Uggggh I watched that speech. The NRA is the fucking worst. This isn’t national, or news, but today was gorgeous out and I grilled with my lovely grad school friends and we had a great time, BBQing, drinking beer, lounging in the sun, playing with the two adorable dogs and one adorable baby, and generally enjoying…

As a short girl who’d been terrified of long dresses til last summer — they look amazing!

He is gorgeous. He has seriously amazing eyes.

Headphones as a separate small tattoo on a matching part of your body?

White tattoos on pale skin tend to look more like scars in my opinion, but I kind of like them *more* for that.

Yes, I have a one year rule — the longest I’ve stuck with an idea so far is about 7 months. So who knows.

In the interest of taking care of yourself, this sounds weird, but check out Al-anon. I am not at all religious and it wasn’t generally my scene, but I am someone who tends to feel like if anyone I love is suffering, I am not allowed to be happy. When I found out about my brother’s addiction I kind of lost it, and…

Buy jeans etc from brands that use men-style-sizing (i.e., 28w/32l); way more consistent/easy to predict.

Woooo! I am already physically deteriorating at 26 (back issues), but I am also figuring out my hair (massive amounts of crazy to tame, without ever wanting to straighten it bc I love my curls).

I massively fucked up my back from stress and posture, and since then, I have been better at taking care of myself mentally, bc stress is just so deadly and I was off my feet for a month bc of it. But doing that puts a dent in both academics and physical health. I’m decent at eating oookay, but terrible at the gym…

Maybe do it less extreme than he does. Eat your at home meals paleo, and your not at home meals, whole foods but not pale (no ice cream, but pizza from a place w nice ingredients).

Water, salty things, drinks w electrolytes. Aloe on your skin if it’s at all burned.

grad school is SO BAD FOR YOU

My mom’s a Yankees fan and my dad is a Red Sox fan, that’s their thing. That and the fact that my mom is a normal person who drives 5-10 miles over the speed limit and my dad is an insane person who slams on the breaks for yellow lights.

...Cajun style.

I asked an econ major this question a couple years ago, and he recommended ‘The Little Book of Economics’ by Greg Ip. Still haven’t read it, but it’s on my list.

It’s...it’s almost like people can be NUANCED and have multiple facets to their identity or something? Crrrrrazzzzzy.

Wooot, Polish/Russian (and Syrian) over here!
