I was going to say, “You fuck beautifully.” Then realised that didn’t sound quite right. “You give fucks beautifully,” didn’t really work either. How about hugs?

Language and how we use it is a genuine issue. If a spectrum of issues can’t be considered, a slippery slope emerges of which issues are most needy. Many issues are legitimately in need of more space within the greater disucussion of feminism, that doesn’t eradicate the need for discussion of smaller issues.

The greater harm to feminism is…[Read more]

This was a really thought provoking read – lots to ponder!
Juniper commented on the post, This Open Thread Is Here For Beyoncé 6 years, 10 months ago

I downloaded a couple of Beyonce songs this week. Um. Best thing I never had and irreplaceable. They’ve been lovely additions to my play lists but haven’t yet bought an album of hers.

I appreciate that you’re talking about your experience. I still feel in a general sense however that being without makeup isn’t necessarily about making a statement. The choice doesn’t have to be conscious to the […]
Juniper commented on the post, Ten Songs Keeping Me Sane This Week: Depression Fighting Edition 6 years, 10 months ago

This kind of weirdly made me smile. April is a tough month here too. I keep thinking about your #4 choice. I came across that song via the Johnny Cash version; I have both a fondness for it and a desire not to […]
Juniper commented on the post, News in Europe: Austerity Protests, Ukraine Updates + More 6 years, 10 months ago

I was surprised at how shocked I was about about the Peaches Geldof news, but then, she was another young mum and an attachment parenting advocate, too. I just kept coming back to thinking about two boys being […]

This was a beautiful read. Thank you for sharing.
Juniper commented on the post, Horses Aren’t Just for Girls 6 years, 10 months ago

Aw, this was a lovely read. I was a stable girl through my tween and teen years, and yeah, it wasn’t a rich-person activity in my case. I absolutely knew of the girly stereotype but found it an incredibly […]
Juniper commented on the post, How Many Middlemarch Madness-Nominated Books Have You Read? 6 years, 10 months ago

I scored 11. Um, yeah. I’ll be in the corner reading board books thankyouverymuch.
Juniper commented on the post, Veterinary Costs: Know Your Options 6 years, 10 months ago

Though we’re a feline family, we still have veterinary costs and I’m very pro-insurance. We’ve already had to use it and I’m grateful we have it, even though Juniper Puss isn’t covered for all his medical issues […]
Juniper commented on the post, Sitting in a Space of Discomfort: Challenging Society’s Beauty Standards 6 years, 10 months ago

This was an interesting read but I found myself tripping up on this: “ultimately this is a political choice”. I don’t think it (makeup, shaving, bras) are inherently political. Certainly this was my feeling about […]

Thank goodness! I may or may not be willing to admit that she deserved to win. We’ll see how things go.

Next year: Team Katniss!

I have muffins, chocolate eggs and copious amounts of tea. Come soothe your nerves before having to find out the results. There’s enough for everyone, I’m sure!

I didn’t move my allegiances to Lyra just to have them stomped all over!

(But if Lyra does win … who will PoM be championing next year? This, this I want to know.)
Juniper commented on the post, This Weekend Open Thread is Sort of an Adult, I Guess 6 years, 10 months ago

There’s part of me that would like to hire a cleaner (this is assuming we’d have the money, ha), but I know I would clean the house before the cleaner came because deargoodness I couldn’t let someone come in and […]
Juniper commented on the post, This Week in Misogyny is a Magical Unicorn 6 years, 10 months ago

Toy colours have been frustrating again here. We’ve tried as much as we can to get bright neutral colours, but so often it’s either “girl colours” of muddy “boy colours”. I think we have a good mix, but still, MORE COLOURS!

That Harvard book news was just, um, I rather do wish I hadn’t clicked the link.

Oh wow! This is epic Freckle! Squee!

Aw! This was lovely on lots of levels!! Squee! Definitely time to start reading. Though I will share what Juniper Junior said to me earlier today: “You can’t choose Harry Potter every time!”
