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

the-random-fandom-phantom:

IF YOU THINK THAT I’M GOING TO SIT AND WATCH A SIX  TO SEVEN HOUR MOVIE JUST BECAUSE IT’S AN EXACT REPLICA OF ONE OF MY FAVORITE BOOKS WITH EVERY SINGLE WORD AND DETAIL INCLUDED then you are absolutely right, just let me make some popcorn and get some drinks, we’re gonna be here awhile

When you come out of Mad Max: Fury Road walking proudly with your chest held high, the cold gleam of death in your eyes, feeling more powerful and badass than you did before, and realize this must be what guys feel like every time they walk out of an action movie

squirrelstone:

Okay, but imagine the first time Steve and Bucky hear the term “feminazi.” Some dudebro at a convention or public event the team is forced to go to calls a woman a feminazi, and Steve and Bucky just lose it and start yelling at the guy because they’ve lost friends to actual Nazis, and a woman standing up for her rights as a human being is not comparable to slaughtering millions of people.

acceptable problems to have with Caitlyn Jenner, you go, you critique those mainstream narratives

• as a wealthy, white celebrity, her experiences aren’t representative of those of most trans women
  
• she’s described herself as conservative, which, even though she hopes to make the Republican Party more trans-inclusive, implies some other oppressive views
• a lot of trans people don’t conform to cis beauty standards and that’s just fine
• the narrative of visibility as a goal is really problematic for trans people who are placed in danger by hypervisibility
• “trans media moments” like this don’t do very much if they focus on one successful trans person instead of the systematic oppression we face
  
• cis “allies” who fetishize trans women but don’t show up when trans people need solidarity

unacceptable problems to have with Caitlyn Jenner, get off my blog, you transphobic trashpile

• you think trans people are gross
  
• you think trans people’s identities aren’t valid
• you’re uncomfortable finding trans women attractive
• seriously if you have any issue with Caitlyn Jenner being trans, shut the fuck up and please never speak again

I have some issues with the acceptable critiques of Caitlyn Jenner.

While she is not representative of the majority of trans women, she doesn’t claim to be and it doesn’t mean she shouldn’t be able to share her story.

She’s been conservative for a good while to my (admittedly weak) knowledge. Criticizing her now vs. criticizing literally every other conservative celeb is problematic.

Does Caitlyn ever say that not conforming to cis beauty standards isn’t ok for trans women to do? If she wanted to conform that is her decision.

As long as Caitlyn Jenner transitioned there was inevitably going to be huge media coverage and visibility. Caitlyn in my opinion chose the right path since an in depth conversation of about transphobia, pronouns, respect in a wider audience is so much more constructive than tabloids filled with transphobia.

Caitlin isn’t in control of what the media tells about and did this for her well being.

Cis allies are going to suck, that’s not Caitlyn’s fault it’s the shitty allies.

Like I feel these are problems with media and it’s portrayal of Caitlyn Jenner, not of Caitlyn Jenner as the post frames it.

Idk it’s 5 am and I haven’t slept yet so if I’m missing the point/wrong/offensive I apologize in advance and please let me know.

• you have an interview next week. you always have an interview next week. The managers who interview you all seem to share the same pleasant, blank face. They promise to call you back in a few days. They never do.
  
• they say the minimum wage is going up soon. 
• you must have two years of experience. you must have five years of experience. you must have ten years of experience. experience in what, exactly? the job requirements bleed into an ancient latin text as you attempt to decipher them. 
• the people in the photos in the craigslist ads smile eerily at you. their eyes seem to follow you around the room even after you click away from the job posting.
• do not apply in person, the posting says. do not send in your resume. do not apply. we’ve lost too many employees to the creature as is.
• you plan on leaving your job soon. you’ve been planning on leaving your job soon for months. you keep making excuses as to why you haven’t left your job yet, but you know deep down that even if you put in your two weeks tomorrow, you wouldn’t leave the company as the same person you were when you applied. if they let you leave alive at all.
• you seem to see “help wanted” signs everywhere. when you enter and inquire about them, the employees wave you away. you hear their cries for help again as you leave.
• you are more than qualified for the job that you are applying to. you are over-qualified for the job you are applying to.
• you do not get the job.

Oh god.

• You begin interviewing the interviewer. You know everything about the company, the position, and the person across from you. You don’t like them very much. So you start to train them. Now they know better. They still do not hire you.
• A third person comes into the room, you’ve been sweating in your chair for over two hours now. You don’t know why you’ve had three identical conversations with nonidentical people. Maybe it’s a test? Is this the comprehension portion? You always aced those tests.
• The personality test says you’re a level 35, and you’re glad. You didn’t feel like a level 17, and no one ever hires level 2 personalities. You add the results with all the other tests in the filing cabinet you can no longer close. The papers that spill out have line after line of your personality traits as if they’ve unraveled your genetic code. You need to fit into the personality group of the company.
• You wake up from a fugue state surrounded by writing samples, clutching your chest, heart hammering. It’s four in the morning.
  
• You wonder if 401K is the name of the ghost down the hall. You catch them from the corner of your eye, but you’re never really sure if they are actually there.
• A question is asked by one person, but it echoes, a multitude of voices saying the same things, over one and the other. You have been here before. You feel cold. 
• Tell me about a problem you had and how you solved it?
  
