Do not let adults steal this generation from you. Relish in selfies. Snapchat pictures of coffee to your friends, huddle around an iphone to watch Vines. Shamelessly love this generations commodities, like how your parents loved THEIR commodities, like disco or Hammer Pants or whatever else. Do not let angry adults take away your chance to experience the uniqueness of right now.
I really love this post

“I dunno, ‘cause flowers are pretty cool?”
“In loving memory of all the faces that were buried there.”

a few things you probably did not know about the signs
Chataries: even though they don’t express it frequently, they constantly crave attention from the people they care about and feel neglected/disliked if they don’t receive that attention
taurus: they’re incredibly secretive; even if it seems like they’re talking a lot and opening up to you, you will never know the whole story bc they’ll never let you know the whole story – only random parts of it
gemini: very aware of what makes other people happy and of how to cheer them up – actually surprisingly good at comforting people if they care about them enough
cancer: even if they seem quiet and reserved on the outside theyre actually completely crazy once you get to know them and it’s almost scary tbh
leo: 100% ready to help you out through any crap you’re going through and are likely to kill someone for you if you need it
virgo: they have a rly dorky sense of humour and even though their jokes are usually the lame they’ll always be there to pick you up when you’re having a bad day
libra: not rly nice and nurturing to EVERYONE (like zodiac posts make them seem), actually VERY selective about their friends and gives them the realest advice without ever sugarcoating anything
scorpio: too perceptive, even if they don’t point it out they can tell when something’s wrong before you’ve even decided to tell them
sagittarius: even though they’re outgoing and usually manage to get along with different kinds of people, they have only a very small number of true friends who they are ridiculously loyal to
capricorn: they are veeeeery picky, especially when it comes to friends and the people they trust – even if they seem very impressed with you they might be just acting polite while judging u on the inside lmao
aquarius: they aren’t unemotional, they probably do care about you a lot but just don’t know how to show it
pisces: they let themselves get dragged through the dirt all the time and even if you treat them like crap they pretend they’re okay when they’re not and do literally whatever they can to help you and make you happy
I always hate it when girls say “But I’m fat,” and then I automatically reply with “No you aren’t!” because that isn’t what I want to say.
What I want to say is a century ago you would have been a goddess.
What I want to say is you are a goddess now.
What I want to say is that society stole that word from you.
What I want to say is “So what? Fat does not mean ugly. Fat is not a bad word. You are fat. I am fat. And we are beautiful.”
What I want to say is fat and ugly are not synonymous.
What I want to say is my god, if you are fat, be fat, but fall in love with yourself all the same because you are so much more than weight and weight has never been everything.
But I always say “No you aren’t!” and they always know I’m lying.
Intersectionality
Standardis the undercurrent theme of this blog. Perhaps this is a new concept. If so, here are some things to get started:
Kimberlé Crenshaw (who coined the term in 1989) on intersectionality: “I wanted to come up with an everyday metaphor that anyone could use.” (source)
“Intersectionality promotes an understanding of human beings as shaped by the interaction of different social locations (e.g., ‘race’/ethnicity, Indigeneity,gender, class, sexuality, geography, age, disability/ability, migration
status, religion). These interactions occur within a context of connected
systems and structures of power (e.g., laws, policies, state governments
and other political and economic unions, religious institutions, media).
Through such processes, interdependent forms of privilege and oppression
shaped by colonialism, imperialism, racism, homophobia, ableism and
patriarchy are created.PUT SIMPLY: According to an intersectionality perspective, inequities are never the result of single, distinct factors. Rather, they are the outcome of intersections of different social
locations, power relations and experiences.” (source)Read more things! There are a lot. Here are just a few:
