So today Angelina Jolie had double mastectomy, which is the removal of one’s breasts, to prevent Breast cancer. So instead of praising Angelina on her bravery, men on Twitter decided to ridicule her, even calling her stupid for removing her breasts. For those of you on Tumblr that are attacking Feminists about being delusional about sexism against women and misogyny here’s your fucking proof that sexism and misogyny exists.

This is distressing and awful to see this..

every single one of these people is a bad human being with major character flaws

I will say it’s always refreshing when people go through the effort of labeling themselves as terrible individuals so you know longer have to pay any attention to the dumb shit they say

You know, if I’m ever in Scottsdale, Arizona, I think I need to eat at Amy’s Baking Company.

You know, if I can get there before the IRS shuts it down for being a massive money laundering operation.

Well you do have impeccable taste. First time, or coming back for more?

I don’t understand how we got to the point where we define an author’s ability based off the obscurity of their text. I understand using “said” every time someone speaks can be a little repetitive, but why let a verb decide the emotion instead of the dialogue?

Grand allusions can be enjoyable, but don’t they lose their appeal when that’s all you speak in? If reality is your subject, don’t stray from it. Yes, your characters may be lovers, but odds are they’re not experiencing a physical melding that connects them mentally and spiritually and forever changes their perceptions of each other. They’re just fucking. Your characters aren’t ashamed of it (well at least I hope not), so why should you be? Don’t hide the realness of your work behind clumsy wordplay.

Literature isn’t about flexing your extensive vocabulary skills or in-depth trivial knowledge. There are cocktail parties for that. You’re supposed to be creating a story that the reader can enter and make their own.
