hateshiploveship:
In those years, people will say, we lost track of the meaning of we, of you we found ourselves reduced to I and the whole thing became silly, ironic, terrible: we were trying to live a personal life and, yes, that was the only life we could bear witness to

“It was like the classic scene in the movies where one lover is on the train and one is on the platform and the train starts to pull away, and the lover on the platform begins to trot along and then jog and then sprint and then gives up altogether as the train speeds irrevocably off. Except in this case I was all the parts: I was the lover on the platform, I was the lover on the train. And I was...

Because 39 years of choice is still a big FUCK YOU to all the anti-choicers out there
My job is to come up with some awesome pro-choice materials/factsheets to distribute. Thanks to countless hours of trolling every half-assed anti-choice argument on the Internets, I know my shit. And we don’t have room for everything.
So, my dearest followers, what are the biggest things that...
The feminist activist group I’m the president/co-coordinator of is bringing the trans hip hop poetry group F to eMbody to campus at the end of the month and I’m the one in charge of putting it all together.

And then I started thinking about my classmate from high school who committed suicide this week and I really feel for him, and it all scares me and makes me really, really sad. Because I understand...

I’m usually not a fan of starting a sentence with “that awkward moment when”
But, that awkward moment when you’re lying on your back playing on your phone and you drop it on your face.
