Never let it be said that I don’t like things. I’m discerning, but there are things I like, gosh darn it. (These things are mostly cats.)

magneticmagnum: Inspired by this that I love so so much:   When you grow up as a girl, the world tells you the things that you are supposed to be: emotional, loving, beautiful, wanted.  And then when you are those things, the world tells you they are inferior: illogical, weak, vain, empty.  The world teaches you that the way you exist in it is disgusting — you watch boys cringe backward in your dorm room when you talk about your period, blue water pretending to be blood in a maxi pad commercial.  It is little things, and it is constant.  In a food court in a mall, after you go to the gynecologist for the first time, you and your friend talk about how much it hurts, and over her shoulder you watch two boys your age turn to look at you and wrinkle their noses: the reality of your life is impolite to talk about.  The world says that you don’t have a right to the space you occupy, any place with men in it is not yours, you and your body exist only as far as what men want to do with it.  At fifteen, you find fifteen-year-old boys you have never met somehow believe you should bend your body to their will.  At almost thirty, you find fifteen-year-old boys you have never met still somehow believe you should bend your body to their will.  They are children.  They are children.   -Stevie Nicks Can someone point me to the source for this quote from Stevie? It’s awesome, and I totally agree, but it just doesn’t really sound like her. I’ve never heard her be so explicitly feminist before. I mean, she’s always behaved and lived like a feminist, but her rhetoric has been ambivalent if not downright dismissive of capital F feminism. If this really is a quote from her, it must be recent. Anyway, link me please?

Kid: “I was just asking you something I didn’t know.”

Dwight: “Which is fine, and you learned something, but it was kind of a stupid question so you’re going to get made fun of a little bit.”

—This exchange from tonight’s episode of The Office perfectly encapsulates how I feel every time an intern asks me a question. Listen up kids, there is such a thing as a stupid question. It may need to be asked, but that doesn’t make it any less stupid.

All sorts of men had rejected her when she was younger as cute but not beautiful. She wrote about it, turned it into a comic riff — everything is copy — but privately, it was heartbreaking for her until this noble man came along and made her feel that she was as fabulous to look at as she was to talk to.

We shall not cease from exploration

And the end of all our exploring

Will be to arrive where we started

And know the place for the first time.

I am a grown-ass 32-year-old woman. And yet, these are my tracked tags. Sigh. You never grow up, kids. Never. Even if maybe you should. Also, I am blogging this from work.

Never Going Back Again (Acoustic Duet) - Fleetwood Mac

I’m late on this Rumours re-issue stuff but - always good to hear NGBA as a duet.

Goddamnit, that’s pretty. You can really hear the bluegrass influences on this arrangement. You know what’s extra amazing about this? All those Rumours songs are classics. When I listen to them I think, “Welp, you can’t do better than that.” And then I hear alternate versions and I think, “Welp, that’s perfect too.” How goddamn talented were/are these mofos to have all these amazing versions to choose from? What an embarrassment of riches.
