Oh. Em. Gee. WHAT IS AIR?
in the catholic ghetto, born and raised
at the playground is where I bullied most of the gays
relaxin chillaxin communion all cool
oppressing some minorities outside the school
when a couple of gays who were up to no good started making out in my friendly white neighborhood
I burned one little cross and the blacks got scared
And said “You’ll never be in the White House as long as we breathe air”
DYINGGGGGG

Quote reblogged from Esoterica with 16,055 notes
What men mean when they talk about their “crazy” ex-girlfriend is often that she was someone who cried a lot, or texted too often, or had an eating disorder, or wanted too much/too little sex, or generally felt anything beyond the realm of emotionally undemanding agreement. That does not make these women crazy. That makes those women human beings, who have flaws, and emotional weak spots. However, deciding that any behavior that he does not like must be insane– well, that does make a man a jerk.
And when men do this on a regular basis, remember that, if you are a woman, you are not the exception. You are not so cool and fabulous and levelheaded that they will totally get where you are coming from when you show emotions other than “pleasant agreement.”
When men say “most women are crazy, but not you, you’re so cool” the subtext is not, “I love you, be the mother to my children.” The subtext is “do not step out of line, here.” If you get close enough to the men who say things like this, eventually, you will do something that they do not find pleasant. They will decide you are crazy, because this is something they have already decided about women in general.
Lady, You Really Aren’t “Crazy” (via sparkamovement)
ouch
(via botchbot)
yeah. i got really tired of my ex “putting up with ‘my crazy’.”
(via polerin)
Ugh, that is PAINFULLY accurate and it’s a mistake I sure as hell won’t make again.

Racism is a system. Racism is a way of thinking. Racism is subconscious. Racism is an entire country being trained to suspect an entire race of being shifty, lazy, or suspicious by default.

Can Men Handle Being Ogled? →
I actually talk about this:
How I hate walking outside in shorts
Or wearing even eyeshadow
Or with my hair down.
I seriously feel like I have to be nothing of myself, just so I don’t get harassed on the street. I also hate that so many women get “mad” when you say these things, and “Oh, people don’t pay attention to me you’re lucky”, disgusting bums, teenagers, and even groups of men yelling at me makes me feel like crap, not lucky AT ALL. It’s fucking embarrassing, makes you feel like less of a person, and like you should be ashamed for wanting to be comfortable outside of your home.
I really appreciate one of the comments on this article:
As a straight dude, this is how I think of it: Say you’re walking down the street alone late at night and a very large, much more powerful than you, creepy gay man (or a group of them) starts yelling compliments at you and telling you what he’d like to do to you. Now imagine that happened fairly often. Imagine you’re at a bar and that same man tries picking you up and grabs your ass. Imagine that this is your reality for most of your life. In that type of circumstance you’re going to be uncomfortable being checked out even when it is non-threatening. 99% of the time, when men are checked out they are not at the bottom of a power dynamic. A lot of the time for women, they are.

So, can I tell you why this bugs me? Don’t get me wrong, I think love and enduring love especially are amazing things. And, yes, for a relationship to work for a long time you have to put in a lot of work. On the surface, this is a touching and lovely thing. But allow me and my emotional baggage to rant for a moment:
I’m divorced. My parents are divorced. For our situations, divorce was the best option. You can’t fix a relationship if the other person has already given up and walked away. When I see this quote, I get a little edgy because it feels like people are saying you shouldn’t ever throw away a broken relationship.
Often times, you have to. A broken or toxic relationship can really harm you if you continue to try and save it. There’s no shame in that. There’s no shame in saying, “I tried. It didn’t work and now I have to think about me and my future.”
I also have a lot of feelings about the history of the institution of marriage and how it’s viewed by society as the ultimate in an expression of love and commitment. It’s a legal contract. That’s really all it is. For some people, that contract can be great. For others, it can be really damaging. Again, I see no shame in realizing the legal contract you entered in to isn’t working and terminating it. If that’s what you need to do in order to live better, then do it.
I don’t know. For someone who has been through a divorce, I get kind of tired of society’s assumption that it’s an easy out. It’s not easy. It’s not easy emotionally, mentally, financially. It’s not something you just do. “Oh hey you know I was cool with being married but now I am kinda bored. Think I’ll just go get a divorce!” It almost never happens that way. Making the decision to get a divorce is hard and it hurts. It’s so very far from easy.
I also don’t think long-term committed relationships are the ultimate end goal for every one. I think for a lot of us there will be several people that we love and love passionately. But just because those relationships don’t last for decades doesn’t mean they weren’t important and amazing and wonderful. It doesn’t mean someone gave up along the way. It just means those relationships ran their course and the individuals involved can move on, be happy, and still appreciate that period of time with the other person.
FEELS. I just have a lot of feels, ok?
All. Of. This. Right. Here.
