perfect for sex on the go or any time you just don’t feel like bringing a bag.
“So what’s so wrong about ‘pussy’ — arguably one of the most fun, provocative, sensuous words to describe a woman’s down-there? The New York Observer approached the Times’ standards editor Phil Corbett about the controversial ‘p’ word the Paper of Record has been historically reluctant to reproduce. ‘We are making case-by-case judgments, based on newsworthiness, context and other factors,’ Corbett told the Observer. One of those judgments included deciding to dub the noise punk band Perfect Pussy comically ‘that band with the unprintable name.’”
While there are many times you might want to text your ex, it’s rare that you truly need to. “That song we both like came on the radio” is not a good reason to text your ex. “I just saw the Hangover 2 — remember that time we were hung over?” is not a good reason to text your ex. “Mrow” is not a good reason to text your ex. I’m not saying you shouldn’t text her for a valid, honest reasons — even a simple congratulations is appropriate when it’s due. Just avoid texting your ex for stupid reasons.
I was so sad about bra week because I thought I’d already covered the only advanced bra out there— the bra that can detect cancer. Turns out, though, there’s a bunch of bra 2.0 out there. And they are as crazy as you imagine they would be.
Two important changes came quietly to some of the country’s most widely used social services this week that will allow same-sex partners and married trans people to qualify for coverage along with their spouse. On Tuesday, the Social Security Administration announced it was updating its policies to allow transgender individuals to automatically collect social security benefits through their spouses. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services instituted a similar change Wednesday, when it announced that same-sex couples will now be recognized in any application for Medicare benefits regardless of where they live. Both are an extension of efforts to change federal policy following the repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act last June.
I mostly wear lingerie for myself, because I’m into secret self-care like that, but I definitely want my partner to appreciate what I’ve got going on as well when she’s lucky enough to see it. I’m also embracing my tomboy/blue jean/lazy femme realness more and more each day. This means if I’m going to spend monies on something, it better be perfect for all of my skipping and hopping around the gender presentation spectrum.
“Raising minimum wage is a women’s issue,” emphasized Liz Shuler during the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organization’s (AFL-CIO) briefing on Working Women and the Minimum Wage on April 3rd. Shuler, AFL-CIO secretary-treasurer, and a number of AFL-CIO representatives gathered at AFL-CIO’s headquarters in Washington D.C. to discuss how raising the minimum wage improves the condition of women workers in the U.S., especially for those who are single-mothers and/or women of color. Here are five things you should know about women and the minimum wage crisis.
It’s time for another Friday Open Thread! It’s a place for feelings, opinions, and even nonsensical strings of letters if that’s what you’re into at this moment in time. There will be an open thread every Friday, as Carmen has mentioned before. Unfortunately I don’t have a girlfriend, cute dog, or nacho recipes to share. I understand this is a step down but please love me anyway, I NEED THIS.

HELLO and welcome to the 121th installment of Things I Read That I Love, wherein I share with you some of the longer-form journalism/essays I’ve read recently so that you can read them too and we can all know more about heroin! This “column” is less feminist/queer focused than the rest of the site because when something is feminist/queer focused, I put it on the rest of the site. Here is where the other things are.
