Sometimes We (i) Forgot

The tradition that love is "woman's whole existence" is challenged by a new assumption, a refusal to admit that any human being's happiness can be completely dependent on one other human being. When Salima, a young woman of Turkestan, accepted a scholarship to study in Tashkent, her husband ordered her to return, and, on her refusal, divorced her, boasting by letter that he had taken another wife "obedient and illiterate." Salima showed her quality by replying: "I received your letter telling me that you have another wife. I will have my revenge. When I finish my studies I will come back to the village and teach your second wife to read and write."

this is the world ive brought my child into, what are we to do? but support them wholeheartedly

kids these days are resorting, due to the lack of third spaces, to an activity known as fishwindowing, which is when you go to your local big box supermarket and map out the blind spots in the surveillance cameras so you can come back later with a comically oversized trench coat and ask for the biggest whole fish that the deli section will give you, and then you shoplift it to take it home and freeze it. when it's fully frozen solid, you take it to the home of one of your local congressional representatives while they're on vacation and chuck it through the window so they come home to a broken window and a rotting mess of fish. which is of course a crime but what can you do? what is this world or our society coming to? we used to have values

Daily schedule:

Wake up on the problematic side of the bed

Eat a harmful breakfast

Log onto tumblr and reblog posts from abusive mutuals

Attend narcissistic classes

Watch an irredeemable movie

Listen to offensive music

Eat a cancelled dinner

Go to sleep derogatorily

Have dreams that will have aged poorly by the time I wake up

Also, spending taxpayer money to provide food is "extremist" but spending taxpayer money to hire cops to guard dumpsters to prevent homeless people from eating for free is "the way we do things".

Skyrim was right: soup DOES heal you for 10 points of health and 10 points of stamina.
