We call ships ‘she.’ We call our war machines ‘women.’ We compare women to black widows and vipers. And you’re going to tell me it’s not ‘lady-like’ to scream, to take up space, to fight and demand respect and do whatever the hell I want. You’ve looked at nuclear bombs and been so in awe that you could only name them after women. Don’t try to down-play my power.

I want to frame this and put it next to my computer.

I’m not searching for my other half because I’m not a half.

Realizing this is one of the things that made the biggest difference in my life, not just in my relationships. (via panteghast)

Summer Book Haul

It recently came to my attention that my To Be Read pile had all but vanished, and it put me on edge. Although other life commitments mean I'm not as prolific a reader as I once was, I still always...

My most recent book haul has got me set for summer :)

“Your life is not an episode of Skins. Things will never look quite as good as they do in a faded, sun-drenched Polaroid; your days are not an editorial from Lula. Your life is not a Sofia Coppola movie, or a Chuck Palahniuk novel, or a Charles Bukowski poem. Grace Coddington isn’t your creative director. Bon Iver and Joy Division don’t play softly in the background at appropriate moments. Your hysterical teenage diary isn’t a work of art. Your room probably isn’t Selby material. Your life isn’t a Tumblr screencap. Every word that comes out of your mouth will not be beautiful and poignant, infinitely quotable. Your pain will not be pretty. Crying till you vomit is always shit. You cannot romanticize hurt. Or sadness. Or loneliness. You will have homework, and hangovers and bad hair days. The train being late won’t lead to any fateful encounters, it will make you late. Sometimes your work will suck. Sometimes you will suck. Far too often, everything will suck - and not in a Wes Anderson kind of way. And there is no divine consolation - only the knowledge that we will hopefully experience the full spectrum - and that sometimes, just sometimes, life will feel like a Coppola film.”

FR- foutre

This slang French verb has 2 meanings, and thus can replace 2 regular verbs:

faire (to do, make)

mettre (to put, put on)

Its past participle is foutu. Here are some examples:

Mais qu’est-ce que tu fous ?! - “But what the fuck are you doing?!”

T’as foutu quoi là ?! - “What the fuck have you done?!”

Ne fous pas tes affaires là ! - “Don’t put your stuff here!”

C’est bien foutu, ça. - “This is well made.”

The past participle foutu can be used as an adjective, which can mean “fucking” “fucked” or “broken (beyond repair)”:

Tu es foutu ! - “You’re fucked!”

La machine est foutue. - “The machine is broken beyond repair.”

C’est foutu. - “That’s fucked/impossible.”

Où sont ces foutues clés ?! - “Where are thos fucking keys?!”

Some idioms:

mal foutu = shitty (lit. “badly made”)

j’en ai rien à foutre =  j’en ai rien à faire = “I don’t give a fuck about it”

se foutre de = to laugh at, s.o., to not care about sth/s.o.

Tu te fous de ma gueule ?! = “Are you fucking kidding me?!”

Last but not least, the noun le foutre is slang for ‘semen’. A really ugly word tbh.
