Stuff and Nonsense.

[bimbocracy]

every single negative stereotype about women was dreamt up by men who were projecting. fight me about it.

[bimbocracy]

“women can’t drive”

It is so well known that women are better and safer drivers than men that OUR CAR INSURANCE RATES ARE LOWER. Women get into fewer accidents, get fewer DUIs, and receive fewer speeding tickets than men.

“women never shut up”

Several scientific studies have shown that not only do men talk more than women, they also think that women have been talking for much longer than they actually have. Men interrupt and talk over women, dominate conversations, and still think women talk too much.

“women are shallow”

Lol next

“my wife is my ball and chain lmao”

Multiple studies have shown that marriage between men and women: Increases male lifespan, decreases female lifespan Decreases male depression rates, increases female depression rates Decreases male stress levels, increases female stress levels Increases male health and happiness, decreases female health and happiness Increases a man’s chance of getting a raise or promotion, decreases a woman’s chances of getting a raise or promotion

“women are too emotional”

Men love to say this about women after hurting them, in order to shift the blame and dismiss their feelings in one go. In reality, women are taught to hold our tongues and control ourselves quite literally from birth. We’re taught to put men’s needs and wants ahead of our own emotions regardless of the personal cost. Men are taught to do more or less whatever the fuck they want to women. Men take their emotions out on women while women are expected to shove theirs down.

I could go on and on but I don’t really think I need to.

Don’t know if I agree or not, but it’s definitely an interesting point.

[bimbocracy]

the nice thing about statistics is that you don’t actually have to agree with them in order for them to be true

the terrifying part is that, 30 years ago you’d have to wait to get the film developed to see what was out there…

Y’all know free condoms is a result of gay activists who worked towards safer sex practices after the AIDS crisis right? Because if not it’s one google search away

My social work education in a nutshell.

[gxing-in-cxrcles-deactivated201]

the worst pain is to make small talk with the person you once told everything.

[hastaluegoputas]

The worst pain is stepping on your pet’s little feet and knowing that they don’t understand what “I’m sorry” means 😩😩😩😩

How was your day?

Is a question I realized I have stopped answering and knowing how to answer these past few months. Someone asked me that this past week, I paused for a second, looked at her and said... “I don’t think you actually want to know the answer to that question.”

Because I know what most people expect the answer to be and it probably doesn’t match up with what I will share. People get difficult co-workers, general tiredness, and hard classes (to an extent). They get that probably because they’ve been through it or something similar at some point in their lives. But my sharing would be along the lines of:

- I helped place an incarcerated woman’s baby in a home today

- I listened to a mom talk for an hour about everything in her life ranging from her guinea pig who died last week to when she was molested as a child, all the while her baby in the incubator next to us had machines dinging because she was getting too overstimulated by her own mom’s voice

- Yet another contingent, rotating social worker was on the floor with me today who didn’t really know what they were doing because organizationally, people who manage social workers are not thinking in sustainable and long-term formats

- A baby died

- A baby was unwanted and given up for adoption

- I called CPS for the nth time because a newborn drug screen was found positive for one substance or another

- I’m tired because of people

- I’m tired because I work, I fake work, and I have class + homework for class

- I got worked up about a policy that should be in place to serve our patients, but isn’t, and then couldn’t do anything about it

- And then I went about my normal life when I got home trying to let it all slide off of me and not infiltrate my own world too deeply

- I asked God why

...rinse and repeat, the list goes on. And I know it, I know that all of our jobs are hard and strenuous and unique to our own situations and callings. I am not claiming to be an anomaly, but what I am saying is I have gotten into the mode of sparing people the details because 1) the details are fricking messy 2) I don’t want pity for my patients or myself and 3) sometimes I’d rather not taint people’s worldviews with all the crap that happens. And it catches up to you... it really does. When you realize that only you and God really know what’s going on and that the isolation has gone on longer than you intended. I know not everyone may see it this way, but it is a gift to share how a day or a week went, and it is a privilege and an honor to hear about how a day or week went.

[shienaminteost]

Wall after wall, He is still Risen

bringing this back because:

1) i rarely use tumblr these days hehe

2) God is using these testimonies to speak to my heart about Him

3) sharing is caring!

On the real though, God you love your daughters so freaking much

Christ, not Christians, is the standard.

Grad School Thought Vomit Take 2

Aldi is THE grocery store to go to when you’re young dumb and broke (aka me). And THANK YOU to all you beautiful people out there who have gifted me with grocery store cards instead of more stuff that I probably don’t need.

Never underestimate the power of those glorious opportunities in life to do the simple things- like the dishes or cutting your toenails.

I’m pretty sure I thought to myself at least once a day, “how do I get my shiz together?” Sadly, I never found the answer..

On that note, there are varying levels of shiz-togetherness of which I think I’m on the bottom level or maybe second from the bottom.

Every meme about sleeping spoke to my soul.

When I was in undergrad I didn’t wanna graduate, when I was working I wanted to go back to school, back at it in school and I just want to work. That’s a funny thing when you feel like you’re the most fickle person ever but also kinda cool because I think it might mean that I know what work God has called me to do on this planet... but who knows, TBD.

Jesus just really loves daughters of God. He loves healing them he loves listening to them he just really really loves them.

If I never got another email in my umich account again, I can’t say I would be all that devastated. Pleasestopsendingmeemailsabouteverysocialjusticeissuemeetingthateverexistedeveridc.

Personal hashtag of the year: #HPLLPM2018 (hate people less love people more), I have 8 more months to nail it.

Can you really call yourself liberal/democratic when you have never been able to see the state of the lowest of the low and you just sit on your seat of privilege “fighting” for people you know nothing about?

Be a light in the world, a city on a hill, the salt in people’s mouth- both in your personal life and fight for that culture in your church.

The highlights of my social life have been during my shifts at Songbird. Does that make me lame? Mayhaps. But I guess I don’t really care because those shifts have been something to look forward to amidst a longggg week.

I was not very good at loving and being a part of my small group. I was there but not present and I pray for some redemption in that area.

There are a lot of things revealed to me that my heart wants to seek, but God said to seek first the Kingdom, so I think I’m going to try and do that next.

Jesus is the only one who’s ever, literally, loved me to death.
