quirky alternatives to everyday insults (courtesy of william shakespeare):

villain, i have done your mother

thou lump of foul deformity

away, you three-inch fool!

you scullion, you rampallion, you fustilarian!

i am sick when i do look on thee

i scorn you, scurvy companion

methink’st thou art a general offence and every man should beat thee

more of your conversation would infect my brain

thou art a boil, a plague-sore

i do desire we may be better strangers

[metamorphesque]

― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

my desire to read more, my desire

learn latin and pursue my to do

writing career nothing

the raven (1845) - edgar allan poe

[aflyingcontradiction]

“Bring consent out of the bedroom. I think part of the reason we have trouble drawing the line “it’s not okay to force someone into sexual activity” is that in many ways, forcing people to do things is part of our culture in general. Cut that shit out of your life. If someone doesn’t want to go to a party, try a new food, get up and dance, make small talk at the lunchtable—that’s their right. Stop the “aww c’mon” and “just this once” and the games where you playfully force someone to play along. Accept that no means no—all the time.”

My favourite of Rodin’s works were the hand fragments. There were so many, some broken off and discarded from larger works like the Gates of Hell, others as studies for poses and casts. Hands are my favourite of all the body’s shapes, with their endless, endless holding

okay but waking up in the middle of the night to soft rain and knowing you’ve got hours to sleep, when you’re toasty warm and comfortable and sleep has made you forget all your worries and you go back to sleep feeling as content as ever.

well well well if it isn't the toppling amount of books in my room i've been trying to ignore because i bought them two years ago and haven't read them yet

[palestinianliberator]

 When discussing Palestine/Israel, “It’s an extremely complicated situation” is always code for one of two things:

“I’m a wolf in sheep’s clothing trying to obfuscate the reality that Israel is a settler-colonial entity engaged in daily terrorism and ethnic cleansing by confusing you and reducing your confidence to speak openly about this topic”

or

“I have no idea wtf I’m talking about”

There is absolutely no in-between
