Re-Feminist History (aka Bitchstory)

Pluto Return: The Underworld Court Has Spoken What we’re living through Pluto — the planet of power, death, rebirth, secrets, shadow, and irreversible change — returned to the degree it occupied at the founding of the United States (circa Declaration of Independence). Astrologers note this happened in 2022 with exact hits and intensification through 2024, and then Pluto moved into Aquarius, beginning a long new era of transformation. It’s important to understand why this matters astrologically: A planetary return is a rare cycle where a planet comes back to the same zodiac position it held at birth or foundation — like completing its own generational chapter. Pluto takes roughly 248 years to orbit, so a nation only experiences this once. Pluto transits unfold over decades, not days, and the deepest effects tend to emerge after the exact hit — changing not just structures, but worldviews and power logics.

Arendt was a German-Jewish political theorist who fled the Nazis, landed in the United State...

  He killed her. And after he did, he called her a “fucking bitch.” Not during a struggle. Not in fear. After. That word didn’t slip out accidentally. It arrived fully formed. Comfortable. Familiar. Practiced. Every woman I know recognized the tone instantly. Not as politics. As memory. Because we’ve heard it before. In kitchens. In cars. In breakups that turned into threats. In workplaces. In bedrooms. In courtrooms. It’s the voice men use when they decide your humanity is optional. And here’s the part that keeps circling in my head: It wouldn’t have mattered what she did. It wouldn’t have mattered if she was polite. Or calm. Or compliant. Or quiet. Or grateful. Or perfect. Because the word doesn’t describe behavior. It describes disobedience. Every woman learns this early: You can be kind and still be called a bitch. You can be careful and still be called a bitch. You can be small and still be called a bitch. You can be bleeding and ...
