anonymous asked: For the last time, can we please make more of an effort to distinguish between Tea Partiers (capitalized), members of an American conservative political movement characterized by religious fundamentalism, nativism and opposition to social welfare programs, and tea partiers (no capitals), those of us who really like tea and cake and just want to have a little class in this bitch not too much to ask i think
Sorry, crumpet-heads, you might be out of luck on this one.
All I want is to be your harbor.
This is Christine's tumblr. I primarily re-blog things that amuse me, but there will be times where I write my own posts. Expect said posts to concern my material interests or personal life.

"Go into the arts. I’m not kidding. The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practising an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven’s sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something."

Well, this looks vaguely familiar…
I used to feel this way. 2 years out of school, and I finally realized that the only two that matter are the ones on the left.
“Things that I want to do with my life” - the single most important factor. If you want it, you’re more likely to feel satisfied and happy.
“Things that I’m good at” - let this guide you through the things that interest you. If you can find a way to channel what you’re good at with things that make you happy, you are more likely to find success.
“Things that my parents want me to do” - Picking what you want to do with an enormous chunk of your time should be made by you - not parents or ANYONE ELSE.
“Things that are considered realistic occupations” - There is no such thing as a “realistic” occupation. Don’t settle for something boring to you because it seems easy or traditional or *what you’re supposed to do*. Occupations are actually less rigid than they sometimes seem.

So let me tell you about the shittiest parent on the motherfucking planet.
I work at a grocery store and this man comes in with his 11 year old son. He buys a pack a cigarettes and a two cases of beer. The son was holding a two dollar drawing pad and placed it on the belt and I guess the dad didn’t notice it at first but when I was about to scan the pad he asked where’d it have come from and turned towards the kid and asked “Did you put that shit up there?”. He told me to put it back and then told his 11 year old child that he “ain’t paying for that gay ass notebook.”. So I looked at the kid, who was close to tears and saying how he ran out of paper at home and my heart broke. So I gave the pad to him, for free, and told the dad I would take care of it. I gave the kid some tokens for a game outside and said I would look forward to buying some of his drawings and paintings when he’s all famous. He kids face was so priceless and I thought everything was good. But then, about 10 ten minutes after giving the kid his notebook, I walked outside and saw this. The drawing pad all ripped up and tossed on the pavement. I could only imagine what happened in the parking lot, but I know that that poor kid heart is fucking ripped apart, just like this pad.
I’m fucking horrified that there are parents like this, who, just because it’s not masculine or gender specificthey won’t let their children follow their true passions or explore interests that lead to their happiness. Even more so, I’m horrified that parents don’t care about the fine arts anymore because it doesn’t have job security. Since when did it ever matter to a child if their passion makes them money or not? Parenting is about supporting whatever makes your child happy. Have some fucking consideration for your child’s wants not your homophobic and anti-art ideals.
