vondell-swain: pynapel: aboutmaleprivilege: Male privilege is the sexualization of Breast Cancer awareness. THIS it reminds me of what Randall Munroe said: “The frustrating thing about the “Save the Boobies” campaign and similar things (like the “Booberday” meme going around G+) is that they get it exactly backward. Often, the point of breast cancer treatment is to destroy some or all of the boobies in order to save the woman. Saying that we should work to cure this disease because it threatens breasts is really upsetting. For starters, it suggests that women are worth saving because they’re attached to breasts, rather than the other way around. But worse, it tells any woman who’s had a mastectomy to try to save her life that she’s lost the thing that made people care about her survival. What a punch in the stomach.” god i hhhhhaaaaate this culture surrounding breast cancer awareness month i hate it a lot

Random Thoughts Of the Day

  • I wish I could keep this dog
  • Dear Lord I have the worst sweet tooth today
  • Today, Josh Van Til left my parents church. While I’ve only went there like twice, I went there for his goodbye party (he’s going to Oregon to start a new church) and I cried. He and his family have done an incredible amount for our family, so so much… he was genuinely the nicest man I’ve ever met and I was sad to see him go. 
  • I have this intense craving for anything mango flavored 
  • I almost typed flavour damn you stephanie 
  • Speaking of which, if you don’t see me this summer i will cry
  • I really really hate being alone 
  • A week today, I came to my senses
  • I really need to start on my study guide for my midterm tomorrow 
  • I think I used maybe 50% of these bullet points correctly
  • welp

erickimberlinbowley: The Loneliest Whale in the World. In 2004, The New York Times wrote an article about the loneliest whale in the world. Scientists have been tracking her since 1992 and they discovered the problem: She isn’t like any other baleen whale. Unlike all other whales, she doesn’t have friends. She doesn’t have a family. She doesn’t belong to any tribe, pack or gang. She doesn’t have a lover. She never had one. Her songs come in groups of two to six calls, lasting for five to six seconds each. But her voice is unlike any other baleen whale. It is unique—while the rest of her kind communicate between 12 and 25hz, she sings at 52hz. You see, that’s precisely the problem. No other whales can hear her. Every one of her desperate calls to communicate remains unanswered. Each cry ignored. And, with every lonely song, she becomes sadder and more frustrated, her notes going deeper in despair as the years go by. Just imagine that massive mammal, floating alone and singing—too big to connect with any of the beings it passes, feeling paradoxically small in the vast stretches of empty, open ocean.
