As an English major and complete literature junkie, I should be ashamed of sparknoting Roots. But I’m not. Go figure, Dr. Swain.

Get Used To It Already of the Day: The Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco has asked that a guard employed through a private security company be reprimanded after he told a pair of lesbian patrons that they weren’t allowed to hold hands inside the museum.
As a crowd began to gather, the guard asked the couple to leave, but they refused, asking to speak “to somebody in authority.”
“The idea that in 2011, in San Francisco, at the Jewish Museum, this guard could be that out of touch was shocking,” said witness Jane Levikow, who was also at the museum with her partner.
Levikow made a point of noting that the incident took place at an exhibit dedicated to reflections on “the evolving public personae, lifestyle, and relationships” of well-known lesbian artist Gertrude Stein.

So what do you think of your vagina? Could it rule countries? Is it worth Samurais fighting over? What about a joust? Do you think knights would fight for your honor? Hail to the V!
All Hail the Mighty Vagina! « Vagina « Body (via edencafe)
No one needs to fight for my honor. My vagina’s mere existence is honor, and only I can take credit for it.

Asking those we love for ANYTHING can be problematic. Our culture encourages us to be independent, self-made islands unto ourselves. We are each doing it our way and win or lose, we wear our failures and successes as testament to our personal worth or lack thereof. (via Asking for What You Want « Communication « Health)
I’m allowed to have a piss ass day every now and then.

The story of my life.
This has never happened to me. Never.
Bahahah, totally do this.
Commencement (Vonnegut)
“Do one thing every day that scares you.
Sing.
Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts. Don’t put up with people who are reckless with yours.
Floss.
Don’t waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes you’re behind. The race is long and, in the end, it’s only with yourself.
Remember compliments you receive. Forget the insults. If you succeed in doing this, tell me how.
Keep your old love letters. Throw away your old bank statements.
Stretch.
Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives. Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don’t.
Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees. You’ll miss them when they’re gone.
Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t. Maybe you’ll have children, maybe you won’t. Maybe you’ll divorce at 40, maybe you’ll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don’t congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance. So are everybody else’s.
Enjoy your body. Use it every way you can. Don’t be afraid of it or of what other people think of it. It’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever own.”
