Hideously-adorablee

“We teach girls shame. “Close your legs. Cover yourself.” We make them feel as though being born female they’re already guilty of something. And so, girls grow up to be women who cannot say they have desire. They grow up to be women who silence themselves. They grow up to be women who cannot say what they truly think. And they grow up — and this is the worst thing we do to girls — they grow up to be women who have turned pretense into an art form.”

— Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, We Should All Be Feminists

Imagine being mad at women for being nice to each other and tweeting about it:

cute things to give someone

- flowers they like

- fairy lights for their room

- notebooks/pens if they like to write or doodle

- really big hugs and compliments

- a photo album of your shared moments

- a playlist of songs that are literally about you two

- a gift they hinted at a while ago but thought you forgot about

- a handwritten letter about why you love them

- a box of their favourite fruit/sweets

- a book you think they’d like

- some cookies you made yourself spelling their name

- a little potted plant or soft toy

- your entire heart

remember how malia obama never tweeted incriminating emails of herself colluding with foreign powers. i miss that.
