NBC aired 6,755 hours of Olympics coverage this year — and just 66 hours of the Paralympics. Look at all the awesome sh*t we’re missing! They’re breaking world records and making headlines. Why it makes no sense that there isn’t more coverage:

You can’t get much done in life if you only work on days when you feel good.

I hear men swear with their mother’s mouth, that they will never demean themselves by engaging in woman’s work. I watch women blisters and all scrubbing floors, washing toilets, cooking, mending, folding, and breaking for the men they love. He says in one argument or another “ do you know that the prophet said, if he could order any human to fall into sadjda for anyone but Allah, it would be wives to their husbands.” He says this with his mother’s mouth, her perfect teeth sit behind his full lips, her eyes sit deep on his perfect brown face. I see her cringe behind his eyes. I wonder how a man who looks so much like his mother, could resent her so fully.

Male protagonist to female character: I don't even know why I'm telling you all this personal information, I just met you

Me: You've been socialized to view women as receptacles for your emotions and she can't tell you to fuck off because she's at work and doesn't wanna get fired, next question

The world’s least developed countries are also the ones hosting the most refugees

Making the crisis worse is the fact that the countries hosting most of the world’s refugees are some of the least able to do so. The 10 countries with the largest number of refugees at the end of 2015 were all in developing regions. Half of these were in sub-Saharan Africa, the continent that hosts the largest number of refugees, of 4.4 million, most of them escaping from other African countries like Somalia, South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Sudan, and the Central African Republic.

While Europe hosts almost as many refugees as sub-Saharan Africa, the overall gap between the developing and developed world is large. Developing countries hosted 13.9 million refugees at the end of 2015, compared to 2.2 million in the developed world, according to the UN report.

The notion that the world’s poorer countries are bearing the brunt of a global refugee crisis has led countries like Kenya to declare that it will close its refugee camp of Dadaab, estimated to be the world’s largest.

I wanna kiss you in places you’re insecure about

[aurbol-blog]

sometimes marriage looks like this: going grocery shopping together and finding that your hubs snuck the prettiest cluster of baby’s breath into your cart. long, honest, open talks that fill you up and make you feel safe and heard and cared for. spontaneous weekend trips to the ocean. sweet words. all the kisses all the time. trust. growth. hugs when you get home from work.

sometimes marriage looks like this: staying up til midnight arguing; tears, dark eyes, crossed arms. shaky communication skills. circular conversations that leave you drained. feeling betrayed. feeling distant. feeling alone. feeling misunderstood. selfishness. pride. unmet expectations. unforeseen change.

the challenge is to love, respect, and honour the other person in both scenarios: no more and no less. love should not be conditional. love shouldn’t shift based on circumstances.
