Rise Up, Oh Heart, For There is Another Battle to Win

weretaire:

baby dragons that sleep in your fireplace and roll about in the soot and the ash trying to get comfortable on burning logs, screeching loudly whenever people walk by or when more logs need to be added to its roost and not stopping until content again

baby dragons with wings that are disproportionate to their bodies until older but nonetheless stubbornly trying to pick themselves up off the ground by running and aggressively flapping and managing to only get a few feet off the ground for a few seconds before crash landing

baby dragons that haven’t been exposed to priceless things such as gems and gold pieces and instead infatuate themselves with other unusual shiny things — like silverware, brass clocks, instruments, and pots and pans

baby dragons who get cold in the winter and crawl up into their caretaker’s clothing (almost always while said clothing is being worn) and curl up as tight as possible and begin to make sounds similar to content purring as they sleep

If a girl feels uncomfortable hanging out with you alone, and you get so offended by that, it makes you angry, she probably made the right choice.

I know I’ve reblogged this recently but still so spot the fuck on.

i wonder if companies that advertise on tumblr realize that i am 300% less likely to buy their product specifically because i saw it advertised on tumblr and i am a creature of spite

I am a social media marketing expert for a living, and I can also 300% confirm this is true.

You should elaborate more on that! Does the spite really influence people’s purchasing habits? I’ve always wondered whether we were tricking ourselves into thinking adverts don’t have their intended effect on us.

Spite absolutely can have an affect on purchasing habits. It’s not that we think we’re ‘above it’ - well, actually, we do, but that’s not what influences whether we’ll purchase something based on an ad on a site like tumblr. It’s invasive advertising that’s the issue. For example, on places like Facebook, ad integration is set up to look the same as a regular Facebook link post. We may not notice it right away, but it will more than likely stick in our subconscious. We’re not assaulted by it.

That’s not what’s happening here. Yahoo is running test advertising platforms to determine what users on tumblr will respond to the best. In case you haven’t noticed, there have been several versions of ads running across here recently, with increased turnover in regards to ads testing. This is tumblr and yahoo working to determine what we’ll respond to. 

The problem they’re facing is that, unlike platforms like Facebook and Twitter, where each post looks the same as the next post, tumblr posts have an almost infinite variety, due to the fact that this is essentially supposed to be the back end dashboard to our own completely customizable blogs/websites. 

(Truthfully, we probably were never meant to spend so much time on the back end, but that’s what tumblr has evolved into.)

So what that means is tumblr has a problem in that they need to get ads to us that people will respond to, and they need to do it in such a way that’s not assaulting to the end user (us). Yet, advertisers don’t want to have to create hyper-customized ads that will flow better on a platform like this. They want tumblr to create a template that they can fill in with their ad specs, and be done with it (we ad/marketing people are just as fucking lazy as everyone else).

So, what this ends up meaning for us is lots of ads we hate, and ads we won’t respond to, because we want tumblr to stay streamlined the way we like (see: all hate spewed at every update ever), and that can’t happen if yahoo wants to make money off of their gagillion-dollar deal. They will keep testing ad variations on us to figure out what works, which none of them will because every ad they integrate is seen as an ‘interruption’ by us. Oh, and it doesn’t help that tumblr users are some of the most viscous people in social media. You give us an ad that gets in our way, and we’ll tear you four new assholes. 

tl;dr Yahoo wants to make money off of us with ads that don’t work because the advertising industry is too lazy to make ones that will. And we’re the ones who suffer for it. 

The companies that are winning the tumblr marketing game are the ones like dennys that create their own blogs and manage to make their posts so entertaining that people willingly reblog them. Unfortunately for Yahoo, they haven’t figured out how to monetize that  yet.

They will feel guilty like it’s their fault and not ask for necessities when they run out.

Don’t fucking do it.

Don’t use money AGAINST your kids either. Don’t EVER tell them money is tight when it’s not, and they KNOW it’s not. That’s another way for them to not trust you or to feel guilty when asking for anything. 

Also don’t use money as a guilt tactic for them not doing something or not agreeing with you.

“I buy your food and your clothes and this and that and this is how you repay me?”

They didn't ask to be born, you made the choice to have a child and take care of them as a responsible parent. Don’t throw that guilt on them and make them feel like shit over what they couldn’t control.

say it with me:

don’t shout stuff at concerts you’d feel uncomfortable telling them in person OR something you know would make them feel uncomfortable

Some alternatives are:

“I APPRECIATE YOU”

“YOU LOOK NICE TONIGHT”

“YOUR MUSIC MEANS A LOT TO ME”

“YOURE MY FAVORITE BAND”

“WE LOVE YOU VERY MUCH”

“I don’t have to put up with abusive people just because they have a personality disorder.”

