self hatred: beneath sugar-coated criticism + self improvement Self hatred. Could there be a heavier, shame-soaked, cringe-inducing concept? Hating yourself. Hatred. Park that thought for a minute. You’re self-referencing. Self hatred? Me? I used to think my list of self-criticisms, we’re just criticisms. I SORT OF SUCK BECAUSE I SHOULD … (and I bet you can insert your own list here…) lose ten more pounds, work less, be kinder to my man, more attentive to my boy, less concerned about “arriving”, more responsive to my readers, less fixated on Twitter, more informed about world politics, less spendy, more willing to adopt a child, less judgmental of all of the shitty customer service and mediocrity in the world, more motivated to get my ass on my bike, less obsessive about strategic planning, more inclined to socialize, less irritated by small talk, more inclined to do less, and blah-blah-fucking-self-critical-unrelenting-BLAAAAH. I could list 10,000 reasons, here and now, why I’m The High Priestess of Loveliness.

If You're Breathing - yuletide_archivist - Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling Neville almost didn't rejoin the Defense Association sixth year. The DA was more official now, with Professor Dumbledore checking in on meetings and Blaise Zabini from Slytherin hovering in the corners. He didn't like the way it made him feel about the rest of school -- as though school were just the way they passed the time while preparing for war. But, as usual, he'd gone along anyway. And because eventually, no matter how you hid, they'd come for you, too. They all watched while Hannah Abbott and Parvati Patil sparred, until Hannah was disarmed with a neat Expelliarumus and cried defeat. If you're breathing, keep fighting, was Harry's rule. "I'm down," Hannah insisted, humiliated. "Neville," he said. "Against Parvati?" "No," said Harry, "against me. There were whispers and giggles from the class as Harry threw a Jelly-Legs curse.

Written? Kitten! Burnham-On-Sea.com | The Leading Burnham-On-Sea Web site, Somerset, UK Ranked: Disney Princesses From Least To Most Feminist - Page 1 It's hard to be liberated in a clamshell bikini.

Now, I know ranking anything by perceived feminism is problematic, as your professor might put it, but go with me for the sake of discussion. 10. The early Disney films were all strange fables with beautiful scenery and women who made no choices for themselves; Sleeping Beauty is the apex of these. 9. Yeah, about all that sleeping… well, Snow White also conveniently falls asleep for much of this film, and waits to be rescued by a Charming (but otherwise featureless) prince. 8.
