Reasons Why I Love: Aquarius

In honour of my late best friend. You always put up with my love (obsession) with astrology.

Though not a sign associated with duality, I do feel that there are two sides of an Aquarius to be explored. Which creates an all the more interesting experience when getting to know one. You have the first face, the analyst. They’re so brilliantly intelligent. I’ve never met an Aquarius that doesn’t think in a way that can blow your mind, I always wanted to know what their daily thoughts were; as I’m sure they were nothing short of amazing. The intelligence does, however, come with stubbornness. They don’t like to admit that they’re wrong, and rarely apologise for being wrong. They can get flustered easily, which is quite funny to watch (in a cute way). It doesn’t even have to be about anything specific. Though, most of the time it’s if they’re being teased over a potential love interest. One of my favourite things about an Aquarius is how they’re never afraid to say what’s on their minds, even if it might not sit well with others. That kind of self-assurance is rather inspiring. Aquarians are funny, not in a goofy, slapstick way, but in the sense that they can make witty remarks with only a second of thought. An Aquarian’s second face isn’t shown a lot, but take time to appreciate it if you manage to see it. They’re insanely loyal, and expect the absolute same. They can become hurt if not given this, but will not vocalise their feelings to you, they don’t tend to like to talk about their feelings. But I always got the sense that despite them masking this, they have some of the strongest emotions going. They love with a great capacity. They might not show it, but it does not mean that it isn’t there. They can be quite particular about who and how they show this affection to. I find that Aquarius has a gentle nature, and rarely gets properly angry with others, but can become very snide. The sharpness I mentioned before doesn’t just come into play in terms of humour, it can also appear when they’re irritated. If you’re not on the receiving end, however, it can be very funny to watch.

I went off tumblr for a month and now I come back and it’s all clean stuff. This ain’t cool.

Apple: Literally design their phones to become an expensive toxic brick within a few years

Gas Companies: Actively work to prevent anything being done to develop, promote or in any way make green energy sources widely known of available or affordable to anyone because slowly murdering the planet makes them millions of dollars

Big Companies: Literally dump toxic crap where it will cause serious harm to the earth and the species on it

Governments: Clearly what we need to do to save the earth is make people pay money to use carrier bags so they can actually carry their shopping home

AND BAN DRINKING STRAWS

This, my friends, is called Individualization of Responsibility, aka holding the citizens accountable for the destruction caused by corporations :/

I don't know why I've never seen a post like this before but...

You have to ask boys and nonbinary people for consent too. Even if you just had sex with them five minutes ago, you need their consent before doing anything.

I’ve been told so many times that you need consent from girls, but I’ve never seen it for any other gender???

In case no one told you growing up

  • Bras last longer if you let them air dry. Don’t put them in the dryer.
  • If you have a problem with frizzy hair, don’t dry your hair with a towel. It makes the frizzies worse. (I recently read an article that said to use a t-shirt? I brush mine out and let it air dry.)
  • Whites wash best in hot water. Everything else can be in cold - save on your electricity bill.
  • You can kill 99.9% of germs in a sponge by putting it in the dishwasher for a cycle or by microwaving it for 2 min (be sure to make the sponge damp before microwaving and to put a cup half full of water in with it and please DO NOT squeeze the sponge until it has cooled off)
  • Airing out your room/house and letting sunlight in every so often can decrease the number of household pests like silverfish and ants.
  • Black underwear is best during your period as stains are less likely to be visible.
  • To save money, put aside 10% of each paycheck into a savings account. It’ll add up.
  • Unless your hair has something on/in it (like grease or mud or something), using conditioner first can actually be the better choice. The conditioner holds in the good oils that help you hair look sleek and beautiful, which shampoo would otherwise wash away.
  • Speaking of shampoo - if you have long hair, washing just the bits that touch your scalp is generally enough. The rest of your hair gets cleaned with just the run off from your scalp.
  • If you put a tampon in and it’s uncomfortable/you can feel it, you didn’t do it quite right. A properly placed tampon is virtually unnoticeable by the wearer.
  • Apply deodorant/antiperspirant a couple hours in advance of when you need it. This gives the product the chance to block your sweat glands. Using deodorant just before going somewhere where you’ll sweat (this means walking outside for people in high humidity places) results in your sweat washing the deodorant off and starkly limiting its usefulness.
  • After running the dryer, use the dryer sheet from that load to brush out the lint catch - it gets everything off in a fraction of the time it’ll take you to get it clean with your bare hands. Paper towels also work well.
  • Wash your face everyday, or as often as possible. Forget which brand of cleanser is best. Just washing your face everyday will guarantee you clearer skin. And do you best not to pop pimples, as tempting as the urge may be.
  • Fold laundry asap after taking it from the dryer to avoid wrinkles. This may seem obvious for dress shirts and silly for things like t-shirts, but you’ll notice the difference even then once your shirts stop looking like unfolded paper balls.

To all the kids whose parents couldn’t help you with this kind of stuff

Addition: the natural acidity of a vagina can bleach the gusset on darker underwear. It’s perfectly normal.

i did not know some of this stuff, so useful!

The best thing you can do to keep your skin clear (aside from washing) is to frequently change your pillowcase. Throw on a fresh one every day if you want. Get nice cotton pillowcases at Ross.
