when kristin chang said godhood is just like girlhood: a begging to be believed or when laurie penny said it’s no surprise that so many women and girls have control issues around their bodies or when fiona apple said there’s no hope for women or when elana dykewomon said almost every woman i have ever met has a secret belief that she is just on the edge of madness or when carolyn gage said you can terrorize her with her own body and then she will torture herself or when angela carter said i often felt like a female impersonator or when leslie feinberg said i don’t feel like a man trapped in a woman’s body i just feel trapped
One of the most underappeciated lines in the series is when Jacob’s like “but BELLA I’m a WEREWOLF and he’s a VAMPIRE we’re dangerous!!!” And she just screams “well guess what Jacob?? I’m a fucking virgo!!” honestly? iconic
my brain @ me literally every 20 seconds: what if, literally truly anything but these words and pages specifically

The Modern Woman lives every second of her public life
imagining what the surveillance footage will look like should she shortly be murdered.
You are a woman with a security camera inside watching a woman;
can you save her?
Do you want to?
New goddess idea: She’s an earth goddess of the new age who’s domain is spinning and weaving, but specifically spinning and weaving gigantic structural steel cables for construction and other industrial purposes. Her skin is steel grey and hard to the touch and her hair is like long dredlocks of woven steel. She laughs at shitty architecture deigns that will fall apart if actually built and protects well-made bridges and buildings she likes. She might warn you of unforseen danger if you always wear your proper PPE.
Okay now what do I name her
O’sha.
Obviously
THAT’S PERFECT
I AM ALWAYS HERE FOR QUALITY WORKPLACE SAFETY REGULATION PUNS
That’s my goddess. 👍🏻
May O’sha bless you with earplugs that are comfortable and respirators that fit perfectly.
And good steel. Always good steel.
May your steel deliveries be always on time and your rebar strong
