loveyourcrookedneighbor:
someone who hates scrabble.
someone who sleeps on her back near an open window in winter, her breath rolling like a river into night.
someone who wants me to wake her in the morning by reading ee cummings’ love poems, giving a small candle-flicker of a smile just before opening her eyes.

unfuckyourhabitat:
Perfectionism is pretty much the enemy of unfucking your habitat. Perfectionism gives you a ready excuse to not do things. Perfectionism expects 100%, and will not accept anything less.
Here’s the thing. 15%, while not 100%, is still better than 0%. Doing something is…

Reading for Fun: What drama! What adventure! Oh, there is no pleasure equal to that of reading the miracle of the novel-to experience such joys and sorrows at the hands of a paperback is truly one of the great pleasures this life has to offer. If I could do nothing but read for the rest of my life, truly, I would be content.

In a significant decision, the Punjab and Haryana High Court last week ruled that the right to abort a pregnancy in a marriage rests with the wife and not husband.
“A woman is not a machine in which raw material is put and a finished product comes out. She should be mentally prepared to conceive, continue the same and give birth to a child. The unwanted pregnancy would naturally...

schadenfreud-town:
This is why I can’t respect a man who “can’t” date women who earn more than him or who own their own house or are otherwise independent. You don’t want a partner, you’re looking for someone who’ll feel dependent on you so that they will feel obligated to take care of you. Just stay at your mother’s house, why don’t you.
