Me walking into my professor's office for a meeting:

[creekfiend]

drives me nuts when ppl act like its somehow feminist to be a huge asshole to people because 'men are allowed to behave that way,' or whatever. ok. well i dont think men should be treating people like that either. and if they talk to me like you are talking to me, i will judge and avoid them as well.

[creekfiend]

"society gives men a pass for behaving in hurtful and selfish ways without consideration for the impact it has on the people around them, particularly those with less power" yeah

"so I'm going to deliberately emulate this behavior, and it will be feminist of me to do so" incorrect

[homunculus-argument]

I've been fed, walked and watered and I've slept enough and been out of the internet and I'm doing crafts.

Why am I still angry.

[homunculus-argument]

I walked right into this one like a blind horse into a revolving door.

[hieronymouscock]

You wake up one day and discover you've lost control over a random action or feeling!

Spin the wheel to find out what!

what if instead of having a fake name for internet personal-life purposes we could have a fake name for professional work-life purposes

[curlicuecal]

fantasy culture where you have a different name for every role in your life and a true name that is extremely secret

[curlicuecal]

[curlicuecal]

Honestly all the notes on this have been so good, here's a few of my favorites

[elgreytea]

What are you reading rn, why are you reading it, and what format are you reading it in (physical book, ereader, on your phone etc)

[commodorecliche]

y'all ever have that ONE WORD you just consistently cannot spell without assistance? like no matter how old you are, no matter how many grade school vocab quizzes you got tucked under your belt, there's always that one word will haunt you until the day you die.

[commodorecliche]

mine is beaurocracy and autocorrect had to swoop in like goddamn Spiderman to save me from it. reblog and put your Problem Word in the tags.

So crazy how you have the worst day of your life but then the next day the sun keeps shining and the air’s just a little cooler w the onset of fall and you realize that there’s nothing you can’t come back from because the only time it will ever be too late is when we’re dead and not ever before

[stuckinapril]

I vividly remember talking to one of my favorite professors about how I’m scared things will fall apart after graduation and how I’m so unused to change and her just going “if things fall apart then they do and u just pick up the pieces and start over again and it’s fine. Things falling apart is not this mammoth fear u should be worried about” and I remember these words every time I want to pursue or seize something bc literally the worst thing that can happen is it doesn’t work out ….. and then I just pick up the pieces and start all over again

los angeles is not known for having a good or even decent public transit system but in the past few years they’ve been expanding the train lines and have been pushing to get people to ride the trains more often, which includes making official la metro merch and, well:

this is a restock because they sold out in less than a week the first time
