that is one of the most beautiful, touching things I have ever read. Thank you, anon. Thank you so much. Things like this give a bit of hope for myself, and it’s moments of hope like that that help me get better. Thank you :)

apoeticmindset:
think it’s romantic or awesome to give up their last name to take on their husband’s when they marry? Talk about owning someone. I personally find the idea of giving up my last name really uncomfortable. I’m Emma Reardon and taking away that name for somebody else’s would take something away from me.
Love shouldn’t mean giving up who your are and part of your identity to be...

What does the Arizona law do?

Perhaps inadvisedly, I went to go see Clash of the Titans with some friends.
It was roughly as awful as you’d expect, save a few nice visual flourishes. But what really stuck with me was Medusa.

Abstinence-only sex education in the United States teaches against usage of contraceptives, against pre-marital sex, and against teaching safe methods of sex to teenagers who will have it anyways. Sounds a bit like something heard in church youth groups, don’t you think? To make matters…
