DON'T CUT YOUR HANDS ON MY HEART

Whenever you’re feeling sudden calm its because I took your voodoo doll out for a picnic on a grassy hill

thank you

This is my favorite video of all time, I’m not even exaggerating

The rain, the piano, the view… wow everything made this video my fave

i’m at such a ?? time of my life i’m just ???????????????????????? like ????????

hey not to be absolutely fucking morbid on main or anything but if we do reach a point where the rich try to escape extinction by fleeing earth to live on their secret mars colony or whatever my dying moments will be taking solace in the fact that a society comprised solely of the 1% of the richest people on the planet will tear itself apart in under a year

can’t wait for Fyre Fest 2 on mars

not to be overly optimistic on main but without the 1% we might stand a chance 

i don’t want to achieve equality by sinking to men’s level, i want them to get on ours! why should i have to unlearn the conversational art of waiting my turn, unlearn sexual self-restraint, unlearn trust in others’ good intentions, unlearn the impulse to cater to others’ needs, just to have a chance at success among savages? why can’t the men learn some fucking manners so we can all conduct our affairs in a civilized manner? i shouldn’t have to stop saying sorry, you say sorry!

In the 80s when I was in my freshman year in college, they still had entirely separate mens and women’s dorms. I was in class waiting for a final to start and one of the guys was telling someone about how he had had to go into a women’s dorm to drop something off, and he was startled to see posters on the walls, flowers, curtains, etc. He said his men’s dorm had holes in the walls, things on fire, fights, guys walking around with open wounds and he just didn’t understand why they had to live like this. He said, “I want to live with the women, in civilization.”

Am reading Sisterhood of Spies, about women working for the OSS during WWII. One of the stories mentions that the women in London had a male visitor who would eat in their mess hall once a month. He was married and wasn’t interested in hitting on any of the women; he just wanted to eat in an atmosphere where people said “Please pass the butter,” instead of “PASS THE GODDAMNED GREASE”

I dated a guy who brought me along on group activities (movies, video game night, etc.) with four or five other male friends. Once I mentioned to one of the other guys that I hoped I wasn’t intruding on their “guy time” or some such. He got this sort of rueful look and said, “The truth is, I really like it when you’re here because it gives us a reason to act better. When it’s just guys, we all have to try to outdo each other with how vile we are.”

So the moral of these stories are men don’t even treat each other like human beings.

That first post was exactly what I wanted to say but couldn’t express about the whole ‘men expect women to move for them on the pavement’ thing. I saw this post encouraging you to walk in XYZ way to look tough so men will actually move for you, and yeah, nice if you like that kind of thing but… I don’t want to have to be fucking rude and barge along the street making people get out of my way. Why can’t other people learn to be polite?

ive tried opening my mouth and saying words before nd ive gotta say. im not a fan

More people are concerned with why women stay in abusive relationships than why men are abusing women

SAY IT AGAIN

Don’t assume malice. Assume ignorance. Life is easier, the world is kinder, and you can educate. Actual malice is pretty rare, I find. 

Time to cross-stitch!

This seems pretty relevant right now…

why isn’t anyone allowed to be wrong anymore? it’s okay to be wrong. no one should be terrified of every tiny little mistake they might make. being wrong, and realizing you were wrong, is how you learn and grow and change.

She’s a fucking genius

be careful with how much you tolerate. you are teaching them how to treat you

The ahh was so much deeper and the woo so much softer than i could have expected i love it

it always warms my heart to see birds approving human music like we did it guys we impressed the best

quick question: how the fuck do I get through the rest of my life like this
