Fuck special snowflakes who think like this.

Gurl bye

Your ass ain’t fucking special because you don’t wear makeup.

You’re not fucking better than the woman with large breasts who wears tank tops.

You’re a piece of shit because you are putting sexist stereotypes onto other women in some anti-feminine bullshit.

If you don’t like it, why’d you comment on it? I think it’s awesome and you’re probably one of the girls up there that wears makeup and shortshorts and tiny tanktops. And most kids today wear makeup because they think they aren’t pretty and need it. So deal with it. And get over yourself.

girl bye.

lemme tell you something: I wear tons of fucking make up. I wear short dresses. I walk around with a face that looks about as fake as it can get outside of a fucking barbie doll. and I like it that way. and, despite what you seem to think, no, it’s not because i think i’m ugly. i just fucking like makeup (and trust, i’ve spent years examining my own motivations and how they’re tied to internalized self-hated, fatphobia and misogyny so don’t EVEN cause you don’t know what you’re talking about).

I also read ravenously; engage in discourse regarding philosphy, art, economics, politics, race, gender, sexuality; make subversive art; and love comics and film and music. I’M A FUCKING PERSON IS WHAT I’M SAYING.

like how fucking deep is this goddamn image when the spine of the book JUST SAYS THE WORD ‘BOOK’.

this kind of bullshit narrative, other than furthering a misogynistic dichotomy that pits women against each other, is also a complete fucking fallacy. A huge majority of average women DON’T DO THIS. you aren’t the lone plain jane in an army of cake-faced, bottle blonde barbies—if you look around, you’ll see that most women just throw on jeans and tops and very little makeup.

I get that this kind of shit is an attempt to fight back against media-made images of what womanhood is supposed to be. I get it. (thought isn’t it interesting that the “weirdo” in the picture is still thin and conventionally attractive??)

but attacking other women who you perceive as being stupid or carbon copies because of their fucking appearance doesn’t fight back against shit. it actually does EXACTLY what the patriarchy wants us to do—engenders more hatred and competition between women.

but you know, whatever, continue to think you’re so goddamn special. i’ll be over here reading AND wearing hot pink lipstick and having a hell of a time doing it.

Good Stuff

Mon, 03 Jun 2013 01:27:44 -0400

So I complain about grades and school a lot here because I can’t show other people my A crazed and obsessive tendencies.

But things have been going swell. I’m going to be working over the internet, finding research material and such for WITS in the summer. Which means, I won’t be bumming it out completely. I’ll probably do some stuff for MAPS—I’m supposed to be doing some stuff for MAPS but that’s not happening lately because I’m a crappy and irresponsible person. Heh, self-criticism.

Blah blah blah.

I can’t wait till after finals week or till after I’ve completed all my essays because I’m going to spend the following week in absolutely duty free bliss<3 Whooo Sumer/Winter Part II 2013

I think my life is wonderful if all I can complain about it school work.

Cool, exciting projects

So actually, apart from all the complaining I’ve been doing because I’m partially mentally/emotionally unstable sometimes (only sometimes though), I’ve been taking some darn cool classes this quarter. I get to write about the fundamental nature of humans and how that shapes human experiences through the lens of authors like Marx AND I get to do my final sociological methods paper on a topic that I’m genuinely interested in. Also, the class on pirates because it’s a class on pirates—except the class is whatevers actually. I’m probably much more interested in the theories behind political science and specifically the anthropology behind politics than I am in actual anthropology itself. And if that’s the case, then I can just substitute anthropology with sociology and examine society in terms of the individual. They’re all related anyways—anthropology just kind of goes off and does it own things in the name of cultures/subjects like pirates. I don’t care what kind of clothing and languages a culture develops though, I care about the implications of society and the like.

Anyways, I’m super excited to be productive for the next few days because I’ve realize that the work I have to do is actually enjoyable and not stressful.

I complained to my brother about the lack of aesthetic appeal of the letter C and he told me that if I got two Cs, then I can make a circle and everyone knows circles are very much so aesthetically appealing.

My topic for methods class is inclination towards violence within American protesters. I’m trying to assess whether people are morally against the use of violence as a means to effect social change or are they merely using nonviolence because it is an effective strategy and they do not give two shits about the moral imperatives behind it. It’s interesting because it’s reflective of human nature; as well, this is a study of American attitudes. Since this is a first world country that stands on the side of peace while simultaneously maintaining the world’s largest military, it’s interesting to study individual attitudes towards the use of violence as a means to get shit done.

By the way

I’m dating someone. I don’t know how it happened, I never know how these things happen but I guess they just do and it’s kind of nice that I am but I asked him if I could have an Australian fling over the summer because that’s what going to Australia’s all about and he’s like, you can watch the kangaroos by yourself.

MY LIFE IS A FUCKING TRAGEDY.

lol jk he’s really nice except he wouldn’t give me his pillow yesterday.

Well…I think we’re dating. Why does this always happen to me?

Wait guys my life is so fucking awesome right now.

“My parents were missionaries, so I grew up all over. I’ve lived in New York, Los Angeles, Budapest, and Moscow. And most of my friends were from missionary families, so they’ve moved on. My home is on Facebook now because it’s hard for me to go home— if that makes sense. Because my home was not a place. My home was a time, and a place.”

Here's What a Pussy Is

Sat, 04 May 2013 12:52:17 -0400

Not responding in apathy and feign indifference, being able to be vulnerable, being able to risk being naive, foolish, etc. Not acting in anger, hate, revenge. Masculinity at its finest is rejected and replaced with a sense of forgiveness. Resembles passivity but isn’t really. Power of water. This is what pussy is.

Pussy is beautiful.

Balls are weak.

The sad part is that society is right but chooses to be wrong.

Humanity, get your shit together already. Stop being a little bitch and just confront your emotions and realize that you’re all fucking human, flesh and blood.

Be Courageous, Stay Positive

Thu, 02 May 2013 18:53:00 -0400

While I’ve been going through a series of emotional ups and downs that seem to be completely unrelated to my external circumstances, I’m feeling as if I’m able to accept the positive more and more each day as I realize that it’s okay to have my head up in the air and skip out on work sometimes. It’s okay to think that the universe will work out its knots and twists in the end as long as I stick to the kind of person I want to be. College is transforming into a place that my heart can recognize as home rather than a battleground. It’s nice. There are some trenches and shit but that’s okay. Things are becoming more and more okay.

Hmmm. (:

I want to do good things in life and stuff and I applied for a job as a research assistant for an urban policy project that sounds super amazing and much more fruitful than work right now because I’m not doing much and I have low morale and for some reason the days just swing on by without my notice and life. but yeah. I couldn’t figure out whether oranges would still be oranges if they were yellows instead.

I need at least one week before I can attempt to be social again.

Mon, 22 Apr 2013 22:17:44 -0400

Why is it that my tolerance for socializing and taking to people always wears thin? Part of me think it’s the people and part of me thinks it myself. It’s probably myself, I need to learn to like people more though. Maybe it’s the fact that it’s a long day and I need to embark on about 5 hours of heavy duty working still. UGHHHH
