“I’m that bitch” - Ella Dawson while schooling an ignorant troll

Ella Dawson has genital herpes, and she wants to tell you about it. 

She’s not speaking up for the shock value — she’s telling you because she wants all of us to be able to talk about STIs without shame or stigma. When we make it okay to talk about, she says, people are more likely to get tested and less likely to be afraid to share their status. 

In her badass talk at TEDxConnecticut College, Ella tells the story of her diagnosis, how she overcame feeling like “human trash,” and why we need to end the stigma — now. It’s packed with information (and a shot of humor), and if you didn’t already agree with her, you will by the time she’s done.

Watch the full talk or read the transcript here.

(Full disclosure: Ella is TED’s social media manager. This post was written by her boss who is so incredibly proud of how fearlessly she speaks out.)

Q. Do you prefer to write fluff or angst?

A. Angst. I have more personal experience with angst and, therefore, the writing comes easier for me.

I kinda love this, especially spray painted Heda spoon. Oops! I meant , “ spray painted Heda front spoon and protector of the Clarke”. Let it be known that there is front and back or top and bottom spoon.

i didn’t notice this before bc the scene is so tender & beautiful & the filming is so up close & at like this weird angle but clarke is def spooning lexa?? like she traces up her arm & like it’s so clear but i couldn’t see it

lexa, commander of the blood, was the little spoon
