This is amazing.

You ever been super ok, like excited and happy about something the night before, and wake up in the morning only to find yourself completely freaking out and an anxious mess about the exact same thing you were happy about earlier? And you dont know why... it's like a switch was flipped and everything that made you happy about it is suddenly killing you in horrifying ways? And now the very last thing you want is for the thing the night before to be an actual thing? You just want it to be a dream? Yeah.

Judge Wolf is making headlines again for all the right reasons (x)

Isn’t this the same woman who refused to prosecute someone because the jail guards had refused to give her a full set of clothes?

It sure is!

If he didnt before, this inmate now has all the incentive he needs to be the father that baby deserves. Let him meet the person that might inspire him to change his ways and become a role model.

What a gorgeous woman…

A wonderful piece about fandom history, friendships, and legacies.

Dee called AO3 a “candy store,” and said the fan art she has seen, in particular, has been overwhelming. “I cannot get over the art,” she said. “We would have jumped at this. I would’ve given my right tit for all this art when I was in my twenties. Because you couldn’t reproduce it, you couldn’t send it out, but [now] there’s this fabulous art coming out every single day.”

Yes. Yes. Yes. This is how it happened. Excellent article.

Plausible deniability is all Jeff Flake and Lisa Murkowski want

Remember: they didn’t support a delay because they believe Dr. Ford. They didn’t support it because they distrusted Brett Kavanaugh. They didn’t support a delay because they’re seriously considering voting against Kavanaugh.

They just want to go back to their friends, and in Murkowski’s case their voters, and say they had credible reasons to vote for Kavanaugh, and not enough reasons not to. They’re looking for an excuse to do what they already want to do anyway.

politicalprof

Now that Senators Flake and Collins are apparently “satisfied” with the FBI report on Kavanaugh, and so are likely to vote for him, let’s revisit my post of a week ago. Sometimes I hate being right.

Not just making it illegal, but making being gay punishable with death.

This is one of the many reasons why I walk by every single red bucket in the run-up to Christmas. They’re not getting my money, I don’t care how nice the people ringing bells are.

Ever since the time they threatened to close all their soup kitchens in NYC if a law that did something as simple as allow companies to extend spousal benefits to their employee’s same-sex domestic partners I have refused to buy from them or donate to them.

It’s that time of year again! In case people don’t know… the Salvation Army is shitty peoples.

Also, the married women are not paid (and therefore can’t qualify for assistance if they should ever divorce, etc). And worth “of course” less than a man.

“ In the Army’s case, the agreement for compensation is that the officer allowance be paid jointly to the husband—the check is written in his name. Officially, the wife is a “worker without expectation of remuneration,” and her husband receives 40 percent more of an allowance as a married man than he would as a single man. “

And speaking of Sophia Tolstoy, her diaries are just so depressing.

“I am to gratify his pleasure and nurse his child, I am a piece of household furniture, I am a woman. I try to suppress all human feelings. When the machine is working properly it heats the milk, knits a blanket, makes little requests and bustles about trying not to think […].“

She wrote this when she was 19, one year into her marriage to Leo and as she was pregnant with the first of his 13 children.

A few years later, when she was 25 or so:

“I am so often alone with my thoughts that the need to write in my diary comes quite naturally … Now I am well again and not pregnant—it terrifies me how often I have been in that condition. He said that for him being young meant “I can achieve anything”. For me […] reason tells me that there is nothing I either want or can do beyond nursing, eating, drinking, sleeping, and loving and caring for my husband and babies, all of which I know is happiness of a kind, but why do I feel so woeful all the time, and weep as I did yesterday? I am writing this now with the pleasantly exciting sense that nobody will ever read it, so I can be quite frank with myself […].“

During her 12th pregnancy she wrote about taking scalding baths and jumping from high pieces of furniture to try and miscarry. And at one point while reading her husband’s diary (which he told her to read) she found the sentence “There is no such thing as love, only the physical need for intercourse and the practical need for a life companion.” In her own diary she wrote “They ebb and flow like waves, these times when I realise how lonely I am and want only to cry…”

A few years before her husband’s death, she published a cycle of prose poems titled “Groans”, under the pseudonym “A Tired Woman”.

the most depressing quote from her diaries:

“I have served a genius for almost forty years. Hundreds of times I have felt my intellectual energy stir within me and all sorts of desires - a longing for education, a love of music and the arts… And time and again I have crushed and smothered these longings… Everyone asks, “But why should a worthless woman like you need an intellectual or artistic life?” To this question I can only reply: “I don’t know, but eternally suppressing it to serve a genius is a great misfortune.”

Not to mention that making anyone rewrite War and Peace by hand seven bloody times is probably the kind of crime the Geneva Convention was created to eradicate.

It bothers the shit out of me when white girls on Instagram use Gandhi quotes incessantly without knowing literally anything about Indian independence and Partition or the history and religion of India besides for yoga and “self-care”. It bothers me even more when they claim to be inspired by Gandhi because while they don’t know his cause at all, they also don’t know that he forced young girls to sleep naked beside him and was personally deeply misogynistic and was incredibly racist towards Africans.

Yes, there are many reasons to admire Gandhi. However, it is utterly inappropriate to ignore his glaring faults and to not celebrate India beyond a shallow interpretation of some practices. Please read about Gandhi’s life if you like his quotes; it’s so much more interesting and fulfilling than simply copy-and-pasting a generic quote of his about peace. This post is in no way intended to discourage you from learning about him; it is to educate you on why you maybe shouldn’t use that quote the next time you post a picture of yourself with a leaf, especially when you try to preach a message of acceptance, feminism, and equality on your account. I’m not dissuading you from posting, just try to come from a place of knowledge and wisdom.

THINGS WHICH MAKE WRITERS ANXIOUS:

not writing

people reading their stories

Good news of the day: someone sprayed the sentence ‘There’s nowhere for me to be’ on the wall of an Italian high school. Instead of erasing it or calling the cops, the headteacher chose to see it as a cry for help, and he encouraged the students to reach out to the unknown writer.

“I think the right thing to do is to take this seriously. A school needs to be a home to its students, and that’s why we need to think these words through, and to find an answer - together. Asking for meaning is a path we all know intimately well.”

The same day, dozens of messages had appeared next to the original writing - song lyrics, hearts, offers to talk, and mostly reassurances: ‘You are not alone’.
