Honestly, the Android vs. iPhone debate is so stupid like so what, let people have their phones. It’s so pointless and dumb like yeah one has emojis and one looks like a Fisher Price My First Smartphone for Kids but like, can’t we all just get along and take a selfie together with the iPhone’s superior camera?

Ten more ways to say “I love you”

  1. Wrapped in sarcasm, spat out flippantly, halfway hoping it misses its mark.
  2. Softly, almost reverently, just as they turn their back. If they hear you, deny everything.
  3. Just before you fall asleep, just in case they forgot. Hoping like hell that they never do.
  4. In hypotheticals: a million potential bullets taken, a contact across the sea, a willing ear if and when they want to talk.
  5. Carved down to one syllable, a little lighter and a little less saccharine, slipped into moments that don’t quite need the whole phrase.
  6. Pressed into their shoulder like a promise: I know I’m small, but I adore you with the full weight of me.
  7. Prove it. Carve it into your palms, hoist it onto your back and with ragged breath proclaim it.
  8. Long past your bedtime when your guard is down and it’s all you can think to say, all you can feel, all you are.
  9. After days or weeks of psyching yourself up, biting it back, letting it well up inside until it almost suffocates you. Doesn’t that feel better?
  10. As a placeholder until the right words come along, the right words being a placeholder until sleep comes along, sleep being a placeholder until happiness – real, lasting happiness – comes along. Promise you’ll still be there when it does.

Two weeks ago a man in France was arrested for raping his daughter. She’d gone to her school counselor and then the police, but they needed “hard evidence.” So, she videotaped her next assault. Her father was eventually arrested. His attorney explained, “There was a period when he was unemployed and in the middle of a divorce. He insists that these acts did not stretch back further than three or four months. His daughter says longer. But everyone should be very careful in what they say.” Because, really, even despite her seeking help, her testimony, her bravery in setting up a webcam to film her father raping her, you really can’t believe what the girl says, can you? Everyone “knows” this. Even children. Three years ago, in fly-on-the-wall fashion of parent drivers everywhere, I listened while a 14-year-old girl in the back seat of my car described how angry she was that her parents had stopped allowing her to walk home alone just because a girl in her neighborhood “claimed she was raped.” When I asked her if there was any reason to think the girl’s story was not true, she said, “Girls lie about rape all the time.” She didn’t know the person, she just assumed she was lying… No one says, “You can’t trust women,” but distrust them we do. College students surveyed revealed that they think up to 50% of their female peers lie when they accuse someone of rape, despite wide-scale evidence and multi-country studies that show the incident of false rape reports to be in the 2%-8% range, pretty much the same as false claims for other crimes. As late as 2003, people jokingly (wink, wink) referred to Philadelphia’s sex crimes unit as “the lying bitch unit.” If an 11-year-old girl told an adult that her father took out a Craigslist ad to find someone to beat and rape her while he watched, as recently actually occurred, what do you think the response would be? Would she need to provide a videotape after the fact? It goes way beyond sexual assault as well. That’s just the most likely and obvious demonstration of “women are born to lie” myths. Women’s credibility is questioned in the workplace, in courts, by law enforcement, in doctors’ offices, and in our political system. People don’t trust women to be bosses, or pilots, or employees. Pakistan’s controversial Hudood Ordinance still requires a female rape victim to procure four male witnesses to her rape or risk prosecution for adultery. In August, a survey of managers in the United States revealed that they overwhelmingly distrust women who request flextime. It’s notable, of course, that women are trusted to be mothers—the largest pool of undervalued, unpaid, economically crucial labor.

I want to watch you wake up every morning. I want your face to be the first thing I see every single day; I can’t think of a better way to start off my day.
