"Uhhh...no."
foxxeloxxe:
Alright so I’ve been on my locs (dreads) journey for 8 months just about (January 6 2011 will make 8) and over time I’ve learned a few things about what people think about locs (dreads) as well as what is actually TRUE!
Some of the crazy things I’ve learned from others thoughts are:
1. You can’t was locs (dreads)….ever!
2. They are dirty and gross.
3. Only ugly people get locs...
“True Compassion doesn’t grow out of the feeling ‘I ought to do good.’ It comes...”
– Ram Dass (via nirvikalpa)
Two things happened recently:
veganskinnybitch:
1. I found two zucchinis in the fridge and decided to make zucchini bread. The recipe I found was so dry I added half a cup of rice milk to make the batter seem normal consistency.
2. Zucchinis turned out to be cucumbers, so I used grated carrot instead. Obviously it will still be good, yet I’m hella disappointed.
I’m not sure what time we’re heading out to Wakefield, hence...
things i'm excited for in 2012

True story: Planned Parenthood does a lot.
dobbaaa:
Don’t walk around screaming about PP’s abortion mills and shit.
You look like a blithering idiot.
Did you know they provide breast exams, pap smears, STD testing, and multiple cancer screenings along with diabetes screenings?
Not only that, but 35% of their services are contraception.
Contraception! Oh no YOU’RE STILL KILLING ALL OF THE INNOCENT BABIES AND MAKING THEM FLY TO JESUS.

I was recently turned down from a job with a reputable care giving agency and when asked why, they said that my health would get in the way of taking proper care of my clients.
I thought, What the fuck do they mean by my health? I didn’t take a drug test yet, I didn’t submit them any kind of medical information about my health, I didn’t give them anything health-related...
Ladies & Gentlemen, I give you, the 2012...
Michelle Bachmann: "Don’t misunderstand. I am not here bashing people who are homosexuals, who are lesbians, who are bisexual, who are transgender. We need to have profound compassion for people who are dealing with the very real issue of sexual dysfunction in their life and sexual identity disorders.” (2004)
Ron Paul: "The rate of AIDS infection is on the increase again. From the gay point of view, the reasons seem quite sensible. First, these men don't really see a reason to live past their fifties. They are not married, they have no children, and their lives are centered on new sexual partners... because sex is the center of their lives, they want it to be as pleasurable as possible, which means unprotected sex. Third, they enjoy the attention & pity that comes with being sick." (1995 in a newsletter)
Rick Perry: "I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm a Christian, but you don't need to be in the pew every Sunday to know there's something wrong in this country when gays can serve openly in the military but our kids can't openly celebrate Christmas or pray in school. " (2011 in a campaign ad)
Mitt Romney: "I should tell my story. I'm also unemployed." (2011 while speaking to unemployed people in Florida. Romney's net worth is over $200 million.)
Newt Gingrich: "She's not young enough or pretty enough to be the wife of the President. And besides, she has cancer." (1994, about his first wife)
Rick Santorum: "Is anyone saying same-sex couples can’t love each other? I love my children. I love my friends, my brother. Heck, I even love my mother-in-law. Should we call these relationships marriage, too?" (2008)
Michelle Bachmann: "Carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful. But there isn't even one study that can be produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas." (2009 during a debate)
Mitt Romney: "PETA is not happy that my dog likes fresh air." (2006, when questioned about driving 12 hours with his dog in a cage strapped to the top of his car)
