Women: "If men disappeared for one week, we could walk alone at 3 AM, wear anything at all, leave our drinks unattended, travel anywhere and actually feel free."
Men: "But who would protect you?"
Women: "Protect us...from who?"
Think not of the books you’ve bought as a “to be read” pile. Instead, think of your bookcase as a wine cellar. You collect books to be read at the right time, the right place, and the right mood.

There. Was that so fucking hard???
You got the Hughes BOYS out here whining that everything is "political" (while they wearTrump merch 🤡) when all they had to say was:
"We should've reacted differently. We understand why people are upset. We respect the womens team greatly and we'll do better in the future."
This "don't apologize" cause it's not manly bullshit narrative needs to take a flying fuck off a cliff Thelma & Louise style.
FINALLY time to renew my vehicle registration! I can't believe it's been a whole year since I paid $200 for the absolute privilege of driving the vehicle (that I paid for) on the roads (that I pay for), with the income left over after I give 40% to our moral superiors!
$40k a year used to mean you could own a home, raise kids, and have one parent stay home.
Today, $40k means a roommate or a storage unit.
That’s not progress.
So I know this is hard to believe but actually it really did used to hold a lot of academic merit when we had to perform true research and had critical thinking skills
I find it hard to believe we're debating whether ebooks count as real books at a moment when literacy has fallen off a cliff. I don’t care how you read, whether print books, ebooks or audiobooks. Read widely. Read daily. Read for any reason or none at all. Just read.
“Why are folks getting dumber?” Because they don’t read. “Why aren’t men as romantic & poetic as they used to be?” Because they don’t read. “Why are people so vulnerable to propaganda?” “Why is everyone a conspiracy theorist?” Because they don’t read. Because they don’t read.
unbelievably grim that you can ignore the prompt of an assignment to go on a barely coherent screed where you call your professor a "demon," then when your professor gives you undeservedly thoughtful feedback and a bad grade you can run to the media and get her placed on leave
