Actually that’s not true, we have a friend that’s seen it that’s still around, but contact is sporadic… anyway we have our smaller up and down cycles that people may or may not be familiar with, but we have larger longer term dips where we become disoriented about interaction in general, so we usually end up holing up a lot or communicating during spikes of emotion or clarity.

We’re at some weird break point, we hit these every so often. We don’t think we have any friends at this point that have actually been through this cycle with us now because they last a number of years.

My boss called me “Tyrone” on accident (My name is Tyrand). She apologized and bought me lunch to make up for it. I didn’t think twice about it, since I’m used to getting called every variant of “Ty-(fill in blank here)”. Then later on I read a quote she keeps in her work area that made me feel kinda special.

“During my second month of nursing school, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions, until I read the last one: “What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?” Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would I know her name? I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank. Before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our quiz grade. “Absolutely,” said the professor. “In your careers you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say ‘Hello’.”

I’ve never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her name was Dorothy.“

This is a very important lesson to learn

i think one of the biggest problems with tumblr is that it’s a blogging platform (personal) which people treat as a forum (public) and there is zero boundary between these two functions. as a result you get people readily and preparedly engaging in public debate with other people who are essentially talking to themselves.

it’s like sitting in your locked bedroom writing in your diary, only at any moment jeremy paxman can pop out and question you on international television

We keep wanting to making another account here to talk to people and stuff, but honestly tumblr is just really bad for us, just too much weird sideways violence from every direction here. Humans are really bad at allowing for difference and working together.

If I had a nickel for every time I said I was going to get my shit together and then proceeded to not get my shit together, I wouldn’t even need to get my shit together because I’d be rich af

If you erase the PoVs and experiences of other survivors simply because they differ from your own then you’re merely continuing the cycle of abuse to save yourself the pain of facing reality.

It doesn’t really matter which “side” you think you’re on.

Don’t worry too much if you haven’t heard from us yet, we still haven’t made a new blog here yet.

The absence of women in history is man made.

How petty

so confused

Jackie Mitchell…a bad ass lady I had never heard of. 

From her Wikipedia page: “Seventeen-year-old Jackie Mitchell, brought in to pitch in the first inning after the starting pitcher had given up a double and a single, faced Babe Ruth. After taking a ball, Ruth swung and missed at the next two pitches. Mitchell’s fourth pitch to Ruth was a called third strike. Babe Ruth glared and verbally abused the umpire before being led away by his teammates to sit to wait for another batting turn. The crowd roared for Jackie. Babe Ruth was quoted in a Chattanooga newspaper as having said:

“I don’t know what’s going to happen if they begin to let women in baseball. Of course, they will never make good. Why? Because they are too delicate. It would kill them to play ball every day.”

Next up was the Iron Horse Lou Gehrig, who swung through the first three pitches to strike out. Jackie Mitchell became famous for striking out two of the greatest baseball players in history.

A few days after Mitchell struck out Ruth and Gehrig, baseball commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis voided her contract and declared women unfit to play baseball as the game was “too strenuous.”^[5][10] Mitchell continued to play professionally,barnstorming with the House of David, a men’s team famous for their very long hair and long beards.^[11] While travelling with the House of David team, she would sometimes wear a fake beard for publicity.”

TL;DR: teenage girl strikes out two of the greatest baseball players ever, teenage girl gets her contract voided, teenage girl plays baseball wearing fake beard

These guys were so fucking injured by a teenage girl’s awesomeness that they literally threw a hissyfit and hung up a sign that said “NO GIRLS.”

They gave up.

They couldn’t handle it.

Losers. 

Teenage girls are amazing.

Here’s a friendly reminder of why the big leagues of sports aren’t co-ed.

It’s not to “make it fair” on women. It’s because men are scared of being beaten by women.

She’s from my home town! And after all the baseball games I’ve been to here, no one ever mentioned her at all. I only recently looked her up online.

Men are the fragile ones.
