closer to the rain: Born This Way, and Reborn That... →
maishaparadox:
In the LGB and sometimes T and Q world, there is a rhetoric of identity stasis: I’ve always been this way. I was born gay and I will always be gay. It’s an understandable reaction to the dismissive phrase so often lobbed at us from the normative world: it’s just a phase.
It’s just a phase and…

This is a pretty naive question and I’m not trying to pour on the haterade here, but why is it that body dysmorphic disorders are pretty much the only psychiatric illness that have this gigantic internet pride movement? You don’t see “pro OCD” or “pro alcoholism” tumblrs and livejournals and forums the way you do with anorexia and bulimia.

SWIFTly growing sick of this, nyuk nyuk nyuk
So after a lot of the blogs I view have taken stabs at Taylor Swift, I went trawling around to figure out why. What exactly did she do? What’s so wrong with Taylor Swift? The answers I got ranged from “she can’t sing” (probably true, especially live) to “her songs are little more than a musical version of People magazine,” (definitely true: if you do a google...

So maybe I'm missing something about "Yoü And...
…but I sincerely believe that you could have thrown that song at any, any female country singer and it would have suffered no loss in quality. I’m confused as to why this, above the remaining songs on the album after Born This Way, Judas and The Edge of Glory, was pushed out as the fourth single - not that Lady Gaga’s lyrical content has always been top-notch (“Where are...

SEND LAWYERS, GUNS & MONEY: Nice Guys vs. nice... →
icarusone:
Super cogent, super long dissection of the Nice Guy vs. nice guy dichotomy that many men have difficulty understanding… “I have some news for you, Nice Guys of the world. “Nice” isn’t as much of a selling point as you’d think. In fact, for most women, it’s like expecting that your new car will come with wheels attached.”
Yes, yes, this, forever. I have known so many...

“Q. My three year old has been on GAPS for 15 months. While we have seen lots of improvements in his digestion, his behavioural problems still linger. He is moody, whiny, clingy and obsessive. There have been days here and there where I have seen his true personality – without all the behaviours – and those days were glorious! I want so badly for him to feel this way more often....

I’ve been trolling around the #postsecret tag for about an hour or so… call me a killjoy, but I really hate it when people pick out their “favorite secrets” and do their own little fucking commentary on them. To me, it totally ruins it. Worst of all, it’s usually people being like “this is totally selfish!” No shit? Maybe that’s why it’s their...

THAT'S BECAUSE THE TRUTH IS SAD
I found myself watching the latest vlogbrothers video and sitting, sighing, feeling inadequate, wishing that I could be cool enough or adventurous enough or smart enough to be interesting to other people, to make something bigger than myself, to make others want to know me and be around me and hear what I have to say… …and I realized that sounded really sad.

yepitscrissy:
What kind of teacher gives you homework when you’re not even in the damn class yet? Everything is soo messed up these days. If teachers actually tought kids instead of assigning them work then maybe we would actually get something out of school & maybe we would be take it seriously and be saying…
Aww, boo, let me guess, you have a summer reading assignment? Reading is...
