Reblog if your illness does define you

Reblog if your illness has shaped your outlook on life and the world.

Reblog if your illness has warped your perceptions of people and social situations.

Reblog if your illness has altered some of the most fundamental aspects of your personality.

Reblog if your illness has impacted all of your relationships, and even been the reason for the beginning or end of some.

Reblog if your illness is often the cause of your moods and emotions, and affects nearly all of your moods and emotions in regard to other things.

Reblog if your illness has changed the strength of your virtues, from compassion and tolerance, to perseverance and determination, to gratitude and generosity.

Reblog if your illness has been a part of your life for so long that you honestly can’t differentiate the parts of your identity that are influenced by your illness from the parts that aren’t influenced by your illness.

Most importantly, please reblog this if you’re okay with your illness being on the incredibly long list of things that define you. Reblog if you don’t feel like your identity has to be completely undefined by your illness in order be valid. Reblog if you don’t necessarily like the parts of yourself that come from your illness, but don’t think that makes them any less you.

Stanford *TW: Sexual Assault and Rape*

I sat down this morning to finally go over the stories and reports regarding the Stanford rape case. I did this not only to catch up on news, but to educate myself. It is imperative for women to learn and educate themselves on the ways the legal world will twist and manipulate a horrid attack. By storing reports like these in the back of our minds, we're all better prepared if, God forbid, we find ourselves in similar situations. That sentence is almost painful to write. As women, we have to protect ourselves from not only what IS happening to us, but what COULD happen to us. We have to be on guard at all times. We don't and can't rely on others to watch over us. This is so wrong. We are meant to be brothers and sisters in arms. It is our social obligations to watch and protect. This means if you see something, say something. If someone is unable to protect themselves, it should be our social obligation to make sure they end up in a safe environment unharmed. The two gentlemen going for a quiet bike ride are perfect examples of what we all should strive to act like when faced with the difficult decision to step in and help or turn a blind eye. Heroes like these are hard to find. I hope they are examples for every person involved in this trial. To the defendant that committed this horrid act, the father that deemed it as "20 minutes of action", the lawyer that fought for the mugshot to be taken twice, the judge that deemed the defendant's future more important than the victim's- please look to these two men that stepped in and stopped the crime as examples of what you should strive to be. "20 minutes of action" may be just that to your son, sir, but it's 2 hours of terror and shame during the exam, 72 hours of fear waiting for STD results, and a lifetime of distrust, shame, and unnecessary guilt for the woman that was strong enough to face you in court. The mugshot that should be published should be the night you were taken in to custody, not the mugshot taken after your hair was combed and cleaned up, portraying you to be the "upstanding citizen" you clearly aren't. The six month sentence you received as to not have a "severe impact on your future" is laughable. Though you may not sit in a jail cell, serving time for the 3 felony charges you faced, you will still feel your punishment. In the age of social media, your name will always be tainted. When applying for a job, meeting future life partners, or introducing yourself to your new neighbors, your name will always have an asterisk. That asterisk will denote the one thing that will always follow your name, "Brock Turner, the rapist." Please let this court case set an example for all of us. Let the brave anonymous woman show us how to stand strong when facing adversity. Let the men that stopped the crime show us how to act as a bystander. Let the defense lawyer and judge show us that sometimes, the legal system fails us. In the end, it all boils down to "No" means no. And no response means no. It doesn't matter if you're dating them, married to them, just met them, or they work in the sex industry. It doesn't matter if you're in bed together, consent had already been given, or actions have already started. We always have the right to change our minds. And we must respect that. No or anything other than consent will always mean no.

Was waking next to someone the other day and heard their knee pop... It was like finding a hefalump

If I had a mating call it would probably be the snap, cracking and popping of my joints.
