STFU, Sexists.: On Hugo Schwyzer →
unknowablewoman: stfusexists: dr—grumbles: Out of all the men that have ever abused/raped me, many of them were addicted to one thing or another. It didn’t mean a damn thing when it came down to it. A lot of people in my life have been addicted to things and even more have had… I can’t make it reblog the entire conversation, but as an addict, I am thrilled to know that my...

NOT a doughnut.
KH came home tonight with some bags, and naturally, I inquired as to the contents. KH:  It’s something you have to try. Me:  OK! I reach inside, and pull out this: Me:  It’s… a giant doughnut? KH:  NO!  It’s NOT a doughnut.  It’s a krapfen. Me:  ok.  I mean, it looks like a giant jelly doughnut. I take a bite, and it tastes… doughnutty. Me:  Honey?...

Christmas Markets, Round 2, WITH PICTURES
Before I get started, let me add a couple of caveats: I am not a professional photographer I do not have professional photography equipment It’s HARD to take pictures of lit-up stuff at night without professional photography equipment My semi-pro-photographer Beloved did help me, but it took a while before I asked, so that’s why there is a sudden increase in picture quality We...

Just getting out some thoughts
farrahthesquid: I remember clearly the day mom told 3-year-old me everyone grows up when I proclaimed matter-of-factly that I was simply going to be a little kid forever.  I remember the knowledge sinking in, I remember bursting out in tears on the spot, I remember mom trying unsuccessfully to suppress her giggles as she scooped me up, kissed and consoled me and said reassuringly that it was...
