going to miss english house
Note to 2017ers: English House is next to godliness. (And I say that as an agnostic. ;3)
I think I’m experiencing bryn mawr withdrawal right now, so a number of people should expect to check their mailboxes in 1-2 days.
if writing letters and postcards is what I do drunk, that would be really really interesting (yeah, compared to throwing up/ being silent/ being super loud/ dancing…
CHAU IT’S NIKI FROM WRITING WORKSHOP ERHMAGERD I DIDN’T REALIZE YOU HAD A TUMBLR

Me: Harry Potter is, like, the gateway fandom. You start reading the books, then all of a sudden you have a Sonic Screw driver, you're carrying salt everywhere and awkwardly in love with Sherlock Holmes and you don't really know how any of it happened, but you're pretty sure it started because Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Dursely of 4 Privet Drive were proud to say that they were perfectly normal thank you very much.
Friend: I don't even know how to respond to that.

And then people urge me everything is fine, of course it is, when you’re ignoring statistics that is.

This is just icing on the cake. This test is already bullshit, and now this filth.

TW: Sexual Assault
A friend of mine was sexually assaulted out to dinner with a professor. When she told her story to her adviser, a dear friend of ours, she told him she wore a turtleneck and long pants and described her outfit. He cut her off and told her, “I don’t care if you were wearing a fucking bikini—nobody has the right to touch you.”
I think that was the first time in the whole process of talking to cops and administrators about what happened where someone actually told her it wasn’t her fault.
They make it about the clothes, the situation—“Why did you agree to dinner? Why didn’t you take your own car? Did you lead him on? For once, someone made it about her and her rights. I think this helped her most of all in the process. Everyone needs to respond like this to survivors, in my opinion.
