Like most women, I currently live in a society where violence, harassment and scary shit can break out at any moment, just because I told some random asshole “no” without bothering to be nice about it. Doing that is so dangerous that most women don’t dare; after a few scary incidents, they learn to make up excuses, to smile, to be sweet and welcoming, to act as if every single random asshole on the street is a precious new friend that they would just LOVE to stand outside of the Chipotle and chat with FOR HOURS, if only cruel fate had not intervened. That’s what it’s actually like, being a woman: Playing nice with every random asshole, because this random asshole might be the one who hurts you. And then, if he hurts you anyway, they’ll tell you that you led him on.

Awwwwre You Kidding Me With This of the Day: For her church’s annual “Trunk or Treat,” photographer Stephanie Read of Auburn Soul Photography dressed her tiny son Rizden as Carl Fredricksen from Up.
Pressed for time and with the festivities about to begin, Read says “his is all I could manage with my limited light, time, and hands.”
That costume is so adorable that I don’t even mind that obvious humblebrag.

Never explain. Your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe it anyway.

I’m Remembering’s post of Bony Legs earlier reminded me of this book: The Witch’s Handbook by Malcolm Bird. My dad bought it for me when I was probably 6 or 7. It contained diagrams, recipes, crafts and tips for witches. It was terrifying, disgusting and also very funny. I highly recommend it to other little girls.
OH YEAH!
