It's 7:15am. Haven't slept. Exam at 9am. Again.
Bored with thinking about Pan’s Labyrinth and Lord of the Flies and how they relate to Christianity and Paganism and environmentalism and psychoanalysis and sexual maturity and how within each text the loss of innocence is ultimately representative of the disintegration of their coping mechanisms: either the escapism of the fantasy of the faun, or the unveiling of the truth that human nature...
It's 4:05am. I have an exam at 9am. And I think I...

I've not been feeling too sharp recently.
[[MORE]]
This year’s been tremendously hard. Family members have fallen ill, dynamics have changed, old friends are lost, new friends are made, then lost. Academia’s failing me as a distraction. Social anxiety’s reached a new peak. People have changed, health’s been awful, bombshells have been plentiful. I keep descending into these ‘dear god, I’m a terrible,...

theinvisibilitycloak asked: Okay. Calling me unprofessional is one thing, but pathetic isn't the right word. I can't believe that I'm getting so much crap for being pissed that the part was given to two people that didn't bother to audition when I did.

It'll cost me nearly £60 to get to Falmouth...
Trains suck. Being broke sucks. This whole shebang is a con.
And for it to cost £16 I have to get a train at 8am to Victoria, a coach from Victoria at 9am, reaching Plymouth at 3pm, then I need to get a cab from Plymouth coach stop to Plymouth train station, then a train at 4pm from Plymouth to Truro, then another train from Truro to Penryn, arriving at 5:41pm, whereby it will be pissing down...

Stop Street Harassment: Holly Kearl (via completelymoribund)
The thing that so many men need to understand is that women do not consider it a compliment when they are being harassed on the street. Women usually feel either embarrassed or terrified or a combination of the two. So stop fucking...

“The pornographic conception of female power is fundamental to the anti-feminism...”
– Andrea Dworkin
(found here)
I think this is absolutely on point. The association of ‘female liberty and empowerment’ as being intrinsically connected to sexual availability (primarily to men) is incredibly fucked and pervasive and counter-productive to feminist objectives.

This is my lad.
Dave. You should follow him because he puts up with me and that automatically makes him a saint. He’s also utterly hilarious, makes films, loves bargain knifeblocks, and looks cute whilst doing so.

respect is an entitlement due adults because they’re - what? - bigger?
The fact that a person occupies a position of authority does not mean he or she exercises authority in a manner that deserves esteem. For example, the fact that the law requires me to submit to certain designated authorities does not mean I am obligated to give them my respect. Note that obedience and respect are not...

femme bedrooms are best bedrooms. forcing men that want to sleep with you to (temporarily) feminize themselves and reconcile their normative masculine identity with their existence in your feminine space via having them abandon their clothing and thus (in a way) assimilate into your vomit-pink wonderland hellhole is my feminism.
