Mary Shelley, Frankenstein. (via riverran)

#mary shelley #this quote though #it’s all kinds of wonderful #hey remember that time one asswipe was like you have 30 seconds to name something invented by a woman… #…and Mary was like SCIENCE FICTION MOTHERFUCKERS #that was awesome #thanks Mary Shelley (via snappily)

And the next time someone starts claiming that teenage girls have ruined the horror genre with romance or whatever you can be like, hey dicksmack, teenage girls and romance built your genre so sit the fuck down. (via sharpestrose)

Mary Shelley fucking invented your favourite genre motherfuckers. You owe her Kirk and Vader and every goddamned thing Joss has ever done that’s made you cream your pants. Created when she was a teenager cause, hey, that’s how she rolled. She took love and showed it as the powerful, terrifying, all-encompassing, ruthless, wrathful thing it is. (via piinboots)

And I would like to add:

Whenever I remember that Shelley was 19 when she wrote frankenstein I’m like “shit why haven’t I written a best-selling novel that creates a whole new genre yet”

friday was a good night

on friday i was druuuuuuuunk. and sad. i’m a sad drunk (and a sad sober these days). so at the end of the night i took a moment to go outside, sit on the curb and breath and tear up and think. and who should come out and sit down next to me?

it was one of the most cinematic moments of my life. two very drunk people, at least one of them very sad and feeling very honest. it looked like this:

me: would you have fucked me in september?

him: i’m not sure….

me: because i felt like there was interest, attention…

him: i just really wanted you to like me

me: i really hate you

him: i know

and we sat for a while and he kept me company while i was sad and i told him about my last philosophy crush and i think he said things about wanting to be a less shitty person but i wasn’t really paying attention after the initial exchange because that was basically all i needed to say.

and the next day i woke up with no regret. and none the day after that. and no fear about the next time i see him. because instead of feeling the chest-wrenching horror i might have felt earlier in my life, i just feel closure, satisfied i got to say what i had to say.

"It’s the disconnect of being trained since birth to look a certain way, only to have dudes turn around and go, “Don’t you know we hate all that stuff on your face?” Like it was our idea! Like women collectively woke up one day and thought, “Wouldn’t it be awesome to slap a bunch of chemicals and dyes on our faces every morning from now on?”
We’ve got a multi-billion dollar industry doing their best to remind us daily that we need what they’re selling, so don’t act all befuddled about where we got the idea that we looked better this way. Plus, it’s not like men don’t still expect us to look beautiful. They just don’t want us cheating with cosmetics. Hope your face is naturally flawless!
And while we’re talking, don’t you ladies know how annoying it is that you’re all hung up on your weight? Sure, we expect you to have a great body. But don’t be one of those lame girls who orders salads on a date. We like to see you eat!
Most of the time, when men say they prefer “natural beauty,” they don’t mean that they’re ready for us to start leaving the house the way we roll out of bed in the morning. They mean that they want us to look perfect without appearing to try.
Basically, it’s a trap."

the “natural beauty” garbage is so fucking galling

it’s bullshit disingenuous rejection of responsibility for patriarchal beauty standards
it hides yet another performance standard: never let us SEE what we are doing to you
it shows contempt for effort. people are not supposed to try at anything, you’re supposed to be a gifted special snowflake
and admitting that femininity is effort means fundamentally undercutting the idea that women are flighty and trivial and weak
and it makes - OF COURSE - the whole thing about dude’s boners, and not the way there are social and financial consequences for not being a little made-up
and it is so hostile to the idea of self-expression? someone who wears bright red lipstick does not think that people will actually assume their lips REALLY ARE bright red, any more than we assume a dude who shaves his face is naturally hairless, or think that a person wearing a blue shirt actually has blue arms. sometimes we make aesthetic choices to communicate with the world.
which in and of itself depends on women as fundamentally underhanded. of course even the way we present ourselves is a bald-faced lie

basically it is a Gross Things About The Patriarchy 101 midterm all rolled up into one passive-aggressive bid for a pat on the back over some Nice Guy’s “enlightenment”

World’s Most Beautiful Abandoned Places

Italian product manager and web designer Francesco Mugnai recently added a collection of images to his blog touting some of the most beautiful images of abandoned spots and modern ruins that he’d ever seen. The images Mugnai has captured come from empty castles, shuttered power plants, and dilapidated churches around the world. From a sunken yacht in Antarctica to a forever-closed amusement park in Japan, these images all make up a sort of anti-phoenix; rather than rising as new from the ashes, these husks remain preserved in decomposition, forcing viewers to confront the strange beauty of ruination.

Sittin outside the grad club on a cool and rainy night. OEE coffee house inside. Remembering being here in the summer. Pride party. Glitter eyes. Warm air. Cigarette smoke. Selfies. Friends. Real true good friends who I love. Inside the grad club, waiting in line, djing, on the steps of the nearby church. What a magical lovely place kingston was for me then
