READ THIS BEFORE COMMENTING Even with the much higher levels of testosterone that men have than women, it is still not comparable to postpartum psychosis. Testosterone is associated with things like se*ual motivation, competitiveness, and sometimes aggression, but it does not compel someone to rape. R*pe is fundamentally a choice to violate another person’s consent. Postpartum psychosis is a severe psychiatric condition involving a loss of contact with reality. Someone experiencing it may have hallucinations, delusions, extreme confusion, paranoia, or severely disorganized thinking. So yeah… NOT THE SAME THING. I hate that these people get to vote. ##hormones##postpartum##testosterone ##men##women

Drunk Pirates show, then to a blues bar, then to a Vietnamese restaurant, and the beauty of Houston is no one batted an eye at a 6ft tall woman clad in leather, “knee high” boots, and a corset walking around. I’ve been brainstorming what to do to celebrate my 38th birthday that feels like it’s around the corner… a trip, a group potluck feast with a theme, be a hermit and do culinary classes every day for a week, go back to blonde, so many ideas… I do know one thing for sure, though. The Clancy case was horrifically botched, and everyone involved in that investigation and testimony should be investigated. Especially Patrick. #pirate #houston #htown #justsaying #leather

#stitch with @rainysunnyorcloudy What I do now it’s so much more relaxed, I have so much more autonomy, I don’t have to spend any of my own money. I’m respected, it’s understood and expected that I have a life outside my job, and I’m making a significant amount more money. Like… a life-changing amount more. By the end of this last school year, my body was quite literally falling apart. I had acquired new autoimmune issues throughout the school year, I was in excruciating pain every day, my mental health is dragging. The thought of stepping away from teaching after existing in that world with so much passion for 11 years was a shock to get my head around, but I knew I had to do it for myself. It’s only been a few months since I stepped away from the classroom, but it feels like a lifetime because of how much my life has improved in practically every way. #movingon #leavingteaching #teacher #makingchanges
