OKAY SO
I’m watching the Africa BBC documentary series with David Attenborough, and there’s a part where he’s talking about the swamps in east Africa. I’m excited and shit. Learning about new animals and enjoying little creatures live their live.
And then comes this mother-fucker right here:
This cruel bitch has TWO babies. One is all good and healthy, and the other is sickly. And I’m all “oh, survival of the fittest got it all good.”
BUT THEN my boy David goes all, “but this reveals a dark side. This isn’t a normal sibling rivalry.”
Turns out the healthy little fucker is literally PECKING THE HELL out of the little sick one to keep him sick. And I’m mad as hell. Like, fuck you little healthy fucker. Poor little sick baby.
AND THEN David says, “the mother sees what’s happening with the siblings,” and the little sick baby goes to its mother to be comforted, AND THIS HEARTLESS BITCH TURNS HER BACK ON HER POOR BULLIED BABY AND GIVES THE HEALTHY LITTLE ASSHOLE ALL OF THE WATER!!!
And I was all
And now I want to find every abandoned little sick shoebill baby and love it the way it deserves.

Here’s my #faithinhumanityrestored story: today at work was miserable. I wasn’t feeling well (allergies and a touch of lady probs) and I had a lot of work to do, so I was extra exhausted. The last thirty minutes of my shift, when I had all be given up being productive, a man and his son asked me for some recommendations. I had some suggestions for books, and was later introduced to the mom and daughter, who also wanted some suggestions. The son pointed out this book and asked me if I knew about it. I immediately lit up and told him how much I loved #rickriordan and all of his stuff and how happy I was about this new series. I told him that I had, unfortunately, not read this book, but could not wait for my next paycheck to buy it. The boy picked up the book and added it to his pile. I suggested a few more, and the family, arms full of books, thanked me and went to the registers to pay. About five minutes before my shift ended, I saw the son and daughter walking back up the my information desk, with this book in their hands. “We want you to have this book,” they said. “You helped us find so many great books, and you seemed really excited about this one. This seemed like the perfect thank you for all your help.” Anyone who knows me, knows I’m not an emotional person. I almost cried. I couldn’t believe how sweet these kids were! I thanked them, hugged them (another rare thing for me) and told them to come back soon, so I could give them a proper review of the book. It’s things like this that tell I’ve made the career choice! #lifeofabookseller #arushahandtheendoftime #bookworm

You know what I really fucking hate?
That, from a young age, I was taught that modesty will get you ignored and anything less will get you raped. I was taught that bras and panty-lines should be invisible, because otherwise, I’m “asking for it.” And it is so ingrained into me, that every day I fret about what to wear and whether or not my outfit that day will provoke a man to rape me. I worry about my long legs and my tiny waist. I worry about girls hating me and men jerking off to me. I worry about my butt being too big. Not because I don’t want to be fat. But because I don’t want to be raped. It’s part of every thing I do. I am so afraid of men looking at me, in case I accidentally ignite the uncontrollable male urges and get taken in some parking lot.
I love crop tops and short skirts and little high waisted shorts. I love bikinis and twirly short dresses, but I am so afraid of being leered at, that I never wear half of the shit in my closet.
THIS is what rape culture is. This is what the patriarchy looks like. Teaching girls of being afraid to be themselves in case they MAKE MEN WANT TO RAPE THEM. So don’t fucking tell me “not all men.”

Sex isn’t always hot and heavy with explosive orgasms
Sex can be a slow burning in the depths of your soul. It can just feel good. To be close to the person you care about. To hold them in your arms and feel them on every inch of you. It doesn’t have to be a sexual awakening EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. It doesn’t have to be intense to be good either.
There is so much pressure for women to have orgasms. And I get it. I am 100% on board with women’s rights and orgasms and knowing about our anatomies. It’s all extremely important (clits exists; let’s use them).
BUT, as someone with anxiety, the pressure to have AMAZING SEX is so overwhelming that, often, I don’t even ENJOY sex. And it isn’t my partner. He’s wonderful. It’s my anxiety building up all of these expectations. It’s frustrating that I can’t feel close to him, because society says if I don’t orgasm, then it’s not good sex and my partner doesn’t care about me. THAT IS WRONG. Sometimes, it just doesn’t happen. And sometimes, it doesn’t happen for a LONG TIME. If you want to have sex, then HAVE SEX. If it feels good, great! If it doesn’t, stop.
That is my rant for the day. Thanks for reading.
