Does that fact that I fried it and doused it in salt and pepper negate all the healthy points I got for it being tofu?

“Depression is humiliating. It turns intelligent, kind people into zombies who...”
– EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ THIS.
Depression is not a synonym for being sad or having a bad day/bad week.
It’s not a PHASE. It’s not a CHOICE. It’s not LAZINESS.

I’m beginning to understand that true recovery only begins when you internalize these truths completely.

patrickandmarcus:
As a man, I have no problem with women generalizing men as rapists, misogynists, yada yada. Because I’ve seen men do some vile shit and had to stop even viler shit from happening. This is from the 3rd grade to now. Waayyy out of line touching, sick name-calling, physical…

It’s run by a friend of mine and I’ve always loved her writing because it’s sharp and full of sass.

CHECK IT HERE.
I’ve seen this new statistic going around tumblr and while the number of people who are pro-choice really IS higher than 41% like STFU Pro-Life has pointed out, I just want to reiterate that the amount of people who are pro-life or pro-choice doesn’t matter.
Even if pro-lifers were the majority (which they aren’t) it doesn’t matter. The opinions...

tresfuegos:
Willie J. Parker, an obstetrician based in Washington, D.C., didn’t always perform abortions. He’s a Christian from Birmingham, Ala., who initially refused to even consider the procedure.
But about halfway into his 20-year career, he changed his mind. Now, he’s one of those rare doctors who is willing to push the limits and provide abortions at 24 weeks of pregnancy. That...

Summer Storms and Existential Moments
Nothing like driving into a summer storm with the moon still riding above you, racing you to the clouds and the lightning with the windows down, music blasting, steam rising from hot pavement and the taste of rain on your tongue.
Makes you remember how small you are and how grand all this chaos is. Speed into it people! Open your arms to the rain, scream out loud with the thunder and embrace the...

Consent to sex will never be consent to pregnancy. Saying such is akin to saying that consent to driving is consent to being in a car crash. And even still, are you really so cold to say, “It’s your own fault, so you don’t deserve health care”? Fuck you.
