Sonder: The realization that each passerby has a life as vivid and complex as your own.

Opia: The ambiguous intensity of Looking someone in the eye, which can feel simultaneously invasive and vulnerable.

Monachopsis: The subtle but persistent feeling of being out of place.

I live for things like this.

If anyone in California is interested in adopting a dog or a cat, Kerns County Animal Shelter ( one of the most disgraceful shelters in California ) is being shut down. Dogs are being sold for 15$ and cats for 5$ ( all are fixed with shots. )

Every animal will be put down by September 30th.

July: Summer Sunshine

Let’s get back into the swing of things with the return of Back On Pointe’s monthly workout calendars! We have just two for July, a basic one and one with extra rest days for beginners.

The directions are simple: find the current date on the calendar, see what workout(s) it asks for, and pick one from each section listed for that date. For example, if today it says “Arms” and “General,” I’d find an arm workout and a general workout to do today.

Feel free to substitute an HIIT workout for any cardio workout listed. This is especially helpful if you don’t have a lot of time for cardio.

If you’d like to write about your experiences during the month or see how others are doing, please use the tag “BoP: July”. By all using this tag, we can see what others are doing during the month and send others encouragement along the way. Let’s all support each other on our journeys! (If you’re not on Tumblr but still use these calendars, feel free to update us on the Back On Pointe Facebook Page or the Back On Pointe Fitocracy Group! Or, post on Instagram or Twitter!)

During the month, remember that you should take as many rest days as you need, modify any workouts that you cannot do, stay hydrated, get more low-intensity cardio, and eat well.

Have fun!

p.s. Any of the calendars can be modified. If you are training for a half-marathon, feel free to count that as your cardio on cardio days. If you’re sore in the arms from helping a friend move, substitute a butt workout instead. It’s all about you!

A lot of people conceptualize their period as their uterus having a tantrum about there being no baby. I used to do that, too.

Then I found this article about why we menstruate and I realized that’s not what’s going on.

It’s actually my uterus saying, “Look, you don’t want a baby this month. I certainly don’t want a damn baby this month. We’re going to make damn sure there’s no baby this month even if I have to nuke the site from orbit.”

And I think that’s beautiful.

Since the Vote Yes picture I did ended up getting a good bit of attention (which was super overwhelming btw, it was so lovely to see so many supportive and kind messages), I wanted to make a small follow-up pic since yesterday, Saturday May 23rd, the Marriage Equality Referendum passed by an overwhelming Yes vote.

So many people have written some very wonderful and moving pieces about this historic day that are more eloquent than I could ever hope to be, so all in all I just wanna say that yesterday was the first time I ever felt I had a legitimate reason to feel proud to be Irish. We have shown the world that we are capable of breaking away from our conservative past and that at heart we are a people who believe that everyone should be treated equally. I’m so glad that in the end we pulled together and did the right thing <3

as pride season rolls around let me remind fellow het-partnered bisexual people:

Pride really isn’t for you, so don’t act like you deserve to be there as much lesbians and gay men. Really, just don’t go at all, because there are no resources there that are for you. what are you proud of? being in the relationship literally everyone expects you to be in and that introduces no actual oppression into your life?

but at the very least, if you must go (and god knows hell nor high water will stop you) please, please, please

don’t

bring

your

het

 partner

THANK YOU.

[corellianbear-blog]

This just in- Bisexuals not welcome at Pride. I guess I’ve been reading LGBT wrong this entire time.

[duckduckbae]

Hi. CHECK YOURSELVES. Don’t cut people out of a community because we aren’t “gay enough” for you. Pride is a chance for everyone in the community to come together and SUPPORT EACH OTHER. This ain’t a competition it’s PRIDE. ITS SHOWING PRIDE IN OUR IDENTITIES. DONT TAKE THAT OPPORTUNITY AWAY FROM PEOPLE BECAUSE YOU WANT TO PUT YOURSELVES ON A PEDESTAL WITH A GOLD FUCKING MEDAL FOR HAVING IT THE WORST.

And all that aside. Pride is for the whole lgbtq community and its supporters. Christ.

gendercool: when you’re not a boy or a girl and you’re not entirely sure what your gender is but man you are cool

[amethystlesbian]

Maybe we need more bad cops?

[kemeticnegropeon-deactivated201]

These are the cops that don’t get attention when people are shouting #CopsLivesMatter, they don’t fit apologists agenda to defend corruption as long as it serves THEIR purpose (especially in cases of racial profiling)

[byakuya-mioda]

if exploring your gender is ‘becoming a trend’ then i’m glad it’s replacing the ‘being confused and miserable with no context or vocabulary for what you’re going through’ trend
