Y’all making women in their thirties feel old is my villain origin story actually

I see a lot of people who tell young people–especially young people who are heading into college–that they should “do what they love.” And they’re right. You should do what you love.

But there’s a world of difference between doing what you love for you, and doing what you love for a paycheck. 

I went to undergrad for graphic design and 3-D design–art and more art, I usually say–and I loved it. You know what I didn’t love? Trying to collect my fees from clients. Trying to meet unrealistic, over-simplified or over-specific briefs from people who didn’t know what they were talking about. Coming home, having worked creatively all day, with no creative juice left for the things I wanted to do.

You know what I would tell you instead? Do something that you can be interested in, with people you like.

You don’t have to love it. Loving your work can be a lot, and it often means you have to live in your job 24/7. Some people can do that. Not everyone can, or should.  But if you can find work that’s interesting enough that it doesn’t feel tedious, and people you can enjoy spending your 9-5 with, and you can make money, that’s great! It means you can do the things you love for you.

I’m in law school now. It’s interesting work, and difficult, and I like doing it. I like how complicated it gets, and I like the stories it tells. But I don’t come home and read law journals for fun. I come home, and I sculpt, and I draw, and I paint, and I read. I do these things for me.

And I love it.

Can we normalize being quiet for no reason. No tension, no issues, just quietness. Simple.

btw the majority of your life will be lived as a adult. yeah i don't make the rules. go have fun in your 40s or 70s or whatever. no one expects you to accomplish everything at 17 or 27. you've got time and in the meantime get some life experience, it will pay off

Reblog if you think it’s okay to platonically say “I Love You” to your friends

Hate when websites are like "We see you have adblock. Will you turn it off..For Us? 🥺" Like stop being desperate I am married to ublock origin

Changing my belief system from "this is the hill I'll die on" to "this is the hill I'll kill you on" has done absolute wonders for me 10/10 do recommend

It angers me so deeply when the most beautiful incredible people behave like they have no self worth. Fuck the world for doing this to so many people

If I told a man he had to cook, clean and take care of children all day with no pay, he’d think that’s being a domestic slave. But if I told him a housewife would do it for him it would be totally fine.

If I told a man he had to be bound and gagged naked while being whipped and penetrated, he’d be shocked, of course it’s inhumane abuse. But that same man may very well go home that night and masturbate to that very thing done to a woman on a porn site.

Exploitation, inequality and abuse are only taken seriously when it is a man on the receiving end. On both ends of the spectrum, subjugation is the natural state of woman.

Always ask: who benefits?
