Idiots. Note that these students were protesting cuts to higher education spending — the opposite of most Tea Party “no big government” policy.
PLEASE. Remember.

Verbal abuse is not always loud. It does not always contain profanity or even an angry tone of voice. It can be spoken, and decimate you, rip you to shreds and kill your soul, in the most pleasant and caring tone of voice. It is insidious and crazymaking specifically because it so often comes from those that “care” about us, and it leaves no mark. “For your own good.” “If you just...

At this point, sex should be low pressure for me. I am one of the one percent of women who can have an orgasm just by thinking about having an orgasm. I’m not sure why this is. Maybe because my mom taught me to do Kegel exercises before I even got my first period. I can orgasm ten times before the guy has one.
But the nonverbal cues you do to get to the sex really stress me out. It seems like a...

This implies that people who identify as agnostic are really atheists who don’t speak out. I’m going to call bullshit.

Because god forbid that the government ever again do something that was both profitable and advantageous for everyone involved.

To Do List
Learn, live and love.
Welcome change.
Know that everything you’ve seen and everything you’ve learned and everything you’ve done to this point is just the tiniest fraction of what lies ahead.
Help the people who need it.
Embrace someone who don’t fit in.
Smile at someone who doesn’t exactly look like everyone else.
Read a book.
Write a poem.
Write a letter.

Double Take, by Kate Clanchy
sniffyjenkins:
I imagined that you’d miss me, thought you’d pace your hardwood floor in odd worn socks, watch the clock sit stuck,
get late to work, type my name caps lock press and hold shift/break, miss buses, meals or sit with fork half-way, lost, for minutes, hours, sleep badly, late, dream chases, shake send fingers out to pad the pillow, find my hollow, start awake, roll over, hug...

William Butler Yeats - Ephemera
‘Your eyes that once were never weary of mine Are bowed in sorrow under pendulous lids, Because our love is waning.’ And then She: ‘Although our love is waning, let us stand By the lone border of the lake once more, Together in that hour of gentleness When the poor tired child, passion, falls asleep. How far away the stars seem, and how far Is our first kiss, and ah, how old my...

Because, even though it is still my favorite poem, and even though it still makes me tear up (especially when I listen to LaDawn’s audio post from way back when), even I can’t reblog myself for the fourth time.
