I think we need to talk about the under appreciated Window Seat fandom

I mean really? With the book shelves?

It’s like an alcove of happiness.

You want a whole row of individual seats? Fine, here you go. 

Or how about a whole window bed for those snugglers out there.

Curtains.. Guys this one has curtains.

Seriously? This is basically a glass cube of bliss.

 You can even get them with corners! Not enough corners? Okay.

Ba-BAM!! Corners for cocooning. 

There’s also the Roman-esque themed seat for the historians out there. 

 If you don’t want to snuggle up in blankets with hot cocoa in this then I don’t even know why you’re on this planet. I mean dat stonework. 

This one’s an entire rectangle. Just imagine all the cuddling that could happen in there. It’s practically a fortress.

This one’s fucking curved okay? it’s just chillin, up of the ground, and curved for your lounging convenience. 

don’t like rectangles or square? Okay. Have a fucking trapezoid seat.

i am asked about my favorite color.

i am seven

and my reply is

pink

because i am a girl

and pink

is a princess color.

i am asked about my favorite color.

i am ten

and i like

green

because a boy told me that pink

is lame and girly.

i am asked about my favorite color.

i am thirteen

and i tell them

purple

it is unique and spunky

like i want to be.

i am asked about my favorite color.

i am seventeen

and i just say

red

i do not say

it is bright and angry at the world

as i am

i cannot form the words to express

all of my frustrations

so i paint my lips with

rage.

i am asked about my favorite color.

i am twenty

and it’s pink

i remember the joy

of being a child

i reclaim the freedom

of femininity

because i cannot remember

what my shoulders felt like

before the depression

hung from them.

i am asked about my favorite color.

i am twenty-six

and my answer is

brown

it confuses most people

they don’t see it

they may think of dirt

and dust

and dead things

but it is coffee with friends

and the chocolate chip cookies

my mom used to make.

it is my hair

and my eyes

amber and gold

in the sun

and i love myself

again

ASMR - What it is and why you should watch it.

ASMR – What it is and why you should watch it.

ASMR – Autonomous sensory meridian response.

ASMR signifies the subjective experience of “low-grade euphoria” characterized by “a combination of positive feelings and a distinct static-like tingling sensation on the skin”.

ASMR helped me through a lot of hard times through the last few years. I think it is often joked about but it can be a real life saver if you suffer from anxiety or…

Here it is people, its that simple!

[o-valley-of-plenty-deactivated2]

Cant emphasize this enough. Whats the point of wearing a mask if you’re not gonna cover your nose?? Or constantly touch it and then proceed to touch everything else?? Also wtf is wrong with people and social distancing in say, from my experience, the grocery store?

Like ma'am, theres enough space to fit three trolleys side by side in this isle, you don’t need to be standing so fucking close to me with your karen nose hanging tf out

[magdolenelives]

“Karen nose hanging tf out” was the laugh I badly needed right now (and is quite apt besides). I thank you!

every woman on tumblr should have this on their dash

Look how nobody’s yelling or arguing or making things into a competition. Look how this is to straight up educate people through a different perspective. Look how effective that makes the message.

The last one really hit me. I never really thought about something like that could actually impact a woman’s life. Damn…

The real problem with Cuties on Netflix...

The real problem with Cuties on Netflix…

Now I want to preface this by saying that I have not watched the movie. However, that doesn’t mean that I can’t comment on it because the problem I have is not with the movie plot.

The problem I have is that they used 11 year old actors. They filmed 11 year old girls performing sexualised actions. They filmed close ups of the girls backsides and groin areas while thrusting and twerking and in…

Cancel Culture

Cancel culture is a very big deal at the moment. If you’ve been on youtube in the past couple of days you will surely have seen it in a title somewhere.

I think people should be given the benefit of the doubt, making a racist comment years ago doesn’t make you a racist however making multiple comments over a long period of time says otherwise.

Saying you’re sorry isn’t enough!

Don’t forget…
