the whole “why do girls travel in packs when they go to the bathroom lol” joke gets a lot less funny when you realize that it’s because we’ve had it etched and engraved into our minds since our parents first started dropping us off at the movies or at the mall that we absolutely always need to stick together with our girlfriends no matter what, even when we go to the bathroom, because the bigger the group we were in, the smaller the chances were of us being harassed or abducted by creepy older men in public.
I’ve started to think about this a lot. Like I think it’s almost instinctual for girls to go to the bathroom together for SAFETY. Not because we’re “silly girls lol”

Alison Goodman’s Dragoneye Duology(Goodreads Synopsis)
Swordplay, dragon magic–and a hero with a desperate secret
Twelve-year-old Eon has been in training for years. His intensive study of Dragon Magic, based on East Asian astrology, involves two kinds of skills: sword-work and magical aptitude. He and his master hope that he will be chosen as a Dragoneye–an apprentice to one of the twelve energy dragons of good fortune.
But Eon has a dangerous secret. He is actually Eona, a sixteen-year-old girl who has been masquerading as a boy for the chance to become a Dragoneye. Females are forbidden to use Dragon Magic; if anyone discovers she has been hiding in plain sight, her death is assured.
When Eon’s secret threatens to come to light, she and her allies are plunged into grave danger and a deadly struggle for the Imperial throne. Eon must find the strength and inner power to battle those who want to take her magic…and her life.
if you’re only going to read one series I recommend to you it has got to be this one. it’s a brilliant fantasy series with only 2 books (how rare!) set in a world based off of ancient Chinese culture. the writing is beautiful and the characters are kickass and DRAGONS. a few reasons you should read Eon:
everyone in these books is POC.
there are transgender characters.
morally grey characters.
woman power.
great battle scenes.
scenes to tear out your heart.
amazing world building.
did I mention DRAGONS?
and only some people can see them?!
dear lord the sexual tension is through the roof.so, please, do yourself a favor and go pick up Eon and Eona from your closest library or bookstore and come scream about this beautiful series with me.

i was at walmart and the old cashier lady was talking to my gramma, and was like, “you should get him to pay for it” … awkward silence as my gma looks around for a guy and the cashier points at me. The awkward eye contact we made. She just. “him…she.”
They shouldn’t have opened their mouth and just done their job. You shouldn’t be embarrassed, THEY should for being so rude and disrespectful in so many ways.
I get dirty looks every time I leave my house because my mother (she’s in her 40′s and I’m 28) carries everything, pays for everything, opens all the doors, cuts my food at restaurants, etc. Some people even say things about how I’m incredibly lazy and how horrible a person I am for MAKING her do these things. What’s REALLY going on? I have a horrible illness that makes all of that incredibly painful and and just walking outside the house more than once a week is a major breakthrough. Because of that, I have no money to pay either as it makes it impossible to get a job off the net (of which I can’t get either because I don’t have those unnecessary addons).
No one EVER has the right to make you feel like you’re not good enough or the way you’re living isn’t right. NEVER.
I think you misunderstood my post a little, I was just joking about how I was mistaken as a guy (the “make him pay” was jokingly said)– but nevertheless, you bring up some unrelated but really important points about general goodness I wanna share ^_^
