Are White People Racially Oppressed? →
Hey girl, this link is for you. I’m sorry you thought this post was about you, because it really wasn’t. However, I’m not sorry you decided to end our friendship over it. If you hadn’t, I never would have known what an untrustworthy, childish person you are. And since I prefer to not have that type of person in my life, you did me a huge favor.
So here’s a gift. Your...
Having one of those weeks where I hate everyone.
I want more female friends. I’m terrible at making them. I tend to get intimidated and then not know what to say… it’s kind of pathetic. This will probably end up turning into a new year’s resolution.

I just thought of what it would be like to have a boyfriend (I’ve been seeing a guy so I guess it’s a possibility) and the idea alone of having to talk to someone on the phone every day and like, asking him how he’s doing when I don’t care completely exhausted me.
I don’t want a boyfriend, I just want to cry about not having one.
This is me in a nutshell.

I seriously thought I would weep when I read this, and I’m publishing it so I can have a record of it forever. Thank you so, so much for your kind words, you have no idea how much this means to me.
I’m a lurker. I use your stuff because I’m the dad of two girls, one who is a tween, and I NEED to learn what they are facing and how to help them. I’ve frequently used your posts to...

STFU, Sexists.: Because a White Guy Said It →
uhuh-she-said:
Listen,
It does not matter what you say. As a woman, as a woman of color, as a woman of size, as a woman with large breasts or no breasts and a lifetime of experience with bucket loads of passion. It does not fucking matter.*
Because unless there is a white guy backing you…

“The Salvation Army has refused assistance to gay couples unless they break up and “go straight”, Muslim families who refuse to attend “Christian Bible classes”, kids who can’t prove their immigration status, and more.”
Admittedly, i only skimmed the article, but this quote alone should give you a pretty good idea of how awful they are.
EDIT: I also...
I fucking hate my job.
But I am so lucky to have it. And that’s the really depressing part.

I Am So Not Sorry About My Vagina, And Other... →
I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. I’m really, really sorry. I’m sorry I looked at you while you were watching TV. I’m sorry I lowered the window. I’m sorry it’s not organic. I’m sorry I got you so many Christmas presents. I’m sorry I cut my hair without asking you first. I’m sorry I applied to school….
I need to work on this. Kind of a lot, actually. I have apologized for so many things that were...
ahuntersheart:
I want you to feel the unbearable lack of me. I want your skin to yearn for the soft lure of mine; I want those hints of red on your canvas to deepen in passion for me: carmine, burgundy. I want you to keep stubbing your toe on the memory of me; I want your head to be dizzy and your stomach in a spin; I want you to hear my voice in your ear, to touch your face ...

So true. I dated a guy earlier this year who thought he was “not into make-up.” He’d occasionally say something like, “You don’t wear much make-up; I like that.” And I would think to myself, what is he talking about?...
