Oh man the… the thing it was from named it and just the mention of the name will set me off now
None Pizza with Left Beef
i am legit in tears
i laughed so hard that im hyperventilating and my throat hurts
this will teach me to look at tumblr during lectures
i was
pulling this horrifying grimace with my eyes all full of tears in an effort not to go into hysterics
the professor probably thought i was having a breakdown over wh-movement across clauses
“ICEBERG , ICEBERG!”
i’m so done
clicky
The lovely moment where you shatter your Iphone and there’s two touching penis’s on the back.
today in philosophy i learned that witches were portrayed as riding broomsticks because back in the day it was a euphemism for riding the devil’s dick so just think about that before you consider dressing up as a witch for halloween
I don’t understand why you think this would stop me.
Seriously though your period is like coming home one day and finding that your spouse has constructed this entire new baby bedroom inside your house and you have to tell them “Sweetie we don’t have a baby” and then your spouse FLIPS THE FUCK OUT like “The FUCK do you mean we don’t have a baby I DID ALL THIS WORK” and then they spend the next week tearing the whole room apart and throwing it out into the street and screaming at you and then finally when the room is completely gutted they calm down and say “It’s okay hon we’ll have a baby next month” and then they start building the room again AND THIS SHIT KEEPS GOING FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE UNTIL YOU HIT LIKE 50 AND THEN YOUR SPOUSE LEAVES YOU BUT NOT BEFORE SETTING THE WHOLE HOUSE ON FIRE SO IT’S NEVER THE SAME AGAIN
IF YOU’RE EVER SAD
SAY ‘TEEHEE’ IN A REALLY DEEP, MANLY VOICE.
OH MY GOD
I can’t even do it
Fuck
No always means no. But yes doesn’t always mean yes.
If you say yes because:
- There’s no point in saying no
- They won’t listen to no
- They haven’t listened to no in the past
- You’re afraid of what they will say or do if you say no
- You’re afraid of what someone else will say or do if you say no
- You don’t believe you have the right to say no
- You don’t think you matter enough to say no
- You don’t think a person “like you” gets to say no
- You think they’ll no longer love you if you say no
- You think they’ll hate/hurt themselves if you say no
- You think they’ll hurt someone else if you say no
- You said yes before and don’t think you can revoke it
- You have said yes to other people and think that means now you have to say yes to whoever wants you
- You are being threatened
- You believe it is your duty to say yes
- You are being offered a reward if you say yes
- You have been told you “have to” do a particular act to be a “real” ______
- You think it’s “too late” to say no
- You didn’t understand what they wanted to do
- Any reason at all other than you actually want to engage in that specific act at that specific time with that specific person with full knowledge of what it is, freedom to say no without fear of consequence, and the full belief in your own agency to make your own decisions about your body
It’s not a real yes. It’s not real consent. And what happened to you was still a real violation and your feelings about that are also very, very real and very okay.
