My license plate is a full sentence. I'm not necessarily saying that makes me better than everybody else, but you can draw your own conclusions.

Peggy Carter vs Sexism
#SO MUCH OF HER IS JUST THIS COILED SPRING WAITING TO SNAP #she is brutal and competent and ruthless and honestly scary #she is just holding back SO MUCH all the time and when some of that anger peeks through it is incredible #people criticize the punch: ‘it’s not effective; violence won’t make them stop’ #she doesn’t do it because it’s smart #she does it because she’s fucking angry! #she is so fucking angry all the time and i am so terrified and happy and in love #gif warning #america’s imaginary friends
I just.

7 ways white people can combat their privilege
It’s important for everyone to begin thinking and behaving in ways that relinquish white privilege and white supremacy when it noticeably impacts daily life. Because it’s not about admitting it anymore. It’s about giving it up. Here’s a few ways how that can happen.

8) Always question your reactions.
Always.
Most racism isn’t overt - it’s reactive. It’s ingrained via observation of authority figures - during one’s upbringing and afterward- in media (by stereotyping and/or lack of representation), and other forms of programming (echo chambers, for example).
So when you see a situation with a racial component, watch your initial reaction to it. If upon reflection it’s shitty, acknowledge that it’s shitty, realize that it’s a impulse-response, and work to unlearn that response.
Unlearning these ingrained responses and the microaggressions they cause goes a long way to seeing one’s own privilege at work and working to undo it.
No amount of hot showers will get rid of the glitter on me now. Hopefully you guys think it was worth it!

I’ve gotten a few new followers lately, so – welcome! Good luck and godspeed. If you ever figure out what’s going on here, let me know, because I have no fucking clue.
as a reminder, if you don’t want to see my MILLIONS of whiny personal text posts, you can block the tag Nora liveblogs her life.
I gotta make sure I don’t sleep in too late on the weekend. it’s 12:30 and I’m just now starting to get tired. I don’t want to fuck up my sleep schedule and make getting up early during the week that much more difficult.
in other news, I did not leave my apartment today, but I did get a bunch of stuff done, including: delicious food, sewing curtains, doing a ton of laundry, sorting the recycling, organizing my jewelry, my stationery, and my filing system (partway).
i was making a lot of mistakes and then my archery instructor said:
“you make mistakes because you’re focusing on the target and not on your actions”
and i was like woah
thanks for giving me the best life advice i’ve ever gotten
guys just think about how applicable this is to EVERYFUCKINGTHING
Garlic is a cheap and foolproof way to add delicious flavour to almost anything you’re cooking, but peeling and mincing garlic is tough and time-consuming.
Instead, try garlic tubes! You can get these in the refrigerated part of the produce section in most grocery stores. A 150ml or so tube costs $2-4. It’s a pre-peeled, pre-minced garlic paste - just squeeze a little into your favourite dish!
Tips:
- Because it’s concentrated, a little goes a long way. A drop the size of pea is about equal to a clove.
- It takes a very long time to go bad! I’ve kept refrigerated tubes for up to four months.I thought that this was lotion at first
Meanwhile my first thoughts was “Things you should never use as lube: THIS.”
quick, the closest sorta liquidy thing by you is now lube! (Pizza sauce)
This is a very sensual looking tube of minced garlic.
Sundays too my father got up early
And put his clothes on in the blueback cold,
then with cracked hands that ached
from labor in the weekday weather made
banked fires blaze. No one ever thanked him.I’d wake and hear the cold splintering, breaking.
When the rooms were warm, he’d call,
and slowly I would rise and dress,
fearing the chronic angers of that house,Speaking indifferently to him,
who had driven out the cold
and polished my good shoes as well.
