Being a ferret mommy and why it's great.
It’s no secret that I fucking love ferrets. In particular, I fucking love my ferret. I believe that being a ferret mommy is the most rewarding thing in my life as of right now.
Every day, I come home from work and (if I get out before my boyfriend) she wakes up, starts rattling her cage. I open it, scratch her shoulders, and she’s on her merry way. She is really good at finding...

There’s a girl at work who I strongly believe has Aspergers Syndrome. I am long familiar with Aspergers due to having several friends in real life that have it and due to living with someone that has it for over a year. However if my colleague has it then she doesn’t know that she has it. She struggles with her job, with getting along with other...

cultural diversity and why it's important to...
Instead of telling someone, “This is the way it should work, and you need to follow through or you’re a bigot and an asshole,” try thinking about that person personally. They may not have the same cultural values as you. I see this a lot with the feminists on Tumblr. Someone says something about abortion that doesn’t match up with the pro-choicer’s opinions, and...

To the person who responded to the “not to start an abortion war” I will respond to your comment when you don’t stoop to call someone a “fucking idiot” and say that you “worry about someone’s mental health” if they “put themself through that electively” as both of those statements are incredibly rude. Not to mention attempting to police other’s bodies is something that this...

that whole “well as long as they don’t use abortion as a form of birth control” thing is bullshit.
it’s not your body. nobody has to adhere to YOUR conditions
abortion is, surprise surprise, already birth control.
unless people who are getting abortions still spontaneously give birth to a baby around the original 9 month mark.
or something.

It isn’t that I haven’t talked about demisexuality with my husband. It’s that he doesn’t really understand the point of labels. Not that he doesn’t get why I’d use them, but some just go over his head sometimes. It took me months to explain to him…
I think the problem with labels is in many cases it gives one an excuse—an out from an...

What kind of world do we live in where a school shooting isn’t front page news? Where we don’t even hear about it until it’s brought up in class? Where the newspapers were probably teeming with “news” about the Kardashians and who won the latest NBA game? This is wrong.

“The following day, I attended a workshop about preventing gender violence, facilitated by Katz. There, he posed a question to all of the men in the room: “Men, what things do you do to protect yourself from being raped or sexually assaulted?” Not one man, including myself, could quickly answer the question. Finally, one man raised his hand and said, “Nothing.” Then Katz asked...
I hate that my family is so negative.
I post something on facebook that is an important issue to me—today it was about homosexuality—and INSTANTLY my family jumps on the post with comments like “gross,” “keep it in the closet,” and “it’s still gay and it’s still gross.”
I love my family. And I respect their rights to their own opinions. However, it is time for me to stop...

Gender vs. Sex
Gender—what a person identifies as. Referring mostly to psychology.
Sex—biological make-up. What one has under their clothing.
This is how I have come to know gender and sex. In my opinion, it is the most basic, yet the most accurate depiction of the two. One does not have to be a biological male to be a male. Make sense? Let me explain—
Who we are lies mostly in how we...

Men are not the victims of sexism.
just-smith:
77825225672443:
That is because sexism is aimed at women.
Men are hit with crossfire, i.e. strict gender roles imposed upon women relate back in the ways in which strict gender roles then effect men. But they do not do so as strongly.
To take a telling case, look at the incredibly wealthy men who lead fashion (haute couture). Most of them are pretty effeminate.
Now, look at all...

I mean, really? I got on facebook this morning and literally every story from a news source started with “person injured/person dies/in a traffic accident”. Or simply, “slide off slide off slide off”.
I’m not blaming those who were in a multi-car wreck and died. It is truly sad when someone dies—no matter how. Chances are, the other people on the road are...

I’m sure we all know which word I’m referring to. Yes, the infamous “r” word—AKA “retarded”.
I’m guilty of saying things such as, “wow, that’s so retarded.” ”You’re a retard.” And so on. I’ve given up using this word as a synonym for stupid over 2 years ago.
Why is it so offensive to use this…

and we’re finally moving out of this recession—I’d say Obama isn’t doing too bad.
I still believe he is not experienced enough to run this country. I think most of the criticisms he faces is because he is black—not because he is a terrible president. Not to mention his left-winged nature. I hear he has received more death threats than any other president.

Blah blah, more Whitney Houston.
People are complaining about the flag being lowered for her. I get what they’re saying. However, they also feel it is necessary to demean her because of the battle she faced with not only addiction but an abusive relationship.
Instead of dwelling on the negative, think about what she did. She instilled hope in the African American community—a population that tends to live in...

Other than the obvious—the woman shot her two kids and then killed herself over food stamps. But read on—the woman was obviously troubled. She moved to Texas (her first mistake) in order to redeem her life. Yet, her and her two children remained homeless—begging for food.
The government DENIED her and her children food stamps. How fucked up is that? She’s homeless,...

I dreamt that I was taking advantage of my boyfriend (on the lift table at work of all places…) I woke up, and I was really taking advantage of him. Seems to happen a lot—dream sex equals real sex.

You are not alone. You have friends and family who love you. Love is not exclusive to people in intimate relationships. Love is universal. This day is meant to celebrate all the love and all the people in your life.

Since when is there only one way to express grief?
This rant brought to you by TV—True Blood, Dexter, and crime solving shows on Discovery.
In season 1 of True Blood, Sookie’s grandma is murdered. People “say” over and over, “she hasn’t even cried.”
Season 5 of Dexter, Quinn says “the neighbor is more broken up than Dexter is” and they all give him shit about not showing emotion while he is...
Today sucks.
It started off fine. I woke up around 11:30, stayed in bed til about noon with my boyfriend, and then I left to go get McDonalds for lunch. Because of people who cannot drive or see for that matter, I never made it to McDonalds—nor do I have a car.
Some lady pulls off a side street as fast as she can and nailed the back end of my car. She spun me around and down the street about 200...

So I follow the local news stations on Facebook to keep up with current Grand Rapids events. What bothers me most is the fact that there are always people posting negative remarks about EVERY story they cover.

RIP Whitney.
Whitney Houston was a legend. Her voice…I don’t even know what to say about it.
However, her death was not so unexpected. She had an addiction. An addiction to what is quite possibly the most deadly drug out there—crack cocaine. I believe it’s this fact that makes her death all the more devastating (for me anyway). Her addiction destroyed everything that made her...
What's so wrong with expressing concern over...
Apparently by expressing my concern to my sister about how I feel regarding our relationship makes me child. I need to grow up and stop crying about it.
So does expressing my concern really warrant an attack on my maturity level? I personally don’t think so. We used to be so close. We’d talk on the phone every day. My sister used to be one of my best friends.
Now, when I see her...

A joke that makes me want to pull my hair out.
Brace yourself for this one:
“Roses are red, violets are blue. I’m schizophrenic, and so am I.”
How is that funny? I’ll tell you why it’s not funny—at all. As a mental health fanatic, I’m going to tell you why this is the stupidest and most irritating joke in the world.

No, that’s not true—I’ve been known to boot, scootin’ boogie all over the dance floor. But that’s beside the point.
