My friends(don't have tumblr): have u seen this meme lol, it was on the 'best of tumblr' facebook page, tumblr is so funny
Me, a tumblr gremlin: haha yeah lol, think i've seen that one before lol
Me (what I really mean): you fools. I am plugged into the mainframe, wired to the primary source. Of course have seen that meme, and all 5000 of it's variants, 3 and a half months ago. I have seen the rise and fall of that meme, the boom and bust, the drama, the pain, the shitposting, oh god, the shitposting. I have seen this meme in it's rawest, freshest, unpasturised, most primal state. Do not insult me with these rank, stale puddles, that sit at the very base of the meme trickle down economy.

No, seriously, even if you’re not at your best, if you identify a ladyfolk, are studying a science or technology, and go to school in the US, APPLY.

You don’t have to be amazing. You just have to believe in your future make the case for your commitment. Brush your hair (or wax your scalp! you do you, girl!), tidy up, and DO. YOUR. BEST.

They don’t care if your state doesn’t think you’re female. So long as you are and have been for an academically significant period of time, that’s enough.

I believe in you! Even if you don’t get this one, it’s good practice for next year. They’ll be back, with even more opportunities. Trust me. I know them. They’ve got a mission and they’re gonna stick to it. Just do it.

Thanks for tagging me! It looks like this might only be for undergrads though. I'm gonna find out, for sure just in case.

Every time I'm about to fall asleep

Me: *almost asleep*
My brain: hey
Me: *sighs* here we go...
My brain: think about every scary movie you've ever seen.
Me: why?
My brain: you gotta

I might make another blog that is all or 90% original content. I enjoy reblogging stuff that I like and want my friends to see but I'd also like to share more of myself. Hm...what to do, what to do...

On a personal level, being misogynist, ableist, homophobic, etc. is not just about feeling hatred for marginalised groups. Hatred is a symptom, and not everyone has that symptom. Sometimes it’s pity. Or creepy dehumanising fascination. Or indifference. Or ignorance and a self-absorbed refusal to learn to be better.

But it’s not about your feelings at all - it’s about actions and whether your actions support an oppressive system.

That’s why you can’t say, “I’m not misogynist! I love women!” and have people go, “well, you know your feelings best!” It’s not about your feelings. It’s about what you’re doing and if it’s harmful. And you do not get to decide if you’re harming others.
