I'm Rachel. I go to Penn State and study what most people would find boring. I enjoy the outdoors, good food, good conversation, and a glass of chardonnay. I'm as varied as my tumblr, but probably more interesting.

just reblogging this because IT’S SO GOOD. i made the veggies last night and only ended up eating a small tortilla because they’re quite filling. so i just enjoyed my other one for a late lunch today :) it reminds me of a taco without the meat because of the seasoning aha. why have i never thought of this? so simple.
simple yet so delicious. can’t wait to make this!

We were discussing homosexuality because of an allusion to it in the book we were reading, and several boys made comments such as, “That’s disgusting.” We got into the debate and eventually a boy admitted that he was terrified/disgusted when he was once sharing a taxi and the other male passenger made a pass at him.
The lightbulb went off. “Oh,” I said. “I get it. See, you are afraid, because for the first time in your life you have found yourself a victim of unwanted sexual advances by someone who has the physical ability to use force against you.” The boy nodded and shuddered visibly.
“But,” I continued. “As a woman, you learn to live with that from the time you are fourteen, and it never stops. We live with that fear every day of our lives. Every man walking through the parking garage the same time you are is either just a harmless stranger or a potential rapist. Every time.”
The girls in the room nodded, agreeing. The boys seemed genuinely shocked.
“So think about that the next time you hit on a girl. Maybe, like you in the taxi, she doesn’t actually want you to.”
Amen.
