“Political correctness” is a concept invented by the privileged to transform basic respect into something political and therefore controversial.

So Sundays have become more like my ‘catch up on youtubers’ day >.>

Was browsing DIYs, in part because I could really use some help making my spaces both more organized, and, let’s face it, a bit more... inspired/personalized? 

Simultaneously I’ve been having a bad mental health day, you name it, crying at the drop of a hat, etc. I am sure it just has to do with being overwhelmed by the sheer amount of stuff I have to do.  tl;dr... paralyzed and unable to do any of it with all the hallmarks of anxiety. Yaay.

Then I came across this amazing DIY for... guess what! Anxiety. I really love the positive tone in the video, as well as how each of the DIYs help to remain positive, grounded, and focused on the good.

okay I feel like I'm the only person who knows that Mulan was a real person and not talked about enough

Her story goes mostly how the Disney version went, except she didn’t go to war as a quest for self-discovery or because she felt as though she couldn’t make her parents proud. The sole and only reason she disguised herself as a young man was to take her Father’s place in the war.

So when she told her parents that she wanted to this, they were like wtf no you’re a girl and it’s chaotic out there. And you know what she did? She put on male clothes and challenged her own Father to a duel. Her dad was like ‘who the hell are you’ but accepted. When Mulan won and revealed herself as his daughter, he was like wOAH okay you can go. Basically she made sure to get her parent’s consent before going, so not only are her parents awesome, she was decent enough to not leave them hanging for 12 years.

Yes, she was at war for 12 years, but she not in fact meet a handsome general. Instead she BECAME a general. Eventually the war was won, and the Emperor was so impressed by her he wanted to wed the Princess to her. It was only then that she revealed she was in fact a woman. Then she accepted the rewards and went right back home to her normal life. 

There is now even a crater on Venus named after her.

WORTH SEEING: This kid absolutely destroys the middle school gym floor with his taylorswift ‘Shake It Off’ dance. It’s refreshing to see a kid at that age not afraid to get out there and do his own thing. Enjoy.

Why I need feminism

*driving home*

Me: Let’s see what’s on the radio.

DJ: “It’s a tragic day for all men today—Leonard Nimoy died. Most boys had a Star Trek phase growing up. You girls probably have trouble telling the difference between Star Wars and Star Trek, but trust me, it’s a big deal that he’s gone.”

Me: …

Me: Seriously? What year is this?
