“I actually attack the concept of happiness. The idea that - I don’t mind people...”
– Hugh Mackay (via aeloquence)

my life is fucking pleasant
today for breakfast i had a vegetable masala burger with avocado on fresh farmer’s market bread with fresh farmer’s market strawberries and it truly was the breakfast of champions because i spent the day looking at fossils and dinosaurs and reading Bitch and reading Beloved and talking about writing and the universe and eating more delicious food and laying around doing nothing and...
“I’m tired of you feminists coming at me with your typical word attacks.”
– christiankeyes, in an unrelated post about how women should dress more modestly to avoid giving rapists “temptation” (via stfuconservatives)
