omg I’m doing research for one of projects for college, and apparently, girls learn better when they’re in an all girls class, but boys learn even worse when they’re in an all boys class, because all the negative things become even stronger of there are no girls to act as “buffer”

get rid of the boys and let girl learn in peace, i couldn’t care less about them

I have finished the cover of my book journal, designed the inner pages and made 2 sheets of stickers and a new bookmark to go with it.

Now begins a week of staring at the order cost in my cart on the printing company website and daring myself to believe that I won’t lose money on them..

you can only think women are being discriminatory and bigoted for refusing to have sex with a certain demographic if you believe that her body is a public resource that someone can wrongfully be denied access to - a facility that everybody should be allowed to use at will.
