Ellen Degeneres joins Taylor Swift on stage during ‘Style’ (8/24/15)
Yes hi hello, guess who has been enjoying @breezered‘s Star Trek Clexa AU and decided to do a drawing with what is probably a wildly inaccurate portrayal of their uniforms. (Me. The answer is me).
Anyways, go read the fic.
Hi, it’s mod w, I’m up really late again and I want to share some insomnia thoughts. 💫
For all lesbians anywhere,
You don’t need a girlfriend, partner or wife.
Girlfriends, partners and wives are (or should be) wonderful to have around but you are so far from needing one. So far.
Be an independent woman. Find the next step forward with your life and make it. Clap yourself. Take care of yourself, make friends, don’t starve yourself for love.
Do not for one second attach your worth to a woman that’s not there. Burn from your own need of you. Flare up under the magnificence of yourself in this terrifying and gorgeous world. Find your worth in your own work and beauty and strengths. Make them your own. Put all the pain and fear and sweat into this realisation.
Become a knight under your own banner. Not hers.
You do not need a girlfriend, partner or wife. Want is different from need. If you think you need a girlfriend, then you need yourself.
men’s loyalty to violence is disturbing. when women want a life free of abuse, assault, threat, & coercion, men’s first suggestion is “learn to fight back. learn to defend yourself”. i don’t want my life to be a fight. i don’t want to “prove myself” through inflicting pain & fear. i don’t find violence and physical conflict fulfilling or self-actualising. they’re exhausting & dehumanizing
When I was in school, one of my art teachers used to say “this world needs more creators. There’s more than enough destroyers in the world today.”
Just a reminder, if you create anything–art, writing, food, machines, ideas, equations, knits, tools, gardens–the world needs you.
