The Difference Between Being Nice and Being Kind →
igabel:
This makes me really really worried about myself, because for the longest time I was very much the sort of person who bent over backwards to be nice. I am getting better at that, and I like to think there is a kind person underneath (and that there has been all along) but it’s just scary to think about. Harrumph.
basically why i don’t entirely trust people who are overly nice

you could respond to a female’s complaint of sexism with the brilliant notion that in fact MEN are the ones who experience sexism because, “hey, when was the last time a girl bought ME a drink?!”
i had acupuncture today and it felt like there were balls of energy surrounding my hands and i pretended to be punching people i hate in the face with my super paws

11 Things You Can Do TODAY →
The sexualization of girls in our culture is kind of like a hydra: you get rid of one awful image, product, or advertisement, and six new ones appear in its place. Sometimes it can feel like nothing you do makes a difference—media makers have so much money and power, and maybe you just have an hour between finishing your homework and going to bed. Maybe you don’t even have that much time! But...

anxiety olympics
50 meter heartbeat dash that never really ends
diving into a pool of insecurities (that you cried yourself)
weight lifting your regrets
soccer with ten trillion balls made of “whys” and “what ifs” (every time you spend more than ten minutes fixating, it’s a goal)
the olympic torch of failure (so bright and obvious)
in the anxiety olympics, seeing who can stay...
Oy! You lot!

Scroll past if you don’t want to hear heaps of whining about my dumb feelings.
What do you strong, independent young Reed ladies (and other ladies, if you’re following) do when it’s the middle of the night and you’re having a crying fit/anxiety attack springing from immense amounts of schoolwork, worries about Important Life Things, and missing someone terribly?

so in the category of situations which are REALLY, REALLY REALLY uncomfortable:
cooking in the kitchen with your friend and her abusive boyfriend and he puts on “you really got a hold on me” and he says, “BABE, IT’S YOUR SONG!”
i’m really thankful that my skin has finally cleared up and that my mom is my mom because she is the best mom who has ever mommed ever. and i’m thankful that a school like reed exists and thought i was cool enough to be here.
also, let’s not kid around, i’m grateful for my awesome booty despite all the trouble it’s given me.

how not to make coconut whipped cream
don’t buy low fat coconut milk from trader joe’s
