you are worthy of relationships that are reciprocal, considerate and intentional. and that isn’t limited to romantic love

it’s actually quite easy to take over a small local government group if you really want to, bc if you volunteer consistently people will just put you in charge of whatever. I’m now one of like three people at a nature preserve making official decisions about trails, events, putting in a prairie, and designing a series of illustrations for a storybook trail etc., and it’s just because last summer I started coming over once a week to help the naturalist out for a couple hours. Mine now. you too can steal an organization and shape it to your will 🫵

if there was any justice at all in the world “every helen has her troy” would be an idiom (“every beautiful woman leaves a disaster in her wake”) and misogynistic renaissance authors would use it to describe hot women they didn’t like but, of course, inadvertently making her sound insanely awesome in the process. and then in modern times instead of talking about things being their hill to die on women could say “this is my troy to burn” and people on tumblr would be kind of horny about the whole thing and it would get incorporated into the whole “can yuo put that out on me” genre of posts. anyway just a glimpse into my beautiful mind tonight

That “strong independent woman” thing gets a lot darker when you stop romanticizing it. Half of them didn’t choose independence because it looked pretty. They learned it because nobody came. Nobody noticed. Nobody made it safe enough to rest. So they got good at carrying everything alone and called it strength because the alternative sounded too sad. Some women don’t need someone impressed by how strong they are. They need someone who sees how tired that strength made them.

sex is a distraction from your true purpose in life which is to go to the aquarium and look at the fish and go "wooooooaaah.... fishies". cmon guys we all need to lock in.

the feminine urge to have my absence be felt

Well now I really want to watch this movie.

i know they say no one is coming to save you but why the fuck not

Health classes really ought to teach people what the beginning stages of addiction are like because a lot of people don’t realize they’re addicted to something until they’re years deep into it.

continually astounded to learn that someone around me is actually for real christian. like. aren't you supposed to grow out of that

happy 77 years to the best week of this kid's life
