Dancing in the Wings

life is so subtle sometimes that you barely notice yourself walking through the doors you once prayed would open.

dy/dx too scary

honestly one of the best things grad school’s taught me so far is it’s okay to be wrong or admit you don’t know something. i used to be terrified and embarrassed to be wrong or not know the answer to a question. but now my boss says “i don’t know” all the time. i hear other professors go “huh that’s interesting i’ve never thought about that!” during lectures or seminars. i’ve witnessed nationally renowned speakers say “you know what, i have no idea” to hundreds of people in the audience. and when someone’s wrong they just go “i apologize. that’s my mistake” and it’s great. i have so much respect for people who can admit they don’t know or were wrong about something. because honestly any specialty in science is sooo huge and always changing and it’s just impossible to know everything about anything ya know? so not knowing something or admitting you’re wrong is a-ok and i love it. 

this is the first post i have EVER seen about native americans, i really appreciate this

Remember when Netflix and Tumblr didn’t exist and you read like 10 books a week? Good times.

Everybody that reblogs this by May 10th will get a traditionally drawn character based on what I think you look like after scrolling through your blog

I think he will have stopped because of how many fucking people xD

nope, im doing everybody that reblogs this! the only thing its doing is making it take a bit longer. i could easily put out 20 or 30 of them in a day, maybe even more if im feeling productive (i draw a lot in my spare time), so really, its just giving me more practice, which is good. im not stopping because of the numbers!

my opinions on racism will always be limited as I’m from a position of white privilege, so whilst it’s so important to call out racial inequality and oppression when I see it, it’s also important for me to recognise that my voice should not shout over those who have actually experienced racism and have a far better understanding of how it operates then I ever will

*apologizes for being distant* *apologizes for being affectionate*

*apologizes in general*

*apologizes for apologizing*

Consent is needed every time, no matter what the relationship is

shes terrifying, 

What the actual fuck?

Wow she’s scary.

You’re no feminist if this doesn’t bother you, that you don’t see the rape vibes here. Women can and do rape men. They use force, they use words, they can manipulate- just like men do. And it is just as wrong.

I had that almost happened once.

I bothered to tell my brother that my boyfriend was ace and he scoffed at me and said “Hes a guy. He has to want sex” and I was like Fuck off.  Oh my god.

“No means no only when I say it” WOW THAT IS TERRIFYING, HOLY SHIT.
