“You don’t know anyone at the party, so you don’t want to go. You don’t like cottage cheese, so you haven’t eaten it in years. This is your choice, of course, but don’t kid yourself: it’s also the flinch. Your personality is not set in stone. You may think a morning coffee is the most enjoyable thing in the world, but it’s really just a habit. Thirty days without it, and you would be fine. You think you have a soul mate, but in fact you could have had any number of spouses. You would have evolved differently, but been just as happy. You can change what you want about yourself at any time. You see yourself as someone who can’t write or play an instrument, who gives in to temptation or makes bad decisions, but that’s really not you. It’s not ingrained. It’s not your personality. Your personality is something else, something deeper than just preferences, and these details on the surface, you can change anytime you like. If it is useful to do so, you must abandon your identity and start again. Sometimes, it’s the only way.”

“I miss you so much it feels gross. It feels wet. It feels nauseating. I want to rip out my heart and shake it like a magic eight ball.“Is this okay, is this okay, is this okay or does it make me weak?””

she’s a trump supporter :/

[thesnobbyartsyblog]

You gotta check the facts before you spread misinformation. Many people read headlines from satire news websites and just go with it. 

[mattydontstart]

Fran is a survivor of sexual assault and a huge supporter of LGBTQIA+ rights. Do you REALLY think she’d support that racist rapist?!

[sodomymcscurvylegs]

She specifically became involved in LGBTQ+ advocacy when her then ex husband came out to her some years after their divorce, and she even made a show with him 2011 trying to help him find love. Fran Drescher is an angel!

[thriftorama]

Fran is honestly such a good and kind person and she’s a fighter……don’t defame her!

She’s also……..a Jewish woman and Donald Trump was elected by white nationalists…………….like this is not funny…….

[left-reminders]

She’s a Trump supporter my ass

this post started with the best fashion looks of the 90s and ended in a call for a socialist revolution I love it

[luthienne]

But I am in a desperate state of revolt, revolt, revolt.

has anyone else noticed there’s a very specific way women interrupt each other in conversation that’s quite distinct from the way men interrupt women in conversation? like, women seem to interject a lot more– not as a silencing tactic, but to show their enthusiasm or agreement, cause they perceive a conversation as kind of collaborative, organic exercise. but i feel like men get really annoyed if you excitedly interject when they’re saying something (most specifically in a debate/discussion context) because they perceive conversation as something combative or competitive and see an interjection as a threat or a challenge. i’ve also noticed men dismiss women’s way of talking as being sort of incomprehensible and nonsensical because of this habit we have of seeming to butt in or finish each others sentences excitably. 

[valsdas]

this is exactly what research on gender and language in interaction confirms: women’s style tends to be more collaborative, the conversation being the goal, while men’s is competitive - the goal being establishing themselves as the ‘strongest’ or most dominant = powerful #dragged

[anarchapella]

Omg dudes I’ve dated always complain about how I interrupt all the time

[oakttree-deactivated20221126]

also: 

we never had a chance lol

[anarchapella]

Omg so true

[sinbadism]
