Oh, Internet!

I've been laid up with what my doctor thinks is the flu, so I've been in bed browsing Twitter. Also, my doctor prescribed me cough syrup that contains codeine.

The Independent was tweeting about a story on the UK's favourite sex positions, so that was cool. I'm not British, and thanks to body dysphoria, I'm pretty much 0 for 2 on that score. I'd also read a bunch of articles this month, so I didn't want to waste one of my freebies on such an obvious grab for attention. So I guessed.

Westsidebecca and I started tweeting our favourites [sic] (HAHAHAHA I MADE A FUNNY ABOUT THE LETTER "U"). Our circle of largely feminist friends (pretty much all of whom are sex-positive, because that's how I roll) joined in, and the whole thing took off. It's tooooooootally the first time something like this has happened, because we're all humourless cunts, obvs.

In conclusion, #trends.
