I’m really bad at flirting with people and actually generating words that make sense out of my mouth when I’m attracted to someone. I will say some of the most ridiculous things in hopes that it looks or sounds charming. I’m just really bad at this stuff. I’ll say something like, “wow. you look delicious” or “wow. you taste delicious” or something....

Vietnamese street food is some of the best food I’ve ever had in my life.
Until I can actually expand on the places where I get street food, I stand with my statement. Street food in generally is really good though.

OKAY Y’ALL
Had something of substance then I realized I’m too tired for substance.
Just got off of a conference call with the peeps about Sunday’s conference and how we need to work towards better handling situations where we are unsatisfied with the leadership instead of making extensive cons lists.
There is a vigil tomorrow at downtown’s Marshall park right by the MLK...

Sometimes the people that come into my workplace are so cute that I want to ask them for a photo-op.
Has everyone seen the sittin’ on the toilet video?
It’s hilarious.
sittin’ on the toilet. sittin’ on the toilet. sittin’ on the toilet.
Why do I care so much about your life? God.
Being in the car for roughly 8 hours this past week to drive out of Charlotte has really got me excited about driving soon. I’ve been really freaked out about getting behind the wheel because I’m almost convinced that the steering wheel weighs 60 million pounds and I will hit everyone on the road. But after traveling for really cool things this past week, I’m excited now to have...
There are many discussions going on (on tumblr)...
projectqueer:
Can anyone rightfully justify this for me?
Now, I know that there are other terms that one can use to describe ignorance/hatred towards the homosexual community, like ‘heterosexism’ - for example. But how does one justify the word ‘homophobia’ as ableist? I do not get it.
The simple fact is: There are people in the world who fear the gay community. They are taught this fear,...
besttumblr said: <3 to you doing all this work, especially during (if I recall correctly) high school! Very impressive. PS I just got into grad school at Chapel Hill— if I end up moving to NC, remind me to come shake your hand or something.
Thank you, and yes you’re...

Releasing some super top secret information. Except not really, sorry.
TOY is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year! The theme is PLATINUM. I’m on the prom planning committee and I don’t think that I’m the person best fit for the job. Even if I’ve planned the other prom we had and the parties we’ve had; the best thing I can do is buy chips and tell me people...
This is terrorism, right? Guy attempts to bomb...

I’ve got hours at work for the majority of this upcoming week with the exception of Tuesday because I have a speaking engagement and I have to do a call to action at a vigil. DOLLAZ Y’ALL DOLLAZ.
This weekend I’m going out for Ethiopian dinner with Laurie, her baby, and her wife, along with prego Mary and her wife, and Dang. Dang’s birthday is coming up and I haven’t...

I was going to pull out the shorts today seeing that I pulled out the capris yesterday, but I don’t think I’m ready for that risk just yet.
I am finally moving back upstairs. And by back upstairs I mean to the top bunk. Finally, progress is being made.
Erykah Badu - On and On
I will be in Chapel Hill tomorrow at a conference from 11am to 5pm on immigrant rights/inclusive access to higher education. I’m not too excited about getting up at 6am. But y’know, it’s worth it.
I’m using a textnow app on my iPod. So, you should text me at 605-574-7828 because here’s me making an effort to talk to people. :^)
This new Iron & Wine album is pretty good. It’s really different, but pretty good.

rabbleprochoice:
Just give your baby up for adoption if you don’t want to be a parent!
Adoption is an alternative to parenting. Abortion is an alternative to not being pregnant. Some people cannot physically carry a pregnancy to term or to viability due to serious health concerns. Other women just don’t want to be pregnant. Going through a pregnancy is extremely difficult, anyone who says it...

kevinandahalf:
i cannot relate to most gay people. i would rather talk about shakespeare than about britney spears. i would rather watch slow movies than wave my dick around. i prefer shades of gray to glitter and rainbows. i don’t need alcohol to have fun and i don’t like to dance. i don’t mean to offend anyone who likes britney...

I don’t know when this photo was taken but it’s shameful that in a world where we waste food and materials that this photo is even possible. This is fucking bullshit…sometimes I just want to stick up the whole planet….on some Robin Hood shit.

EQUITY AND EQUALITY, Y’ALL.
I had the best lunch of my life today at Mellow Mushroom. I had a Portobello sandwich. There were spinach leaves, bean sprouts, portobello mushroom caps, and sun dried tomatoes piled onto wheat bread.
In regards to the last quote:
I personally feel like when we accuse people who are bigots in any sense of the word as being insecure about themselves (i.e a anti-lgbtq republican must be gay because he’s so anti-lgbtq), we are giving them too much room to freely move about with their actions and words. We are giving them too much sympathy for the verbal and possibly even the physical...

– Leora Tanenbaum, Slut! Growing Up Female with a Bad Reputation (via dr-clear-heels) (via femaletroubled)
It hurts my heart to hear anyone call a woman a slut, but it also makes me laugh because what they really mean is that she’s free to live a life they won’t allow themselves

I missed one question on my French final exam. I chose sommes prises instead of avons pris.
My life, it has ruined.
