My issue with science fiction
tripsblairattack: Why is it that in most science fiction extraterrestrial creatures usually seem to resemble generic humanoids, with bipedal forms, hands, fingers and heads? Read More Because it’s easier for human actors to portray humanoid creatures. And because it’s easier for human audiences to sympathize with human-looking creatures than with slug-like creatures. From a...

I bought a bikini today. It’s the first I’ve ever owned. It’s silly, because I got over my old body image issues a long time ago, but I still had this lingering unwillingness to show my stomach, this idea that I wasn’t good enough to wear a bikini. I decided today that was enough of that kind of thinking. Even if no one ever sees me in it, it feels oddly empowering to...

another cool BSG shirt →
frakyeahbsg: This was submitted, forgot to credit it and now I can’t see who sent it :( so sorry I submitted this! Fun story about this shirt: I own this shirt, and I used to joke with my friends that if anyone were to ever recognize it as a Battlestar shirt, I would make out with them on the spot. It was never a serious claim, just a way of illustrating the point that I am very attracted...

I really want to buy a new sweater.
This is illogical, as I will be spending my entire winter on an island 7 degrees north of the equator and thus will have no need of sweaters for a while. But I still want one. Shopping can be very satisfying, and buying a sweater is particularly comforting.
