Oh, new years...
It’s only 6PM and I’ve seen 5 cop cars and some sixth graders losing their shit on a street corner about “you’ll never guess what happened?!”.
I have no makeup on and I’m dressed like a slob and some really cute Blockbuster guy hit on me while I was there but I just laughed at his lines because I’m inept at flirting.
I’m going to a house party...

I'm totally fan-girling for this feminist tumblr. →
I keep spamming their ask box with gushy mini fan letters and I seriously reblog every post on the page. The avatar picture is of Erykah Badu which, I mean, is reason enough to follow someone.

From [cnn’s] article: “From Tiger Woods — whose scandal actually broke in 2009, but mushroomed in 2010 — to Jesse James, reports of celebrity straying were everywhere from celebrity magazine covers to internet gossip sites.”

– (via velvet-hammer)
YES. I agree with this so much. I cry…a lot. I am often moved to tears by my own expression and was told by people around me (never my mother) growing up that I was “too” emotional, “too sensitive”. FUCK THAT NOISE. I think it takes great strength...

We Can’t Be Equal While:
Gender Roles
Men are the default and women are the Other (and therefore lesser).
Being called “girly” or a “sissy” or “pussy” are some of the worst insults you can give a man.
