i eat a lot of bread because it’s soft and i deserve it. also i am gorgeous

Gosh, it was just so amazingly refreshing to hear a guy tell me that he “is secure in his femininity” unprompted and then later, in a heart-to-heart convo, to tell him I’m bigender and to hear him tell me that he is, toooo is so aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa amaaaaazing!!!!

Ugh, I’m trying my hardest not to start falling for this guy I’ve started hanging out with. Like, he’s really sweet, but I know he has to get over his ex-fiance before he even thinks about getting into a new relationship

Oh geez, I haven’t even known him a solid week and I already have a nickname for him. We’ve told each other that we like each other, but we’ve also talked about how neither of us are quite ready to be in a relationship yet and how we both need to get over our exes before anything else happens. We both kinda messed up our last relationships by going too fast, so there’s no way we’re going to make that mistake again!

Ohmigosh he’s bi/bi just like meeeeeeee aaaaaaaaaa I’ve never met someone who’s just like me like that!!!! I’m so glad I was so open and honest with him :>

I’m always of two minds about wacky cat videos, because

a. putting animals in potentially dangerous situations for cheap laughs is definitively Not Cool, but

b. knowing cats, there’s at least a 50% chance they got themselves into that predicament all on their own, and did so in a way that no reasonable precaution could have prevented.

i left my three-legged, one-eyed cat alone in my kitchen for two minutes

This was a Mistake

In that span of time, he’d pried the lid off the flour bucket, spread it throughout the room, got into the pantry, and was happily chewing on my marshmallow stash.

Can parents stop acting like providing a child’s basic needs is something to be earned? So many kids grow up traumatised because they were made to feel guilty about the existence they never asked for

that whole “I give you food and a comfortable home, and this is how you treat me?” thing really ticks me off.

You knew what you were getting into when you had a child, don’t act as though providing for the being you are responsible for is a luxury, it’s necessary for survival.

I did my master’s thesis on emergency contraception and I used gender-neutral language throughout. Most people didn’t notice. My supervisor occasionally asked me to use the word “women” instead of the word “people” but didn’t care enough to follow up when I ignored him. None of the people who reviewed and marked my thesis made any comment on the language I chose to use.

Using gender-neutral language was easy and I suffered no consequences for doing so as an academic, even when writing a detailed thesis on human reproductive biology.
