someone being a jerk: i have depression okay????
me, who also has depression:
Relationships get so bananas when you start deciphering the other personâs love language.
Like I thought I was just acquaintances with this person because they never told me details about themselves and we just talked movies and writing . But then they made time to have coffee with me and they showed up out of breath because they ran. Like. RAN to be on time for coffee with me?
And I was like âi donât mind waitingâ cause I never want to run
But they said they wanted every minute they could get because Iâm so busy usually
Which is when it clicked that I didnât get how much they considered me a friend because I just straight away didnât see MY signs of affection in them and went âcool! Casual buds it is.â But now that Iâm seeing their signs of affection, I feel a little silly for dismissing them like that even though I felt like we could be best bros.
Anyway, some people show affection through time or intensity or commitment and not vocally. I really have to remember that!
This is important

And meanwhile, assholes with no sense of irony or history refer to the naming of sexual predators as a witch hunt.Â
being born in the late 90âČs is a really weird time because our coming of age is/was so tied into the expansion of personal technology? like for so many of us the transition from getting your first flip phone to smartphones wasnât just a technology shift, it was part of growing up. and it created this really weird timeline where new technologies were being created right as we entered the right age market to use them, so now we all know intuitively how to use snapchat or the social context of emoji use or whatever but we can also remember childhoods spent (almost) entirely outside and offline. like you get all the disillusionment of the older millennial generation except now with the stress of spending your adolescence measuring yourself against others on social media and itâs really fucking confusing
you put it into words
iâve noticed that a lot of people confuse ârespects womenâ with ârespects women they consider respectableâ. Â

thoughts on the friendzone
when i was 5 years old my best friend was a boy named kyle who didnât know how to knock on doors so he made dinosaur noises outside my window to wake me up in the summer until i demonstrated how to ball his fists and slam them against my doors. Â we collected caterpillars in my trailer park and built them houses while we traded pokemon cards. Â he wasnât the only one. Â there was ben, and mitch, and noahâbut kyleâs the only one who hurt me, because when he tried to kiss me and i asked him why, he told me âbecause youâre a girl and iâm a boy, shouldnât we like each other?â
i missed him so much and i wondered why he couldnât just be my friend like he always was
in the first grade there was rich and joseph and i got sent to detention with them almost every day with a smile on my face. Â we built block towers and sang to my teacherâs lion king soundtracks when sheâd turn the lights off during lunch time. Â one day they got in a fist fight over me at recess, and i wondered why they felt they needed to share my friendship, like it was something they owned.
in the second grade zach and i played yu gi oh under our desks during free time and i got moved for talking to him constantly. Â everyone in the class would tease him and i for talking, asking when we were going to date already, asking him if heâd kissed me, and he stopped being my friend.
when i was 11 i met a chubby boy with the name of a colour who wore puffy vests and unwashed t-shirts, with greasy hair and bright blue eyes and a smile that hid hurt behind it. Â people didnât like him because he was silly, but i liked him, because i was also silly. Â he became my friend the day he bought me 5 giant roses and asked me to be his girlfriend, and i politely declined but promised him iâd be his best friend because iâd always wanted a best guy friend that stuck around. we burnt our feet on the concrete during the summer and walked home with the sunset silhouetting us. Â he talked often about how he loved me, but never blamed me for being me, even though he refused to move on. that boy dyed his hair jet black and sat on the end of my bed playing songs to me on guitar, and all that pent up rage from before didnât show until the first time he slapped me across the face and called me a dumb cunt.
in the 7th grade there was a boy named ryan who sat next to me on the bus and talked to me about manga. Â heâd ask me personal invasive questions but i didnât mind because it was attention and i liked attention. Â i was dating another guitarist with curly brown hair, one who was much more kind-tempered than the other, and ryan mentioned how much of an asshole he was every day. Â i wondered, why, why does he think the love of my life is an asshole? Â but whenever i asked him, he just told me, âgirls only date assholes. Â thereâs no room for nice guys like me.â
i wondered, if he was so nice, why did he say such mean things?
he never stopped with me, taking me to movies, hanging out with me, you know. Â being friendly. Â i thought we were friends. Â but then, how many times had i thought that before?
how many times had i bonded with a boy, thought they got me, only for them to ask me if i wanted to make out?
how come when i told ryan i was coming out as a lesbian, he stopped being my friend, and said âdamnit, the one girl i really want to pound into a mattress, and sheâs only interested in chicks!â
there was a boy my junior year who stayed up all night with me until the sun rose, talking about life, past loves, hopes, dreams. Â beneath a million twinkling stars spanning forever, he brushed long brown hair out of his eyes and listened to me talk about the history that made me. then he asked me if iâd ever consider dating a guy, and complained about how heâd never get laid.
when i told him no a couple hundred times, he found new girls to listen to.
i would sit on the couch and play zelda with dakota, and heâd talk about all my favourite games with me. Â he was the closest thing to support i had, and the letters and poems he wrote me were always so kind and friendly. Â but heâd put his arms around me on the couch, and no matter how many times i told him i was uncomfortable, heâd still come over every day and do it.
âdonât you know how it feels to love someone and not have them love you back? Â donât you know what it feels like to be friendzoned?â
when i meet guys who talk about the friendzone, who talk about the girls who donât give ânice guysâ like them i chance, i always want to just say
when i was 10 years old i met a girl whose brown hair fell across her shoulders and whos eyes sparkled when the sunlight hit them, whose voice was like velvet and whose scent was like mountain smoke, who made me dizzier than a fly climbing a sugar hill. Â and iâm 18 years old, and i still love her, and she knows, and she doesnât love me.
but my first thoughts upon hearing her rejection were not âwhat a bitch,â were not âshe just wants a douchebag and not a nice girl like me!â were not âim going to keep pushing her until she dates me,â
they were
âshe is the best friend i have ever had, and i am the best sheâs ever had, and i would hate to take that away from her.â
so before you play the victim, mr. Nice Guy, before you angrily throw your fedora on the ground and blame the girl you claim to adore so much:
put yourself in the shoes of a girl who thought she made a wonderful friend, only to find out that he just wanted her for sex. Â that he just wanted her for a relationship. Â a girl who was just an object to win, a prize. Â a girl whoâs trust youâve just shattered.
maybe she friendzoned you. Â but you girlfriendzoned her, first.
I am clapping for this, you just canât see it.
okay honestly wow Iâm oh my god just
GIRLFRIENDZONED!! OH MY GOD YES

