Ruth (aka Red), 32, she/her. English by birth, Scottish by choice. Everything fine to reblog unless otherwise stated. I don't reliably tag triggers or spoilers because I forget, so if that's an issue for you, be careful/avoid. Bi, cis, VERY white, sorta disabled, polyamorous, illustrator (art @ongoingart), Quaker, lifelong dork. My first word was 'Zaphod'. According to my dear friend Kofi, "a notable wit and raconteur." Probably NOT an octopus, several cats and a large snake in a human suit, but it's best not to check.

Holy shit man this passing would be huge
It doesn't make abortion legal, and doctors can still be prosecuted for providing abortion outside the UK's tight restrictions, but this amendment means that people would no longer be arrested or prosecuted for obtaining an illegal abortion. Which is an enormous improvement on the current situation.
Still has to pass through Lords but fuck me, good news? On MY news app? It's more likely than you think!
#red said#it's England and Wales obviously so not where i live#but a) i had my abortion in England#b) many Scottish women travel to England for abortions because there's serious lack of access to abortion up to 24 weeks up here#and of course c) abortion law is so confused in Scotland that legal scholars still seen not to agree#on whether there's actually any basis on which a woman getting an abortion is committing a crime#because the Act under which English women are prosecuted doesn't exist in Scots law even though the act making abortion illegal does#so people seeking or accused of obtaining illegal abortions in Scotland are not under the same legal risk as in England#but mostly oh my god. a good thing happening in uk politics. holy shit.

I do kind of fucking hate the “i love the way men love” masterpost because while the stories are of course very moving! it pisses me off to no end the way that it’s framed like invention and grand acts of devotion are this inherently masculine phenomenon opposed to the feminine inclination to just say “I love you” and it just gets circulated around and around uncritically for years lmao

excuse me why did you go 'oh everyone's forgotten the Darkness Of Original Timeline Riverdale and only remembers the good times except Betty and Jughead' and then half an episode later have Archie read a poem where he references Betty having the serial killer genes, Cheryl keeping her taxidermied brother in the basement, that Jughead watched a man die, that Fangs stole people's organs and that Reggie was recast.
were these......HAPPY memories?
wow Archie is the Very Worst Poet Ever. Truly the next Ginsberg.

"No Reggie I didn't throw you over for Archie! I'm actually in a poly quad because I realised I didn't have to choose between the people I'm attracted to. So I actually threw you over for THREE people I wanted to fuck more than I wanted to fuck you, hope this helps!"

Ok I see they're actually a polycule in the finale. Personal taste but take Jughead out of the throuple please.
I think it's incredibly stupid that they made Betty and Veronica and Archie and Reggie kiss only to immediately restraighten everyone for the finale. wow guys you really challenged heteronormativity with this one.
