hey y’all i’ve got a question, how do i add a read more cut on the tumblr app? is that possible? it annoys me that all of my stories are just huge lengthy posts and i really want to add that cut line but i’m not sure how. can anyone help?

hookup culture has men enjoying 100% orgasms while women only manage to orgasm 7% of the time

Relevant quotes from the full study:

"Research suggests that women may set the bar for satisfactory sex quite low - specifically, the absence of pain and degradation rather than the presence of pleasure and orgasm."

[Regarding men being more likely to engage in manual clitoral stimulation and oral sex when in a relationship, while fellatio was prevalent among hook-ups and relationships] "According to the authors, these findings suggest the orgasm gap is larger in casual sex because women are less likely to feel entitled to seek their own sexual pleasure and men are less motivated to provide their partners with pleasure..."

so what do women gain from sexual liberation and hookup culture? they get no orgasms, no emotional support and still get judged and slutshamed by society.

it seems to me that sexual liberation is a misnomer and hookup culture which is marketed to women as a way of expressing their sexual freedom and overcoming the unfair patriarchal standards women were supposed to live up to is actually a way to get women to accept less commitment and emotional investment.

some of y'all have never read 100 books in one summer to earn a personal pan pizza and it shows

I’ve had a story idea rolling around my head for a long time and I’ve been basically spinning my wheels trying to hone my skills (read: procrastinating and doing a lot of unrelated things) to make it into a webcomic. Had a title picked out and everything that felt tonally relevant to the story and characters. I was going to call it Anywhere But Here; it seemed pertinent to this tone of restless personalities that are distinctly tied to the setting of the piece. I even recently reserved a tumblr url for that name (took me a while to find a variation that wasn’t already occupied).

I should’ve checked to be sure the name wasn’t already taken.

Not only are there several books by that name (I figured this was workable) there’s also a Natalie Portman film that comes up every time you google “Anywhere But Here”.

I spitballed about the pipe dream of someday having the goal of surpassing this movie in terms of google search result priority. And if that ever happened, tweeting at Natalie Portman as if it were something she would have given a crap about and probably she would never see it but it’d be dumb fun inside joke made very outside.

Then I decided to more specifically google “anywhere but here webcomic”

and wouldn’t you know it

In hindsight, you’d think that would’ve been my first step.

It’s some dumb newspaper comic style rag that hasn’t updated since 2006/2008/I don’t actually care when. Not something I’d really want to be accidentally associated with.

And just like that, down crashed any dreams of a fake made-up rivalry with Natalie Portman.

This is your sign to read that book which has been on your shelves for quite some time.
