I’m not vain. I’m just recovering from years and years of low self-esteem.

Dissociation is a waiting game

I feed myself the bare minimum

I talk to people at a bare minimum

I shop for the bare minimum

I go out and do what I have to in a day to the bare minimum

I complete class and do work to the bare minimum

I don’t treat myself or waste money on enjoying the now

because

Right now I'm only living for when I wake up

trump is having a total meltdown over the idea of him not being 100% in charge of his bullshit orders and i’m loving it 

[afunnyfeminist]

Why is he still tweeting from his personal account instead of from @ POTUS? It’s almost like he doesn’t think he’s president either.

Do you ever just lay in bed and realize how not okay you are

“where do you see yourself in five years”

slightly dehydrated, eating refried beans out of a can in an abandoned old metal trailer in the desert. My look can be described as “grungey power ranger shounen.” With me are four other people with similar aesthetics, dipping their feet in a duct-taped wading pool and sharing a cooler of popsicles. Against a cinder-block fire-pit that may or may not shelter multiple rattlesnakes leans a bright yellow vespa that may or may not be able to hover, and a goat is chewing on what’s left of a potted plant just outside the trailer’s front door. On an old radio with antenna longer than I am tall, tuned into an un-locatable radio station, my chemical romance crackles in and out. The government thinks I’m dead and my student loans are void. Things are good.

The ending really floored me.

[vampireapologist-archive-deacti]

Ah I’m glad this is back bc it’s more relevant than ever.

[swarnpert]

write ‘nothing is set in stone’ on my grave as both a witty joke and a subtle warning that i will be back

[libraford]

Remember that time when Pence made a last minute decision to not sign an application for a grant that would have made preschool in Indiana more accessible and help fix our crumbling infrastructure?

[libraford]

Remember that stern letter that a bunch of big businesses in Indiana wrote to Pence because he signed a law that was discouraging business from both within and without the state of Indiana?

[libraford]

Oh, and that time that Pence caused an HIV outbreak in rural Indiana because the only clinic that did HIV testing was a Planned Parenthood and his fixation on defunding reproductive rights caused it to close- even though that particular clinic didn’t even offer abortion services?

[libraford]

And then there’s the “Pence Must Go” signs all over central Indiana…

[libraford]

And who could forget the time that he planned on using taxpayer dollars to fund a news outlet because he couldn’t control the negative image surrounding him from the press.

[libraford]

What about the time that the FEC had to rewrite laws to prevent challenging candidates from using campaign funds for personal use because Mike Pence used 30% of his campaign funds on mortgage payments and golf tournaments?

[libraford]

And who else remembers when they were giving states a chance to individually tailor their Clean Energy laws to fit the needs of the state and Pence just said ‘no’ and didn’t offer any alternative?

[libraford]

Hey, what about that time that Pence stated that condoms were ‘too modern’ of a solution to HIV and STI prevention and that abstinence was the best choice?

Remember also that 49% of pregnancies in Indiana are unintended, and that out of 1000 teenagers, an average of 49 will become pregnant before they age of 19. And that STI cases have reached record rates for the state of Indiana.

[libraford]

Oh! Remember when Pence went against the advice of legal professionals and signed a good number of laws that mean that you are classified as a drug dealer (whether proven or not) if you are found with a certain quantity of drugs in your possession, and increased the minimum sentence to ten years- even when it was argued by many legal sources that the best way to combat drug use is rehabilitation and not incarceration?

[libraford]

How about the time that he campaigned heavily against raising the minimum wage to match neighboring states, even though an overwhelming majority of Hoosiers polled said that they support a $9/hr wage and approximately 93000 residents of the state bring home less than $300 a week?

[lillivati]

Or that time he stripped the office of state superintended of all its meaningful power because he didn’t like who won.  (More.)

That person being Glenda Ritz, who by the way, received more votes than Pence.

[libraford]

Of course, I thought that it needed no mention, but who could ever forget the national embarrassment that was the RFRA laws, which allowed business-owners to refuse service to people if they felt ‘religiously burdened,’ which essentially boiled down to discriminating people who are part of the LGBTQ community. 

[libraford]

And you know I’d love to rant about Mike Pence all day long, but for those of you who want a more comprehensive list of how incompetent he’s been as our governor, this one sums it up pretty nicely and has sources! 

[libraford]

Oh, but don’t take my word for it: here’s another masterpost of all this and more. 

[libraford]

And just in case you thought he was done being awful- how about the time that Pence and Trump made a visit to Louisiana despite the fact that politicians were asked NOT to visit the flooded areas for essentially photo ops because its a further strain on resources? Meanwhile, South Bend IN is currently experiencing a flood where a visit would not be a negative impact the resources, but a photo op in Baton Rouge is more important somehow. 

[libraford]

Also seemingly less important than an unwelcome photo op is the soil in East Chicago, IN- which has a lead content 30 times what is considered unsafe levels for children to be in contact with. This comes from a man whose initial decision not to run for President was based on his ‘need to focus on his home state.’ 

[libraford]

Of course, everyone remembers how the RFRA, a law that was written in the spirit of LGBTQ discrimination, was strongly protested but signed anyway. No one could have possibly guessed that people would try to use it to justify child abuse- except for literally every person who protested. 

[libraford]

But to put a little more levity in this post, Purvi Patel’s sentence of feticide has been reduced to ‘child neglect’ and she’s out of jail. So that’s good news! 

Of course, injustices like these haven’t stopped radical anti-choice laws from being signed in during the entire run of the controversy.

Mike Pence is sub-human garbage and that dead-eyed reptile looking fucker is the worst thing to be inflicted on the human species since cancer or the AIDS virus

[month-0f-august]

It’s frustrating to see how all hate is being treated as though it were equal. The whole rhetoric of “You’re becoming the hate that you opposed so much.” But it’s not that simple. Not all hate can be viewed equally.

A woman hates her abuser for how she was treated.

Her abuser hates her for existing as a woman.

We cannot treat the hate of the victims as the same thing as the hatred they face. That is belittling their experiences and silencing their (justified) reactions.

Enough of this, “stop spreading more hate” rhetoric. We are under no obligation to love those who constantly and consistently mistreat us.

THANK YOU.

THIS

Bigots, abusers, rapists, murderers, fascists…these are people who DESERVE TO BE HATED

Hating evil and vile people is NOT THE SAME THING as hating someone for their gender or skin colour or sexuality or religion

someone: watch your language

me: oh, fuck, sorry

I actually cried at this. When this wave of amazing male voices sounded out, I cried. This two part chant completes a circle of progressive ad safety.

This completes the circle. Keep it going
