Look at this lady! Isn’t this the definition of a beautiful face? So happy, so cute. And we’re evenly matched for brains, she’s funnier than I am, and she (for whatever reason) enjoys spending most of her time with me :D

“Be of service. You are taking your degree into a society dominated by concentrated poverty and a vulnerable middle class, a society where it is harder to pay for education, harder to find a job, harder to buy a house and harder to hold onto those things even if you manage to get them. You are entering adulthood during a period of mass incarceration and near constant war. There is a lot for you to do. Service is the rent you pay for the space you take up on the earth, and as a relatively privileged American you take up a lot of space. We are the most consuming, polluting, wasteful nation on earth. So your rent is steep. Pay it with service.”

- Dr. Melissa Harris-Perry’s advice to Class of 2013 (via bitchwhoisyou)

——

I’d appreciate a heads up before a complete stranger enveloped me in an embrace, but I typically don’t mind. These situations usually play out something like this:

(In public; lock eyes with random person. Random person does not look away.)
Me: (in my head) they know.
person: (stares)
Me: (paranoid) do they know? or do I just have something weird on my face?
person: (keeps staring)
me: omg they know everything about me I bet they’re from PETA they’re going to throw pigs blood on me and wish a plague upon my house
person: (pause) … ARE YOU EMILY FROM THE BRAIN SCOOP?!
me: ohthankgod. Yes. Hello. I’m Emily.
Hugs, chats, signing of paper product/arms/clothing commences, pictures are taken, my heart swells with joy and appreciation, and we go on our merry ways.

“Creating a life that reflects your values and satisfies your soul is a rare achievement. In a culture that relentlessly promotes avarice and excess as the good life, a person happy doing his own work is usually considered an eccentric, if not a subversive. Ambition is only understood if it’s to rise to the top of some imaginary ladder of success. Someone who takes an undemanding job because it affords him the time to pursue other interests and activities is considered a flake. A person who abandons a career in order to stay home and raise children is considered not to be living up to his potential-as if a job title and salary are the sole measure of human worth. You’ll be told in a hundred ways, some subtle and some not, to keep climbing, and never be satisfied with where you are, who you are, and what you’re doing. There are a million ways to sell yourself out, and I guarantee you’ll hear about them.”

- Bill Watterson (via mikekarnell)

confusedtree:

Lady Gaga, Dan Savage, the Human Rights Campaign and the rest of those hug brigade assholes are all intensely focused on creating a really hurtful narrative wherein you can be accepted, you can have your rights, you can be entitled to basic human decency if you show the right type of queerness, if you want to get married, if you can say “We’re just like you! See” that leaves behind queer people, trans people, people of colour, people who don’t fit that narrative in the dust. Time and time again these self-proclaimed activists actually go out of their way to exclude those people. It’s not slipping their mind. They literally don’t want them. Because the world just isn’t ready for that alleged ugliness, according to them. “Wait, wait for a bit, then we’ll see about the rest”

Your body and your sexuality and your gender and your priorities must meet a minimum level of permissibility and shitheads like Lady Gaga sign off on all of it and everyone gives her a pass because “well at least she’s doing something which is more than we can say about you!”

Are we special or just weird?: Earlier today this one girl was talking about how racism only happens...:

confusedtree:

Earlier today this one girl was talking about how racism only happens if you’re too sensitive and that words are just words and that rather than being offended by how dismissive of the experiences of people who deal with racism she was being, you should just be like her and not let it affect you. Then she announced that she was going to smoke a bowl and watch this week’s Game of Thrones and not care about any of this

Having just started A Feast For Crows earlier last week I went ahead and spoiled the next two seasons of Game of Thrones for her but don’t worry! It’s okay, words only have the meaning you give them so she can just conveniently forget who any of the characters are forever and it’ll be fine
