I realized this week that film critics and academics talk to each other about films and filmmakers talk to each other about life ideas concepts
I think most service dogs on planes shouldn't be there and I am afraid that we start taking on that american habit
Reblog if you think it’s rude to not offer to let someone go ahead of you in line if they literally just have one thing and you have a whole basket full of things
Trying to prove a point to the guy in front of me in Whole Foods just now
I have nooooooo self restraint
I am not 'impulsive' per se but when a thought or whim gets in my mind it will NOT get out
do other people regularly have sex dreams with actual sex actively occurring in them or are your sex dreams mostly about weird frustrating sexual problems, like ‘there’s a hot girl waiting for me but the door won’t close’ or ‘I’m desperately trying to take my pants off but my clothes are somehow horrifically congealed to my skin and I’m trying to be lowkey about it so she doesn’t get turned off’ or ‘my genitals melted off in the bath and now I have three minutes to come up with a convincing lie about how they work or I will lose my healthcare coverage’
I put honey in the nicest coffee I've ever had and I should go to jail for that
“The erotic has often been misnamed by men and used against women. It has been made into the confused, the trivial, the psychotic, the plasticized sensation. For this reason, we have often turned away from the exploration and consideration of the erotic as a source of power and information, confusing it with its opposite, the pornographic. But pornography is a direct denial of the power of the erotic, for it represents the suppression of true feeling. Pornography emphasizes sensation without feeling. The erotic is a measure between the beginnings of our sense of self and the chaos of our strongest feelings. It is an internal sense of satisfaction to which, once we have experienced it, we know we can aspire.”

the most vile fetish stuff becoming mainstream pop culture drives me crazyyy
and everyone is like "well what if she's into it!"
fetish is supposed to be hidden and taboo not the forefront of culture. you're supposed to be a weirdo and okay with it.
like you can think that a bunch of freaks doing stuff in a dungeon is morally right or wrong
but that has a very different societal effect to putting it in an ad in the metro or in a pop music video, where it becomes a part of culture and collective consciousness

I officially LOVE teaching adults lol. my student today was asking me what drugs I've tried and we shared our experiences with weed, she recommended me her favorite whiskey etc... I want to party with her
some women are so insecure and use that to judge other women it is so pathetic. like they wish they'd be more extroverted and they judge every extroverted woman. they wish they were more intellectual and then think every woman they see reading a book is faking it. so lame. stop thinking about yourself so much.
Skip Google for Research
As Google has worked to overtake the internet, its search algorithm has not just gotten worse. It has been designed to prioritize advertisers and popular pages often times excluding pages and content that better matches your search terms
As a writer in need of information for my stories, I find this unacceptable. As a proponent of availability of information so the populace can actually educate itself, it is unforgivable.
Below is a concise list of useful research sites compiled by Edward Clark over on Facebook. I was familiar with some, but not all of these.
