I’m sorry but Logan DOES NOT cheat on Rory. I’m going through my Gilmore Girls rewatch and I’m at the infamous Logan/Rory  “we were broken up/ we were on a break” part. It’s always bothered me that, later on, when she finds out he slept with other girls during this time, she tells everyone he cheated on her. And not only that but this fandom likes to use this “cheating” as a big strike against Logan. You can’t escape the “Logan is a cheater” hate. It’s in almost every GG article online, on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and in the comments of most Logan-centric Youtube videos. I’ve had enough! Let’s set the record straight. Time to lay out all the facts. I’ve watched this show so many times but this time I had to stop and do the actual math. They have their big fight 2 weeks after her birthday. When Jess leaves he wishes her Happy Birthday and says “wasn’t that a couple weeks ago?” “Let Me Hear Your Balalaikas Ring Out” actually airs 2 weeks after “Twenty One is the Loneliest Number”, so it’s safe to assume the fight literally happens 2 weeks after her birthday. Rory’s birthday, according to Google, is Oct 8th, which means the fight happens about Oct 22nd. So they have this huge blowout fight, yelling at each other in a public place, Rory refuses to leave with him and Logan says something like “do whatever you want” before he leaves. The next time we hear anything about the situation is in the Thanksgiving episode. We find out from Rory, that Logan will not be coming to see Lane’s band perform because they are not speaking. She says “I think we just needed a little break. At least I did. It’s more like a hiatus.” Thanksgiving in 2005 fell on Nov 24th. So she’s saying she can have a massive fight with her boyfriend and not speak to him for a MONTH because she” feels” like she needed a break and somehow expects that he understands their relationship is just on “hiatus”. HOW?! It’s beyond naive of her to think he should just understand her reasoning to why she hasn’t spoken to him. Plus sometime between these two episodes she moved without telling him. His friends helped her move, so he obviously finds out that she moved and she didn’t tell him about it. I’m sorry, but any sane person would also assume that the fight was a break up after the other person moves and then ghosts them for a month! If I had a screaming match with my boyfriend in a public place and he moved and I didn’t hear from him for a month I would NOT assume we were just on hiatus. The reasonable assumption at that point is that the fight was more than a fight. It was a break up. This is what Logan assumed after the fight and his suspicions were only further confirmed when he didn’t hear anything from her afterwards. You don’t need to say the words “we’re over” to be broken up. You can definitely break up without having a proper conversation about it. Look at what happened with Rory and Jess. They didn’t “break up”, he just left without telling her… it was still a break up. How about Lane and Zack when he gets all jealous and screws up their big break. They don’t actually “break up” but you understand what that moment is. You DO however need to have a conversation to actually be “on a break” or for your relationship to be on “hiatus”. Both parties need to know you are on a break for you to actually be on a break. Just because you “think it” doesn’t mean it’s true. For the same reason, you also couldn’t just decide your relationship is an open relationship, without having that conversation with the other person. So just because Rory “feels” like she needs a break doesn’t mean Logan is wrong to believe that fight was a break up . THEN during Thanksgiving dinner Rory gets a call from Honor and discovers that Logan believes they are broken up.  She is surprised but doesn’t call him to fix the issue. She doesn’t call him and say “Hey, Honor just informed me we are broken up. I didn’t think we were … do you really want to be broken up?” She just leaves it as it is and accepts that they are broken up. Which means they are officially broken up at Thanksgiving. She knows it. They are over and she accepts it. During “Bridesmaids Revisited” we find out that he sleeps with two of the bridesmaids during the holidays. One at Thanksgiving and and one at Christmas. Both after Rory has already accepted they are broken up. Please tell me, HOW IS THAT CHEATING?! Christmas is another month after she knew they were over! With the one woman it had been a full month since he had heard anything from her, with the other it had been two months since they spoke! If I were Logan I would also assume my relationship was over. And I’d like to point out that waiting a month before you sleep with someone else is not immediately sleeping around. After this she tells everyone he cheated on her. Paris, her mom, Jess. And not just that he cheated on her, but that he cheated on her A LOT. With a whole bridal party! Logan. did. not. cheat. on. Rory. She may feel hurt and betrayed that he was trying to move on with his life during their time apart. Her anger is valid when he lets her walk into a room of his one-night stands without warning her. But he did not cheat on her and it’s was wrong of her to tell everyone he did. And it is wrong of this fandom to keep claiming that Logan’s cheating as a reason that he is bad for Rory.

Facebook PSA

Hey all, a little Social Media PSA if you have the Facebook App on your phone. 

With the last update, Facebook began tracking something called ‘off-Facebook Activity’ which keeps up with all apps and browsing you do off of Facebook and collects that information with the purpose of targeting ads… which means they’re selling it to ad agencies. This includes access to any banking apps on your phone and your spending habits. 

 Not only is this a major breech of privacy that Facebook didn’t have to tell us about when they updated the app, it’s, of course, automatically turned on. 

