Oof. Rough patch. I thought working out would make me less depressed. Trying to bury it in school work.
Pleasure means nothing without pain.
It hurts because I really loved her.
What else can anyone ask for?
Making leaps towards being ok.
I can no longer give a fuck.
in the end it is always worth it.
Ughghghg -Angry Post-
I hate my stupid brain. I hate how long this is going to take. I just want to be ok. I hate the dumb things I do out of fear and jealousy and anger. I hate that I made her stay for so long that she got over me, and now I have to learn how to get over her. I hate that she has someone else. I hate that I don’t. I hate that I dont feel like I ever will.
Westberg's Ten Stages of Grief
I am very much in this process. Grief isn’t always associated with a death, sometimes just a loss or a radical change. So time to brainspill a bit inside of the context of this book. Note: The book itself is very Christian-oriented. I have consciously removed most of the references to God, save one thing about emotion I remember from Conversations With God.

Even when it’s easier, it’s really hard.
Even though I love her, and I know she loves me. I know we aren’t going down this path together anymore. I’m gonna miss her. Miss us.
It hurts so fucking much. More than anything has for a long time. Its the pain of the end of something that really ment something. So its worth it. It was worth it. No regrets. No regrets.

Fuck. My. Life.

Here are some of my person opinions:

My sociology class had a 30 minute discussion the young black boy who was shot and killed recently. A lot of bullshit privleged rhetoric was spewed, and I started calling people out on their shit. As is usually the case, once things get heated, theprofessor shuts down discussion and changes the subject.
After class, an African-American nursing student, only ofonly 2 in the class, came up to me...
Idea?
So since I have a full blown joker costume now, I was trying to come up with something for my girlfriend to wear to Cons. Everyone likes Harley Quinn, but she’s a bit problematic (understatement of the year). So the obvious solution is a radical feminist re-imagining of Harley Quinn. Like sticking to the Nolan “realism” shtick, but making an angry, patriarchy-smashing, and strong...

Today's Golden Quote
“We’re so concerned with prosecuting the banks, butwhat about the responsability of the homeowners? They didn’t have to buy those houses!”
This guy obviously has everything figured out. The economic meltdown was merely the fault of a giant group of dumb people. Everyone can stop analyzing it now!

Because cis scum have been telling trans folk to die for a long fucking time and self-defense isn’t oppression.
This right here.
Hi, cis female here. Telling people to die is disgusting, period. I’m offended by trans people…

When you’re a member of a privileged group, like being cisgendered, heterosexual, white, or male, the most difficult part of understanding activism, developing progressive ideas, and becoming a good ally is figuring out exactly what…

Hi, if you’re one of my (white) friends, I would like you to take a minute and read this. All of it. Then think about it. Then read it again. THEN take a minute to talk to me if you want. TIA

Let Me Make This Really Simple
Feminism is not anti-male.
Feminism is anti-patriarchy and anti-sexism
Patriarchy is the school of thought informing our society about the gender roles of men AND women
Feminist reasoning is all about taking a long, hard, critical look at your reasons for doing something.
Then separating out things that have been informed by patriarchy and noticing how destructive and problematic they are.

Music with a soul is real music. Go out to new orleans and find the dirtiest, dimly lit jazz bar you can. Spend way too much money on drinks, and listen to what will probably be the best live music you’ve ever heard.
We spend so much time and energy trying to define what music is good and what is bad, trying to imitate the sound of the moment, or create something to sell as a product. Music...
The Will to Change
I’ve been searching for quotes from this book to post or ways in which I could summarize what bell hooks is saying, but she is one of those rare writers who does not waste a single word. If I were to take a highlighter to this book, every page would be yellow from the first line to the last. Every single person I know should read a bell hooks book, or some kind of feminist critique along...
