the most horrifying bit of the Depp v Heard trial is it's not about whether he domestically abused her. he did, that's legally settled. it is literally about whether she is allowed to talk about it.

do Red Bull athletes really drink that much Red Bull or do they all get given empty cans filled with water to pose with? I say this because even if I didn't have to drive an F1 car I would die if I drank 3 Red Bulls a day and I am pretty good at consuming unhealthy bevs

this is TMI but I'm a cis woman and I don't have to get cervical screening because, after two rounds with cancer, I don't have a cervix in the conventional sense (I get a different kind of screening don't worry) - so this language is right for cis women
