Hey guys! I’m starting a new project if anyone wants to help out!

I’m compiling a list of stories that are basically just anonymous stories or confessions that are wild or crazy things you’ve experienced or done. It can be any kind of tale that you wouldn’t usually tell people, but would be ok with sharing anonymously (funny things or just “WHOA” moments). If you wanna share send me a message or an email (I’ll provide it if you message me)! I can also answer any questions! Thank you!

And the award for most relatable Harry Potter quote goes to:

“No, I’m fine,” said Harry, wondering why he kept telling people this, and wondering whether he had ever been less fine.

Wait for the person who wants to FaceTime you every night because they can’t sleep without you. Wait for the person who always asks how your day was and cares about the details. Wait for the person who knows your coffee order by heart. Wait for the person who knows how to love you when you are sad and can make you laugh when you’re angry. Wait for the person who is willing to go for a drive with you at three am. Wait for the person who gets along with your family and asks how your parents are doing. Wait for the person who energizes you, motivates you, goes on adventures with you, and supports you no matter what. Stop chasing people who can’t be bothered to match your effort.

July 4th, 2018

Today is a holiday so I found this cute spot to eat a cherry tart alone on campus. I finally started drafting a letter I’m going to give my best friend at her wedding. Also, my first post got almost 400 notes! Thank you so much and hello to all my new followers! I hope everyone has a great day today ~

no sideblogs, we chaotically cram our personal posts, aesthetic posts, and 800 hyperfixations into one blog like men

from a comrade

The people who sheltered Jews in hidden rooms and attics and basements during the Holocaust were breaking the law. The people who smuggled 7,000 Jews out of Denmark were breaking the law. Schindler was breaking the law. The Underground Railroad broke the law. Harriet Tubman broke the law. MLK broke the law. Hell, the fucking Boston Tea Party broke the law.

If saving friends and family and innocent people is breaking the law, break the law. If standing up for truth and justice is breaking the law, break the law.

The law is unjust. The law is morally wrong. Break the fucking law.

why do men want to be gynecologists? why? why. gynecology is for females and should be practiced solely by women imo 

[eyesofsomeonenew]

I don’t think a fuckboy is gonna go through years of college education with the mindset of “I’m doing this so I can put metal and cotton swabs in vaginas”…. (more)

[fatallyfeminist-deactivated2020]

lets talk about the arkansas gyno, paul becton jr. who took nude pictures of his female patients 

lets talk about dr. john black (gyno) who sprayed a chemical found in drain cleaner into his female patients’ genitalia

or dr. robert hadden, a gyno who performed unwilling oral sex on his patients and staff member

or dr. bruce sylvester smith, the gyno who raped (at least) one patient and sexually harassed many others.  

and while we’re at it, lets talk about male gyno, dr. john marshall who tricked, drugged, and raped his patient. 

or dr. paul kelly, an indiana ob-gyn who sexually abused his patients and over-prescribed dangerous drugs. 

and dr. kevin pezeshki, who abused several patients and the list goes on and on. 

so actually tons of male doctors abuse their patients, and the cases of female doctors abusing their patients is almost non-existent. so thanks for your comment, but next time, try doing a bit of research.

let’s talk about my patient yesterday who complained that every male ultrasound tech that has performed a vaginal ultrasound on her pushed the probe way too far and clearly had no concept of vaginal comfort during penetrative procedures

let’s talk about how not once have i hurt any of my patients during vaginal ultrasounds, and if they have issues with penetration such as vulvodynia or a history of endometriosis, i take a long, slow time to do the ultrasound and check in frequently, and will attempt to do an abdominal ultrasound instead if warranted

let’s talk about how it is most certainly because i am a woman and therefore i understand my female patients and their comfort levels much more than any dude could.

Every time someone says something like “oh yeah a guy would never go through all that trouble just to rape someone” there are a dozen examples of someone who has done just that
