the greatest skill a woman can learn for herself is self reliance
to clarify … so many strong women in my life rely on men. that dependence is dangerous. ladies here are some good ref resources I’ve found helpful on my journey towards self reliance
automobile
plumbing
electrical
home
this list is in no way comprehensive feel free to add on
everyone’s like “I’m bi but I’m not greedy” and I’m just sitting here like… excuse me… I’m bi and I’m greedy, I’m very greedy, I’m the greediest, I want all the boys AND all the girls AND all the non-binary people ALL at the same time
and here i am being bi and greedy for macaroni cheese
you know what that’s a wonderful idea. let’s have all the boys AND all the girls AND all the non-binary people over ALL at the same time for a nice plate of mac and cheese and late night movies. you’re all invited, sorry I made the rules
reblog if you’re a greedy bi, a greedy bi supporter, or if you really love mac & cheese
all of the above
@ppl who get embarrassed bc they responded “you too” to a server who told them to enjoy their meal: if your first instinct is to be polite & friendly even when you’re not necessarily paying attention you have nothing to b embarrassed about
me as a hotel receptionist: *greets guests by playing hotel california but cutting it off right before they say california*
Probably the saddest sign of our times is how many people respond with complete bewilderment if you mention direct action. Cutting border fences? punching nazis? sharing resources? blocking arms transports? building alternatives? They’re not even outraged, they’re just confused.
It’s like they’re so caught up in the spectacle of petitions, calling senators, ‘awareness’ and media visbility that they’ve completely forgotten that you can also just do shit without begging for permission.
my dad got really cocky and brought home a 24-strong bunch of bananas 2 days ago and…..no one has eaten a single banana yet. he can’t go 15 minutes without saying “haha well, don’t forget to eat a banana” and it’s become a running joke & so obviously it’s very amusing for me to say “no. you have to face your consequences” and then we both laugh like it’s funny but there’s this panicked, high-strung edge to his laughter and i really just want to see how it all plays out when he finally snaps
ok but I literally cannot emphasize the fact enough that you will be put through the same lessons over and over again until you learn them!!!! be conscious, recognize patterns!!! you won’t grow and things won’t change until you make the effort to do so
It’s 2018 and I still have no clue how CDs work. It’s a shiny disc, how do they get data on that, let alone that much?? Magic
Soulmates are not your ~other half~, that’s just nonsense. You are a whole person already, not half a person. A soulmate isn’t even inherently romantic. A soulmate is just the other sock in a matched set. You’re still a whole, complete sock on your own, you are perfectly functional paired with any other sock, it’s just that it’s even better when you match. A soulmate is literally just the person (or people) who makes your soul go “!!! Same hat!!!” and wave excitedly.
Some ppl say comedy is dead cause of “political correctness” but like john mulaney did an entire bit on captchas and bo burnham did an entire bit on not being able to fit ur hand inside a pringles can so really anything is possible as long as ur actually funny
also while i’m discussing pride month i don’t wanna see any of those fuck ass calendars that have the month divided into a different orientation per day ok every day in June is for every LGBT person
*takes off my leather jacket to reveal a second, secret leather jacket underneath*
you mean, skin?
What an absolutely terrifying addition to my post. Thank you.
As an educator, I hate the bell curve system, but I really hate teachers who say, “You won’t get an A in my class.” It’s not just because it causes students to begin the semester with a feeling that they will fail the course: it’s because it is the teacher admitting to their own failure to teach.
We are literally paid to teach a full curriculum. “I don’t give out A’s” to me translates to “I cannot 100% do my job.” There is no reason a good teacher can’t give you an 80-100% understanding of what is in the course. It’s our job to make sure you understand as much as we can.
A class average of 50 is isn’t a statement of how hard the material is. It’s a statement that the teacher cannot complete 50% of their job.
My grandfather was a professor and he always felt this way. He had colleagues who were very proud of their failing statistics and he always said that if students were failing, the teacher was failing. Your job is to teach them to understand the subject matter.
As a teacher, I feel this in my bones
Today I, a grown-ass woman, started crying in a Petco because they had a cat whose birthday is today and the sign said she just wants a birthday party
trust that the loving energy you fuse into the universe will come back to you, maybe not in the time frame or ways you are expecting, but it will find you and warm you, this exchange is eternal
Therapists are just…. Common sense filters
Me: yeah so I just don’t have the energy to get up and make myself a sandwich or wait for something to cook so I just. Don’t
Her: why don’t you just eat the sandwich components without putting them together
Me:
Her: you can just eat a handful of cheese and some sandwich meat. You don’t have to make a sandwich.
Me:
Me: what
