"Please know that there are much better things in life than being lonely or liked or bitter or mean or self-conscious. Go love someone just because… I know your heart may be badly bruised, or even the victim of numerous knifings, but it will always heal even if you don’t want it to, it keeps going. There are the most fantastic, beautiful things and people out there, I promise. It’s up to you to find them."
-Chuck Palahniuk (via creatingaquietmind)‘Girl Meets World’ star Rowan Blanchard speaks out about the importance of intersectional feminism
A Tumblr user asked the 13-year-old Girl Meets World star about her thoughts on “white feminism” and the notion that the movement may exclude certain marginalized groups, like women of color and non-cis/queer women. Her full response shows she understands intersectional feminism better than most adults.

if you are reading this you are not in a coma, you are not dead or dreaming. your life is not a lie, your relationships are not a lie, your memories are not a lie. you are not a hallucination or glitch.
you exist.
you are alive.
the world around you exists and keeps turning.
if you can’t trust all of your senses pick one right now you consider the most reliable and stimulate that. for me this is touch and smell. splash water on yourself. eat something comforting. smell dirt outside. play your favourite song on repeat. stare at one panel of a comic book for a long time.
this world is real and so are you. you are real. so take care of yourself.

um.
WHEN SHE WON HER BOYFRIEND SCALED THE TOWER TO JOIN HER AND SHE HUGS HIM AND SAYS “I DID IT” IN THE CUTEST LITTLE KID VOICE EVER it’s the best.
LET IT BE KNOWN SHE IS ONLY 5 FOOT TALL! MEN WITH HUGE ARM SPANS FAILED AT TASKS SHE SUCCEEDED AT! I LOVE HER!
She wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts, but not for long because we are currently taking off our clothes surprise we’re lesbians.
At least that way we’ll be able to… together… come across some kind of redemption.
re: not wanting kids
i’ve seen a lot of pushback against “kid hating” lately, so let me just say a few things:
- i don’t particularly like kids
- they make me uncomfortable
- the idea of being responsible for the physical and emotional well being of a child freaks me out
- being pregnant is incredibly unappealing to me
- i wouldn’t want to screw up my kids or scar them in any way with my shitty parenting
- i don’t want to have to organize my personal/professional lifestyle and finances around my children for 21+ years
- i just don’t want kids
but
- i would never be mean to children
- i love other people’s kids
- i completely understand why other people want children
- i’m fully aware that many others struggle to conceive and i would never disrespect or belittle that pain
- i don’t think less of anyone for wanting kids
the idea that people who don’t want kids are inherently selfish, uncaring assholes is a lazy, misogynistic attempt to shame people (primarily women) for prioritizing personal goals and self care above parenthood. Choosing to have children doesn’t automatically make you more kind or selfless or fulfilled than people who don’t. Wanting to remain childfree is not the same as “hating kids,” nor does it mean you’re a horrible person. It’s a personal choice like everything else, so can we please stop being shitty about it?
