girl who has ibuprofen: I have ibuprofen if you need it btw

It's kind of wild how in the 21st century when it's not even that unusual to live to be 100 years old anymore, that people will say stuff like "life's too short for not getting over your ex" when someone's been bummed about getting dumped for like a year or something, when in like 1800s a guy could make mourning the love of his life his whole personality for 20 years straight before dying of an infected cut at the age of 46 and nobody could do or say shit about it because that's just what people are like sometimes. And she didn't even die, she just got married to someone else.

i think a lot of poeple think of racism and sexism as something you have to actively opt in to perpetuate rather than something you have to continuously actively opt out of if you want to maybe help dismantle it

The load-bearing difference between people who hate me and the people who don't is their willingness to believe that I really don't do all of my infuriating bullshit on purpose.

it’s that time of year again! get your meds!

audiences have no idea how to be uncomfortable anymore

watch movies that make you uncomfortable read books that make you uncomfortable go to plays that make you uncomfortable watch tv that makes you uncomfortable look at paintings and sculpture and artwork that makes you uncomfortable. it is spiritually and morally and ethically and artistically really really good for you. think about why you are uncomfortable. what biases do you bring to art? what biases does the art bring to you? how do you reconcile this? how does your worldview grow and expand and change? all this and more will be answered and available to you if you just engage with art that does not coddle you and treats you like an intelligent human being that can sit through discomfort

*sinking my teeth into my own flesh* I’m working through it-

Netflix has a lot of nerve crying and screaming and throwing up and having a tantrum about how password sharing is killing their business and making them hemorrhage money and how they're just struggling to stay afloat, then turning around and spending 72 billion dollars trying to become a monopoly by buying fucking Warner Bros

As fucked up and traumatized and emotionally unavailable as my father was… he fuckin tried. He tried so goddamn hard. Went to PARENTING CLASSES on HIS OWN. Taught himself HOW TO READ so he could read me bedtime stories. He taught me how to be independent. How to stand up for myself. How to fight back. He taught me how to not need men like him.

My dad broke down in fucking tears once because he wasn’t doing (in his estimation) a good enough job of braiding my hair before school

This fucking guy got dumped by my mom in the middle of the night. She just fucking ditched both of us. He became an alcoholic from the pain, can’t blame him. But then he saw the way it was hurting me. And he pulled his shit together. HIMSELF. No rehab. No AA. Stupid motherfucker went cold turkey at home alone except for me and I held his hands while he begged god for mercy through his DTs.

Dad would fuckin play Mockingbird for me because he was so bad with words and needed me to know how he felt.

My dad taught himself how to read at the age of like 45 so that he could read me Harry Potter as a bedtime story after my mom left and it still makes me emotional. Like he cared that much.

I went to this Northwest Passage museum once where they had the white explorers' journals on one side of the exhibit and the native people's accounts on the other side of the exhibit and the explorer journals were like "our canoe had almost sunk when we encountered some kindly Indians" and the native histories were like "we watched a bunch of strangers come down the river in the shittiest canoe you'd ever seen. Also, they had no rain gear"
