I FELL DOWN THE STAIRS AND BROKE MY ASS.
I’m not kidding, I mat have actually broken my tail bone, but there’s nothing you can do for it except take pain meds, so I’m not going to the doctor. But I can’t sit down or lay on my back and I can’t stand or walk without getting lightheaded and blurred vision.
And it hurts when I sneeze. And I have 200 pages of history to read by tomorrow. I HATE THIS.

Really though, when you reblog the quote from Morgan Freeman where he says to just stop talking about racism, then use that as an excuse to complain about Black History Month, I’m judging you.
That has been all over my dash this month, and really only from white people. Why does it bother you so much that there’s a month dedicated to black history? Do you not realize...

Ya know, because that’s so bad.
They might wear clothes that may not fit gender stereotypes, play with Barbies and cars, love glitter and camouflage, and love the color pink and the color blue, and further prevent sexism from occurring. Hell, they may even fall in love with a…

Random Trips and New Diets
mikeday2012:
Hello everyone! I’ve had a pretty weird last few days. Thursday my wife and I decided to go on a random trip to see a good friend of mine. He was the best man at my wedding and is stationed about 4 hours away from me. So we packed the car, grabbed the kid, and took off. I’m not going to get into the trip too much, it was kind of back and forth, but I would like to talk about a few...
When a woman can no longer control her own reproductive system because of someone else’s religious beliefs, it is no longer freedom of religion. It is the infringement of religion onto human freedom.
Do you know how hard it is to find a gorgeous...

Extremely.
So whenever I friend an Indian girl with a perfect face on facebook, I creep through all of her pictures in a suspended state of wondrous disbelief. Currently there are two such females that I know, and I go through alternating phases of hating and admiring their faces. Please note...

The internet is so much more interesting. But I swore to myself I would write this paper before I fell asleep. My reward? Nyquil. I love being sick.

The World Health Organization study suggests global abortion rates are steady, at 28 per 1,000 women a year.
However, the proportion of the total carried out without trained clinical help rose from 44% in 1995 to 49% in 2008.
HEY NO SHIT. Because when you restrict access to abortions, you are not eliminating abortions. You are making them...
rick santorum should give up his campaign for lent
Watching Aladdin!
Can’t decide if I’m totally stoked that it’s on or if I’m totally disgusted at what racist shit my childhood consisted of.
It’s sad that writing my paper on patriarchal terrorism and feminist theory of IPV is cheering me up. I love writing about this. It’s like getting good grades for the rants I post on tumblr everyday.
