anedumacation:
Heterosexual Life Partner (also known as Zan) made me feel a heck of a lot better about some of the issues I was having yesterday.
I was freaking the fuck out about my inability to handle responsibility, about how flaky I’ve been about everything lately, how I don’t think I’ll ever be able to handle a real job or finish my degree or be an adult, how I’m not suited to do anything...
Went to bed angry and woke up feeling upset on a level I haven’t felt in at least a year. Today is a write-off; I am in an extended meltdown. Please send hugs and kittens.

I understand the compulsion to label your sexuality as some variety of queer when it doesn’t quite fit into the standard image of what straight female sexuality looks like, but that doesn’t make you queer.
It just means that we suffer from a lack of imagination when it comes time to understand what female sexuality really is. That...

Am I allowed to use this word to describe myself?
iamateenagefeminist:
1. Has this word been used against a specific group of people in the past or is it being used against a specific group of people in the present?
If no then you are allowed to use that word to describe yourself.
If yes then move onto question two
2. Are you a part of the group the word has been used against?
If yes then you are allowed to use that word to describe...

lau-ra-sau-rus:
my personal favourite is midsummer night’s dream. purely for deep sentimental reasons. second is romeo and juliet, because it was one of the first i really had to study and i’m also a big fucking sap.
Twelfth Night, because I enjoy the combination of letters in “twelfth” and plays about crossdressing hijinks and associated gay panic.

1. Why the fuck wasn’t the NAMESAKE CHARACTER of the play not shown? The play is about a black man, right? Of all the goddamn scenes that could have been chosen, y’all pick the one closest to Birth of a Nation tribute DURING BLACK HISTORY MONTH? Miss me with that shit.
2. To all the folks talmbout how “if this is racist, then the whole play must have been racist!!...
'Hot for Teacher' Essay Lands Student in Trouble →
karnythia:
So FERPA prevents the school from going into too much detail without the student’s permission, but the school’s response makes me think that his work went from sexual undertones to explicit & probably leaned into rape imagery given the security escort. He’s 56 years old, I have an incredibly hard time believing he didn’t know exactly what he was doing & that it was wrong as...

My chapstick is reproducing?
lau-ra-sau-rus:
I just found a mystery second Burt’s Bees chapstick in my bag.
THIS IS A MIRACLE.
Burts Bees costs $7 a tube here. Seven dollars for a tube of chapstick. Australia, you must be joking. My mom can mail me a new tube for less than that.

Seriously though, that test was way too easy
sonic-hip-attack:
It made up for the complete bullshit pop quiz our Assessment professor laid on us this morning.
I’m making enemies about the Rorschach in that class. I questioned today whether it’s really ethically okay to violate confidentiality (as in, duty to warn/suicide risk) based on the multi-layered interpretations of Rorschach variables.
Because to me, the Rorschach lacks validity...

Below is a Science fair project presented by a girl in a secondary school in Sussex. In it she took filtered water and divided it into two parts.
The first part she heated to boiling in a pan on the stove, and the second part she heated to boiling in a microwave.

How to propogate a racist theory about...
allies-person:
1. Call your speculation a “theory” even though it does not meet the scientific standards for being considered a true theory.
2. Couch your speculation in lots of detailed information about homo sapiens and Neanderthals that hardly anyone knows well enough to counter.
3. Disguise the fact that many of the “facts” you are relying on are hotly contested by specialists in this area...

I don't know what I am feeling right now
I basically just got fired from my temp job.
I’ve been there since October, and it was meant to be a 6 week thing that has stretched out for months. I’ve gotten two stellar reviews—I was working at 180% productivity in December and January, on average—and had been told I could stay as long as I wanted. We had a team meeting this morning and not a word was said. My...

What Stephon Watts' murder tells us

MAJOR TRIGGER WARNING FOR RACISM, ABLEISM: Murder of Black autistic teenager
There is a lot that Stephon Watts’ murder tells us about how young, autistic men of color are (not) valued by the people who are supposed to be protecting us. But this point probably won’t be emphasized nearly enough in most discussions.
There is no good reason why parents are encouraged by supposed...

She looks older. Is she a big baby or an older kitty?
The shelter said her birthday was mid-October, and I’m not sure if they’re right. That’d make her 16 weeks old, but I think she’s younger than that—12 tops. Prosper was about 16 weeks when we got him and he was much older....
