Houston Museum of Natural Science - Museum Shop | Houston, TX (Bookstore)

I saw these 2 starfish lying like this together at the museum today and I wanted to write a haiku about it.

2 starfish lying on top of each other
Are they boyfriend and girlfriend forever or just one night only?
Do animals know how to have one night stands?

I haven‘t had sex and I don‘t plan to
My ex bf wanted to have sex with me at the movie theater. Nothing happened. I said no and he got mad at me
My body, my choice

I like it better when you tell me no and I do it anyway. 🤦🏼‍♀️ The 18th century certainly has its fair share of frat boys.

Chrissyreadit You are cracking me up -reading these reminds me of how problematic some movies in the 80‘s actually are (especially my beloved 16 candles)I know it‘s comparing apples to oranges but women have been told their words do not matter and their bodies are property for a very long time. 4y

GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit right? The things I used to think were so romantic or just sweet end up being really creepy when you really think about it. It‘s sad, really. So many things I used to love, but have problems with now. 4y

GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit it happens with songs, too. Even more recent songs. I used to love 5150, then I actually thought about it one day and thought, that‘s weird and totally unhealthy. I had to take that song off my gym playlist after that. 4y

Chrissyreadit It has been really interesting watching some programs that were classic with my teens and hearing their horror at what was acceptable- and even embraced! 4y

GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit oh wow, that‘s got to be a trip. We talk so much about teaching kids about consent and respecting others and then they watch these movies we love and they call it out. 4y

Chrissyreadit Exactly! But I‘m so glad they immediately see what is unacceptable 💕 4y

GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit that‘s good, though. It gives me hope for the future. 4y

Wow, seriously not a fan of Samuel Taylor Coleridge. This is like the 19th century (admittedly more poetic) equivalent of “no means yes...” 🤦🏼‍♀️

Chrissyreadit Isn‘t that special 🤮 4y

GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit isn‘t it just? Last I checked joy for most people was sans violence. 4y

Chrissyreadit Unless you are a Republican Senator who finds joy in an insurrection but secretly has to present their country matters if only to provide a vote for a trial they paid no attention to.... 4y

GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit fair point - McConnell literally admitted to doing the opposite of what he swore to do at the beginning of the trial. “He‘s guilty, but I voted to acquit.” WTF?! 4y

Dear Ijeawele, or A Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions | Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

"Tell her that her body belongs to her and her alone, that she should never feel the need to say yes to something she does not want, or something she feels pressured to do. Teach her that saying no when no feels right is something to be proud of."
