FUCK
msgreenpiglet:
There are days where I have a compulsion to say fuck. A LOT.
Today is that day.

I was once told I needed to be more lady-like.
*grins*
Fuck that!
I love my potty mouth.
Deal with it.

Men Often Misread Women’s Sexual Cues
Are you laughing yet? A short study was done with US undergrads, here are the “conclusions”
Men who wanted a short-term sexual encounter were more likely to overestimate a woman’s desire for them.
Men who believed they were “hot” also thought the women were hot for them, but men who were actually considered attractive by women did not think...

“When you say my name,
I want to slit it from your lips
and hide like whispers in the rain.
When you say my name,
I want to stop it in your lungs
and collect all of your blood to put in the radio.”
Or maybe just…
“Keep my name out of your Damn mouth.”

A Few Notes on Those New Sexual Assault Statistics... →
Chances are, this morning, that you’ve seen the new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control statistics on sexual violence and domestic violence. Most notably, you’ve probably seen the new statistic that almost 1 in 5 women have experienced rape in their lifetimes.
That’s a terrifying statistic, though not a surprising one to those of...

No. 2: Leave “now” and “then” photos lying around
This is a highly effective way to draw attention to the explicit changes to her body as you see them. By consistently reminding her of how she used to look, she’ll inevitably be more inclined to do something about her excess flab. Appropriately chosen and strategically placed photos should accomplish this quite nicely.

silentpunk:
I really don’t understand your point about calories, all the diet articles that tell you to ‘cut calories’ and all those low calorie diets replace the carbs with protein or low-carb vegetables like celery or cucumber… so as far as I can tell this is a very high-calorie diet since it relies heavily on carbohydrates such as rice and potatoes.
That also goes along with what people...

Anonymous asked: those cheap vegan meals are not low in calories, me and my partner basically just eat rice, pasta and noodles and live incredibly cheaply but cos it is a high-carb diet, it's high in calories and we are putting on so much weight. Since we got together and became vegan we have gained about a stone in weight each! It's really dodgy you saying just by looking at the types of food that...

Anonymous asked: yeah I shop mainly at chinese and indian supermarkets because they are cheaper and independent and sell in bulk. Great for veganism.
midoriw asked: Re: 3$ a day vegan - Do you have any Asian supermarkets near you? If you can tolerate the cultural difference of supermarket style (namely scent, lack of English, and cleanliness/organization), they all have a lot of cheap produce, tofu, and noodles. The stuff in the pic is mostly likely all from an Asian food market. In my experience, prices at Japanese places tend to be higher than Korean which...
godspeedtesla asked: I actually wrote about the vegan post a couple weeks ago in my anger. It's interesting the different approaches we both immediately took in assessing the validity of the "experiment." I was focused on access, because the neighborhoods closest to me (south side Chicago) have little access to any grocery stores, or the transportation necessary to get to even big box stores. The whole...

My brother literally just said, “It’s OK if someone gets an abortion because they need to for medical reasons, but he’s against fashionable abortion.”
I think he was talking about Ron Paul at the moment, who he sides with a ton, but I zoned out for a second before that came up so I’m not positive.
But seriously? FASHIONABLE ABORTION? You think that’s a THING?
