Rain/moving water has negative ions which cause a biochemical reaction that reduces stress. It’s the same reason people feel more at peace on beaches or by waterfalls. We spend most of our lives surrounded by positive ions created by electronics and recirculated air. A study by Columbia University showed that negative ions can have the same affect as antidepressants.

thank u science side of tumblr

I really hate how “queer” is being used so freely among writers now.

Even non-lgbt people are using it to say shit like “queer characters” and “queer stories” and “queer writers”. If you’re straight and cis don’t fucking use that word. It’s not your word to reclaim.

I’m not fucking “queer”. That word is a slur and not everyone is comfortable with it. Stop using it as an umbrella term. Stop using it to describe every lgbt person. Just because you like to use it for yourself doesn’t mean that everyone else likes it.

I hate the way this word has shoved itself into the writing world. If I see one more post titled something like “new queer books for 2015″ I’m going to jump out a window.

I literally stopped being comfortable with using the term to describe myself when I went back to college and had to sit in classes with straight students and professors using queer without wincing or pausing, with no discomfort whatsoever. Hearing it coming out of their mouths was painful to me. Who the fuck are they to say that so easily and lightly??

Now I wish it never was reclaimed as a way of describing the community because now anyone can use it.

That’s pretty much why I hate it now. Before I was ambivalent, but that sealed it.
