If something bothers you, you need to determine if it’s truly offensive or if you just don’t like it before you get angry and act. If it’s truly offensive, you can react emotionally; if you just don’t like it, don’t react emotionally. If you can’t tell if it’s offensive or just something you don’t like, keep your mouth shut until you can find an adult to ask.
— Elle, repeating to me advice she hours earlier gave her six-year-old. It was both appropriate and helpful, further confirmation that nothing has changed for me since 1986. (via mills) (via hipsterdiet) (via seriouslythough)

Oregon can be a political conundrum. Outside the state, we’ve got a reputation as a liberal haven, loaded with those latte-loving, sushi-eating, mountain-biking, Prius-driving, soccer-loving, secular hedonists that right-wingers love to hate. And at the presidential level, we’ve voted for the Democrat every year since 1984.
But here at home, the reality is a bit more complex. For 16 years, until 2006, the Oregon House was dominated by the nastiest right-wing Republicans around. We’ve got a ballot measure system that’s dominated by wacko conservatives and their corporate backers. And, of course, we’ve got the last remaining Republican Senator on the West Coast.
We’ve decriminalized marijuana, but banned gay marriage. We’ll let you get a doctor’s help to end your life, but we won’t let you pump your own gas.
Why the schizophrenic politics? Maybe it’s the rain.

jgh:
Samantha was my first and only American Girl doll. Samantha was the reason I discovered Santa Claus=mom+dad. Samantha taught me about turn-of-the-century America. Samantha’s best friend was an orphan named Nellie. Samantha had the awesome long and flowy white girl hair that I always wanted. Samantha rocked, basically. And now she’s dead.
This is some RAW BULLSHIT, folks. Also, how have little girls possibly changed so much since my own childhood that Samantha isn’t the most coveted one? I wanted a Samantha doll SO BAD when I was six and I told my parents I wanted the “pretty one with brown hair” which OBVIOUSLY meant Samantha and they got me stupid Molly and it was so very upsetting.
OMG, no more Samantha? This day is OVER.

Whenver I’m feeling blue, I try to remember that the same government that is overseeing the war and the economy is also in charge of the safety of your food and drugs and drinking water. Have a nice night.

75 Books Every Woman Should Read: The Complete List
I’ve only read 7 of these books cover to cover. Others I own and have never read, and others I’ve read parts in classes but never read the whole thing. I should maybe read more classics instead of chick lit…

HHS Moves to Define Contraception as Abortion
via robot-heart via oldauntamy via bluenemesis
In a spectacular act of complicity with the religious right, the Department of Health and Human Services Monday released a proposal that allows any federal grant recipient to obstruct a woman’s access to contraception. In order to do this, the Department is attempting to redefine many forms of contraception, the birth control 40% of Americans use, as abortion.
I am about to read a book by Christina Page!
