Today, I ran my second marathon! Around mile 23, this volunteer was my own personal fan club and it was lovely.

On a monumental mistake

dearcoquette:

This spring I’ll be graduating college. It’s taken 5 years, three degree changes and tens of thousands of dollars in loans before I found something I’m passionate about.

I’m slowly realizing I’m not passionate about it, though. I took it because it was easy and just thought-provoking enough to let me fool myself into thinking it was challenging. I feel like I’ve made a monumental mistake and am officially at a loss for what to do with my life. Thoughts?

Yep, you’ve made a monumental mistake. You’ve wasted five years and tens of thousands of dollars chasing what you thought was passion to earn a college degree that (if you’re lucky) will buy you a shitty entry level job where you can work your ass off for another five years trying to pay down those tens of thousands of dollars before one day in your late twenties it finally dawns on you that never, not once in your life, have you ever really been passionate about anything.

Of course, that part isn’t the monumental mistake. The monumental mistake is continuing to buy into the system. It’s believing you have to be passionate about some stupid college major, or that you feel like a failure because you haven’t mapped out exactly what you want to do with your entire life at an age when you’re barely qualified to answer phones and fetch coffee.

Fuck that shit. It’s perfectly okay to be clueless and terrified. The only wrong way to handle it is to freeze up and do nothing. The good news is that it doesn’t matter what you do with your life, and it sure as hell doesn’t matter what you studied in college. Just get the fuck out there and do something.

this is a powerful post, but I’m just putting it out there that it’s still super hard to callout rape jokes when the person is your friend, or isn’t straight, or isn’t cis, or is a survivor of rape.  i’m putting it out there that survivors make rape jokes and that there are many survivors who identify as men, so i’d be interested in knowing how others call these loved ones out on something that is not a joke and is not okay.

You say, “rape jokes aren’t funny. Ever.”

I’ll just keep reblogging this until everyone everywhere has read it.

This is for all those White people who think class-based affirmative action is a substitute for race-based affirmative action.

This is for all those White people who support legalizing weed, but don’t want to address racial profiling, mandatory minimum sentencing, invasive police practices, the privatization of prisons, etc.

This is for all those White feminists who think issues facing women of color and race are “divisive”.

This is for all those White gay men who think the entire LGBT movement should be all about marriage equality while largely ignoring police brutality, homelessness, employment discrimination, housing discrimination, etc.

This is for all those White liberals who think vouchers and charter schools are the answer to deep economic and racial inequalities in our education system. 

This is for all those White allies who water down, silence, ignore, and erase the voices and struggles of people of color!
