I should have been born a man.

"Not being assaulted is not a privilege to be earned through the judicious application of personal safety strategies. A woman should be able to walk down the street at 4 in the morning in nothing but her socks, blind drunk, without being assaulted, and I, for one, am not going to do anything to imply that she is in any way responsible for her own assault if she fails to Adequately Protect Herself. Men aren’t helpless dick-driven maniacs who can’t help raping a vulnerable woman. It disrespects EVERYONE."

#Oh my God #THIS #FUCKING THIS #I would like to print this out #and staple it to the forehead of every guy who’s tried to tell me that women ‘just need to be careful about where they go/how they dress/how they act/who they flirt with’ #because no #the only deciding factor on whether or not someone gets raped #is the presence of a rapist #and guess what #they are EVERYWHERE #including but not limited the local bar #your high school #your college dorm building #your workplace #your group of friend #your family #and if you’re telling me that laughing at a guy’s jokes is the equivalent of telling him I’ve given up my right to say no #then you are the problem #not me #YOU

Oh my gosh, this movie…It looks crazy, but it was really good! I mean, it has Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Natalie Portman. And Natalie Portman produced it. Yeah, everyone just needs to watch this.

The challenges of combining for profit and for benefit.

“Today it is clear that the independence of social value and commercial revenue creation is a myth. In reality, the vectors of social value and commercial revenue creation can reinforce and undermine each other. The social consequences of the recent financial crisis demonstrated with great clarity the danger of “negative externalities”—social costs resulting from corporate profit-seeking activities. But in some cases, “positive externalities” may also exist. It is this possibility that integrated hybrid models seek to exploit.”

"Again, soil is not a resource, it is something we are in relation to.
And food is not a resource and eating is not an idea. It is a communion between organisms. The fact remains: our food is only as healthy and nutritious as the soil is that produces it.
Everything comes into this world hungry.
Everything flows toward soil."

The more Wheel of Time books I read, the more I forget that I am not an Aes Sedai.
