jenkirkman:
I’m on a Twitter strike. I am so sick of the way men on Twitter treat women. And my male friends always DM me or text me or email me or talk to me about how they hate it too but they never speak up.
Let me be perfectly clear - this has nothing to do with the “women aren’t funny” argument. I am…

Compilation zine - Get Fit for the Pit #1
