So far you’ve survived everything you thought you wouldn’t
omg i was at starbucks and there was this girl and she had her hair in a bun and had a crop top with flowers on it and i hissed “hipster blog” and she turned around and snarled “fandom blog” and then we shook hands and exchanged urls her tumblr is pretty nice i dont see why there’s a rivalry we’re all wasting our lives on the same goddamn website
Favorite story of the morning
This has to be the fakest thing I’ve ever read
This is true I was the other girl
This is 100% true i was the barista
and i was the janitor sitting in the corner on my 10 minute break playing a fully orchestrated song composed with the different pitches of jars filled with my own piss.
I can 100% confirm this actually happened.
I was the bus
I was the crop top
The Pope: is slightly less evil than most Catholics
Y'all: *make flower crown edits of him*
picture this:
staying up until early morning in your little apartment in Paris with your best friend. draped in silk and velvet with a champagne glasses in hand. spilling your life secrets and dreams. dancing around until you’re too tired and you lounge on the balcony dramatically flipping through vintage fashion magazines. waking up the next morning with no memory of when you finally fell asleep. pulling on a faux fur coat and walking down the twirly stairs, heels clicking all the way to the cafe.
“deux cafés s'il vous plaît”
after the barista hands you the coffees you stroll back to your apartment and hand your friend the coffee + this months vogue.
“bon matin mademoiselle”
As long as you’re supporting women, whether you are a man or a woman or a girl who is into fashion or a girl who is not into fashion, then you’re a feminist. All it ever has to be is supporting women. The idea that there are rules to being a feminist beyond that is hard to take.
if a girl doesnt want hair on her vagina, arms or face shut the fuck up and sit the fuck down. if a girl doesnt mind having hair on her vagina, arms or face shut the fuck up and sit the fuck down. a girl can literally do whatever the fuck she wants and she doesnt need you complaining about something that has no affect on you
I’m Cherokee. I’m a Cherokee girl. I’m a major Piper fan because she’s a Cherokee woman like myself. There’s been some Discourse© about her hair. Sit down, buckle up, because you guys are about to some knowledge dropped on you.
So the issue is about her hair; people keep drawing my girl with undercuts. I don’t think she would have one, and if she did there’s only one good reason.
Stop writing men as if modern Western toxic masculinity were the default throughout time and space.
Your medieval knights can share a pallet at night because it’s cold in this castle and they’re demonstrating their respect and affection for each other by sharing physical proximity.
In the far future, your dude can be a scientist adventurer robot captain, but he can also make food for people to demonstrate his affection and dance to show off his happiness.
Many cultures alive today expect the average man to be good with children, to be able to diaper a baby, to know how to assist in childbirth. Your men don’t have to go, “Oh god, an infant, I’ve never touched one of those before.”
Before modern Europe, there was nothing unmanly about loving colour, fashion, art, and decoration. Flowers weren’t always emasculating. Emotions weren’t always considered signs of weakness. Men got to want and have warm, close, affectionate friendships with other men.
In many ways, Western toxic masculinity of the last few centuries has been the exception, not the rule.
In France, England and German, showing care and affection between males wasn’t seen as weird either.
Just say it: Puritans. It all goes back to the Puritans that settled in America. That’s where it came from. A group of religious extremists.
Don’t make shit up to feel special. We all know where it actually came from.
Thank you for being the first person telling me I need to blame shit on Calvinism more often. :3
Calvinism is a terrible economic philosophy but I’m unsure how this is connected to the Puritans??
The Puritans were Calvinists. Or, Calvinism is a big group within Protestantism, and the Puritans were one smaller subset of them who wielded significant political power in England and English colonies. It’s true to blame this stuff on Puritans when dealing with a pure English descent of theology, but I live in an area just as affected by other groups–Scottish Presbyterians, Anabaptists, Dutch Reform, etc–and they’re not strictly descended from the Puritans, but Calvinism more generally.
Anyway, it’s a running joke on my blog that whenever I get asked, like, “Why are white people fucked up like this???” (I did my Master’s in psychology with a lot of Asian international students who actually liked me explaining stuff like this, it was bliss) my answer always somehow seems to end up with, “Because Calvinism.”
EVERYTHING IS CALVIN’S FAULT.
Tip #3: Take time to smell the flowers. It’s true that all good things must come to an end, and August is no exception. They don’t call it “fall” for nothing.
