Eldest Daughter Support Line

There is a bizarre tendency among modern youth to look at the MENA region and basically think, "Oh, that's Muslimland. That's where Muslims came from and always have been. Of course there aren't Christians or Jews there, why would they be living in Muslimland?" I dearly wish that people who support Palestine or the Iranian Mullahs would pick up an actual history book at least once in their goddamn lives.

They also seem to think Christianity is from Northern Europe and Buddhism is from China.

I would be a lot more patient with ads if they stopped promising to bring my family closer together. You are laundry detergent.

everyone eat more vegetables NOW!!! and mention the last vegetable you ate in the tags so we're all on the buddy system. I'll start: bok choy

my hands hurt

oh, I'm sorry the themes of patience and fidelity weren't hashtag girlboss enough for you.

I wish more people got this because some ‘low-empathy’ people are the most compassionate and sympathetic in the universe, and I hate it when that’s taken to mean ‘unfeeling and probably hostile’ when nothing could be further from the truth

Sympathy: that sucks bro empathy: I feel that compassion: want me to send you some puppy and kitten pictures to make you feel better?

Posts like this make me feel so much better. It always seems like society treat responses to others pain as though empathy is the most important kind. I am around 85% compassionate and this post helped me not feel like I am a monster because of that for once.
