Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
did a cover of the Robyn song “dancing on my own” because i love it and it is the story of my life haha.
my parents and i at my honors medal ceremony. i can’t wait to graduate for REAL.
that awkward moment when
your best (guy) friend’s ex-girlfriend is trying to be friends with you.
what do you WANT from me?
real life
is scary. i’m realizing financial realities and it’s so real and so shitty. i might not be able to do this internship i really want to do because i need MONEY. i don’t even know if i should bother applying. i feel stuck and pressured to move forward at the same time. i guess things now really don’t matter. i just need to get a job and do things to keep my sanity…? i’m pretty good at leaving people behind so i guess i shouldn’t worry about graduating and leaving my friends. i want to keep in touch but at the same time that’s so hard and it’s another priority to put on my long list of priorities that will further my future. goddamn i hate this feeling of wanting to stay but wanting to leave so badly. i hate that i’m starting to feel lonely and while i say “i’m done with him” i don’t really want that to be the case. i just want things to work out and i want to not have to worry about finances.
is this what it’s gonna be like? :(
I don’t know if rape jokes encourage rape culture. I don’t care. You still shouldn’t tell them.
Statistically, if you have told a rape joke to a group of more than five people, one of the people you told it to was a rape survivor, possibly of multiple rapes. They will not necessarily disclose this to you; rape apologism is endemic in society and most rape survivors are cautious about whom they tell. Some may even be too ashamed of their rape to admit it to anyone, or because of rape-minimizing narratives like “men can’t be raped” and “I consented to oral, so I couldn’t have been raped” may not admit it even to themselves. The fact remains: if you’ve told dozens of rape jokes in your life, then you have almost certainly told a joke that minimizes or trivializes rape in front of a survivor.
And if you put as your Facebook status “I totally raped at Halo today” for your two hundred Facebook friends to see, statistically, you have just reminded thirty-three people of one of the worst experiences of their entire lives.
To describe how well you did at a video game.
Good job!
