I'm giving myself this day to mope, to sleep, to...
Tomorrow, I get up, and I continue.
I can’t fight against the feelings all the time. I have to lie down, be in my underwear, ignore my texts, and feel like the world sucks.
Tomorrow, I’ll find my fight again. I’ll make myself into a role model again. I’ll make it better.
But now? I let myself have this day. In bed.

neil-gaiman:
She’s in the last seven hours of her Kickstarter. She’s got a warchest to make and promote her CD, to film videos, to go on tour, to print her art book. And just importantly, she’s changed things: her phone is ringing off the hook with calls from The Economist, Spin, The Wall Street Journal,…
That’s right! It’s a good day for art.
depression isn't something i can just "get over"
but it is something I can wait out, and do my best to take care of myself.
it’s imperfect, and i wish i didn’t have to deal with this.
but i’m learning to manage.
my mood disorder is real.
and it sucks.
it more than just “sucks.”
it leaves me existentially empty. disconnected. reeling into a world of meaninglessness.
and i have to remind myself it will...
i just can't anymore.
everyone in my life is going to hear “no” a lot more often.

I kinda think Justin Bieber looks like a lesbian.

skrinkles3 asked: I love your blog! I was wondering how you deal with guilt after eating something or fear of eating something- thats what gets to me the most. Also, this may be a unique (or unanswerable) question but how did you as another activist become an activist for yourself and create your own happiness?

What if when they were babies, Tegan and Sara’s mom accidentally called Sara the name Tegan and she continued doing it for years afterwards and Sara is actually Tegan and Tegan is actually Sara?
I’m beginning to think that the T&S fandom has a little too much time on their hands…(as I look up which Revel & Riot t-shirt I’m going...

WatchClip from the Rachel Maddow show about anti-abortion terrorism in Atlanta. This is happening my city. Anti-abortion extremists are making the city unsafe, and it’s happening right now. Legislation is shifting, taking rights away. We need to know what’s happening, and we need to do something. This is MY city. Soon, I’m going to be volunteer at the Feminist Center. Which has the...

My body is fucking perfect.
I’ve decided that I don’t buy into this whole business of:
We are all supposed to be our own worst critics and hate everything about ourselves and what we do, in order to be valid/real/human/kind/talented/etc.
It’s revolutionary to like who you are. You can still work hard, improve stuff, be great at something, and move people.
Liking yourself does NOT mean you will become a...

I just spent the last ten minutes looking at...
I’m thinking three things.
1. Whoa fitness.
2. Whoa hardworking.
3. Whoa talented.
Not to mention she’s beyond attractive. (I secretly wish she was gay, EVEN THOUGH SHE’S NOT AND THAT’S TOTALLY COOL)
BUT
I can’t tell if that was a good thing I just did and I am inspired as a human to become my best self, or if it was stupid and I feel unworthy and less than...

Florence + the Machine - Cosmic Love (Reversed)
Today:
Had to call out of work due to being sick all morning and much of the afternoon.
Felt depressed and emotional and ill for quite a bit.
Cried. A lot.
Considered staying in bed all day, allowing myself to become one with the quilt pattern and feel all the painful feelz all day long.
But I didn’t.
Got up, took bath.
Went outside.
Got my new barbell for my septum.
Went grocery...

I was offered money to sleep with a white woman’s friend.

I believe this. I know that this kind of objectification and harassment exists because I’ve...

I approve of this analogy. Even if it doesn’t mention all axes of oppression the analogy definitely works. Definitely.

I actually like Jenny Schecter.
Yes, towards the end of the series, she became so manic and narcissistic that she spun off into another dimension and became obnoxious. To me, it seemed like a mental health problem left untreated rather than her just being a terrible human being. She was suffering and the momentum of her life took her down.
But for the majority of the series, she was incredible. There rarely are authentic,...
