what marisa said when i confessed that i have never read “cunt”

please read cunt. you will read it in like two hours. you will never laugh so hard. you’re going to want to call me every 30 seconds. it is the most next level and essential for our advanced feminist humor.

she talks in crazy detail about her abortions and how if you positively envision your uterine lining shedding, you can basically induce a miscarriage. It’s BONKERS. But it’s also really compelling. There’s a whole part about her blood rag or something. She wears it wrapped around her waist at home—she has roommates—on the first day of her period and wipes the blood off her thighs with it and sits on it but otherwise lets herself bleed. on the floor. of her apartment. where other people live. inga muscio went to evergreen in case there was any doubt about that in your mind.

i like that marisa knows exactly what to say to get me to buy this book, like, asap. 

it sounds like i need to read it for my dissertation! when people ask me what i study i might just start saying “menstrual art.”
