CRUCIFIXION WAS ONLY THE BEGINNING

[herhonestlife]

I just saw your MLK day tweets and the rape-ability ones. I know you don't know anything about me, and I don't know anything about you aside from those tweets and what little I've tumblr-stalked you now, but you have given me a hope in the world that I haven't been able to feel for a long time. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing for me, but I know it is an amazing thing for the world--thank you, either way. Follow forever from me, as little as that does. :)

Thank you so much! Love and peace to you. Ijeoma

I saw your post of all the "feminist rant" tweets and I couldn't eve get through them before I went strait to twitter and followed you.

Aww thanks! <3

Part 2: When Trolls Come Knocking

When a dude let's you know that "nobody would want to rape you"

When trolls come knocking

Sometimes you just have to have a little fun with them

Woman: There’s still a long way to go to achieve equality. Dude: Not true! A woman was mean to me once. Woman: That’s not what — Dude: SO MEAN

Feminist New Year Resolutions

[yourpillowfort]

Sometimes, when people get depressed or anxious they have trouble eating. And then when they don’t get enough nutrients their depression or anxiety gets worse.

If this is you, I know that saying “just eat” isn’t enough. Food has lost it’s taste. You stare at it and feel nothing. You are...

[yourpillowfort]

If you don’t like them. If they make you sad, anxious, lonely - that is completely normal.

I know the world wants you to think that there is something wrong with you for not liking the holidays, or not feeling the joy they think you should, but they are wrong.

You have permission to take a...

A little goal for today

Today, if you can, I’d like you to say “no” to something you don’t want to do. You can say it in whatever way you need. You can make any excuses you want. But make a conscious choice to not do this thing.

Say no and don’t feel bad about it. You just gave yourself some real love and care and protection. You deserve it.

How to pet a cat like a pro

[yourpillowfort]

Hey, how are you doing?

Having a rough time? I really hope you’re not beating yourself up over things you “should” be doing right now. 

Remember, giving your self time to just rest and “be” when things are rough in your brain is important. Just as important as anything on your to-do list.

Look at the absolute minimum things you have to do to survive right now, do those things, pat yourself on the back, and then rest. Everything else will wait.

You are important.
