the kind of warmth that burns one part of your body and leaves the rest of you cold.

I like 90s music now that we're not stuck in the 90s.

why are people with narrower experiences than mine always trying to tell me how it is for everybody, as if they are the authority.

what is it with guys who think if they talk to a woman like she's dumb suddenly she'll forget that she's smart.

It's funny, as soon as a man sees a woman as a sexual being, he can't respect her ability to reason.  It's as if those two traits can't exist at the same time, in the same person.  And it becomes the woman's problem to deal with that because a man will just deny her observations as overreacting or crazy, because, again, he doesn't respect her ability to reason anymore.  Or rather, he doesn't want to deal with the inconvenience of a reasonable person resolving problems, because sex should be easy and uncomplicated, why is she making it complicated with all those thoughts, all those needs to be treated like, gasp, a person.

"If we're going to get any closer to "having it all" (or just "having a life") we need to ask men to drop both the gaslighting and the self-loathing and show up as adults."

It was so beautiful to see the sun-kissed southern california pacific from the sky merge into rugged mountain ranges, then become checkered brown and green farmlands, and then snowy mountaintops hugged by clouds, then disappear entirely under fog, and emerge again into the teals, maroons and deep greens of the pacific northwest.
