corona--graminea asked: On the real tho~
I always wondered how bloggers deal with posts like that. Like, I know one can turn off dashboard notifications but that would entail missing out on more significant traffic. If only there were a way to turn off notifications for single posts :)

I wish it was possible to turn off notifications...
Most of my posts get between 0 & 5 notes, any responses I do get are likely to be from actual people I know having things to say (as opposed to “this is great!”) so I want to respond to them.
But this FUCKING Rugrats post, man. My whole goddamn dash is Rugrats notifications. Worst decision of my life, making that post. All actual responses are buried in “So-and-so reblogged...

Rant about student organizations
As you maybe know, I’m co-VP of my university’s College Democrats group. Sometimes, I really like the group, and we do awesome stuff! And I get to learn about politics and being a leader and sometimes I get to hang out with well-known politicians and tell them what to talk about in their speeches and protect them from invasive weirdos with camcorders!
SOMETIMES I FUCKING HATE THEM...

It actually is really feminist and political, though
True, at least there’s that. It wasn’t just some 100% harebrained highdea. And apparently like 200+ people agree.

Guys, that damn Rugrats post
This is what I get. I got high one night, watched a few episodes of Rugrats, and wrote a ridiculously stoned post about how it was feminist. That damn post now has more notes by far than any other original post I’ve ever made, and counting.
Guys
I was so damn high that night, the post is not that good and barely makes sense
Is this how all popular tumblr posts happen?

Bodily autonomy tends to shift when you’re tattooed because people assume your body is available for public consumption and discussion.

I mean, what, I’m supposed to run off and do grad school once I’m finally done here? I can’t. I can’t afford it, I can’t do the kind of classes that will actually be difficult and require me to think creatively and complexly. I just want to get a job at a bookstore, stocking shelves and doing inventory and never thinking about much of anything.

Okay it’s official. I’ve reached the “I can’t do this” point. Every winter without fail halfway through the term I just can’t anymore. I look ahead and see another year at least of this, plus grad school, and I just can’t. I don’t care about my classes, I don’t care about my future, and when I do muster up the energy to care all I feel about it...

NONE. I have some shit I really need to get done and I can’t even will myself out of bed. I have missed three classes in the last week, I really need to get up, work on a written assignment for a class that is already late, and get ready for my class. I need to do these things.
I feel like I’m couch-locked without the stoned part. This is not a good thing.

Hawthorne said a lot of things, he also said that the literary market durring his time was flooded with a, “damned mob of scribbling women.” So in my opinion you should get inspirational quotes from someone else.
