Feisty pants

Celine. Twenty-six. PhD student at UC San Diego. Made of stardust and iron. I got that red lip classic thing that you like. Taylor Swift knows I exist, which is pretty insane.

“love is so short, forgetting is so long.” —pablo neruda

[becherdireinen]

Any idiot can have sex. But can you make a woman feel safe? Comfortable? Appreciated? Adored? Can you support her at her worst? No? Then stay the fuck away from her.

[soulknowledge]

A lover who’s also your friend. Not somebody that you just lust, because it’s real easy to do that. Somebody that you can connect with intellectually and mentally. No judging. Just being yourself. That’s real beauty.

homophobes are not allowed to use computers because the inventor of the computer was gay

[local-chibi-girl]

People think this is just a joke but Alan Turing was the inventor of the computer and his sexuality was illegal in his time (which was not even 100 years ago) and he was arrested. They put him on drugs that destroyed his genius brain and committed suicide a year after being covicted. He was gay and a war hero as well. He helped to break enigma which was a German code that they put all their messages through. He shorted WWII by two years and saved so many lives in the process.

Friendly reminder that if not for Alan Turing you wouldn’t be reading this post and we might be ruled by the nazis

I think of the words of William Blake: “Children of a future age reading this indignant page. Know that in a former time love, sweet love was thought a crime.”

Inclusive language is for everyone!!

[tricky-pockets]

It's a good one for non-standard relationship styles too. You don't have to split hairs trying to explain "well, it's more serious than 'boyfriend' or 'girlfriend', but we don't have any intention of getting married ever. Or "we live together and are planning our lives together to some extent but it's not a romantic thing" and so on.

[theroguefeminist]

also more inclusive of nonbinary ppl as well since the term is gender neutral

Too bad the prophet Cassandra never met Odysseus

[teaboot]

They say if she made a prophecy Nobody would believe her

[edgar-allan-possum]

I’ve gotta say, that is exactly the kind of stupid thing that probably would circumvent a curse.

[elidyce]

Cassandra: YOU ARE ALL GOING TO REGRET THIS SO MUCH YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW. 

Odysseus: Regret it why?

Cassandra: You won’t believe me if I tell you. If I prophecy, nobody believes me. That is my curse.

Odysseus: … I’m Nobody. Fill me in. 

*A couple of months later* 

Odysseus: HELLO PENELOPE, I AM HERE PRECISELY ON TIME AND NOT YEARS LATE incidentally I rescued and adopted a Trojan seer while I was away, she’s great, got me home really fast, Cassandra this is your new mother who’s not going to treat you like shit. 

Penelope: … I’m going to need more details, but okay, sure. 

Cassandra: *in tears* I love you, new family.
