Quote reblogged fromI would love to say
that you
make me
weak in the knees
but
to be quite upfront
and completely
truthful
you
make my body
forget
it has knees
at all.Derrick Brown, Love Language (via cad-y)(Source: weatherbeatensoul)

i never understood
what made your lips on my neck
such an intimate affair
until your teeth grazed my pulse
and i realized
you could tear open my throat
and make me bleed out in your arms
but instead
you chose to kiss(Source: nellsays)

Quote reblogged from Feminist Sociology[F]or the first several years the SAT was offered, males scored higher than females on the Math section but females achieved higher scores on the Verbal section. ETS policy-makers determined that the Verbal test needed to be “balanced” more in favor of males, and added questions pertaining to politics, business and sports to the Verbal portion. Since that time, males have outscored females on both the Math and Verbal sections. Dwyer notes that no similar effort has been made to “balance” the Math section, and concludes that, “It could be done, but it has not been, and I believe that probably an unconscious form of sexism underlies this pattern. When females show the superior performance, ‘balancing’ is required; when males show the superior performance, no adjustments are necessary.”

And then people urge me everything is fine, of course it is, when you’re ignoring statistics that is.

Post reblogged from Ontological Shakedown.
The internet’s habits of shortening phrases and words tends to make things confusing, so I’ll explain this one in hopes of clearing things up: “Feminazi,” is short for, “I don’t actually know what feminists or Nazis are.”

I finally got a date for receiving my tax refund. As I’m trying to get a car, get into an apartment, and start a job, ~$500 would help out a lot right now. People, especially my older brother, have been really generous, but I have still been having nightmares about not having enough money. It’s not the greatest place to be in.
I’ll be receiving it on Thursday, which happens to be my birthday.
Happy birthday to me!
Hopefully now the bad dreams will stop.
