Text Conversation I just discovered on my phone
(background: My friend Ash and I got schwasted in her art studio, where she was painting me. We downed an entire bottle of citron vodka together. We were so loud that this white dude was like “Can y’all just chill out? Sorry, but I’m actually working.” Also, it was a Wednesday night. This is the text conversation we had afterwards):
Me: We r soooooo trash asian lyfe lol with the intentionalv “y” omg I am sooooooodrunkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Her: Im wasted.
Me: pmeeeeeee t8ooooooo omg
Her: “can u xhill out?”“”
Her: FUCKKKKKKKK
Me: Bitchass cis gemdered ho privilieged embodiment of THE MANMAp
Tumblr: America needs to stop being racist and sexist, pay more attention to women and PoC ok
CBS: Hey guys guess what we decided Watson should be played by a Taiwanese, female actress in our version of Sherlock Holmes
Tumblr: NOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T DO THAT HOW DARE YOU I AM BOYCOTTING YOUR SHOW I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS IS THE WORST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED

The Sad Laundry Paradox of being a Femme...
1. ”It’s Time to do Laundry” is determined by whether or not I have any clean, non-thong/ridiculously lacy and skimpy underwear left. Everything else can be pulled out, shaken vigorously, and then re-worn.
2. Ridiculous amounts of clothes means I can go weeks without doing laundry. But being femme means that I will probably change my clothes. A lot. Multiple times a day....

That’s a notion I’ll never really understand, but of course people should do what they think is best for themselves. Still, I hate being treated like my ideals are wrong, and that love is some finite thing that can’t be shared. People, live your life the way you want and don’t let your own best judgment be set aside for anyone or anything. But please allow others...

Anonymous asked: I really appreciate your point of view on this topic, and I hope that you push past all of the stress associated with body image once and for all. I'm one of the few girls I know who is almost consistently okay with her own body type, but I know a lot who struggle with it daily. I hate watching them struggle and knowing I can't help. Thank you for this, because by saying all that you...

holly is a “mary sue” and artemis is “perfect”

okay here’s the thing. holly and artemis are similarly “perfect” okay, in different ways. and you know what makes her a mary sue? the fact that she’s amazing but she’s a girl. the male version term of mary sue isn’t even that common, so if we’re labelling holly as mary...

Directly proportional. Also, the more racist said men are, the more likely it is that their opening pick up line will be something like, “Ni hao, sweethearrrrrt”
It’s because they’re also misogynists, and the culture has told them that Oriental women are subservient and don’t have the same expectations as those evil Feminist harpies.
It’s also because...

Me: we're talking about racial covenants in class and I really don't want to deal with all the racist white people
The Boi: Right...and you want me to CONVINCE you to go to class?
Me: no, I just want to feel justified for skipping
The Boi: Well, if you went, you could tell who the most racist person in class is
Me: I already know
Me: And those dudes be hitting on me like whoa
The Boi: just 'cause they're racist doesn't mean they don't want to hit it

Fortunately for now, most of America just sees Asian-Americans as cute little socially awkward entertainers or one possible exotic choice in sex partners. (The wise, inscrutable stereotype usually only goes to foreign-born Asians. It’s hard to sound wise with a California accent.)
I say “fortunately” because I guess I’d rather be patronized than worry about getting...

For people who don’t know, a covenant is an agreement between two property owners of two different, but related properties. The covenant is supposed to be an agreement that basically ultimately benefits both people, but requires one person to bow to the needs of the...
