this website rlly informed me about rape culture and sexuality and just like made me more knowledgeable abt stuff in general however it’s also a very dark environment sometimes because it facilitates self loathing and romanticizes depression and other mental disorders

so thanks but also fuck you

#in other very exciting news I got a haircut and it looks awful #and I was wondering if anyone has any advice for making it look not so bad? #basically my bangs are all gone and yet somehow crooked and I look a bit like a Marine #which is a good look for some people I'm sure but not really for me #please advise #personal nonsense

i remember when i started watching supernatural i was more concerned about being scared than being emotionally scarred

#about me #although actually I exaggerated my worry so that I could flirt with a girl so there's that #I said I would never pretend to be stupid or weak to attract people but I'm not sure where that fits on the spectrum #oh well #personal nonsense

“Class is knocked out of the picture in the opening voice-over: Whereas the novel’s Nick Carraway was told, growing up, to “remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had,” the film’s Nick Carraway is told to “try to see the best in people.” Which is a very different task, and a completely apolitical one to boot.”

Bring on the Trash - In These Times

AAAAAAAAAHAHA

SERIOUSLY
SERIOUSLY

OH, BAZ LUHRMANN, HOW YOU FUCKING SUCK

I love Moulin Rouge. But if he wanted to make another movie about highly romanticized loved and shiny shiny costumes and ~partying on all night yeah~

he should have picked another project, instead of ripping the freaking spine out of The Great Gatsby and delivering its glittery corpse to an American audience that doesn’t want to think about exactly the things he’s ripped out

turning it in to a mockery of itself that actually contributes to the very things it critiques

(via mswyrr)

#yeah I did find that upsetting #because TGG has a really good and thoughtful opening #which sets up the whole very good and thoughtful work #and openings are important #very important #argh #personal nonsense #The Great Gatsby

#getting ready to move makes me so ridiculously giddy #I GOT MY WINTER BOOTS IN THE MAIL TODAY AND I WANTED TO JUMP UP AND DOWN BECAUSE #UGH I'M GOING TO BE LIVING IN A PLACE WITH SNOW AND EXCITING BIG CITY THINGS AND CLASSES AND NERDS AND AAAAAAAA #I know this probably seems really silly if you live in a place that gets cold #and I know I'll probably look back and laugh at my present self after my first real winter #but for right now it's really exciting okay #personal nonsense #it's just going to be really different in almost every way

imagine the shyest boy you know

that boy has a penis

that sometimes gets erect

#I'm just going to say that the first time my shyest male friend wanted to discuss gay porn #it was a good thing that it was over an instant messenger because it was so surreal #and I was probably making some really weird faces over it #personal nonsense #I'm sorry I just don't know how to be not-weird about things

#ASDFGHJKL THE NORTH AMERICAN DISCWORLD CONVENTION PEOPLE #E-MAILED ME TO ASK IF I'D LIKE TO BE IN A PANEL DISCUSSING THE LANGUAGE OF DISCWORLD??? #*screams quietly* #*screams loudly* #*jumps up and down excitedly* #*remembers that the trip out to the con is still too expensive* #*stops jumping up and down excitedly* #But I was so excited to get the e-mail oh my gosh #If you're in the Baltimore area you should think about going to the con because their panel list looks really incredible #INCREDIBLE I SAY #personal nonsense #I just love Discworld so much #One of my college essays was legitimately about how incredible the novels are #I think that sometimes people don't take them seriously because they're hilarious #but they're also really thoughtful and well-constructed and nuanced #and also incredible in terms of taking standard plots and devices and fiddling with them to make them exciting and surprising #but still universally resonant #I could talk about it for ages you don't even know #It was my first fangirl thing ever and it holds a really special place in my heart okay

What’s the logical course of action if you love Ender’s Game and are crying-level excited for the movie, but you also think that Orson Scott Card and his views are reprehensible and you don’t want to give him your money ever?

#It's not just that he's homophobic as all get out #he's also managing some really staggering levels of sexism I mean just... #*impotent fist shake* #please advise #personal nonsense #his universe-building is so beautiful but he is so awful wHY

Your AP stats and bio exams aren’t going to kill you! You will be awesome!

Thank you for your vote of confidence! I AM A STRONG INDEPENDENT WOMAN WHO WON’T LET STEM FIELDS FUCK WITH HER

I did AP Bio my junior year. The written portion is the worst. Just keep writing. Just keep saying relevant things. I did mostly that and I got a 5.

I’m just really nervous because it’s so much content! I took a practice test, and all of the multiple choice questions were about…relative organelle pH and stuff like that; it was awful. I’ve luckily had a really good teacher, but we weren’t able to get through a bunch of the chapters due to time issues, so even with independent work, the physiology and ecology sections are really shaky for me. Did you have any issues with the time constraints?
