[[MORE]]You know what I hate more than anything? Being criticised by people who don’t actually know a thing about my situation, although they think they know it all. Fuck off.

I’ve made no secret of my utter loathing for PETA’s vile misogyny, but their track record with the actual animals they claim to support is laughable, too. Go ahead and send some letters/emails via the link above.

I need feminism
whoneedsfeminism:
because the whole concept of the “friendzone” disgusts me. I’m particularly disgusted with how men feel like they are somehow wronged or betrayed by a woman if their friendship doesn’t end in sex, when it was ultimately the woman who was betrayed by who she thought was a friend.

materialpossibilities:
You know what? I’m a vegetarian but I never ever look down on other people for eating meat. Plenty of times, I’ve seen vegetarians talk down to others and I always hated that.
I always respect people and expect the same respect in return so if you say something like “What’s wrong with you?” in regards to my choices and my morals then I’m going to treat you in the exact...
tentaclesandteacups:
Hurt ~vegan~ feels isn’t going to compensate for your internet douchebaggery. If you can’t see how militantly forcing your puritanical views onto other people is the same as the Bible thumpers who tell inked folk we’re all going to hell, I don’t think we can be friends :/

My plans for my education change so often. I think I’ve finally got my heart set on a pathway, though. It’ll be hard to pull off, and not to mention fit a relationship and a (potential) family around, but I think it can be done.
Family, eh? ;)
You…
I KNOW. We’ve spoken about this before!
GOOD.

sirwobblington asked: God damn I love that post about chronic fatigue. I'm constantly being asked why I don't play netball anymore, and then after I explain why, I get odd looks as if I've made up the illness or as if I'm using it as an excuse and that I'm just actually lazy. I enjoyed playing netball. I miss having energy and not being so exhausted all the time. I wish I was making up having...
I'm just sorry. →
awakeinthenight:
I never really think of myself as having an illness. I just think of it being something that I have to deal with. But today I really feel like it’s an illness. I honestly feel sick. It’s something I literally have no control over. I mean I can do things to help with the symptoms: medicine, therapy, abstain from drugs and alcohol, get enough sleep, etc, but none of that is...
Bad Advice...
thefrogman:
People with an invisible illness often have to deal with suggestions and advice that imply they are not really sick, rather they just aren’t trying hard enough to get better. Sometimes people are genuinely trying to be helpful, but they don’t take the time to learn about the illness before giving their advice.
I thought I would post a comment exchange I had with a very condescending...

Sometimes its really hard to be a vegan.
Like, for example, when other vegans flaunt their privilege all over the place and refuse to recognize it. Or when they assert their own unquestionable moral superiority and try to shame non-vegans. Or when…
I am so glad somebody has said this. So glad.

[[MORE]]There is a pretty significant amount of time where I wish I had somebody to talk to about anything and everything. I wish I could actually talk to people without annoying them by feeling sad a lot. I wish I actually felt like I could relate to someone.

[[MORE]]For the first time in my life, I actually want to lose weight. I’m currently 154 cm and 46.5 kg, making my BMI 19.6. I want to lose about 1.5 kg, bringing my BMI back down to 19. I’d only ever intended to gain about 4-5 kg when I decided to gain weight, but I didn’t realise it would be this easy to gain the weight… And now I need to lose a little...
