I don’t care that you got into drugs for three months straight, or how much sleep you lost in that period. I don’t care that you went home and fucked that person and woke up at 6am hating everything about yourself, or that you smoked so much you sounded as though your lungs were giving out.
You’re not a bad person for the ways you tried to kill your sadness.
You’re just human, and being human means you need to survive and you do so whichever way you deem fit, fuck everyone else.
Gisella Perl was forced to work as a doctor in Auschwitz concentration camp during the holocaust.
She was ordered to report ever pregnant women do the physician Dr. Josef Mengele, who would then use the women for cruel experiments (e.g. vivisections) before killing them.
She saved hundreds of women by performing abortions on them before their pregnancy was discovered, without having access to basic medical supplies. She became known as the “Angel of Auschwitz”.
After being rescued from Bergen-Belsen concentration camp she tried to commit suicide, but survived, recovered and kept working as a gynecologist, delivering more than 3000 babies.
honestly it doesn't even feel like it ended
Harry Potter will probably just be one of those things which shall never have an end and i like the thought of that
Oh look it’s 2016 and I’m still emotional about Harry Potter
I read through the whole thing and MAN AM I GLAD I DID
Spring is here! Tips for getting that summer body you have always dreamed of.
-Scope out your options ahead of time, long before tshirt weather arrives. Advance planning is a must!
-Find somebody who inspires you and has their shit together. It’ll make for a much easier transition into a new lifestyle when you take over their body. Highjacking the body of someone who lives paycheck to paycheck is only recommended for very experienced bodysnatchers with background in method acting.
-Chose adults. Bodysnatching children under the age of 16 is often considered bad form. Ethics aside, children are often closely monitored for behavioral changes and allowed less freedom than adults, making them unsuitable candidates. Although the idea of reduced responsibilities and being taken care of is appealing to many would-be bodysnatchers, the costs quickly outweigh the benefits, and many lazy snatchers report being forced into soccer practice and other tedious after school activities.
-Parents with young children and other dependents should also be avoided. You will arouse a lot of suspicion if you suddenly fail in your responsibilities as caretaker and may attract serious legal trouble if found negligent.
-By extension, be very careful about pets. There have been reports of dogs and some cats apparently detecting their owners’ mental intruders. Dangerous and/or exotic animals may pose special needs that inexperienced bodysnatchers will be unable to meet.
-College students can be very good targets for beginners. Not only do they often have meal plans, easy access to parties, and some social cushioning, but they’re away from home and expected to be going through major personal changes. No one’s going to notice if they suddenly become someone else. Most importantly, many college students are stressed to the point that they welcome possession as a release from academic and personal responsibilities. This can lead to a very satisfying arrangement for both parties. While it is certainly preferable to make actual effort in the school, it is also possible to coast by for a semester and then jump into a new host during summer or winter vacation. Some bodysnatchers have spent many happy years simply jumping between college freshmen.
-Rehearse, rehearse, rehearse! Nothing is more awkward than botching your ritual. Make sure you have all your supplies and can clearly and accurately recite the incantation. Mispronunciations and expired ingredients can lead to unexpected and sometimes dangerous consequences - one infamous example is of Arthur Welch, a minor Australian occultist who accidentally invited the consciousness of his target’s pet cane toad into his own mind and was unable to rid himself of the unwanted mental companion. Although Welch was eventually able to bring his condition under control, he had to be institutionalized during breeding season each year for the rest of his natural life.
Honestly folks back home in South Asia need to stop with the whole “cultural appropriation doesn’t bother me.” Not because your voice doesn’t matter or that we think we’re better than you, but because you don’t know how cultural appropriation affects the diaspora.
You haven’t felt the racism we have felt in our everyday lives. You have not seen how the bullies who used to pick on you for bringing sabzi to class and belittled your heritage are now using your culture as a commodity for them to consume.
There are things you do not experience because you are not in diaspora, and that is not your fault, but if you can’t be supportive towards your diasporic brothers and sisters, at least don’t tear us down or support the folks that do so.

this is so inspirational. i love this community! Here's to us Indian women! #reclaimthebindi
When my mom first saw this picture of me, the first thing she said is
“Jackie, you look so dark!”
Yes, I am dark. In fact, I’m darker than most Indian people I’ve come across in my life. At times, I was self conscious from the teasing and the taunting. The slathering of fair and lovely, the threats to stay out of the sun, the comments from other family members, being turned down by various men because of the color of my skin. There were days where I wished I could unzip my skin and step into a new, beautiful, lighter one. One that promised beauty,attention, and approval.
That was the old me.
It took me a long time to get out of that mentality and once I did I felt like a weight had been lifted off of me. Although my journey to self-acceptance is far from over, I have come to love the deep skin tone I was blessed with.
I am beautiful and I’m a proud South Indian woman.
this is beautiful wow i actually smiled after the shit day i was having
Look. I know a slightly chewed up flower isn’t quite on par with those brandy barrels alpine rescue dogs purportedly have, but someone might need an emergency flower or something. It could happen.
