I feel bad
that a couple people started following me right before I decided to disappear. Oh well. I will be back, guys. Just have to get through the next few weeks of copious amounts of homework. I whine about never having time to do stuff and then spend hours on here. It ain’t right. If I don’t spend time on here and STILL don’t have time to do stuff, THEN I am allowed to complain. ...

Think about this.
Rihanna got so much goddamn flack for showing her kill a man the music video for “Man Down”. A man who raped her in the video. People were up in arms over a video that IS NOT REAL that shows a victim retaliating against her rapist.
On the other hand, Chris Brown beats Rihanna to a pulp IN REAL LIFE and now he is performing at the Grammy’s and getting #1’s...
It really is horrifying

that Kanye West got not only more flack, but a worse reputation for grabbing a microphone out of Taylor Swift’s hands and making a rude comment than Chris Brown did for beating his girlfriend until her face was unrecognizable.
i think we need to ask what role racism plays in this. the message is that it’s not okay to be...

Misandry?
squashed:
I mean, I guess it’s a thing, even if it’s not a particularly widespread problem. But most things labeled “misandry” are really just people playing that “[my gender] rules, [your gender] drools” game. And if you didn’t get over that in third grade, I suppose a word like misandry might come in useful. But other than that? Widespread and systemic fear of or discrimination against men...

– Ryking, missing the point. Female writers, poltical activists, politicians, religious leaders and voters ALL had to fight tooth and nail for any say they were given (by the men who set the rules for society). To pretend that because they fought for what little rights and representation that was...

heehee. i’ve actually used (unsweetened) vanilla in mac and cheese and it was only KINDA weird. :)
ha well it made my eggs smell like cookies, which you’d think would be good, but it was gross. maybe it’s just me, though, because a lot of food has been less good since i’ve been sick.

There are so many powerful women who I have an infatuation with. These are not necessarily pretty women according to “industry standards” but they are strong, have charisma and I can’t get enough reading about them, or just immersing myself in their lives, their work and whatever keeps them occupied.
Currently under my microscope:
Dilma Rousseff*.
The list is too long to...

poptimism replied to your post: just made an omelet with almond milk
if you get the unsweetened kind, it’s great with cereal and i’ve used it in mac and cheese and stuff before.
Ah, I think I found the problem: I was getting Vanilla because I only really ever use it in my coffee, and I totally forgot that’s the kind I get. lolz
It’s just that my regular milk went bad because I only...

How Not To Write About Female Musicians →
lyriquediscorde:
I could go on for a very, very long time about how much this article resonates with me, how much I loathe what has been written about Lana Del Rey (and while we are at it, Taylor Swift) as of late.
I am also reminded of all that has been written about Courtney Love as scandalous/shameful, when one would never point such things out about other rock stars such as Mick Jagger,...

OK I HAVE A VERY SERIOUS QUESTION FOR EVERYBODY
There is a spider in my car.
It crawled down somewhere between the windshield and dash yesterday, right after I noticed it.
I am not particularly arachnophobic, but if said spider crawls or jumps on me, I WILL fucking scream and freak out, which is not something I need to do whilst driving.
I am willing to get him out by any means necessary, short of fumigation or filling my car with toxic...
Sometimes (all the time) I get so fucking worked...
that I think it’s harmful to my mental health. Because there’s not a lot I feel I can do to fight it. I can yell and scream, but it feels like nobody is listening. I can call it out every time I see it, but I feel like I can’t change anybody’s mind.
It’s so frustrating.
I have considered myself a feminist for a long time, but when I was younger, I was pretty...

by the comments on all articles regarding rape culture, objectification of women, and any violence towards women.
The number of comments (mostly from men) blasting the articles as “feminist propaganda” or “typical feminist sexism” and other bullshit stuff is, while not entirely surprising, both terrifying and nauseating. They would argue with me if I told them this, but...
