If you’re a “nice guy” to a girl up until you realize she doesn’t want to date you, then go on about how she’s a cold shrew that friendzoned you and how no girls date nice guys, like, nah mate, girls do date nice guys. You just aren’t a nice guy. You’re a passive aggressive beta with internalized misogyny and a serious victim complex.

“Please share this around Canadian civil liberty, and LGBT groups.
I have chosen to apply to Passport Canada for a sex-unspecified passport. Here’s how you can too.
Any Canadian may join in this protest. You should not need to be trans-identified to request a sex-unspecified passport.

[tw stalking, sexual assault, non-consent]
In popular culture, the word “stalking” has come to represent a lot more than actual stalking. It has come to stand for being really into something, visiting someone/something a lot, or spending a lot of time on one thing. In blogging communities it is used all the time.

saltmarshhag:
mikroblogolas:

fuckyeahselfcare:
“The notion of productivity is rooted in capitalist (and, it follows, ableist) ideas about an individual’s value. It is important that we be “productive”, not only when we are at work, but at all times. And what does it mean to be productive? When we are hard on ourselves for not being productive enough, what do we mean? We can try to define what productivity means for...
