What you got made fun of in school for?

me when i was in the 2nd grade and mrs. ammot tried to teach me long division

best filling of all time: 4am on a december morning. u wake up and ur sleepy. its cold and snowy outside. the sky looks completely hazy and snow is lightly falling. ur warm and cozy. its completely quiet and everyone else is asleep. 

Being abused can seriously affect your ability to distinguish between “not obviously pleased” and “obviously displeased” because abusers go from Neutral to Hostile for absolutely no discernible reason, and eventually you start worrying that everyone is going to be like that and you start feeling this urge to make absolutely sure that the people you actually care about aren’t mad or upset, because to you, “there’s no evidence that they’re not angry” is the same as “there’s evidence that they are angry”

!!! this thing! this thing right here!

hmm … suspicious

play a lute

get a tit out

maybe even two

psychotic lesbians? lesbians with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, ocd, and other “scary” mental illnesses? lesbians who are marginalized for the way their brain works along with liking girls? i love them, they’re so strong and they endure so much and they deserve all the support in the world 😍💞

short comic about cats 

in movies they always have characters sharing an intimate moment and saying “tell me something you’ve never told anyone before” and some deeply moving personal story full of emotion and heartache comes out of it and the characters, who have never been in talk therapy in their lives, bond around their secrets

the fuck would I have to say? “for about six months in high school I wanted to be a mime”? like shit son all the important stuff I’ve either shared in therapy or thoroughly repressed. and now I just shared the mime thing so can’t use that.

questions men should ask themselves more often

- am i being unnecessarily forceful/loud?

- am i talking over others? are those others mostly women?

- why does this person feel like that? how can i acknowledge their feelings?

- does she seem comfortable around me? if not, why?

- am i devaluing women as a joke/when they make me angry? am i insulting women’s appearance and sanity whenever they make me angry?

- am i listening to other people’s knowledge/experiences or am i only talking about my own? how can i share my knowledge/experiences in a respectful way that doesn’t monopolize conversation or infantalize others (primarily women)?

I donut blame her. (via _BrittanyMoniqe)
