mistake my kindness for weakness

#‘I HAVE BIG FEELINGS’ is only allowed for toddlers#you are an adult. use your words. stop making excuses.#bet these men dont do that around their bosses or anywhere there could be consequences they care about either 💅

Reblogging in honor of Marjane Satrapi, one of THE great graphic novelists. Her comic Persepolis was a crucial text for shaping my belief that comics can deeply explore identity, culture, politics, and history.

I love when I get a migraine and I'm racking my brain for a reason—hormones? slept less than I should have? I've been slacking on the magnesium supplements? dehydration? rebound headache? insufficient caffeine? too much caffeine? wisdom teeth? undiagnosed brain tumor? some stranger etsy witch'd me because I blocked them for being rude to me on the internet? my telekinetic powers are finally coming in?—and then right as the pain in my skull is cresting I hear a massive peal of thunder from outside

one of the most challenging skills i've had to learn as an adult is the art of figuring out whether i'm proportionally annoyed with someone or just tired and overstimulated and looking for reasons to be pissed off

congratulations to the only post i've ever had breach 100k notes without any real discourse or fighting, just a lot of people wearily going, oh, god, same

If any competition needed to be on Tumblr, it's this one.

Alison Green’s advice works. 

Alison Green got me all my interviews from 2012 onward, I am reasonably sure.

Alison Green is basically my life guide.

Mine too - she was my most visited website for the first few years of my working career, and I cannot emphasise enough how much her advice helped me navigate how to behave in a work environment. You name it, she has an answer for it. Definitely a life hack.
