she's on a journey;

Melody. Home is where my heart lies. I like bacteria. I like coffee. But not bacteria in coffee. In the midst of chasing my dreams. Doing all to the glory of God.

“I would eat his heart in the marketplace” is legit the most savage line I have ever heard, I’d like to personally thank Shakespeare for putting into words that feeling of rage and protectiveness women get when some fuckboy hurts another woman

[aeleolus]

Okay first off, I will always reblog this post, but secondly, I went to Shakespeare in the Park tonight to see this and all the women cheered *so loudly* when Beatrice said this line, and the guy in front of me looked around all shocked and a little scared and said “… oh wow” and it was ICONIQUE

[punkrorschach]

The funniest part of this line is that it was considered hugely improper to eat ANYTHING in the marketplace so she’s not only saying she’d fuck him up but that she’d do it in a way that goes against social niceties.

Kinda like “I’ll fight you in church” or smth.

Men like to believe theyd be great in apocalypse scenarios but they dont even know how to sew

[madgastronomer]

Some male friends of mine were once talking about how useful they’d be in an apocalypse, and I pointed out that as a weaver and sewer and maker of stuff, I’d be pretty damn useful and they tried to tell me they could just loot clothes from WalMart and they’d be fine. As if WalMart has endless supplies without weekly deliveries.

[alls-well-that-ends-weird]

So just last night a friend of mine was talking about who he’d round up in the event of a zombie apocalypse and how I’m his go-to farmer on account of I know how to keep an entire homestead up and running and we’re talking about what kind of resources I’d need to keep a colony of about 50-ish people alive and i bring up what all goes into processing wool for clothing and such and he just kind of stops me like ‘wait, wait, we don’t need to do all of that because we can scavenge for clothes we don’t need to be able to make them’ and i’m just like, ‘dude, that works in the short-term maybe but if this community is going to be sustainable you’ve gotta have people whose job it is to make clothes and blankets and shit’

also cloth rots pretty quickly when left exposed to the elements and after the first few years or so anything we manage to scavenge isn’t going to be wearable anymore and anywho we’ve got to teach the kids everything or they’re not gonna know what to do some decades down the line when everything’s too rusted or rotted out to be of any practical use anymore, etc etc, and he’s reckoning that things like woodworking and smithing and ranching are more important than say, cleaning or cooking or dairying and meanwhile i’m just smh may all the gods have mercy on this poor fool

He also balked when i brought up how to run a laundry and what all was needed to make everyday shit like soap and toothpaste - like dude, you think this is going to be all about hunting and scavenging and being neato manly-man drifters like in the walking dead let me teach you a thing about keeping a village alive and healthy for more than a week man most of it is shit you keep thinking is non-essential on account of it being “women’s work” or “simple chores” that’re actually pretty labor-intensive and take time, training, knowledge, and practice to do successfully, let alone well, and are 100% absolutely necessary work in order for you to have any reasonably good quality of life after the world ends

26! 🎉 Life is good. Been a lot more emotionally, mentally and financially stable this year. Better things are coming! ✨ (Why my cake only shows 21 I have no idea.) #steptember #26sep #birthday https://www.instagram.com/p/BoLquDbn3iLdkS-V6ZDowUVhHFlwmCc2ox4mz80/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jqakwi13hqhv

why limit yourself between choosing between a pretty feminine aesthetic or a dark one? if persephone can be the goddess of spring & queen of the underworld at the same time so can you

Controversial opinion, but ur allowed to like things that suck

Like, sometimes there are just shows or books that are so goddamn awful for any number of reasons… But ya still like ‘em somehow, and that’s fine

It’s not required to write a 20+ page essay defending why you enjoy something shitty, you can just… Enjoy shitty things

Not all content is made equally and you’re allowed to like things that are far from perfect

Like, just, “This show sucks, but I like it anyway” is a totally valid response

There is beer and there is Guinness. 🍺 Guinness Storehouse yesterday! 😍 The highlight was definitely learning how to pour the perfect pint and tasting it whoop. Idk why but it's so smooth here, like there's no beer bite at all??? Also we got engraved Guinness glasses and certificates so yay taking a piece of this great place home with us. 💁🏻‍♀️ #melscapades2k18 #TeamJoDy #joshinstawher #drinkdrankdrunk #StorehouseStory (at Guinness Storehouse)

