5 Things...
mascarah: fatmanatee:adeandabet: 5 Things found in my bag: dental floss, iPod, L’Occitane hand cream, the charger for my phone, and my speed-like allergy pills that induce hot flashes and heart-palpitations 5 Favorite Things in my room: my computer (even though she looks haggard after 7 long years), my yoga mat (because it’s always by the door as a constant reminder), photos from...

“You’re right, I should have cried. But I’m pretty sure she knew how...”
– Sammy, on just missing out of Free Cone Day at Ben & Jerry’s
eec: i almost just complimented this tanorexic girl in the bathroom on her kick ass rusty brown slouchy leather boots, but then i looked up and saw her skin was the exact same color and texture of said boots and i held my tongue because i was too shocked to speak The problem with about 95% of people who tan is that they’re never satisfied with how dark they are compared to the general...
Interview with Madonna about her Africa movie
jakoblodwick: New York Magazine: In the movie, you look at one ritual in which a young woman is told she must have sex with a man three times in a day, in order to “cleanse” her. Madonna: It’s not my place to judge that tradition. Since Madonna has chosen to abstain from judgment, allow me the pleasure. It is wrong to rape someone, no matter how long it’s been part of your cultural tradition....
who do you dress for?
sarazucker: after reading the discussion of dressing, i sincerely had to sit down and wonder who it was that i was dressing for; was i dressing for myself? or, was i dressing for others? when i clothe myself in the morning, or choose an outfit the night before to wear the next day, am i in fact putting these pieces together to please myself or to attract attention (wanted/unwanted)? sometimes,...

crisis averted.
I stared at the wads of small bills in her hands and blurted out “Are you a server?”. She looked startled but nodded. “My next guess was going to be a stripper” I said, cringing as the words came out of my mouth. I braced myself, but she looked up at me and laughed.

The Smoker - by David Schickler →
dontshushme: rach: I read this story in an anthology this a.m. and I can’t get it out of my head. Totally random recommendation, but if you have a few moments to spare, it’s greater than great.Just got around to reading this. Verrrry interesting… I’ll see your interesting and raise it to riveting.
The seagulls are back. I noticed it a couple of days ago but a girl at work reminded me. She asked me if they migrated but I didn’t have a concrete answer. “I think they do”, I said. I should know, because I did a project on them in the fourth grade, but the answer escapes me now.
Iris: So does it bother you that E tans?
Nico: Well yeah but it bothers me in the same way that I would be bothered if E had a drug problem, we're not going to stop being friends or anything over it.

feminist rant of the day!
jessicagoldharalson: One thing I come across a lot in feminist circles in regards to the ridiculous controversy surrounding the Open Source Boob Project is the Choice Feminsist Defense. As in, “But she had the freedom to make her choice! So that means, no matter what the woman decides, it’s not sexist at all! How could you demean her decision is she made that decision freely? If a woman makes...
Too damn happy
thillythenny: I’m not an optimist. On a really really really good day, I’m a realist. It’s frustrating that people around me are just so happy all the damn time. Okay, there are ups and downs, and right now, I’m pretty even keeled. But my humour, irrespective of mood, is dry, sarcastic, cutting or whatever you want to call it. So please go on being happy. I might have to step outside to puke...

– Margaret Atwood // A Handmaid’s Tale (via stellery) (via k8e) This book started my love affair with Margaret Atwood. The Robber Bride is still my favourite, but this one is a close second.

favorite word of the day
brooklet14: schadenfreude: (German) to delight in the misfortune of others I can’t remember who it was or in what context but I remember someone used this word in a tumblr post last week and it completely stuck in my brain. My father grew up in Germany and when he speaks he switches between German and English, so for that reason alone I am a little biased toward this word in particular. I am a...
I used to be jealous that we’d obviously never have the same relationship dynamic, but I stopped caring a couple weeks ago - just thought you should know.
omitting the truth
feistyred: in my opinion is lying. I suppose if you insist on seeing the world in black and white, then it is. I’m quite fond of the colour gray.
I really want this seersucker blazer from Club Monaco but it just doesn’t feel right buying such a summery item in the midst of a springtime blizzard…
“Were you sunning in Capri or sinning in Croatia?”
– Gossip Girl (only funny because it reminds me of this girl I know who lost her virginity on a trip to Croatia)
