my words for the people horoscope is sincerely freaking me out.
Pisces Horoscope 11/28 – 12/4 – As Mercury retrogrades in your 10th House of career, status and reputation, you’re being invited to rewrite your personal job description. It’s no longer enough for you to hold down a job or succeed in a career in which you can’t be who you really are. What your soul longs to experience is for you to...
more on unhealthy relationship advice from tv
tv and movies repeatedly make it seem like murderous rage (or murderous seething anger, not rage) is a reasonable, normal response to being cheated on. it isn’t. you should not want to kill someone for sleeping with someone you love (or sleeping with someone other than you.)

I was inspired to go do some more digging around and what emerged was a horrifying portrait of an organization with no concern for matters like safety, an organization built entirely on the exploitation of female athletes. I was seriously repulsed by what I came across, and I’m going to share it on my blog because I think it’s important that feminists know that the sins of the...
