My brain is constantly working to interpret everything it’s ever come across, but whenever I clean the dishes, cut vegetables, etc. it’s like all the background noise is gone. Imagine a movie scene where the deafening chatter in a restaurant is reduced to absolute silence. I’m not someone who could make it my...

plesiosauridentifying:
it is very telling when you resort to cheap insults and personal attacks if someone challenges your argument: if, instead of defending your cause/campaign with intelligent points, you try to insert yourself and your (often irrelevant) experiences into the debate, chances are you’re probably trying to stick your butt in the spotlight without really giving a shit about how...

Ally tried to avoid this very possibility by erasing all traces of her full identity online,...
