This reminds me of a discussion we had in school, and one girl was talking about living in fear of her safety because she is a girl, and this guy chimed in and was all “It’s hard for guys...
It's even better if you realize I was painted grey...
stananigans:
No matter how awesome your outfits are, at some point, you will wear something someone else thinks is dumb. No matter how awesome someone else thinks their outfits are, you may think their outfit is dumb. That’s just the way of the world. Don’t be rude about it and I figure you’re covered.

bruised-ghost:
this is really selfish but
why can’t mental illness be like any other kind of sickness where you go to hospital and your loved ones come and give you flowers and tell you that they love you and hold your hand and make sure you get better
why doesn’t that happen instead of awkward silences and embarrassing tears and messy bedsheets and a bunch of other stuff no one actually...

A few months ago a friend of mine asked me if I consider myself a feminist, and responded with uncomprehending outrage when I said that I did not. There were a lot of us in that conversation, so it was hard for me to explain my position in the ensuing crossfire. My friend was…

there were 7 billion pieces of biodegradable confetti, to represent each person in the world.
out there, in London, in the Olympic Stadium, there is a piece of biodegradable confetti dedicated to me.
#i hope mine fell in someone’s crotch
I hope mine hit someone in the eye and blinded them a little bit
Most accurate part of the olympic opening?

The post is a smackdown of some incompetent douchnozzle who has a stick up his ass about some imaginary women who do cosplay in order to get drooled on by geeks for a cheap ego boost while caring nothing about the actual fandom (a neat...

On the subject of Bob Ross, I feel pretty strongly that as a kid growing up in the 90s we had the best educational television. TRIFECTA: Bob Ross, Bill Nye, LeVar Burton. It was kind of awesome, I feel really lucky.
I think the best part was that it was all really sincere. It wasn’t a bunch of…

Why I Love My Mother
Politician at door: (blah blah blah)...and my strong commitment to traditional family values, as my wife of 28 years will attest.
Shade's mom: Sir, I don't care if you have orgies every Tuesday night so long as you get your job done.
Politician: ...
Shade's mom: Also, if "traditional family values" is a sneaky way of saying "anti-gay marriage stance," you should know that my daughter is bisexual, and if I never get to cry at her wedding because some law you passed made her wedding illegal, I will personally see that your wife of 28 years has a lesbian awakening in time for you to discover the virtues of traditional divorce.
Politician: ...you have yourself a nice day, m'am.

I’m still having trouble with this. There’s the save children from ravenous prairie dogs route. There’s also heart attack from actually being in Misha’s presence. Ultimately though I feel like your death should either turn into one hell of an urban legend, or one hell of a bar story. Either way…

I actually love robert pattinson not because he played edward in the twilight series but because he’s a ruthless sarcastic twat and I admire that
Me: I love the names for groups of animals. A murder of crows. An unkindness of ravens.
Otana: From murder to unkindness, I guess we know who the real badasses of the animal kingdom are. What's next, a mild inconvenience of sparrows?
Me: A vague annoyance of robins.
Otana: An oh God fuck off already of pigeons.