To turn it off, go into your Facebook app, pull up the menu from the main screen [the button with the three horizontal lines] scroll down to security and privacy, find ‘Off-Facebook Activity’ and hit the button that lets you manage your history to see all the apps it’s been collecting from. From there, you can clear the information it’s already collected, and there will be a button regarding ‘Future activity’ where you can turn the ‘feature’ off, at which point Facebook with give you an ‘ARE YOU SURE YOU DON’T WANT US COLLECTING YOUR INFORMATION TO SELL YOU THINGS???’ screen. Yes, yes you are sure. Because this is disgusting.

Facebook made this super hard to find, so I’ve written up instructions for how I got through it (on my app - I don’t know if there are other versions where it’s different):

From Facebook, go to the Menu by clicking on the three horizontal lines on the top right of the screen.

Scroll down to the bottom and select the Settings & Privacy drop-down menu.

Then select Settings (the first option under the drop-down).

This will take you to a screen showing multiple headers with lists of links under them

Scroll down to Your Facebook Information and select Off-Facebook Activity.

The next page has a short explanation of Off-Facebook Activity. Click Manage Your Off-Facebook Activity after the What You Can Do header.

This will take you to a screen with an option to Clear History (which I recommend). To actually turn off this feature, you will have to click the three dots at the top right of the screen and select the Manage Future Activity option that pops up.

This will take you to a page explaining in more detail what they’re doing. Select the Manage Future Activity at the bottom of the page.

THEN you can finally select the toggle to turn off Future Off-Facebook Activity. 

If it’s glowing blue with the circle on the right side, it’s active, and if it’s gray with the circle on the left side, it’s off.

In life, we grow up and we encounter the nuanced complexities of trying to figure out who to be, how to act, or how to be happy. Like invisible smoke in the room, we wonder what kind of anxiety pushes you forward and what kind ruins your ability to find joy in your life. We constantly question our choices, our surroundings, and we beat ourselves up for our mistakes. All the while, we crave romance. We long for those rare, enchanting moments when things just fall into place. Above all else, we really, really want our lives to be filled with love.

things you never hear about the signs

Aries: They doubt themselves. They need reassurance and validation from people they love, and if you give them this, they’ll be your loudest, strongest, most enthusiastic cheerleaders. They’ll always stand up and fight for you (even if they know you’re in the wrong)… if you do the same for them. Don’t take this for granted.

Taurus: They will put themselves first. Always. It’s because they feel like no one else does, though; they always get taken for granted and ignored and they get so sick of it. They will break your heart with their selfishness, but they do love you. Believe them when they say it.

Gemini: They’re lonely. Even surrounded by people, a Gemini can be so, so, lonely, because they long for emotional closeness and a deep mental connection. They lose interest in people so quickly because this connection isn’t there with most people.

Cancer: They’re mean and selfish. They guilt trip and play the blame game, because they don’t want to face the truth about themselves. They act tough, talk shit, hang out with people they don’t really care about, and they try to pretend that this is who they are. It’s not. They’re trying to protect themselves from the harsh, judgmental world by acting like they hate the best parts of it.

Leo: They blame themselves for everything. A Leo may act like a diva, throw a temper tantrum and accuse you of ruining their life, but inside, their heart is breaking because they failed themselves. Not only that, but they failed you, too. And they hate themselves for that. They have trouble forgiving others, but they have even more trouble forgiving themselves.

Virgo: They are not cold. They are actually sensitive and easily hurt, and they protect themselves by building a robotic, analytical exterior. They have such high standards for the people in their life because they’re scared of getting hurt. Deep down, a Virgo just wants to throw away all their worries and inhibitions and be free. 

Libra: They’re incredibly loyal. Once a Libra decides they like you, they may stray, lose contact, hang out with other people, but they will never completely forget you. At some point, they will always come back to you. They value friendship and love more than anything; this is both their best quality and their biggest weakness. They give people so many chances, and as a result they are used and hurt so many times, because they never lose faith or become bitter.

Scorpio: They need someone to tell their thoughts to. Scorpios are secretive and mysterious creatures, but they can’t stand having no one who really knows them. A Scorpio is selective about who they trust, but if they do trust you, you will be surprised about how open they are. 

Sagittarius: They don’t bounce back so easily. Sagittarians are not always happy-go-lucky and content. A Sagittarius is prone to feelings of inadequacy and anxiety, but they do their best to hide this from people. They are incredibly strong, but they still fight their personal battles like everyone else and can be very sensitive. They don’t need to be coddled or helped through difficult times, they just need you to stand by them while they fight their demons.

Capricorn: They care the most, but have the worst time trying to show it. Their natural tendency is to hide their feelings and retreat from those they care for. They confuse people with their hot-and-cold behavior. They frustrate themselves, because they want to throw themselves into everything they do, but they can’t work up the energy or the courage to do so.

Aquarius: They like people as a whole more than they like people individually. They have tremendous respect and faith in humanity, but can’t bring themselves to have the same love for even those closest to them. They are detached, often putting more of themselves into clubs and projects than into their friends and family. They are concerned with “the greater good”, and they don’t let individuals get in their way.

Pisces: They will not let you treat them badly. They won’t confront you or try to talk to you about your behavior. They won’t try to convince you that they are right and you are wrong. They’ll just slowly slip out of your life, leaving you wondering if you ever meant anything to them at all. Don’t underestimate the power of a Pisces to break your heart without saying a word.
