Also I am definitely not the most organized dude ever, I will be the first to admit it, but I really recommend that if you’ve got a uterus and a calendar then spending a few months keeping track of your mood relative to your period can really help you figure out what’s going on…
If you have a smartphone or iPad or something similar, I recommend the Period Tracker app if you can deal with it being pink and flowery. It makes the whole process really simple and pretty much analyzes the data for you.
Let me tell you something about today. Today was the hottest day of the year in New Jersey, I woke up sweating despite air conditioning because it was 95 degrees. Now, i did what any logical person would do and I put on my favorite pair of shorts so i wouldn’t be sweating throughout the day.
Even in my shorts i was sweating my balls off but I went through half of my day as normal, no boys stared at my ass or tried to grope me in public yet when i went to the the cafeteria a teacher told me to go to the office because he finds my shorts inappropriate. I head down to the office to find a group of girls wearing shorts and skirts sitting in a small room in the office, we where all ordered to call our parents or to change into the clothes they had offered us from the school store. These items of clothing included sweatpants and a large heavy sweatshirt. I obviously refused to where those because it was 95 degrees and when you are sweating the key to cool down is NOT to put on more clothes. They told me I would have to stay in that room the whole day if it came down to it.
I was able to leave the office when my friend gave me a pair of yoga pants. The man who made me go down to the office brought down several other girls as I was leaving, at this point they didn’t care how long the shorts where they just sent everyone who was wearing a pair down. They warned me that if I put my shorts back on they would right me up.
I put them back on anyway because just walking down the hallway in those yoga pants made me faint, dizzy,and extremely hot. Thats the main issue, it is hot enough for people to pass out in school but to the school system they would rather a girl suffer from a heat stroke then to have a boy become turned on. My shorts don’t say “COme fuck me in the middle of class” they say,”Its warm out”
The sexualizing of innocent students is not okay
Risking students health is not okay
and tHE LACK OF FEMINISM IN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM WILL NEVER BE OKAY
Today was literally horrible
I hate our school so much
hahaha what the actual fuck
OH NO
FEMALE HUMAN BEINGS HAVE LOWER LIMBS
NOBODY KNEW THIS!!!!
We did this bit in the fucking Edwardian era when women wore split skirts for the first time to ride bicycles. Can we maybe not do it again? Now?

I was at Hot Topic and saw this cool tshirt for some band or something called Bring Me the Horizon and idk what bring me the horizon is and don’t really care but the shirt is cute so i’ll wear it
This was an experiment. See how people started getting mad at me for “buying” a Bring Me The Horizon shirt, when I said I really knew nothing about them? How I said I bought it simply because I thought it was cute? Completely disregarding who the band was?
This is how people from other cultures feel when you purchase and wear garb from their culture with no knowledge of what that garb symbolizes and means. If you wear or use something for the wrong reasons, people get mad.
This has got to be by far one of the best ways to explain cultural appropriation to people.

I finally got around to making frozen mango cream pie (be forewarned, original poster of the recipe is doing some serious Christian proselytizing while she’s at it). We’ll see how it turned out when it can come out of the freezer.
Also I’ve done a fuckton of packing. Not much remains to be packed. It looks like most of the stuff we’re moving is actually probably gonna be yarn (which is already in plastic boxes) and furniture.

To this end, we are calling on Facebook users to contact advertisers whose ads on Facebook appear next to content that targets women for violence, to ask these companies to withdraw from advertising on Facebook until you take the above actions to ban gender-based hate speech on your site.
Specifically, we are referring to groups, pages and images that explicitly condone or encourage rape or domestic violence or suggest that they are something to laugh or boast about. Pages currently appearing on Facebook include Fly Kicking Sluts in the Uterus, Kicking your Girlfriend in the Fanny because she won’t make you a Sandwich, Violently Raping Your Friend Just for Laughs, Raping your Girlfriend and many, many more. Images appearing on Facebook include photographs of women beaten, bruised, tied up, drugged, and bleeding, with captions such as “This bitch didn’t know when to shut up” and “Next time don’t get pregnant.”
These pages and images are approved by your moderators, while you regularly remove content such as pictures of women breastfeeding, women post-mastectomy and artistic representations of women’s bodies. In addition, women’s political speech, involving the use of their bodies in non-sexualized ways for protest, is regularly banned as pornographic, while pornographic content - prohibited by your own guidelines - remains. It appears that Facebook considers violence against women to be less offensive than non-violent images of women’s bodies, and that the only acceptable representation of women’s nudity are those in which women appear as sex objects or the victims of abuse. Your common practice of allowing this content by appending a [humor] disclaimer to said content literally treats violence targeting women as a joke.

Most advertisers are stunned to hear that their ads are on these pages.
We have been at this for a year now with the Flush Rush effort and it is working. It can work on FB too.

Nipples are more offensive than rape, apparently.

Shit that still needs to be packed:
- the contents of our bathroom
- contents of Lune’s nightstand
- the food processor and a couple of pots and pans (we still need them to cook the rest of the week’s dinners)
- possibly some stuff on top of Lune’s craft table?
Shit that still needs to be done:
- add my name to the car’s title so we can get a better deal on insurance
Shit we’ll probably need to buy at IKEA:
- two TARVA dressers
- a queen size bed frame
- a kitchen cart? maybe we’ll wait and save up for that
- all the various random things in the “apartment wishlist” document
Things we’ll need to buy from whatever home improvement store is closest:
- shellac
- clear varnish
- a couple of brushes with which to apply them
