My Reaction to Mad Max: Fury Road and the Utter Perfection that is Imperator Furiosa
Okay so. Buckle up, kids. It’s time for Furiosa feels.
Here’s the thing.
I am what’s called a fetal amputee. Fancy way for saying I was born with a missing limb. I’ve written about this on here before, but it’s been a long time and I’ve gained a lot of new followers recently (hai guyz) so it might be news to some of you.

Money. →
SWERFs and other abolitionists who post about their sad, icky feelings about sex work in the sex work tag should explain where they get their own money so we can analyze and criticize them the way they do about us. I bet 99% of them are either still supported by their parents or are privileged…