Absolutely correct.

“People with personality disorders are abusive by default.”

Stop.

I thought this was common knowledge? O.o well, passing it on to educate others :)

Actually female is the default genetic setting so penises are just giant grotesque clitorises.

josh duggar molested girls (including his sisters) from 2001-2005 and his parents knew about it and so did the church and local law enforcement

and he’s out there, never been punished, and has the fucking nerve to say that gay marriage is this country’s greatest threat. 

Okay see I keep seeing people reblog this asking for receipts so here you go.

Also, the original post was just a rant that I didn’t expect to get so much attention so let me explain in further detail so you know what’s going on. Here’s what we know for sure:

• Josh Duggar molested 5 girls, starting in 2002
  
• After the first girl came forward, Josh Duggar admitted it to his parents who “disciplined him themselves”
• After the second girl came forward, the Duggar family notified their church who allegedly sent him to a “Christian Counseling Program”
• Michelle later claimed this never happened and his was just sent to live with a family member for four months.
• After more accusations in 2003, Jim Bob Duggar and some church elders took Josh Duggar to the police station for a “stern talking to” from a state trooper.
• Said state trooper was later convicted himself for child pornography charges
• In 2006, the Duggar family was to be interviewed by Oprah who heard about the situation, causing a full blown police investigation to occur and the family lawyered up (it should be noted several lawyers went all “fuck no” to the case and wanted no part of it).
• The statute of limitations has since expired, leaving Josh Duggar free from conviction.

Here’s just some in general horrifying information:

• His wife fucking knew about the whole time and has now put their children in danger. 
  
• His parents fucking knew about the whole time and put their children in danger
• His church fucking knew about and put the public in danger

I’m disgusted get these disgusting people off tv

a 90’s kid? don’t you mean sad adult?

70,000 people have reblogged this but no one is trying to defend themselves

There is nothing to defend

#i read a post once that described 90s kids as the generation of nostalgia #because so much technological advancement happened in such a rapid timeframe when we were growing up #that we can clearly remember having technologies that are now obsolete #like going from a corded hugeass phone to a small computer in your pocket just within our formative years is a major thing #and it sparks a nostalgia for our seemly ‘simpler’ childhoods #because so much rapid development makes it seem like it was a lot longer ago than it actually was (x)

also we grew up in an era of booming economies and promised an adulthood of prosperity and endless opportunity such that if only we got good grades and went to college we would spend the rest of our lives enjoying life in the future.

and then the economy crashed and the jobs disappeared and we’re all tens of thousands of dollars in debt and either unemployed or working undercompensated overtime trying to keep jobs that don’t quite cover the necessities after we’ve made our student loan payments and the idea of affording a house or a marriage or kids is some giant bitter joke.

If we’re sad, it’s on the same line as that old saying about how if they really want to punish you, they don’t just send you to Hell, they give you a tour of Heaven first.

myloveisdrivenbyrage:

Today at Easter dinner, one of my dad’s friends, who I haven’t seen since I was a kid, came up behind me while we were taking pictures and pinched my butt. So I turned to him and said quietly (because I didn’t feel like making a scene) that he was not allowed to touch me that way because it was inappropriate and he laughed in my fucking face and said “Oh, right cause you’re a liberal.” And so I said to him, in the loudest voice possible, that no, it was because I was a fucking human being and my body is mine alone and no one can touch me without my complete consent and if he ever even thought of pinching my butt again, I would punch him in the face. And the whole party was staring at us and you could see how uncomfortable he was even though he tried to laugh it off, and then my dad told him to leave. So, girls, boys, and everything in between, if anyone EVER touches you without your consent in a sexual manner, CALL THEM OUT. Let everyone around you know what they did and tell them to never do it again. Don’t laugh or smile or even frown it off, then walk away (unless it endangers your safety.) Expose them for what they are.

If you ever trip and fall in public, get up, laugh to yourself, and say to anyone looking: “Sorry, it’s just been so long since I’ve inhabited a body.” 

I did that once. Fell over and saw a guy staring at me. Got up and wandered past him muttering “too many legs, this body has too many legs, must fix that in the next phase”   Look on his face was fucking priceless.

one part of the male gender role I can’t stand is thinking that being irritating and pissing women off is funny???? every man I’ve met thinks that’s hilarious and gets mad when I’m not into it. like why did no one teach them to shut the fuck up
