Google’s got this unannounced “gaydar” feature and someone else has got this “is your son gay?” app and unfortunately, none of them work as well as your gut, ladies.
do you ride a bike? what are your thoughts on cycling?
i don’t have a car so i ride my bike everywhere. so if i need groceries they go into the backpack, and anything that can’t fit into the backpack i just can’t have, ultimately.
i’ve always loved riding bikes – when i was a teenager, it was how i’d blow off steam when i was upset, and it was how i got to my friend’s houses.
i’ve also already had two bike accidents and my left wrist still isn’t all the way better from the more recent one, so idk. i wish i could afford a car, but for now, i like to feel the breeze on my face and even though it’s uphill on the way there, it’s downhill on the way back, and i like coasting. who doesn’t like coasting?
hilary duff? seriously? how in the hell are you the music editor?
when it comes to opinions about my music preferences I’m all out of fucks, so maybe you should channel this energy into being the change that you wanna see!

”We do not want to improve the actual system; we want a profound change – to stop seeing education as a consumer good, to see education as a right where the state provides a guarantee.”
It’s been a rough week for celesbians: Wanda Sykes had a double mastectomy following breast cancer, Ellen had chest pains, and you can relive the Leisha Hailey / Camila Grey Southwest situation as…

The answer lies within, grasshopper.
Riese, it’s my first semester of college. And I’m overwhelmed. I didn’t finish a paper for a class because I was too busy waiting by my phone seeing if she would text. Is this okay or…?
i know it’s my job to tell you that it’s okay, and everything you do related to your feelings is automatically okay – but no! There are times in life when you have to overcome the anxiety about a personal matter and just get down to work. It’s problematic to miss work or school because you’re fighting with someone – like a conflict is actively happening that you can’t tear yourself away from – but it’s super-duper-problematic to miss work or school because you’re waiting for a text message. ‘Cause then life is just stagnant. Like it’s just on hold. You’re not moving forward with her, you’re not moving forward with your work – and one should always do her best to move forward. Life is only so long and your education is extremely valuable.
You’ve gotta model through it. The good news is that schoolwork uses a totally different part of your brain than the waiting-for-texts parts, so just walk out of your lady-induced swamp and into another room and sit down and do your paper! I promise you – you can do it!
And that skill? The skill of being able to work despite whatever is happening in your personal life? That skill is essential. It might take time to develop, but when it does, life will improve exponentially, and will serve you better for life than this girl ever could.
when i was drunk, i told my friend i liked girls, but she didn’t believe me. how do i get her think i’m not lying?
well there’s the obvious, “Hey [friend], this is my girlfriend [girlfriend]. She’s the girl I have sex with! And watch Intervention with, also. How are you and what’s-his-name?”
ultimately it doesn’t matter if she believes you or not. you’re still you!
(also you could just hang up the kiss poster in your bedroom and call it a day)
Everything about her/this feels right, Laneia. the first time i saw her, it was a “YES, YOU” moment.
write it all down. now. keep writing about it.
