Man, we do some weird shit.

1. Wake up in the middle of the day.

Alright, it's 1 pm, I guess I can wake up now. Is it still considered breakfast, or do I eat lunch? Some people are only halfway through their day and I'm just waking up. How grand is this!

2. Eat some weird shit.

Well, I don't really want to eat breakfast, but I need to eat some sort of breakfast item. What about like eggs, with some chips and soda. Both breakfast and lunch! Maybe I'll even make an egg sandwich so I can say I had eggs for breakfast and sandwich for lunch. Perfect! Wait but look at that gallon of ice cream. It's staring me down.

3. Have a dance party.

"What's that? A hat? Crazy, funky, junky hat. Overslept, hair unsightly. tryna look like Kira Knightly. We've been there, we've done that, we see right through your funky hat."

Lemme just bust out my moves real quick.

4. Watch a show you've never watched.

You know what? Today is the day I'm going to try a new show. I have so many recommendations I just don't know which one to start with.

5. Binge watch something on Netflix

The real struggle is not knowing which one to start with, which ends up leading you to re-watching Grey's for the millionth time.

6. Plan life out

Tomorrow I'm actually going to do something. I'm going to get all this shit done, and next week and the week after. I'm going to make it so far up in the chains I'll be the president. I just gotta follow this plan and I'll be all set.

7. Take a nap

Well, It's only 3 pm, I think I can squeeze in a 2-hour nap. Wake up and eat some popcorn or something. Or maybe I could take a nap at 3:30 pm finish this show and wake up in 3 hours. Yeah, that's better.

8. Make yourself look semi-presentable

I mean if someone decides to show up this hair is not going to cut it. I'll put in in a nice pony tail and have light make up. I'll make these sweats work.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Queen B sums it up for us.

Stop Hollywood

For those of you who have watched "Gossip Girl" before (and maybe more than just once), you know how important of a character Blair Waldorf is. Without Blair, the show doesn’t have any substance, scheme, or drama. Although the beginning of the show started off with Blair’s best friend Serena returning from boarding school, there just simply is no plot without Blair. With that being said, Blair’s presence in the show in much more complex than that. Her independent and go-getter ways have set an example for "Gossip Girl" fans since the show started and has not ended even years after the show ended. Blair never needed another person to define who she was and she certainly didn’t need a man to do that for her. When she envisioned a goal, she sought after it, and took it. This is why Blair’s demeanor encompasses strong women like her.
