This is the best! And so focking accurate!!
My students are taking a midterm. And I’m shaking with laughter. Fuck. Too real. This post ruined my illusion of being a stoic teacher proctoring an exam.
not to take a joke post seriously but this is literally the ideal period humor because
1.) no gendered language
2.) no assumption that people only use tampons (weirdly prevalent??? in discussions about periods)
3.) Thor is here and Thor makes everything better

2 years ago
Facebook is good to remember good memories, kinda sucky to remember the not so good ones. 2 years ago I was in the midst of heartbreak and trying to figure it all out. And by it, I mean my life, my tattered relationship, and everything that encompassed the two. I hardly remember the sadness I felt, luckily. I was trying as hard as I could to get the two of us back together again, I think because I felt such guilt about hurting him. I’d spent two years of my adult life with him and I wasn’t sure how to navigate life without his reassuring words and actions. I am amazed to see the change I’ve made within, in these 2 years. I’d never hurt Brian the way that I hurt Dowain, or use Brian the way that I think I used a couple other people. Maybe it’s maturity. I learned a lot about tact, and compassion and empathy 2 years ago too. Hurting him and everything after was meant to happen. I may be just as lost as I once was but I’ve gained so much. I hope he has too. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about him, honestly. I don’t know if it’s because of residual love or what but God I hope that he is able to find his one. His person to tell everything to, be confided in completely, laugh with every day and never go to bed angry with each other. It’s such a secure feeling and he deserves that security. Not because I hurt him, but because he was always good. I just wasn’t good for him. The age and maturity difference and experience difference just turned out to be our downfall.

Athena blessed her with the ability to protect herself and men beheaded her for it.
That’s actually a really intetesting intpretation of it I hadn’t thought of. Most people seem to think Athena turned Medusa into a gorgon as punishment for defiling her temple, but thinking that she did so to protect her from being abused again is interesting and I like it!
Athena’s hands were tied. Yes, she was a powerful Goddess, but she was very much a woman in a “boys club”, and the true offending party (don’t think for a moment that Athena blamed Medusa for being raped in the temple, Athena knows better) held all the cards. There was nothing that Athena could do to punish the true criminal, and she was expected to punish Medusa by everyone else. What’s a Goddess to do when she cannot punish those who need to be punished and is expected to punish not only the truly innocent party, but her most beloved follower? Use that incredible brain power she had to protect Medusa at all costs, and of course the men would see it as punishment, to be have her beauty stripped from her and sent to live in the shadows. Medusa should have been KILLED for supposedly defiling the temple, whether she truly did or not, but she was given the gift of life, and the ability to protect herself and her daughters (who she bore thanks to Poseidon). This is why Medusa’s image was used to signify woman’s shelters and safe houses.
Medusa means “guardian; protectress”, and she was.
holy shit.
Feministic mythology is what I’m here for

Receipt on 10
Saw my ex just now, he came up to get a receipt for his gas which meant that he had to come and see me. When he drove by he asked me if they had made me manager out here yet. Told him I have to stop smoking weed first but that I don’t want to stay here necessarily. Or at least I don’t think that I want to stay in the fuel center anymore. He cut his hair, but besides that he still looks like the same guy that I was with years ago now. We chatted for a little while he said he’s bouncing back that he still is at the job but wants to do subbing and he would get $100 a day instead of $60 a day. He said that he likes my hair, and asked if that was a recent change and we both laughed when I said that I had forehead bangs, and it was really terrible. I’m sad when I think about him because I know that I really did hurt him, and that it’s a really terrible reflection of who I was at the time. I try so hard to be a decent and kind and loving person. But I still managed to hurt one of the people that I love. So maybe I’m not as good as I hoped and thought that I was at the time. I just hope I’m making up for it now..

Mama didn’t raise a quitter.
My mom didn’t raise a quitter, she did however raise a woman who has no idea what she wants to do with her life. Someone who looks around her and sees that there are many possibilities for so many people out there, but can’t see any possibilities for herself. They say do what you love and what sets your heart on fire, but what if nothing does that for you? Every mild interest that I have is not something that could lead me to happiness and stability of forever. I like books but I don’t love books enough to do something with them everyday. I just hate that I don’t see a future in my mind when I think of things hypothetically. It’s not that I don’t see a future for myself, because I know somehow I will make it. But you can’t fail it something if there is nothing for you to fail at. I don’t want to wait till I’m 50 to find something that I love and I don’t see any other way that it’s going to be right now.
