Racism and YA books
ETA: Thanks so much for the suggestions and help guys! I really appreciate everything. To clarify: this event was just sort of dropped on me and I'm doing the best I can with what I've got, but I don't have much power in this situation and I want to make sure that we can have an intelligent, respectful discussion and…
Hello Australia (White Men Are The WORST)
So I’m watching Aussie rules footy tonight (it’s like football with rugby and basketball?

FAT CATERPILLAR IS MARRIED!
And now Mr Fat Caterpillar's family expects me to change my name. His grandfather commented on some random FB post (ABOUT FUCKING CORGIS, WHO WANTS TO BRING SOMETHING AS AMAZING AS CORGIS DOWN LIKE THAT???) that I wasn't a (maiden name) now, and that I needed to hurry up and change my name on Facebook.
Happy Endometriosis Awareness Month!

Menstrual cup giggles...
Soooo… this is completely unimportant but a lot of girls in a couple different endo support groups I belong to on the Book of Face have been talking about menstrual cups quite a bit lately, and someone linked to this HuffPo article, and I basically cannot get over how they refer to cups as being "goblet-shaped".
Have you ever wanted to see someone have a meltdown in real time???
EDIT: Thank you guys so much for the help and advice- I've got an action plan for today (after I get a couple of hours of sleep) and some great suggestions for shipping stuff in bulk overseas. You guys area all amazing and wonderful, and I'm so grateful to be part of this community. Please take all of my love. TAKE…
HOLY SHIT GUYZ, I'M ALMOST THERE!!!!!!

NEW STAR WARS TRAILER!!!!!! THE DAY IS GOOD AND NO ONE CAN KILL MY GLEE!
Until I go to work tonight but whatevers, I am wearing my new Star Wars leggings from Black Milk so you can't hurt me. I WILL NERD FOREVER.
Everything is entirely the fault of fat people
Including one woman's brave journey into the scary land of fatness by eating a whopping 6500 calories a day to prove a point- fat people are fat because fat people want to be fat.
