February 2013
So I bought some stuff to make chocolate roses with right (don’t tell, Fontaine!) and so I buy two things of skewers, and on the packaging it’s all fancy plastic and the label is all “all our products go through high quality control” and I’m like really for skewers, for sticks, quality control really?

Hey guys, those of you who have been following me for the past year know generally what’s going on in my life.
In July of 2011, I attempted suicide and was hospitalized for a few days. Shortly afterwards, my mother suggested I spend a week in Brazil with family to “clear my thoughts.” I was under the impression that I would be gone for A WEEK, so I packed a few...

I am still waiting for MRA’s to acknowledge that the patriarchy which facilitates the rape of women is the same patriarchy that forces men who are raped to feel “emasculated,” dehumanized, and ashamed, and thus prevents them from reporting their abusers.
It’s the same damn thing.
So, when your activism for men’s rights...

On a monumental mistake
dearcoquette:
This spring I’ll be graduating college. It’s taken 5 years, three degree changes and tens of thousands of dollars in loans before I found something I’m passionate about.
I’m slowly realizing I’m not passionate about it, though. I took it because it was easy and just thought-provoking enough to let me fool myself into thinking it was challenging. I feel like I’ve made a monumental...

Hi Tumblr folks!
As you know I said that today I had a horrible day.
This morning, as I was going to take my kids to the aquarium, I saw my car was on stands. Someone stole the tires and rims off my car.
