“On the day when it will be possible for woman to love not in her weakness but in strength, not to escape herself but to find herself, not to abase herself but to assert herself –on that day love will become for her…a source of life.”

dear nerd girl,

this song is for you.

and if it doesn’t help lick the wounds, you can always count on george.

sincerely,

you twenty years later.

from here.

found this gem by way of moldy doily and am resisting the purchase of the tina turner tee with all my might.

because tina turner in a leather mini and jean jacket rekindles the days of living on 13th street and walking down the train tracks with the best friend and his feral dog.

sincerely,

big hair forever
