“Things I want:

1. You”

Netflix: here’s a whole new 13 episode season of one day at a time! character development for everyone! amazing comedy! tear jerking spectacles!

me, binging the whole thing in less than a day and then extending my grubby little goblin paws in desparation: moar

[lifewithahk]

“Less than a day” = 7 hours. Yes. I watched the entire new season of One Day At A Time in 7 hours.

happy valentine’s day to everyone who’s in love with someone that doesn’t love them back

[lifewithahk]

“Just one look

In your direction

And I can’t stop

Thinking about

Kissing you”

Y’all ever just have such a great talk with a friend that it makes you emotional? Like a friend of mine were chatting and then we got deep and damn I love my friends so much and I’m definitely crying right now because they make me so happy

[lifewithahk]

You looked at me

With your big brown eyes

And said shakily

“I think I’m bi

But I still love him

And I’m sorry to say

I just can’t think

Of you that way”

You finally breathed

And I said “it’s okay

I understand

I could tell when I saw you

Hand in hand

You really love him

And it’s meant to be

With him you’ll feel

Finally free”

You thanked me again

And accepted my embrace

Looked with those eyes

Up at my face

And told me that you’d

Always be there

“No matter what

No matter when

Just give me a call

I’ll be there in ten

Thank you for being there

When no one else was

And helping me discover

That love does what it does”

You’re with him now

Happy as can be

And I’m still alone

Under the maple tree

But I have hope

That the day will come

And that we can finally see

What’s meant to become

“Don’t you ever feel that - that you just need to get away? From everything? That it’s all too much?”

Just remember. There is no such thing as a fake geek girl. There are only fake geek boys. Science fiction was invented by a woman.

[sourcedumal]

[shuttersmiley]

Specifically a teenage girl. You know, someone who would be a part of the demographic that some of these boys are violently rejecting.

Isaac Asimov.

[sim0nbaz-deactivated20170205]

yo mary shelley wrote frankenstein in 1818 and isaac asimov was born in 1920 so you kinda get my point

[fancyeliza-deactivated20200804]

If you want to push it back even further Margaret Cavendish, the duchess of Newcastle (1623-1673) wrote The Blazing World in 1666, about a young woman who discovers a Utopian world that can only be accessed via the North Pole - oft credited as one of the first scifi novels

Women have always been at the forefront of literature, the first novel (what we would consider a novel in modern terms) was written by a woman (Lady Muraskai’s the Tale of Genji in the early 1000s) take your snide “Isaac Asimov” reblogs and stick it

even in terms of male scifi authors, asimov was predated by Jules Verne, HG Wells, George Orwell, you could have even cited Poe or Jonathan Swift has a case but Asimov?

PbbBFFTTBBBTBTTBBTBTTT so desperate to discredit the idea of Mary Shelly as the mother of modern science fiction you didn’t even do a frickin google search For Shame

[cryptovalid]

And if you want to go back even further, the first named, identified author in history was Enheduanna of Akkad, a Sumerian high priestess.

[gunthatshootsennui]

Kinda funny, considering this Isaac Asimov quote on the subject:

Mary Shelley was the first to make use of a new finding of science which she advanced further to a logical extreme, and it is that which makes Frankenstein the first true science fiction story.

[deathcomes4u]

Even Isaac Asimov ain’t having none of your shit, not even posthumously.

[velocigrey-deactivated20160825]

You know what else was invented by women? Masked vigilantes, the precursor to the modern superhero. Baroness Emma Orczy wrote The Scarlet Pimpernel in 1905. The character would later inspire better known masked vigilantes such as Zorro and Batman.

[geekinlibrariansclothing]

Got that?

[bettieleetwo]

Stick that in your international pipe and smoke it

[la-knight]

I have literally been telling people this for over a year.

[athenadark]

the first extended prose piece - ie a novel, was not, as many male scholars will shout, Don Quixote (1605) but The Tale of Genji (1008) written by a woman

[thepsychicclam]

The first autobiography ever written in English is also attributed to a woman, The Book of Margery Kempe (1430s).

[ladynorbert]

The day may come when I find this post and do not reblog it, but it is not this day.

[fragments-of-sappho]

Women invented language while men were hunting. I mean…

“Once again,

Everything has changed.

And once again,

I have no idea what to do or think.”

[hanahaki-heartache]

when i’m with you

i feel like i can do anything. i’m not afraid of every little thing.

and then you go home

and every single one of those fears comes crawling back

[uhnsaids]

“the only place i want to be is in your arms.”

— they feel like home.

[dateagirl-suggestions]

I want to feel your smile against my lips

[lifewithahk]

“And yet you still have no idea

How in love with you I am”

[midwestofcalifornia]

Some of you have never been in love with your best friend and it shows

[snailfrick]

[lifewithahk]

“I don’t know what to think

Other than that I’m crazy in love with you”

Just Friends

Just an awkward acquaintance.

That’s how it started.

We were friends of friends.

We sort of knew each other.

Then the inside jokes came,

And the awkwardness melted.

We were friends now.

We laughed and joked.

We spent time together.

We made memories.

We grew closer.

Close friends.

That’s what we were.

Track meets and movie nights

And afternoon pizza parties

With both of us sucking at Smash

And listening to bad music in the pool.

Those were the good times.

There were bad times, too.

Anxiety attacks and bad physics tests

And talking one another through sad days.

Now we were best friends.

We were never apart.

Every possible moment we spent together,

Talking and joking and laughing and crying.

And suddenly, I fell.

One day, I fell completely and totally

Head over heels for you.

I don’t know how or why,

But suddenly you became

All I could ever want or need.

And you have no idea.

Because we’re just friends.
