Soul Taxonomy

I am Caitlin.
Sometimes I feel I am too old to be using Tumblr, but I do anyway.
I'm a philosophy student.
I want to be a writer and to play with animals on a beach as my super dream job.
I act and model from time to time.

This is my very personal blog. Main themes probably pop-culture, art, literature, philosophy and "feminism". I will post my own thoughts, poetry and other writings, comic book reviews, personal modeling photos, feminist-leaning rants, pseudo-philosophical ramblings, and photos of things I just think are coooool.

I just watched a video about Cameron Diaz posted on this feminist blog, which asked the question, “can a woman be too toned?

Oh, oh, oh, I have the answer! WHO GIVES A FUCK?! For whatever reason, seeing this pathetic excuse for news just made all those years of teen motivation, psycho-babble, “love yourself” bullshit click. You can’t please anyone, so don’t try. Eat your doughnuts, hop off your treadmill and onto your couch, spend all your time on Netflix, put down that hair-dye, set aside that brush, avoid push-up bras at all costs, fart in the face of your friendly, neighborhood Avon lady, and put on your rattiest, most disgusting, sexually repulsive clothes you can find, because chances are, if you did the opposite, people would still complain about how you look anyway. My beauty advice? Give up. You’ll never be hot enough whether you try or not, so you might as well enjoy yourself while not being good enough, instead of watching everyone around you count how many bags of Doritos they can eat in one sitting while you whip out your calculator to count how many calories were in that fat free, sugar free, carb free, crap-on-a-plate delight you just begrudgingly consumed.

Naturally the common people don’t want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood­. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorsh­ip, or a parliament­, or a communist dictatorsh­ip. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.

'Reasons to Beat Your Girlfriend' Trends on Twitter.

reasonstobeatyourgirlfriend is trending on twitter. If this is, in reality, a domestic abuse awareness campaign, I will kiss the feet of whoever came up with it. If it’s not, I still really want to thank whoever started this, because this topic’s popularity is doing the work of human/women’s rights organizations for them. Thank you twitter and assholes alike; you’ve sent such a strong, clear, and distinct message about how many people still seem to really enjoy themselves when producing hypotheticals about beating women.  Why bother producing any of my own arguments about gender inequality, when twitter can do it so well for me?

Next time you go to give me your opinion or advice on something that personally applies to me, please ask yourself, “did she ask for my opinion on the matter?” If the answer is, “no” it’s time to think of something different to say.
