And then I got an anonymous “ask” saying that although “college taught me some big words” I am very naive and have no idea what it’s like to be married to someone who starts crossdressing.
The latter is perfectly true, and the asker was right in pointing out that in fact, I do not know what I would do in those situations. I just speculate, and perhaps the speculations are based...

In which every Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee voted against reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act, and I was naively surprised in the Pitt News.
I woke up this morning having finished all my homework, completed (if not aced) all of my exams this week, and ready for my first Friday all semester that would not include seven hours of Vagina Monologues-related...

mysinmysoul:
Poorly written, poorly argued, and shockingly (or, at this point, not really that shockingly) devoid of empathy for women.
To those who pooh-pooh this as evidence of nothing more than how out of touch Catholic bishops are, let me ask you this: How would you feel if, say, a President Rick Santorum required all employers to cover psychiatric treatment to “cure” people of...

Since I know this is relevant to a number of people following me right now, I’m going to repeat something I’ve said several times in the past.
If you are suffering from some kind of mental disorder, something that impairs your function, like anxiety or depression or dysphoria or anything like that, you’re not a bad person.
You’re not a weak person. You’re...

Highlights from Vagina Monologues tabling
Rachel: We've got Magnums, too--if your man is big?
Girl: Oh, he ain't that big.
Adeola: (to a couple walking by; the girl has a small bouquet) Free condoms! We're giving them away! Hey, I know you need some, you just bought her flowers.
Me: Come to the Vagina Monologues and buy chocolate vagina lollipops. It'll be the only socially acceptable place to eat pussy in public!
Adeola: Why will no one take condoms?
Me: No one in Towers is having sex. NO ONE.
Rachel: I wish that were true.

Alex: Turn around.
Me: (turns around) Okay?
Alex: I'm hiding. Come find me.
Me: (turns back around, marches into bathroom, where Alex is between the door and the bathtub)
Alex: I am the night.

You and I have too much in common sometimes.
One day, we can open a yarn shop together and I can knit things and you can be the cute girl who runs the register and bakes cupcakes and makes all the hipsters afraid and awestruck so they’ll buy our shit. If you would so wish.

How much I want to give up college and knit sweaters for a living is inversely proportional to how much time I have left until my next Molecular Pathways and Regulation examination. With the latter at less than 24 hours, you can bet your socks that I’m drafting designs for my Etsy letterhead right now.

I’m studying for the exam I have in an hour on two cups of coffee and have had no food in 24 hours. I feel like the physical embodiment of everything wrong with academia, but also, I really want to get an A in this class to keep up my Classics GPA.
And also, you know, as a fuck-you to the chick in my class who seems to think Sparta never existed and was actually the product of an Athenian...

“It’s Okay to be Neither,” By Melissa Bollow Tempel
Alie arrived at our 1st-grade classroom wearing a sweatshirt with a hood. I asked her to take off her hood, and she refused. I thought she was just being difficult and ignored it. 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 room, I said:...

Kanye, you might be a tremendous asshole, but I’m not sure I’d be able to write this term paper if I didn’t have POWER at the top of my Spotify playlist*, so, thanks for that, brah.

So I had a bit of a nervous breakdown last night, but it’s okay! Because after I cried a lot Alex let me eat some of the chocolate orange soda bread he made and tomorrow night Nina and I are going to drink cocoa and eat gingerbread marshmallows and my PI sent me an email telling me I’m doing okay with my project and its rate of progress.
So. I maybe be a miserable failure at...

Me: (scrubbing the stove with Comet) Sometimes I wish I could bleach the ceiling.
Alex: That is such a bad idea.
Teresa: I mean, if you attached it to a Swiffer--
Alex: No.
Me: Alex, there is no situation where scrubbing with bleach is inappropriate. Except I guess babies.
