I Usually Hate My Birthday, Mainly Due To Self Loathing. But Because My Friends Are Awesome And Both

#crochet

I need to go to sleep, but I have new yarn.

If you knit or crochet, you can see where this is going…

As many of you know, I recently purchased an Uruk-Hai scimitar.

Well let me tell you, it was quite the pragmatic purchase. It has endless uses in my morning routine.

Such as making the bed:

Making toast:

Getting things off high shelves:

Making coffee:

Reaching the remote when it’s too far away:

And assisting me when I ran out of toilet paper:

I don’t know how I survived life without it.

In whats happening to our society right now: its sad that you cant even trust the same guys who are out there to protect us

On extrajudicial killings (via willbegreatsomeday)

Same could be said for my sexual assault.

WARNING to anyone planning on LEAVING THEIR HOUSE

The outside has unfriendly people, as well as a gigantic ball of fire in the sky. In addition, you may sometimes encounter a bird or an unpleasant smell.

Posting this because THERE ARE NO POSTED WARNINGS when exiting your home.

SIGNAL BOOST THE HELL OUT OF THIS.

@yellowtreeelectricityfeminist replied to your post “Why are you celebrating woman scientists? How is that not…”

well i mean, non-able-bodied men are still men and still seen as capable of being scientists. and able-bodied men can still have been bullied or picked on or gone to the hospital as much as those who arent able-bodied.. i find sexism and ableism to be very very different issues and shouldnt have to be mentioned in the same post like this. not to mention that racism and sexism are different too since black men can still be sexist even if they face racism every day

Yes, that is true.  But we’re not playing Oppression Olympics here.  “Different” doesn’t mean “worse” or “less bad.”  I didn’t want to oversimplify by saying “all men” (I know I’m sorry lol), because intersectional feminism is so very important now.  But yes, intersectional bigotry is also a thing: brown men can be sexist and homophobic, gay men can be racist and misogynistic, and white women can be EXTREMELY RACIST.  (I’m not yelling at you personally, I’m yelling at my fellow white women who didn’t disavow a very bigoted presidential candidate.)  That is something that now, more than ever, I never want this blog to lose sight of.

You have survived so much.
