Today, we went to Autozone (which sounds VERY exciting, if you sing it like the commercial jingle), and my love bought me windshield wipers. That’s a good way to say “I love you. Please don’t die.” to someone.

this morning, i woke up feeling weird and angry. i don’t know why—i’m going to blame it on my brain. frustration boiled over from years of being stuck, and eventually giving in. there’s an issue with being the one who was dumped—it’s that they lost respect for you somewhere, and that’s fucking…
I love this piece- especially the wrap. Go! Read! Gogogogogo!

Every woman is a real woman.
Now shut the fuck up.
This is why I follow Jack’s tumblr. Because he gets it. Now, if you’ll excuse me, Imma go rub my stretch marked breasts on my fiance’s face.

Oh Tumblr, I have neglected you, and I am not sorry.
I am not sorry, because I have been doing things and the things I have been doing are holding my interest. I am leaving my phone in my pocket. I am ignoring my notebooks, and my netbook, and my camera. I am paying attention to the world, and I am engaging and engaged.
Which is true on both the obvious level, and also on the planning to marry my partner level.
I do miss you, I miss the flashing of beautiful, silly, interesting images. I miss your political awareness. I miss your fashion sense. I miss your feminism. I miss your sex.
But Winter is very hard for me, and rather than give in, this year I am trying to fight. Fighting means not hiding away and reaching out to strangers. Fighting means connecting with people I know, and connecting with myself.

So you know what you do? You fight. You fight your heart and lungs out until you can’t breathe for talking. You fight when you feel safe and when you can and call men out on this bullshit whenever you see it and I know you would see it a lot because I see it a lot, too. It may seem like something tiny in comparison to what we’re trying to stop but it changes the world. Because if what you’ve said to a male co-worker, an acquaintance, that random guy who is Todor’s best friend’s cousin makes them change their thinking, then you’ve changed the world. If what you’ve said makes one man - just one - realise that his catcalls are not compliments, his sexual assault not affection, his rape not just ‘rough sex’ then you’ve changed the world, Kirra O’Malley.
Don’t you feel pretty damn powerful now?

I’m reblogging myself and I reblogged Kirra who is quoting me. My ego knows no bounds. BUT THIS IS IMPORTANT. (via redlipstick-lover)
After some of the bullshit I’ve put up with lately after calling people out… I really needed to hear this, even though my name isn’t Katie.

I am lonely, yet not everybody will do. I don’t know why, some people fill the gaps and others emphasize my loneliness.

I was there to take down the names of people who were arrested… As I’m standing there, some African-American woman goes up to a police officer and says, ‘I need to get in. My daughter’s there. I want to know if she’s OK.’ And he said, ‘Move on, lady.’ And they kept pushing with their sticks, pushing back. And she was crying. And all of a sudden, out of nowhere, he throws her to the ground and starts hitting her in the head,” says Smith. “I walk over, and I say, ‘Look, cuff her if she’s done something, but you don’t need to do that.’ And he said, ‘Lady, do you want to get arrested?’ And I said, ‘Do you see my hat? I’m here as a legal observer.’ He said, ‘You want to get arrested?’ And he pushed me up against the wall.
