Wrapped in Nonsense

I'm a twenty year old third-year college student studying to become a teacher. Things I reblog include but are not limited to: Sherlock, Dr. Who, education, feminism, and puppies. Never dress in borrowed robes--it'll only lead you to trouble.

things girls are made to feel ashamed of-

  • having periods
  • choosing what they want to wear on their body
  • wanting to/not wanting to have sex
  • putting boys in the ‘friendzone’
  • standing up against misogyny
  • ruining a boy’s life by telling the police that he raped her
  • abortion
  • having hair on their body
  • not appreciating catcalls
  • not appreciating chivalry
  • having control over their own fucking body

A Slytherin Speaks by emmablackery

im not even a slytherin, im a ravenclaw, but i can’t tell you how much i hate house sterotypses

Don’t get me wrong, I love Harry Potter, but this is RIDICULOUS. No, you are not part of any of the houses. It is a work of FICTION. Next you’re gonna start saying yeah, I fought off a dementor last night. You effing weirdos. 

THEY ARE NOT REAL!

I wanted to but I didn’t. I did it by myself. That’s a start. Right?

Dear 16-year-old Me

This is a very powerful message that all teens (and adults) should hear as we approach the summer months. Show this to your students before they head off on their break this summer.

16-year-old, fair and freckly me, is thankful my dad FORCED me to apply sunscreen on sunny days at the cottage.

Random fact of the day

fluffmugger:

“Blood is thicker than water”, when used in the context of family over friends, is in fact a wildly incorrect bastardisation.

The true, full quote is The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb,” and refers to relationships forged by choice holding deeper meaning than those of mere biology.
