WOMEN AT FAULT FOR POLITICAL DIVIDE: MARRY A MAGA MAN!

Ridiculous concern trolling by The Washington Post's editors, too cowardly to put a byline for the author, really showcases how grievance has become normalized.

They argue *someone will have to compromise *(meaning women) or else marriage rates will tumble. I think women may have already found their own alternative.🤔

We hear a lot about loneliness, but rarely about the all-encompassing freedom that comes hand in hand with solitude.

It feels taboo to say that singledom can be fulfilling, but (for me at least) it’s more often uplifting than sad.

I wrote a romantic story about being single: https://www.girlonthenet.com/blog/single-life-romance/

Gorgeous art by @stuart_cb as always. What a joy-filled picture.

has anyone any good / articles on Ada Lovelace and Charles Babbage's relationship? I see snips and bits about it here and there but I'd like to find something that does a deep dive.

💔 Alzheimer's 💔
After time spent worrying when you receive the confirmation you have been dreading your heart will break.
❤️ Know it's normal to grieve the loss you are facing.
❤️ Know it's alright to feel sad
to mourn,
to cry.
❤️ It won't be the last time you feel this sorrow.
❤️ Watching your loved one slowly fade into a world the two of you will no longer share is a lonely feeling.
❤️ You will grieve the loss of familiar intimate moments.

The hottest moments in my life haven't come just from ticking weird kinks off an arbitrary bucket list.

My favourite sex stories - kinky or otherwise - grow from intimacy.

If your partner won’t peel an orange for you, you need to find someone else. That could be the takeaway of a popular and very unscientific test on TikTok. Vox’s Alex Abad-Santos talks to an expert about what this true love litmus test is really all about. Not so surprisingly, “An entire intimate relationship can’t be boiled down to what a partner does or doesn’t do with an orange,” says Alexandra Solomon, a psychologist and author who teaches at Northwestern University and specializes in relationships. https://flip.it/ytgay4

Once considered taboo due to the mere suggestion that a couple was having premarital sex, cohabitation before marriage is now the norm. “If nursery rhymes are clues to how couples live their lives, ‘first comes love, then comes marriage’ is sorely outdated,” Allie Volpe writes for Vox. Read more about this cultural trend and dive into the question of whether living together before marriage is good for the relationship. https://flip.it/o.Npuz

How Surveillance Capitalism Is Changing Our Most Intimate Relationships

"It's a mass surveillance infrastructure. An ecosystem keeping track of us for power and profit."

(We may have taken for granted simple things, like taking a walk with a friend without every ring doorbell listening in)

In America, married people get more than 1,000 legal benefits that single people can't access. Vox's Sigal Samuel asks why people in a platonic partnership can't enjoy the same kind of benefits, and why society values friendships less than familial relationships and marriages. Do you have a "best friend?"

I can only avoid ‘catching feelings’ if I stop doing anything affectionate or sexy with men. And where the fuck is the fun in that?
