"I have never been remotely interested in looking like or being in any way a real girl. I don’t like the real girl thing. I believe in idealization for publications. People want to see aspirational images, read about aspirational lives. I don’t care about acceptance. I don’t want to project anything real. I want people to look at my beauty section and want to look like me, to buy the things I like. I want them to want to smell like me even though they can’t smell me through the computer. That’s the point. It’s beauty, babe! But always remember—I’m a total sicko."

-Cat Marnell is a creep but at least she’s honest about it?

I really don’t think she should be calling herself a feminist (as she does earlier in the interview), and I don’t understand how her life is aspirational. She’s a depressed drug addict whose life revolves around being “glamorous”, getting high, beauty products and doing whatever it takes to stay thin. I feel conflicted about posting this because I don’t like bashing other women or people struggling with addiction, but I found her interview with Vice incredibly disconcerting and sad. It’s really unfortunate when people waste their intelligence and talents on superficial and self-destructive pursuits.

Perhaps the deepest reason why we are afraid of death is because we do not know who we are. We believe in a personal, unique, and separate identity — but if we dare to examine it, we find that this identity depends entirely on an endless collection of things to prop it up: our name, our “biography,” our partners, family, home, job, friends, credit cards… It is on their fragile and transient support that we rely for our security. So when they are all taken away, will we have any idea of who we really are?

Without our familiar props, we are faced with just ourselves, a person we do not know, an unnerving stranger with whom we have been living all the time but we never really wanted to meet. Isn’t that why we have tried to fill every moment of time with noise and activity, however boring or trivial, to ensure that we are never left in silence with this stranger on our own?

Love everything about Marina’s look in this video. I want to replicate it, but where am I going to find a shirt like that and when will I find the patience to paint my nails?

If I were actually talented and motivated enough to make music it’d be a mixture of all of these artists. Fun, weird, mostly electronic pop music. 

I want to go somewhere in Berlin that plays music like this, but I duno where that would be. I think the music scene in this town is so male dominated and kind of boring. 

When my body and your body
Lie together under a white sheet
Your head on my arm
Your leg thrown over my leg
The whole long continent of you
The pale ridgeline of your ribcage and hip and thigh
Neighbor to me
There is nothing that needs to be explained
Or accomplished, the world is at rest and complete
And though
We drift apart in the eddies of the day
We will find our way back
To the slight hollows that mark the place
Where we lie now, astonished, saying nothing.

Garrison Keillor

Abortion in Germany is only “legal” within the first trimester of pregnancy (first 12 weeks) and you are required to have a vaginal ultrasound done in order to determine the week of pregnancy. Legal is in quotations because technically abortion is always illegal in Germany. Abortion is only non-punishable when you attend a mandatory counseling session with a government appointed counselor and wait at least 3 days after this session before the procedure. If you are not having the abortion done for emergency medical reasons and are further along than 12 weeks, you are shit out of luck, and probably should go to Denmark or the UK.

Furthermore, Emergency Contraception a.k.a. the morning after pill is only available with a prescription. 

wtf?!
