for my anthropology class we had to do an approx. 10 minute presentation on a topic from the textbook and she gave us the option of having her present for us, and even though my anxiety makes public speaking extra hard and scary i chose to present mine and that is personal growth and i am proud (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)و

do urself a solid 2k16: this year should be full of doing favors for ur future self. if ur super tired but u still have homework, outline what u have to do so u can finish it faster in the morning instead of leaving urself with a blank page and more stress. figure out what u wanna wear tomorrow the night before so u have more time in the morning to do others stuff. if u see a snack u like get it and save it so u can have it later when u forgot u even bought it. the best moments are the ones where ur like ¨damn i really came thru for myself.¨ be ur future self’s best fren

This is why every time we get a “too many women” complaint we look back at our recent shows, realize that women have not been even half of them, and do more shows on women to make up for our own inadvertent complicity.

It must be nice to never even consider someone else’s position. White men have things so easy. It’s unbelievable.

Adolescence, for a woman, is the slow realization that you are not considered as fully human as you hoped. You are a body first, and your body is not yours alone: whether or not you are attracted to men, men and boys will believe they have a claim on your body, and the state gets to decide what you’re allowed to do with it afterwards.

radical softness as a weapon, Lora Mathis (2015) radical softness is the idea that sharing your emotions is a political move & a tactic against a society which prioritizes a lack of emotions. strength does not have to mean turning off how you feel and being guarded. it can be sharing yourself openly. it can be putting energy into healing. it can be documenting your vulnerability in-order to make others feel less alone. it can be refusing to be sorry for how you feel. radical softness combats the toxic masculinity which permeates our culture and embraces softness and emotionality-however they may look. 

all of these photos are available as prints here. please consider buying one. my computer just broke beyond repair & i do not have the money to buy a new one.

i love how amber rose’s male t shirts for male feminists are “former slut shamer” unlike emma watson’s he for she “this is what a feminist looks like shit” like amber is forcing men to take responsiblity rather than making feminism appear appealing for the sake of being accepted by men and if they wanna be part of the movement they need to realize they are privileged and wont have to deal with these double standards despite being educated now

you think you’re in love and this is the one and this is it. you may be right, but before you move heaven and earth and split the sea down the middle to make it work, take their hand in yours, turn the lights off, turn your computers and phones and the tv off. shut yourself off from the world. is this someone you can sit with in the darkness? is this someone you can sit with in silence? is this someone you can spend hours doing nothing else but counting the distance between lightning and thunder? because life is more than a forever of picture perfect moments - it’s darkness, and silence and interludes in which you hold your breath. forever should not feel like forever, it should feel like no time at all; it should feel like a blink of an eye; an interlude between the lightning strike and a thunder.
