You know when you’re really exhausted and really hungry and you’re trying to eat something before going to bed but you’re so tired it’s actually really hard to eat and you just sit there staring at the internet for like 20 minutes without actually processing any of the information you’re looking at and trying to eat your food but everything takes SO MUCH ENERGY so you...

okay, so what this title SOUNDS like it’s saying is that choosing celibacy “queers” heteropatriarchy, including/only? when straight people do it. but, like, that’s obviously not what the book is about, right?
It SORT of is? The central premise seems to be that women, specifically, who are celibate...

I’m reading a book called The Power Of Erotic Celibacy: Queering Heteropatriarchy.

How are you disabled? I’m trying to get on disability for my school as well because I have two chronic illnesses.
I have multiple mental illnesses and endometriosis.
IDK how it works at your school, but what I did was go to my school’s centre for students with disabilities, ask them for the...

Well we ARE brain twins, dude, idk what else you expect.

seriously though i am the shit at writing papers
It’s the one thing I’m good enough at that I feel like I can say “I’m really good at this” without lying.
The lowest grade I’ve ever gotten on a paper was an A-, and that was because it was a week and a half late. The prof threatened to fail me but when I turned in my paper they said that wouldn’t be fair given the quality of the paper.
So I’m...
-paper due on monday
-just now e-mailing the prof for clarification on the paper structure
-so obvious I’m just doing this at the last possible second
-in my defense I’m really fucking good at writing papers, okay, and I’m a fast writer
-not that that’s actually a defense

velocidarling asked: that post like HOLY SHIT i am still dealing with having lost one of my closest friends in the same way you lost yours (except he got way more malicious before the end) ... and since most people don't know? don't care? that he really needs help and needs to be accountable he still pops up on my campus now and then and everyone gets excited and it's just like .___. which leads to a...
What does NOT facilitate the stereotyping of neurodivergent people as being inherently abusive and the stigmatization of our relationships with other people:
People talking about abusive dynamics in fiction in order to facilitate a better understanding of abuse culture within fandom.

Do you remember when we met in Gomorrah? When you were still beardless, and I would oil my hair in the lamp light before seeing you, when we were young, and blushed with youth like bruised fruit. Did we care then what our neighbors did in the dark?

I’m sorry about what happened with your friend. I really appreciated the way you talked about it and how it relates to activism. I think it is important. would it be okay with you if I reblogged?
Oh yeah, go for it.

A while ago
I ended a friendship that meant a lot to me, because the other person has some pretty serious trauma/mental health issues going on.
Without going into, you know, any identifying details: I had stuck by this person though a bunch of shit that was really traumatizing for them, made myself available to them for unconditional support, etc. And we were really close friends and they were there for me...

golden-zephyr:
In a February 12 interview on Canal Plus TV, François Hollande, Socialist Party candidate for president in the upcoming elections, proposed as a “solution” to the presence in France of Roma European Union (EU) citizens “the creation of camps … to accommodate them”.
The association of a “solution” in relation to specific racial groups with special camps can only bring to mind the...

khatdog asked: I LOVE ROOM ESCAPE GAMES!!! I sometimes accidentally think in their logic in real life (can't find your phone? LOOK UNDER THE GARBAGE CAN!). What are other favorites of yours?
personal, family stuff
I really wish there was some kind of support group for adoptive-siblings-of-kids-who-are-going-through-crap-that-brings-up-a-lot-of-shit-for-the-adoptive-siblings, so that I could have a place/way of talking about my current family situation with my brother without feeling like I’m just making it all about me, or feeling shitty for talking about my brother’s issues and needs with...
antidote to the game that made me cry:
Porch Escape 3
So yeah, um, I play room escape games a little obsessively. Now you know.
thebluedream asked: What is Regina the badass mom a reference to?
oh for fuck's sake
Just played this game, am sobbing uncontrollably.
Ways to make me cry: write a sentimental story. Make it about a cat. BOOM, tears. I can’t even help it. It’s just like, pure reflex. Little orphan kitten has no toys to play with? Ahhhhhhhh crying. Kitten grows up, has adventures, grows old, and dies? OH MY GOD I CAN’T STOP BAWLING UGLY TEARS EVERYWHERE.
Like, if the story were...

yes this is clearly a good use of my time.
Continuing with Robot Movie Week
A and I are watching Terminator 2. It is not as subversive as Robocop.
Also, the way the first movie ended makes no goddamn sense.
Also also, where are all those skulls in the opening scene coming from? There are SO MANY SKULLS. Did the robots just start making human skulls from plaster molds and leaving them around in mass quantities to make their territory look that much more ominous?...

Just got around to putting on clothes.
This is what I do when I don’t have a schedule, guys. I just sit around in my underwear drinking coffee and reading Chandra Mohanty until I absolutely HAVE to put clothes on to do something essential, like go get cat litter before the grocery store closes.
I have no idea how to properly manage large amounts of “spare” time*. I never really...

I should make another zine soon.
I mean, I should also write my midterm papers, do an art installation, run a workshop series, and like a million other things.
I’m so ineffectual of late. I just really want to feel like I’ve completed/accomplished something.

cat or dog? it’s an unfortunate, unspoken rule of the world that you can’t get up with a cat on your lap. I’ve been in that situation many times.

when someone reblogs your post about CM Punk… and deletes all the commentary that’s critical of CM Punk.
Yeah, fuck you if you do that. Just saying.

I need to get up to steep the coffee, but if I get up now, it will upset the position of Callalloo, the reigning monarch of our apartment (and my heart) and interrupt her grooming.
