there is nothing romantic about

  • not knowing you’re beautiful 
  • loving someone until they learn to love themselves

please stop romanticizing low self esteem.

it’s one thing to love a person who happens to have low self esteem

it’s another thing to frame low self esteem as a desirable trait.

Remember the psychiatrist who defended the cop who wanted to kill “misandrist lesbians”?

Today I was telling her about how much I hate adults who start relationships with teenagers, and I gave her the example of my college roommate who had been dating someone 9 years her senior since she was 16.

And she said, “well, some men are awkward and shy among women their own age and feel more comfortable with someone at their own level of experience.”

Oh, hey, guess what? I’m shy and awkward among women my own age, I’m inexperienced sexually, and yet I have absolutely no desire whatsoever to enter into a relationship with a teenager.

Attention, everybody: there is more to life experience than sexual experience. A 25-year-old virgin and a 15-year-old virgin are in no way on a level playing field.

I am so fucking sick of people making up these bullshit excuses for why their terminal loneliness means that it’s okay to be a total fucking creep because they’re desperate for sex.

You know what, it is not the job of other people to suffer for your loneliness.

I know how much it sucks to be lonely. I didn’t speak at all last summer because I had no one to talk to. But never in my downward spiral of loneliness, not even when I was at my lowest point emotionally, did it ever occur to me to make myself feel better by trawlin’ for ass around the high school.

You’re not lonely or misunderstood. You’re a creep. The end.

Yahoo Board to Meet Sunday to Consider $1.1 Billion, All-Cash Deal to Acquire Tumblr

I laughed at this:

Tumblr resisted advertising for its formative years, and its user base seems particularly unwilling to accept standard banner ads. In addition, many industry observers think that Tumblr’s pages are packed with porn and/or other questionable content that would scare off advertisers.

Academic Secrets

By chance you come across an academic journal article online that needs to be paid for (something like $25-$40), lots of times you can take the author’s name from the article, google them for their email, and ask if they can send you their article b/c you’re interested in their work. More often than not, they’ll say ‘cool’ and send it as an attachment.

Heads up!

As a grad student who has published - absolutely

we don’t get any fucking money directly from publishing, it’s all about the lines on our CV to us. So please do try this route! And if you can’t get that — hit me up and I’ll try to get it through my school connections. 

I will always do what I can to help someone out. Fuck the ivory tower.

there was an article in jezebel about that scum in ohio who kidnapped/abused women and jezebel said that if the men had had more “sex-positivity” in their lives they could have found partners willing to do that stuff with them. poor men

then one of the comments said the police shouldn’t be blamed for their lack of response because you don’t know when you see stuff like that if it’s kidnapping or someone’s kink

so given the way the third wave validates everything men wants to do to women and has absolutely no criticism of sexuality involved maybe fourth wave feminism IS jezebel

That fact that people calling themselves feminists can not only support sex acts that can’t be meaningfully distinguished from actual crimes but think the proper response is to not even CHECK makes me want to cry.

What the fuck is going on. How dumb is the electorate?

I was honestly expecting the NDP to do better,* but tbh a lot of people I know, even people who always vote NDP, were really angry at the NDP over how the HST referendum went down.

* That said, a lot of polls said my riding had a good chance of going NDP and my reaction was wow these polls are really inaccurate. And I was right.

A general rule-of-thumb for NDP/Labour/ even vaguely leftish parties is to look at the poll that has the worst results, apparently. Find the pollster who has them on the lowest and assume that… It’s worked every time with elections since ‘45, apparently it’s to do with silent tories or liberal splits or something…

Every poll was pegging NDP win though. Pollsters are in conniptions (1, 2) on Twitter.

My reaction to the 48% turnout

  • how is it that low
  • oh wait I nearly decided not to vote—despite the fact I’ve voted in every election I’ve been able to vote in and that I’m a politics nerd
  • yeah okay I guess I can’t judge