An audience member stopped World Science Festival host Jim Holt from speaking over physics professor Veronika Hubeny
follow @the-future-now
From Marilee Talkingtonâs post:
So, after thinking about this over night, Iâve decided to share something that happened at the WORLD SCIENCE FESTIVAL yesterday afternoon in NYC that changed me. Or rather made me step into who I am in a larger way.
As some on my feed have seen, I was live-feeding the beginning of the panel discussion on FB. That panel was made up of some of the greatest and most famous minds in the world in Inflationary Cosmology, String Theory, Cosmology and Physics based Philosophy. The panel was made up of 5 men and 1 woman. And the moderator was a science writer and journalist for The New Yorker.
In the first hour of the panel discussion you can see clearly, if watching the video, that Veronika Hubeny, the only woman on the panel is barely given any opportunity to speak. And the Moderator, Jim Holt even acknowledges this.
In the last 20-30 minutes of the 90 minute discussion Jim Holt finally pushes the conversation to Hubenyâs field of expertise, string theory, and this is what ensued:
He asked her to describe her two theories of string theory that seem to contradict one another.
And THEN, without letting her answer, proceeded to answer for her and describe HER theories in detail without letting her speak for herself.
We could clearly see that she was trying to speak up. But he continued to talk over her and dominate the space for several minutes.
I should say that this panel was taking place in a large auditorium as it is an extremely high-profile and always sold-out event. And the panel discussion was being live-streamed across the world and they say that millions of people watch these videos after they are made public. (Which they already are).
So at this point, after seeing very clearly that she was not going to be given space to speak and in fact having her own theories described to the audience by the moderator, I am in full outrage. My body is actually beginning to shake. The sexism is beyond blatant. It is happening on stage and NO ONE, not a single other physicist or panelist is stepping in to say anything about it. And I can hear other audience members around me, both men and women becoming more and more agitated with what is happening. Jim Holt, even at one point, asks Veronica a question and she laughs because he has been answering his own questions about her workâŠand he makes fun of her for âgigglingâ.
So at some point while he is Still talking about Her theories, I just canât handle it any longer.
With my hands shaking,
I finally say from my seat in the 2nd row of the audience, as clearly, directly and loudly as possible;
âLet. Her. Speak. Please!â
The moderator stops.
They all stop.
The auditorium drops into silence.
You could hear a pin drop.
And then the audience explodes with applause and screams.
Jim Holt eventually sat back, only after saying I was heckling him And he let her speak. And of course, she was brilliant.
ââââââââ
So, the panel discussion ends.
My hands are still shaking. Iâm still upset by the incredible sexism that has been demonstrated this afternoon. But I also realize that I just spoke up in an auditorium full of people that are listening to people that are considered gods in the international science world. I was just overwhelmed by it all
We get up to leave.
And then it happens.
Person after person come up to me. Both men and women.
The first woman, right behind me, reaches over and embraces me and says, âOh my god. what you said was the most important thing that was said all day. Thank you. Thank you.â
And then people start filing out of their aisles and wind their way over to me:
âWas that you? Thank you so much for speaking up. Thank you.â
âWas that you? Oh god, what he was doing was horrific. Thank you. I wanted to do something but didnât know howâ
âWas that you? I wish I had the courage to say something, thank you! Thank you so muchâ
âWas that you? You said what everyone here was thinking. Look I had even been writing in my notebook what you eventually said (shows me his notebook with âlet her speakâ written over and over.) But you said it. You said it. Thank you.â
âWas that you? Thank you! I felt so powerless to do anything.â
And on.
So we were all thinking this.
â- So I walked out. And my friend who was sitting about 8 rows behind me, came up to me with a huge grin and said âThat was you, wasnât it? Of course it was. YES!!!!! I will be telling this story for years.â
And the whole time, my hands are still shaking. And Iâm felling light-headed. And I just want to scream out into the lobby âWHY IS THIS SEXISM STILL HAPPENING? WHY, does someone like me, with No status in that room, have to be so extraordinarily bold and speak up? And why was it so frightening to do so?â
And Iâm thinking. âGod, please god let this be an opening for those that were here today and the tens of thousands that watched the live-streaming of the panel yesterday and the hundreds of thousands that will watch the video this year- to speak up when we see this happening. And please let me not be afraid to do this again âŠand again âŠand againâ Because it was scary.
Please keep giving me courage.