Had the amazing chance to attend the Amgen Biotech Experience Annual Meeting 2018 in Dublin! It's been a tiring but fulfilling 3 days and I'm so so glad and grateful to meet everyone and form connections. 🙆🏻‍♀️ Feels awesome to be part of a community and especially one full of amazing educators, scientists, people whose life mission is to inspire the next generation. Heading into the leisure part of my trip now but I will never be the same. Some day I will see you guys again. 💕 Also thank you Science Centre for sending me overseas whoop whoop first work trip. 🎉 #ABEDublin2018 #BiotechExperience #werk #ilovemyjob #melscapades2k18 (at Dublin, Ireland)

May your glass be ever full; may the roof over your head be always strong; and may you be in heaven half an hour before the devil knows you're dead. 🍻 Irish whiskey museum today. 🤣 We had originally planned to visit elsewhere but things cropped up and we missed the tour timings for the day. ☹️ (Iz k we're going back in the next few days.) In any case we learnt about the history of Irish whiskey and tasted some and blended our own to take home! Ayyy. 😬 #melscapades2k18 #TeamJoDy #joshinstawher #drinkdrankdrunk (at Irish Whiskey Museum)

Happy 5 x 0.5 years to us. ❤️ Life is better and more brilliant with you around. Thank you for being my greatest support. Can't wait to conquer our future together. 😚 #Flour #TeamJoDy #wlaodamnPDA #joshinstawher #semiversary

Backstage is where the magic happens. ✨ The Backstage Tour of Sydney Opera House was spectacular, amazing, awe-inducing, all of the good things. 😍 So delighted to have had an awesome and entertaining guide, and especially to share this experience with @marilynchewky. Definitely well worth the money spent. 💸 📷: Monumental Steps | Opera Theatre Orchestra Pit | Opera Theatre Stage #Melscapades2k18 #sydneyoperahouse #backstagetour (at Sydney Opera House)

[letstakeanescapade]

Sometimes I am very brave. 💪 While we were on the stage of the Opera Theatre during the Backstage Tour, our guide asked if anyone wanted to test the acoustics. I volunteered. And this is the result. Am super proud of myself even though I sound super shaky and nervous and wlao what is that pitching but I stepped out of my comfort zone and that's what's important. 👍 So yes this is one experience that I can call my own and heck yes I've sung on the Sydney Opera House Stage whoohoo! #milestones #sydneyoperahouse #backstagetour #cmajorssg #Melscapades2k18 (at Sydney Opera House)

2017. 🥂 So my 2016 end-of-year post said to slay 2017 and that's exactly what I did. 💪✌️🎉 I've had a great, great year by all counts. Okay this is an extremely long post. It's for me to remember in future years so ya. #customaryEOYpost • 🔬: Started to pull my weight a lot more this year. I know I'm good at my job and I know I strive to constantly improve. I've adapted reasonably well to the big changes, albeit with complaining ha. But all in all, work's been good and I like that I've (finally) found my place. ☺️ #werk #ilovemyjob • 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧: Family is always a constant and I'm grateful that I'll always have you to come back to. Thank you for listening this year. ❤️ #chewychews • ❤️: The boy is wonderfully amazing there is so much to say and yet nothing to say and yes thank you for constantly putting in effort into us. We have grown so much this year and I love you more than ever. 😚 #TeamJody #wlaodamnPDA #joshinstawher • 🎲🎮🐍🌱🕷🦎: Immensely contented with my social life this year. I've found my people at work and I'm so delighted to have them slogging with me every day. 😬 You guys are such a blessing to me. 💕 I've also found my hobby and my game and I couldn't be happier fighting monsters and saving the world weekly with the guys. 🎲 #dnd • 🎤: Started seriously performing again this year. I love being on stage and I love singing a cappella even though I'm not the best at it ha. Handling shit for C Majors has also been frustrating but satisfying when I have all my ducks in a row. I want to do this for as long as possible pls. 🤗 #cmajorssg • 🏃🏻‍♀️: O yeah this was my new year's resolution. #GetMelFit2k17 ended some time in August because I got lazy but I'm glad I made it that far. It's a win in my book! 👍 • Ok 2018 here I come lez go. 💪
