Current theme: #wordstodescribewomen.

To be the pillage of a giglet wench.
Shakes. Henry VI.

The fam’d Cassibelan was once at point,

Shakes. Cymbeline, III.1

Shakes. Measure for Measure.

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
