Everything's Plenty

I’ve been tumblr free for over a week (and not even sneaky tumbling where I get on and scroll through, but don’t post) and I will still stay away from tumblr until my summer classes are over, another 6 weeks, but I just wanted to check in and say hey. It’s been rough not being on the internet for any reason but school and email, but I’ve still managed to waste the entirety of my free time somehow.

See ya’ll in July. See, I didn’t need tumblr, like I thought I did, after all.

katmeetsworld replied to your post: don’t ever buy a dell computer. they are useless.

I have had my Dell for three years. I have spilled wine, water, coffee, and just about everything on it. It’s a cheap/dinky computer but still works like a champion!

I think I have a much shittier model because it does this thing where it tells me the ac adapter isn’t being recognized by my computer. I even bought a new charger and it still does this shit. If I end up having to buy a genuine Dell charger, it’s gonna be like $70. That’s more than this computer is worth.

don’t ever buy a dell computer. they are useless.

Do this at home: Natural Deodorant by Nuestra Hermana

nuestrahermana:

When I think about sustainability & natural living I think about making things for myself and my family that allow me to save money, resources and be more natural. Most importantly, I think about doing all of these and losing the hefty price tag and capitalization that comes with the “green movement” and “natural living” culture.

That’s right I said it.

Sustainability and natural living should be simple and for the people.

It should be accessible, doable and most importantly affordable. You don’t see that very much. It is capitalized upon, made expensive, pushed by mostly non-POC and can be seem unreachable.

When I saw a post by an amazing woman that goes by the name of fivelettered regarding expensive natural deodorant not working, I couldn’t help but think about what I do for deodorant. That rolled forward on to thoughts about natural living and being sustainable in the sense of being able to make things you use in a natural manner. Saving money, relying on yourself and learning to use resources.

I’ve decided to make a series called Do This At Home. Watch out for these. As always, feel free to reblog.

Natural Deodorant by Nuestra Hermana

You will need:

• 1/4 cup cornstarch or arrowroot powder
• 1/4 cup baking soda
• 5 TBSP coconut oil
• A container that seals tightly to hold your deodorant

(All of these ingredients can be found at the grocery store. None of these have to be fancy or organic.)

1. Take a clean bowl and fork and mix cornstarch or arrowroot powder with your baking soda well.

2. Take your coconut oil and slowly mash it in. Stir it with some force until you have a paste and it is obviously well blended.

3. Put it in your container.

Use a good amount of this under your armpits. It works well but you will see the best results after about 1 month and 1/2. Your body pretty much gets accustomed to it. It’s extremely inexpensive to make and smells fabulous.

hopefully i will actually do this one day because i love the smell of coconuts.

Lena Dunham Addresses Criticism Aimed At ‘Girls’

thugzmansion:

“I wrote the first season primarily by myself, and I co-wrote a few episodes. But I am a half-Jew, half-WASP, and I wrote two Jews and two WASPs. Something I wanted to avoid was tokenism in casting. If I had one of the four girls, if, for example, she was African-American, I feel like — not that the experience of an African-American girl and a white girl are drastically different, but there has to be specificity to that experience [that] I wasn’t able to speak to. I really wrote the show from a gut-level place, and each character was a piece of me or based on someone close to me. And only later did I realize that it was four white girls. As much as I can say it was an accident, it was only later as the criticism came out, I thought, ‘I hear this and I want to respond to it.’ And this is a hard issue to speak to because all I want to do is sound sensitive and not say anything that will horrify anyone or make them feel more isolated, but I did write something that was super-specific to my experience, and I always want to avoid rendering an experience I can’t speak to accurately.”

That’s cool. Then you shoulda just named the show “Rich White Privileged Girls” instead of just “Girls.”
