the real “problem with political correctness” is not that it’s considered offensive to use slurs, but that there are now many “progressive” environments where saying the right things is more important than doing the right thing. it’s why it’s so easy for abusers to gain traction in leftist circles (they learn the right words quickly and employ them to frame their own behavior as progressive); it’s why so much potential activist energy gets poured into fighting about language; it’s why moderate liberals didn’t believe fer/guson had a problem until the police emails with actual racist language were leaked. (you can do racist things, you just can’t SAY racist things.) i don’t have a neat conclusion here but a related point is that i’m so much happier since i started focusing on like, being a good kind caring person instead of trying to remove the word “crazy” from the vocabulary of everyone in my family

2019 is so fucked i keep trying to google “feminist quotes on marriage” and “feminist quotes on being a wife” etc and 99.99% of the results are articles titled like “Yes, You Can be a Feminist and Still Love Being a Wife” and “20 Feminist Quotes About Marriage You Need to Read Right Now” and then you click the listicle and no lie it starts off with one audre lorde quote taken completely out of context and is followed by ones by john green, joss whedon, and ian somerhalder. Empowerment culture has given everyone brain worms and the only people who Get It are tween girls on tumblr who say stuff like “i want to shed my skin and eat dirt”

Make Some Pocket Extenders for Your Pants
So I don’t know about you, but I’m often frustrated by the ridiculous smallness of girls’ pockets. At a bare minimum, I need to be able to shove my cellphone in there - come on, pants companies! So what I started doing was making myself pocket extenders. I’ve done this several times, for pants and shorts. It’s great.
I just got this pair of jeans, so I thought I’d show you how to do it. I kind of feel like it just hasn’t occurred to some of you that this is an option, so maybe now it will. All you need is your pants, some fabric (I just took a random piece from a scrap bin), a needle, and some thread (thread doesn’t even need to match the fabric since literally no one will see it).
Tumblr media
See? Ridiculous. Like, half a cellphone, or only 2.5″. Useless.
Tumblr media
 So turn those inside out to expose the pockets.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Figure out how big you want your pockets to actually be. I kinda go by whatever looks like might be right. I didn’t really measure them. Fold the fabric in half, so you have a pocket, and then fold it in half again so you can have two equal ones.
Tumblr media
Try to get the edges to line up enough, pin it in place, then sew up the sides! Are your stitches crazy uneven and wonky looking? Doesn’t matter; nobody’s going to see it. These are in the inside of your pants. The only thing that matters is that it holds up. So I double-did the corners, since those tend to get the most stress.
Tumblr media
Cut open the bottom of the existing pockets.
Tumblr media
Pin it in place, then sew around, joining the new pocket to the old pocket. I did this by keeping my hand on the inside, so I wouldn’t accidentally sew through the other side. Again, I reinforced the corners, and didn’t worry about what it actually looks like. Then I turned it in side out to make sure the inside was all joined properly.
Tumblr media
Yay all done! And the pockets are so much bigger now!
Tumblr media
Whaaaat I can fit my entire phone and entire hand and probably something else now, are girls’ pockets even allowed to do that?! Heck yeah they are.

if you told child me that when he was older he would spend the day craving cauliflower cheese despite only having it once before, and that he would go and make a huge dish of it at 11pm and love every bite, he would probably have kicked you in the crotch and called you a bastard

fun facts about stephenie meyers siblings ft. my escalating levels of distress and concern:
all of her siblings’ names (seth, emily, jacob, paul, and heidi) end up in the twilight saga in one way or another
not all incorporations are made equal
i.e. heidi is a glorified extra who shows up for 2 chapters at the end of the second book whereas jacob is literally the secondary love interest for the entire series
on a scale from jacob to heidi how bad is your relationship with your sister
seth and paul are both werewolves
seth is a sweet, harmless baby brother type in the books and also the name of one of meyer’s sons so im gonna take a leap and say he was steph’s favorite
except for jacob, who got to be the third billing character in the series while everyone else got to be a tertiary character at best
emily gets horribly maimed. so uh. thats fun
on a scale from seth to emily how bad is your relationship with your sister
i cant stop thinking about heidi though like. all of the others have moderate to important roles in the series meanwhile heidi is just some italian chick who eats people and says MAYBE 3 words? she’s like the volturi’s receptionist or something. a fucking receptionist
all of this is just varying degrees of batshit obviously. i cannot imagine my sister writing me as a character in her pulpy vampire romance novel and us ever being on speaking terms again
how do you react to that? how do you have a relationship. how do you roll up to thanksgiving and sit across the table from someone who makes $50 million a year off a YA series where YOU are a speaking character
actually never mind. yeah if my sister made $50 million a year i wouldnt say shit to her about it either
still though
somewhere out there is a man named “jacob meyer” who has never known peace

everybody on here is obsessed with dogs with long snoots but what people dont tell u is that in practice the snoots get shoved under ur arm hard enough to spill the coffee ur holding with ur other hand and the snoot, unaffected by the situation, will also want to sniff said coffee and also whatever you’re eating and also ur ear and the snoot is long enough to accomplish all these things….long snoots are tools of mischief do not trust them!!!!!
