“Wake up every morning and tell yourself that you’re a badass bitch from hell and that no one can fuck with you and then don’t let anybody fuck with you.”
— Kate Nash’s advice to college students (via morganmarguerite). This quote made it around the Internet a while ago, it seems, but I only came across it just now. Which, incidentally, was the same moment at which I realized I needed to have it on my blog.

“Red witch is a piece of work. MOAD [Mother of All Dragons] getting a big haired lover and another hitman but I bet he doesn’t get along with her other dudes. Stark girl and Dog will become very close. Imp was great. Told off little Joffrey. Chubby former nightswatch guard (crow) left the special knife.”

“So I’ll offer this: in addition to being exhausted and discouraged by the relentless barrage of bathroom humor and frat-party antics, I’m bored.”
— Women Are Bitches - The Rumpus.net. Essays like this matter because they remind you that you are not the only one who thinks the way you do. Or because they remind you that not everyone thinks the way you do. Either way, you should read it.
