Your work with said coffee company and tuberculosis is one of the reasons I care so much about reducing healthcare barriers and am becoming a physician! Can’t think of a better reason to abandon YA novels
Imagining trying to explain to my 12-year-old self that John Green is your favorite non-fiction author and Hank Green is your favorite fiction author
If I get stressed during my exam today, I will simply to the wenis and be reminded that I am a genius that knows it in advance
one thing no one ever teaches you is that you can just make things nicer and more intentional- you can take your energy drink, pour it in a rocks glass over ice with a slice of lime on the rim, and sip it slow. and you'll think, "wow i am the biggest faggot to have ever lived". and you know what? you're right.
Straight British Kristen Applebees is my new favorite character. I am in love with her. Unfortunately for me, she is straight.
I started crying about here and then continued for the rest of the movie
“It is literally impossible to be a woman. You’re so beautiful and so smart. And it kills me you don’t think you’re good enough. Like we have to always be extraordinary. But somehow we’re always doing it wrong. You have to be thin, but not too thin, and you can never say you want to be thin. You have to say you want to be healthy, but also you have to be thin! You have to have money, but you can’t ask for money, because that’s crass. You have to be a boss, but you can’t be mean. You have to lead, but you can’t squash other people’s ideas. You’re supposed to love being a mother, but don’t talk about you kids all the damn time. You have to be a career woman but also always be looking out for other people. You have to answer for men’s bad behavior which is insane but if you point that out you’re accused of complaining. You’re supposed to stay pretty for men but not so pretty that you tempt them too much or that you threaten other women because you’re supposed to be a part of the sisterhood but always stand out and always be grateful. But never forget that the system is rigged so find a way to acknowledge that but also always be grateful. You have to never get old. Never be rude. And never show off. Never be selfish, never fall down, never fail, never show fear, never get out of line. It’s too hard! It’s too contradictory! And nobody gives you a medal or says thank you! And it turns out in fact that not only are you doing everything wrong but also everything is your fault! I’m just so tired of watching myself and every single other woman tie ourselves into knots so that people will like us.” -Gloria (America Ferrera, BARBIE)
Trying to explain to my mom how and why I relate to this little hissing goblin man was an insane feat of strength and will. She understands nothing about dnd and knows nothing about fantasy high. I really gave her no context. She understood nothing but she tried and that’s worth something
One week to Never Stop Blowing Up!
I knew I was nerdy.
I didn’t know I’m “play dnd for 5 hours and then get into a conversation about Brandon Sanderson where I, with complete sincerity, say the words, ‘my favorite punctuation mark is an em dash, closely followed by a semicolon’ and then my friends get mad about that opinion” nerdy
I really love that they just started at the end of the Night Yorb thing. Ignoring it completely or making the whole season about it would feel cheap; this was perfect. With all the new NPCs and the level up, it really felt like an actual adventure. Having some of the NPCs die was a great way to create stakes without making something as devastating as Crown of Candy. Really adds to the feel of “you’ll always be this tired forever.” So excited for the next episode!
Green Day releasing an album like "FOR THE LAST FUCKING TIME! WE HATE AMERICA AND WE ARE BISEXUAL!"
The way that Abby’s dad would have done the same thing. What parent wouldn’t do anything to save their child?
