AITA for letting the local cult sacrifice all the women I get bored with? Wait… don’t answer that. #UnhingedPit #NA #H #AG

Character trope map for the character Abner with listings like: “tastes like cigarettes and regret”, “secretive for good reason”, “mommy issues”, “small town somebody”, “(not so) repressed rage”, and “if bad, why hot?”

WWYD: I (20f) moved to a new town and met a guy. He asked me on a date to the nearby woods and it was ok except his friend went missing. He’s acting weird about it and I think I’m seeing her ghost. Do I go on another date with him tonight? (He’s hot btw.) #UnhingedPit #H #AG #NA

Trope map for the character Sloane with listings like: “paleontologist (no, really)”, “quirky collector”, “mommy issues”, “did I just join a cult for a dude?”, “0% tolerance for bullshit” and “100% traumatized”

“It’s kind of like a therapy session when you’re writing [a song]—you might say things to me that you wouldn’t say to me in real life because you have the mask [of the song] to disguise it… It just kind off falls out because you’re in a creative space that feels safe.” -Benny Blanco

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

Happy International Women's Day from Ada Limon

HOW TO TRIUMPH LIKE A GIRL

I like the lady horses best,
how they make it all look easy,
like running 40 miles per hour
is as fun as taking a nap, or grass.
I like their lady horse swagger,
after winning. Ears up, girls, ears up!
But mainly, let's be honest, I like
that they're ladies. As if this big
dangerous animal is also a part of me,
that somewhere inside the delicate
skin of my body, there pumps
an 8-pound female horse heart,.
giant with power, heavy with blood.
Don't you want to believe it?
Don't you want to lift my shirt and see
the huge beating genius machine
that thinks, no, it knows,
it's going to come in first.
