inducedjoy asked: PS - any good recipes you'd like to share??
inducedjoy asked: I read what you wrote about celiac disease. I was diagnosed a year ago, after three years of being told that my debilitating stomach cramps were because I was overweight. I was considered for celiac testing, but I was told that it was a "thin-person's disease" and that it was highly unlikely I even had it. I'm sorry you had to go through so much for a diagnosis of what is...

it's a new dawn, it's a new day
Woke up early this morning with a thirst for political discussion re: gender, bodies, sexuality, health, liberties, rights etc. But I’m slowly realizing that this Tumblr of mine is not exactly the best venue for me to reflect on that. Though I’ve learned much through this specific Tumblr, I feel like the conversations I have and the things I reblog here are a side of me that is not too...

I find them on subways reading books I have on my list of Books To Read. I find them at bars dancing more enthusiastically than anyone else; even if they can’t really dance. I find them in line at the grocery store on a Friday night buying cookie dough, milk and that’s it. I find them in the Canadian poetry section of bookstores. I find them at work, having great ideas and...

When the Kenyan people placed their vote for the 2007 election, no one expected the catastrophe that followed. Many people disputed the election results, and violence broke out lasting for the next 59 days. 350,000 people left their homes and abandoned their belongings, becoming refugees in their…

Fine. Every time you rescue a kitten from a burning building, I will shave my legs. Deal?
But men have an obligation to rescue kittens from burning buildings, pay for your drinks, hold the door open for you, keep their hair neat, go to war and many other things. I’m just saying… Society worldwide really does put more obligations on men than women all around. There are few things women have to...

dictionaryofobscuresorrows:
n. the default expression that your face automatically reverts to when idle—amused, melancholic, pissed off—which occurs when a strong emotion gets buried and forgotten in the psychological laundry of everyday life, leaving you wearing an unintentional vibe of pink or blue or gray, or in rare cases, a tie-dye of sheer madness.

LouisTheCat: rick i didnt want to play this card but i think you probably are aware that our people are extremely powerful and can make things difficult for you
