You're just as sane as I am.

Hello, my name's Chantelle :D I'm a 23-year-old liberal, vegetarian, tree-hugging, lesbian, pro-choice, hippie freak ;) I'm currently working on my BA with a theater major and music minor. I'd love to be in musicals, either in the pit or on the stage.

This is my favorite thing and my new response to straight men when they try to talk shit to me because I’m a lesbian lol

[meantfortheshore]

[moremetalthanyourmom]

Okay but after seeing this I started doing it too and it’s amazing how many men I’ve run into bc they expected me to move

[youcangofindatree-deactivated20]

Gotta try it

[clevermanka]

I work (and walk) on a college campus. I’ve lost count of how many men I’ve smacked shoulders with.

[emmagrant01]

Recently, I was standing outside my son’s classroom waiting to talk to his teacher. I stood on one side of the hallway, not even close to the center. At some point, a man came walking along. I was standing right in his path, but the hallway was empty, so I logically expected him to swerve around me. Instead he kept walking right toward me, got to me, and stopped, as if waiting for me to get out of his way. I didn’t; I just smiled politely at him. He finally walked around me, clearly annoyed that I hadn’t leapt out of his manly path.

Now I’m wishing I’d leapt aside, taken off my jacket and laid it on the floor before him, then bowed deeply and said, “My Liege!”

[mercurialkitty]

I also work at a college campus. I smack shoulders sometimes, but I find that if I stare straight ahead and follow the advice below, people get the heck out of the way.

[songbirde108]

Honestly this post changed how I carry myself when walking alone in public, or in a situation where I’m the one leading. People definitely move for the murder gaze.

[onethingconstant]

Confirmed. I once had to rush back inside a convention hall as the con was closing in order to a retrieve a sick friend’s medication, and I didn’t understand why people in the crowd were jumping out of my way (literally—one guy vaulted a table) until I realized I was dressed as the Winter Soldier and doing the Murder Walk because that’s just how I walk in those boots. I got the meds, got out, and made a mental note.

I repeated the experiment later, wearing the boots but otherwise my usual clothing and mimicking the expression I thought I’d had at that moment. People parted like I was Charlton Heston.

I now wear that style of boots whenever possible. I recently had a man do a double-take as I walked by and ask me, politely, where I had served because I “looked like a soldier.” I’m not current or former military. I was wearing a flowy purple peasant top and looked as un-soldierlike as possible.

Moral of the story: wear comfortable shoes, square your shoulders, and walk like you’ve been sent to murder Captain America.

Opinion of the night:

Cops should face DOUBLE the legal punishment for breaking literally ANY law. Be it a misdemeanor or a felony.

Why? Simple, 1: They are the ones who are most familiar with the law. 2: They are the ones most familiar with WHY breaking said law is wrong. 3, and this one’s key: THEY’RE THE ONES UNDER AN OATH TO UPHOLD THE VERY LAWS THEY BROKE

$50 fine? For a cop, $100. 6 months jail time? For cops, a year. So on so forth

[phallicthimble]

Given the disparity on rates of conviction between civilians and cops for equivalent transgressions, the difference should be way more than double until such point as cops are actually convicted at a similar rate as the public for the same crimes.

Even though it’s still a discrepancy in favor of law enforcement, I think we should start at a 10:1 ratio. $100 fine becomes $1000, minimum sentence 1 year? Now it’s 10.

HR: if they work 40 hours a week u have to give them benefits

Big company: hmm okay. They shall work 39

[tsoki]

HR: if they work 8 hours u have to give them a half hour lunch and intermittent breaks 

company: 7 hours and 50 minutes, it is 

[airframeextender]

the law: if theyre employees you have to pay for benefits

company: lets staff through a temp service and wait so long to hire them in they quit out of frustration

[lolotehe]

the law: You must pay them this and no less.

company: I shall pay them that and no more.

[officialweatherwax]

The law: you have to pay your employees

Company: then we’ll replace them all with interns

[black-geek-supremacy]

The law: you gotta increase wages

Company: we’ll cut hours

[paramud]

the law: you have to give raises

company: mayhaps they would enjoy an extra five cents

[katsuricata-deactivated20181208]

If someone is asexual, they are not heterosexual.

