Me: I'm pretty sure Mom doesn't want these [old wallpaper samples]. Just to be sure, I won't ask her.
Brother: Well played.

M: Baking with you is like bowling with gutter guards. I feel like I'm mostly in control, but when I'm about to go too far off course you step in.

unfuckyourhabitat:

Wash the dishes in your sink

Get your outfit for tomorrow together, including accessories

Set up coffee/tea/breakfast

Make your lunch

Put your keys somewhere obvious

Wash your face and brush your teeth

Charge your electronics

Pour a little cleaner in the toilet bowl (if you don’t have pets or children or sleepwalking adults)

Set your alarm

Go to bed at a reasonable hour

Getting my next day’s outfit together is actually really helpful for getting me out of the house faster.

Geology class is usually fun fun fun, until we have questions like this:

What is the term for a tabular igneous pluton that occurs in an orientation that is discordant with the bedding surfaces of adjacent sedimentary rocks?

"I know I’ve told this story before, but my abusive ex refused to let me take birth control. I was..."

Mon, 25 Mar 2013 22:16:03 -0700

“

I know I’ve told this story before, but my abusive ex refused to let me take birth control. I was on the pill until he found them in my purse.

I went to the Student Health Center—they were completely unhelpful, choosing to lecture me about the importance of safe sex (recommending condoms) instead of actually listening to my problem.

Then I went to Planned Parenthood. The Nurse Practitioner took one look at my fading bruises and stopped the exam. She called in the doctor. The doctor came in and simply asked me: “Are you ready to leave him?” When I denied that I was being abused, she didn’t argue with me. She just asked me what I needed. I said I need a birth control method that my boyfriend couldn’t detect. She recommended a few options and we decided on Depo.

When I told her that my boyfriend read my emails and listened to my phone messages and was known to follow me, she suggested to do the Depo injections at off hours when the clinic was normally closed. She made a note in my chart and instructed the front desk never to leave messages for me—instead, she programmed her personal cell phone number into my phone under the name “Nora”. She told me she would call me to schedule my appointments; she wouldn’t leave a message, but I should call her back when I was able to.

And that was it. No judgment. No lecture. She walked me to the door and told me to call her day or night if I needed anything. That she lived 5 blocks from campus and would come get me. That I wasn’t alone. That she just wanted me to be safe.

I never called her to come to my rescue. But I have no doubt that she would have come if I had called. She kept me on Depo for a year, giving me those monthly injections in secret, helping me prevent a desperately unwanted pregnancy.

I cannot thank Planned Parenthood enough for the work they do.

This weekend I was staying with my friend in Berkeley/Oakland. My car was broken into (no windows broken and car still operational, thankfully). They took my climbing harness + chalk bag (both gifts), my winter/snowboarding jacket (new this season), and some other clothes. Today, my friend called to say she had found my climbing harness + chalk bag! Amazing. I’m so happy to have my climbing stuff back!
