A few years ago a roommate abruptly decided to move out to live with her boyfriend, and I ended up spending half a year sharing an apartment with someone I had never met before: an Egyptian girl with very limited English.

She was confused by my appearance and asked me “boy or girl?” It took me a while to understand what she was saying, but eventually she got the point across, and I told her that I was a girl. She seemed unsatisfied, and I explained that I was transgender. Unsurprisingly, she didn’t know the word.

We ended communicating by typing our respective sentences into Google Translate. Unfortunately, whatever the Arabic word for “transgender” is, it wasn’t a word she knew either. Eventually I ended up typing in “I used to be a boy but it made me unhappy so I decided to be a girl.” She stared at it for a moment then asked “You are happy now?” I said yes, and she smiled and looked thoughtful.

A couple hours later she came up to me and said “You and me, we are sisters,” and gave me a hug. “You say you are girl, you are girl.”

Man shouldn’t be able to see his own face – there’s nothing more sinister. Nature gave him the gift of not being able to see it, and of not being able to stare into his own eyes.

Only in the water of rivers and ponds could he look at his face. And the very posture he had to assume was symbolic. He had to bend over, stoop down, to commit the ignominy of beholding himself.

The inventor of the mirror poisoned the human heart.

— Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet (1982)

TODAY I LEARNED CARNIVOROUS SUCCULENTS EXIST

They’re known as Butterworts or Pinguicula and they are officially THE COOLEST PLANTS EVER

See those leaves? They’re coated with DIGESTIVE ENZYMES TO TRAP AND KILL INSECTS

And they look FREAKING AMAZING

This has been your Cool Thing of the Day you’re welcome

[80sloveeegalaxy]

This is what I shall buy for my youngest brother. What makes us super is our ability to be both feminine & masculine all at once, just as this plant is. She is beautiful, some may call her delicate. But do not mistake that for weakness for her shiny parts are the most deadly 😈

One of the truest things I’ve ever heard is that people who say they’re “brutally honest” are more interested in the brutality than the honesty.

Most people didn’t realize Foxy Brown was so young when she came out because she was marketed as a sex symbol. People assumed she was like 20 when she came out. I believe that is why no one paid attention to Jay and Foxy like that. She was a teenage sex symbol : (I.E. Britney Spears). Let that sink in. Foxy was 15 when she dealt with Jay. Jay was 27.