If someone is aromantic, they are not heteroromantic.

If someone is agender, they are not cisgender.

If the last one isn’t controversial, why are the first two?

‪Yay, it’s Pride Month today! Here’s a little story from my coming out. Here’s to being proud and a little more seen. 🏳️‍🌈 https://www.everythingisgoingtobeokcomic.com/the-odd-girl-out/‬

this image is probably the most accurate visual representation of the United States education system

[quakerjoe]

[sandersstudies]

If you and your partner practice frequent, non-sexual consent, your relationship will be healthier and easier.

“Are you comfortable with me ranting about my day for a few minutes?”

“Oh, this is your poetry? Would it be okay if I read it?”

“Do you mind if I use your phone for a few minutes?”

“Wow, your meal looks awesome. Could I try some?”

It will save a lot of grief, especially in a developing relationship. Eventually, with consistent “yes’s” and “no’s” you can figure out more permanent boundaries and guidelines.

“I need to ask before ranting about my day or taking their food, but my partner is okay with me using their phone whenever. However, my partner does not like me reading their poetry unless they offer first.”

[sandersstudies]

And this goes for friendships too! Even just stuff like “do you mind if I leave this door open?” 

[doomhamster]

…I never fully realized it before but this is a big part of why my relationship with my husband is so conflict-free. Both because him doing this all the time made it easy to trust him, back when we were a new item, and because it helped ME break out of the toxic idea that you should never ask about a partner’s preferences because if you Really Loved Them you should be able to intuit what they want, all the time, about anything. 

[tygermama]

my one son is autistic so I ask ‘hug or no hug?’ I always knock and wait to be acknowledged before opening my sons’ bedroom doors (not just because I respect their privacy but because they’re teenagers and I don’t want to walk in on any personal activities) I don’t go into their rooms without asking I don’t touch their phones without asking (I’ll pick one up to take to them if I find it in another room but I won’t go through it) yesterday, my younger son walked into my room, stopped, said sorry and walked out to the hall and knocked on my door ‘because if I have to knock on his door, he has to knock on mine’ because their trust is important and I want them to know I respect their privacy

[littlebabydear]

Anyone else see the sad face tho

[beccafromaphistory]

Haha you’re right! I should have made a joke about that

[hollowboobtheory]

what “dumbass lesbian” means: i grew up thinking that not only was any woman experiencing any sort of sexual feeling was sinful, but that my specific attraction made me a monster. i changed in the corner of the locker room refusing eye contact with everybody around me. i wouldn’t touch another girl at all, even in a platonic sense, and could barely even look at them. so yeah now as an adult i struggle to pick up flirting signals, even when they seem obvious to everybody else, cause i’ve been so thoroughly taught that i’m disgusting and not worth anybody’s time. 

y’all: lmao yeah lesbians are so stupid XDXD XD ily tho

[llesbianfarmer]

it lowkey hurt to read this this is to true

i used to think that a foot of parchment was a lot and feel bad when harry potter characters were assigned to write that much

but then i realized the paper i write on is 8.5 by 11 inches.

so a foot of parchment is the equivalent of like, a page and a half of paper.

they complained SO MUCH about essays that were like

a page and a half

wtf guys

get your shit together

[sweetwineandroses]

No wonder Hermione always got onto the boys for not doing their homework.

[cosmic-aria]

it’s honestly not even a foot and a half it’s just one sheet of paper. a foot is 12 inches. like dang if i had to only write one page long essays in school about cool magic shit then i would have been ecstatic.

[roachpatrol]

also 12pt times new roman— the standard assigned size and font for a lot of essay assignments— produces significantly smaller text than a muggleborn teenageer with a pen and ink quill would be able to manage on the regular, no matter how dedicated she was. ron and harry are frequently noted to be using large handwriting on unlined paper. their homework would have been about three short paragraphs if they were feeling studious. 

no wonder hermione was so fucking exasperated! muggle students their age would have strangled them. 

[space-fey]

Oh
