Like a Far-off Memory

getting over your hatred for pink is self-care

I love that we’ve all had this shared journey of falling in love with pink and realizing that it’s ok to like pink

Starting out loving being girls, then realising what it means to be a girl, rejecting that and trying to be ‘not like other girls’, realising that it’s not about girls it’s about the patriarchy, learning to love being a woman.

i’m starting to realize the “friendship where we bully each other” thing is a complicated subject for me, because as a survivor of bullying and my interests being mocked for basically my entire life, i don’t really find it funny or endearing when pals do it. i don’t mind gentle insults and inside jokes, but idk, there has to be a point where you go “maybe i shouldn’t cut on my friend’s new oc or special interest” and stop yourself. i think we should all try a little harder to know that boundary and not put our friends in those situations

Honestly shoutout to The Social Network for giving us the line “you’re going to go through life thinking that girls don’t like you because you’re a nerd. And I want you to know, from the bottom of my heart, that that won’t be true. It’ll be because you’re an asshole” because if that doesn’t epitomize women’s feelings for entitled male nerds I don’t know what does

My students are up to something. They keep coming up to me and handing me pieces of fruit, and when I ask why, they just smile cryptically and say, “Don’t worry about it.”

Like, the apples I get. That’s a teacherly thing to give. But one of them just straight up handed me a grape.

That was wild until the finish.

this is the most wholesome prank. literally wholesome. full of vitamins and everything.

This is actually really cool, especially for people who can’t drink alcohol, like people with liver/digestive/processing issues.

That and alcoholism is such a weirdly normal thing and it shouldnt be, this is super important

hi can we normalize the idea of choosing not to drink

no cuz thats fucking lame

hey it actually isn’t! i get really really sick whenever i have more than a beer or two and i absolutely hate how people assume i must be lame/a kill joy when i refuse a drink. people choose to be sober or mostly sober for a variety of reasons, e.g. addiction, medical, etc. and not a single one of them is “because i’m a lame person who hates fun” 

The degree to which drinking is seen as a must in social situations is fucking weird, and I think the fact that people are more put off by non-drinkers than by how much alcohol consumption has permeated the culture is … troubling.

Yup, not drinking isn’t lame at all, be cool, c'mon

Might fuck around and get into one of those funky little pods Sora was in and sleep for a year

notice how “girls mature faster” is never stated as a reason why girls should be given more positions of power and authority? It only works to hold girls to greater accountability than boys and to justify men’s attraction to them.

it’s never too late to start again. 5pm on a thursday can be your new monday. you don’t have to wait until the new year to better yourself. time is an illusion, don’t forget that. just because you woke up at 1pm, it doesn’t mean you messed your whole day up and that you can’t turn the mood around. it’s never too late to start again!!!!!

That time of night as an adult where you’re desperately tired and want to sleep but you also don’t want to give up the day yet bc there’s stuff you wanna do. I’m calling it the toddler hour

This post came into my bedroom and punched me in the face

THANK YOU

I was really depressed today and my gf convinced me to go take a bath and then a nap and when I came back out into the main area of our apartment she had cleaned, lit candles, and made me dinner I’m gonna fucking cry I love her so much
