On the Road

Rachel. 25 and working on things. I want to rule the world from my bed. I enjoy collecting records, crying over movies, dissecting TV shows, reading ALL the books, art, wonderful human beings, finding creative outlets, and discussing social conflict....

Act my age? What the fuck is that, “act my age”? What do I care how old I am? The Ocean is old as fuck. It will still drown your ass with vigor.

So...what is the best way to “force” my literary/feminist agenda on a 10 year old girl that I am buying a Christmas present for as part of one of those “adopt a child” programs? She asked for a Project MC2 spy notebook (which I guess is a Netflix show? Go figure) which apparently helps focus on tech, math, and things like that. I also always include a book in my adopt a child programs because I love books and that’s who I am. So do I go Harriet the Spy to keep with the spy theme, or something like 50 Great Women in Science?

Utterly devastated

People in the real world always say, when something terrible happens, that the sadness and loss and aching pain of the heart will "lessen as time passes," but it isn't true. Sorrow and loss are constant, but if we all had go go through our whole lives carrying them the whole time, we wouldn't be able to stand it. The sadness would paralyze us. So in the end we just pack it into bags and find somewhere to leave it.

Android phones now respond to Harry Potter spells as commands

That isn’t the only way Google is getting into the Harry Potter spirit. You can also explore the streets of 1926 New York (the setting of Fantastic Beasts) via maps, getting an up-close personal view of key locations in the film. But wait, there’s more!

Hey gang,

As usual, I’m trying to get back into posting on here but things are a little crazy for me right now. In the meantime, I low-key started an Instagram earlier this year. It’s public and you can feel free to follow me @digitalwitnesses 

I’m not even posting there as often as I was, but it’s something :)

COLOUR PALETTE MEME: Beauty and the Beast (1991)

          Ashamed of his monstrous form, the beast concealed himself inside his castle, with a magic mirror as his only window to the outside world. The rose she had offered was truly an enchanted rose, which would bloom until his twenty-first year. If he could learn to love another, and earn her love in return by the time the last petal fell, then the spell would be broken. If not, he would be doomed to remain a beast for all time. As the years passed, he fell into despair, and lost all hope, for who could ever learn to love a beast?

it’s 2016, callout culture has gone on for more than long enough now, let it die, it’s time

callout for this post wtf is “callout culture”

[vauxhallandi]

callout culture is falling out with someone and digging through their archive to compile a list of things they said five years ago to turn total strangers against them

callout culture is reblogging a callout post for a total stranger made by a total stranger out of a misplaced sense of moral righteousness

callout culture is overusing the word ‘problematic’ to the point where saying something out of ignorance thirty years ago is placed on the same level as assaulting children

callout culture is expecting people to disclose deeply personal information pertaining to their mental health, experience of abuse and other incredibly sensitive subjects before engaging in a discussion with total strangers

callout culture is bombarding people with accusatory messages as soon as a celebrity or tv show they like fucks up, as if it was their fault or they can do anything about it and as if it’s possible for anyone or anything to be perfect enough to be deemed worthy of fandom by those standards

callout culture is refusing to give people room to fuck up and then grow and learn and to acknowledge that people and media mean a lot to people for an enormous variety of reasons and expecting people to be able to (and to want to) just cut all emotional ties they have with something or someone when they fuck up is unreasonable and unrealistic

callout culture is claiming to stand for social justice, but driving young teenagers to the point of suicide because maintaining a sense of ideological purity is seen as preferable to remembering that we all used to be ignorant on various issues and educating those who just didn’t know any better
