Quote
"And if a woman should say she doesn’t want to have children at all, the world is apt to go decidedly peculiar: ‘Ooooh, don’t speak too soon,’ it will say - as if knowing whether or not you’re the kind of person who desires to make a whole other human being in your guts, out of sex and food, then have the rest of your life revolve around its welfare, is a breezy, ‘Hey - whevs’ decision. Like electing to have a picnic on an unexpectedly sunny day or changing the background picture on your desktop. ‘When you meet the right man, you’ll change your mind, dear,’ the world will say, with an odd, aggressive smugness."

- Caitlin Moran, “How to Be a Woman” (via Buffy Plays With Demons)

TRUTH.

Literally every time children come up in conversation, and I say that I never want children, EVERY SINGLE PERSON tells me “oh, you’ll change your mind~”. And no matter how vehemently I argue NO I FUCKING WON’T, they still assume I don’t know what I want. In a few cases, addressing the fact that the only reason I haven’t been sterilized is because of my age shuts them up.

(via wickedseraph)

So much fucking truth. I’ve been saying since I was 16 that I don’t want kids. I’m 31 now and I’ve since become more open, but I still don’t even know for sure if I want them. I do know that if I decide when/if to have kids, I’d rather adopt, but that’s all I know so far.

Hayley Williams - Teenagers (demo version)

Hayley wrote the song, as well as performed all the vocals and guitar herself.  Much better than the album version, in my opinion. 

Hayley is just so freaking talented! I wish she played guitar more often because she is just so amazing at it!

Sorry, i couldn’t focus after hearing the “1,2,3,4” it was so cute. I think i like this even more than the studio version! 

i’ve always loved this version more, simply because of the way she says “hearts” ;)

much better

^^ what they all said. especially the 1 2 3 4 one omg yes <3

Carla Bruni- Promises Like Pie Crust

Wisdom of British poet, sung by an Italian supermodel, in French accent.

Promise me no promises,
So will I not promise you:
Keep we both our liberties,
Never false and never true:
Let us hold the die uncast,
Free to come as free to go:
For I cannot know your past,
And of mine what can you know?

You, so warm, may once have been
Warmer towards another one:
I, so cold, may once have seen
Sunlight, once have felt the sun:
Who shall show us if it was
Thus indeed in time of old?
Fades the image from the glass,
And the fortune is not told.

If you promised, you might grieve
For lost liberty again:
If I promised, I believe
I should fret to break the chain.
Let us be the friends we were,
Nothing more but nothing less:
Many thrive on frugal fare
Who would perish of excess.

Away with the labels!

pmzzo:

swankivy:

I’mma explain something very simple to all you people who keep telling asexuals to stop labeling themselves.

Labels help us have conversations.  Labels help us acknowledge experiences.  Labels exist because when things exist, they have a name.

When you tell us repeatedly that we shouldn’t name how we feel, you’re telling us you’d rather we have no words to discuss our lives.  No words to share our experiences.  No way to understand that someone else is going through what we go through.

You’re claiming we shouldn’t have labels because you assume “labeling ourselves” will trap us into using the chosen labels forever, but that’s not how it works.  I can’t count the number of times I’ve seen someone get made fun of for “waffling” when they start questioning their identity, compared with the equal number of times I’ve seen someone get mocked for using a label to suggest they know themselves.

“But whyyyy do we have to LAAAAABEL everything?” is ridiculous.  We “label” because when we have a word, we can acknowledge the existence of the thing we named.  Don’t tell us we need to move past the need for labels.  Labels don’t mean we want to be special, or that we want to belong.  We’re not using them to exclude you, or to separate ourselves from you.  We’re using them because things that exist have words.

We exist.  It’s about time that we had a word that lets us say so.

It would be wonderful to live in a world where we don’t need labels because everybody is informed about the things we use as labels today and because everyone is accepted without the need to explain themselves. But as long as we don’t live in such a world - and I doubt that such a world will ever exist - we need labels.
