“This is a necessary condition, for if my consciousness were not consciousness of being consciousness of the table, it would then be consciousness of that table without consciousness of being so. In other words, it would be a consciousness ignorant of itself, an unconsciousness - which is absurd. This is a sufficient condition, for my being conscious of being conscious of that table suffices in fact for me to be conscious of it. That is of course not sufficient to permit me to affirm that this table exists in itself - but rather that it exists for me.”

While it has been difficult for our whole family, the only thing I’d change about all that has happened is all the pain my mother has had to endure. Not just during her depressed times, but being ostracized by her friends and by much of our family, by my horrific teenage years in which I developed feelings of resentment and took it out on her, by my younger sister following suit, by being sacked and enduring poverty, the guilt that her illness and its adverse affects has put her under and which she still endures.

But for myself, and very selfishly I would never change her being bi-polar, not least because it’s a part of who she is and I love her for all of her, but also because it has shaped who I am; made me more compassionate, prepared me for life’s struggles later in life, forced me to put things in perspective, it has made me more self aware, has painted my life with many colours that others never get to experience, has helped me understand how truly blessed I am in so, so many ways and, in many respects, my mum’s intermittent madness has made me more sane.

Pityenvy.

Thu, 21 Mar 2013 22:35:23 +0000

Verb. To pity and ridicule another over their ridiculous life choices or approach to any given situation, while envying their ability to do so.

C.I.P: “Oh man, I totally pityenvy my neighbour, he’s been complaining about that fucking hedge for weeks!” Pity their small mindedness, envy that their life is so wonderful that overgrown hedges is all that annoys them.
C.I.P.2: “I’ve been mega pityenvying that my sister, she tried to dye her hair bright green but it went the colour of a swamp.” Pity that her hair went such a terrible colour. Envy that she has the balls to want to dye it green.

Romance worries me. It’s a style of love that has been man made - surely we can see now, much that is synthetic is unsustainable.

A mother’s love, in contrast, is the purest of affections that transcends death, time, sexuality and bad behaviour.

TRIGGER WARNING: RAPE

“RAPE CREW” COACH BLATANTLY DENIES COVER-UP, BLAMES “ANONYMOUS” FOR PERPETUATING FALSE CLAIMS

Two football players kidnapped a sixteen-year-old girl who was possibly drugged and too drunk to resist and took her to several parties where she was then raped. THE EVENT WAS EVEN LIVE-TWEETED BY THE PEOPLE INVOLVED.

From the NYT website: “Twitter posts, videos and photographs circulated by some who attended the nightlong set of parties suggested that an unconscious girl had been sexually assaulted over several hours while others watched. She even might have been urinated on. In one photograph posted on Instagram by a Steubenville High football player, the girl, who was from across the Ohio River in Weirton, W.Va., is shown looking unresponsive as two boys carry her by her wrists and ankles. Twitter users wrote the words “rape” and “drunk girl” in their posts.”

Local parents and authorities in Steubenville, OH are invested in covering the story up, claiming the girl “made it up” to cover up the fact that she drank too much and was out late, and that it’s ruining their football program - despite the fact that there is evidence of these boys laughing and talking about the rape on video and through social media as it happens. DON’T LET THESE SICK BASTARDS GET AWAY WITH IT JUST BECAUSE THEY’RE PRECIOUS FOOTBALL PLAYERS.

(Sidenote: “Dead” is a euphemism for “drugged”.)

HOW ARE WE AT A POINT WHERE WE WILL DEFEND RAPISTS EVEN WHEN THEY HAVE TWEETED, POSTED A PHOTO, AND RECORDED A VIDEO BLATANTLY ADMITTING - BOASTING ABOUT - THE FACT THAT THEY RAPED SOMEONE? WHAT THE EVER-LOVING FUCK.

VIDEO of the rapists’ gloating. Warning: the video is disgusting. In the twelve-minute original, some fucked up shit is said, but what stuck out the most was when someone got disgusted and went to go check on the rape victim and asked Michael (the guy telling all the jokes), “What if that was your daughter/sister?” And he replied, “I wouldn’t care.”

STILL NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVEN’T HEARD ABOUT THIS.

STOP “LIKING” THIS.

FUCK YOUR HIPSTER SKINNY WHITE GIRLS SLEEPING IN FLOWERS AND HOLDING MUGS BLOG AND SHARE THIS INFORMATION.

THIS IS NOT A “SILENT SUPPORT” SITUATION.

I’M NOT COUNTING “LIKES” FOR THE PRIZE OF JUSTICE FOR FUCK’S SAKE. TELL PEOPLE. GET PEOPLE ANGRY. THEY NEED TO BE FUCKING LIVID.

guys, please reblog. this is just absolutely sick.

disgusting pigs

I am on my phone or I would make the trigger warning much bigger and more obvious. This whole scenario is flat out disgusting and wrong. The fact that people like their coach are trying to deny it even happened (when there are photos and tweets and blatant evidence!) is beyond disgusting.
Rape culture at it’s worst.
