For the sake of having a calm evening I shall stop. However if anyone wants my views on the following subjects, speak now or forever hold your peace: Violence The importance of context Truly viewing all people equally and automatic responses to actions of the oppressed (with Discworld quote) People not obviously oppressed holding opinions on oppression I will put the rant down… now.

Watching your younger sister open presents from relatives who have now decided you’re old enough to not get anything is disheartening. I know I should be grateful for what I’ve got and I’m being selfish about this… but… socks. Oh, and one cheque. Then I ended up discussing what I’ll do next year if I can’t do an MA over the washing up. That’s...

rosalarian: A Navy tradition caught up with the repeal of the U.S. military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” rule on Wednesday when two women sailors became the first to share the coveted “first kiss” on the pier after one of them returned from 80 days at sea. Tears in my eyes right now. I love these little bits of progress.

After breakfast we got in line for art, and I noticed that she still had not removed her hood. When we arrived at the art...

My friend snuck onto my computer and changed my birthday. It won’t let me change it back and the only help I can find is a vague statement that they have restrictions on changing your birthday and so being able to fix it may take “a few days.” Nowhere does it say how many is “a few” and there is no way of directly contacting any kind of help to find out more or get it...

On letting it go.

dearcoketalk: Do you believe in the saying, “If you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, its yours forever. If it doesn’t, then it was never meant to be”? Fuck no. That’s just some simple bullshit people who believe in romantic destiny say when they’re going through the bargaining phase after getting dumped. Nothing about your love life is “meant to be,” nothing is “yours...
