silentpunk:
by saying ‘I doubt he even knows who Kurt Cobain IS’ then you are as naiive as Justin Bieber.
Kurt Cobain is REALLY famous, most people who are fans didn’t discover him on the indie underground scene, most people know about him because he was on MTV and because he’s now a huge icon. His hugeness…
Your Mental Health Is Your Physical Health →
heartmindspirit:
For the introvert, mental health IS physical health. This is not to be confused with the school of thought, mostly proposed by the 70% extroverts who don’t understand us, that we are mentally ill.
I believe that this particular confusion comes from the fact that when extroverts are stressed, they “act out”. They scream and holler, hit the panic button, throw things, even...

probeauty:
Welcome to North Carolina, where rape is legal!
If you begin having sex in the great state of North Carolina, want to stop, and your partner forcibly restrains you to continue having intercourse, well, you should have made up your mind beforehand. Once you’ve initially consented to the act, you relinquish the right to your own body, according to a 1979 state Supreme Court...

Just because I have casual sex doesn’t mean I don’t get a choice in that sex.
Just because I have many partners (all consensual and aware of each other, but even if they weren’t aware, rape is still wrong) doesn’t mean anyone gets to fuck me without me wanting it.
Just because I enjoy sex...