• I am stuck in a loop. Everything is the same. I wake up, I eat, and go to this interview, and then I go again. Every time, the same questions are asked and I can’t stop them. Nothing stops. You just don’t remember me, but I’ve been here before. I remember it all. Everything.
  
• You tell them about the time you solved a problem using customer service skills.
  
• They tell you there’s plenty of jobs out there, They do, Them. You just have to look, so you pick those up. Find some jobs, NO NOT THOSE ONES, THOSE AREN’T REAL JOBS. GO GET A REAL JOB You’re scared. Why are They mad? What did you do? You worry if your job is REAL. Are you real?

The real problem with books-turned-movies isn’t “omg they didn’t include every single word in the book” it’s “omg they completely overlooked the main theme, threw out any significant allegories, took away all the emotional pull, an turned it into a boring action movie with a love triangle in it”

onlinecounsellingcollege:

1. See it as something that is temporary. Even though it hurts now, it doesn’t mean it’s permanent. You’ll find other people who will treat you well – so be gentle on yourself and recognise that it will pass.
2. Learn to enjoy your own company. See it as a time to reflect on your life, and really think through what you want for yourself. Also, find different interests you can do on your own – and maybe try something different you’ve never tried before.
3. Spend time looking after animal. Pets are accepting, reliable and loyal. They’ll never hurt your feelings – and are good company.
4. Treat other people you meet really well (talk to people at the checkout, or smile at those you meet). That will likely result in a warm, friendly response – and will remind you that others still appreciate you.
5. Hang out with those who like the same things as you. If you’ve taken up a hobby or you like watching sport, speak to people you meet at these events. Even though you don’t know them, they are still good company.
6. Don’t let this bad experience hold you back. Keep reaching out to others, have the courage to take risks and eventually you’ll find someone who will be a loyal friend – someone that you like and who will treat you well.

Once some guy mentioned that when i laugh my mouth looks really weird and now whenever i laugh around people i don’t know 100% i cover my lower face with my hands. 

A girl who didn’t like one of my friends told her that her eyes squint different sizes when she smiles, and now whenever she’s happy she look’s down or away.

You’ve gotta be careful with what you say to people, because it might turn their happiness into insecurities.

honestly though why is no one talking about when nux told max “Well, you can ask for more than a jacket,” after he took his jacket back

because honestly that was the cutest part of the movie

He was so positive that Max was on his side, sweet babe

And Max is just like ‘what is /up/ with this weirdo?’

That whole conversation is gold, like Nux is just so happy that they “captured” Furiosa and thinks Max is on his side and he’s like “YAY!! GO TEAM wow we could totally ask for like whatever we want, Senpai is gonna be so grateful, I wanna drive the cool War Rig, what are you gonna ask for huh bloodbag??? :D”. And then Max just like hauling the jacket off him and Nux neither resists nor tries to make the jacket removal any easier, he just stands there while Max pulls the jacket off. And like “LOL bruh that’s all you want is a jacket LMAO like you could probably ask for more than that IDK” and then Max drops him with a hit to the solar plexus. And Nux spends the remainder of the scene huddled in pain in the dirt behind everyone else while the other characters do actual important stuff. :’D 

LITERALLY HILARIOUS

He’s so happy and then gets thumped right in the chest

It’s so funny to me because you have all this serious stuff that happens after that, Max taking the rig and leaving the distraught wives behind, Furiosa’s badass dialogue– “Out here everything hurts, pick up what you can and run”, etc – and then behind it all you have sad little trashbaby, lying on the ground with his knees pulled up to his chest, just silently like “BLOODBAG NO, I thought we were brothers, I thought we were friends, why have you forsaken me”.

“WHY BLOODBAG WHY?” D:

///that’s so funny///

dyinghistoric:

what if you were in bed tonight and you were really lonely and sad and you were lying with your arm hanging out over the edge of the bed into the darkness and just as you were going to sleep, the darkness reached out and held your hand

i made a thing

This is beautiful.

I cried

I love this. The darkness is usually portrayed as something sinister but I think it’s beautiful.

hello darkness, my old friend…

I think that people forget that condoms protect you from more than just pregnancy.

And there is no morning after pill for HIV.

ACTUALLY THERE IS.

It’s called post exposure prophylaxis.

http://www.who.int/hiv/topics/prophylaxis/en/

If you’ve had unprotected sex and are afraid of possibly being at risk for HIV, please go to the emergency room and ask about POST EXPOSURE PROPHYLAXIS.

Works for up to 48 - 72 hours after exposure to HIV.

BOOST!

you can get it in the UK for free

Bruhhh

I punched a guy bc he was making rape jokes and one of the things he said was “what’s the difference between yes and no? Nothing” so I asked him if he’d care if I punched him in the face and he said yes but I did it anyway since there’s no difference between yes and no and that’s the story of how I gave someone a bloody nose

There’s over 300 languages spoken in London

Less than half of the population is white british

There are large areas with little to no white population

so if your show is set in London and has an all white cast you’re not even being remotely accurate

See Also: New York

los angeles is only 40% white yet look at every single tv show in LA :/

how do people on tumblr become so interesting that people actually willingly ask them about their life like i’ve been here for 3 years and i’m pretty sure half of you don’t even know my name

I asked one of my (male) friends to stop using the phrase “man up” and he has been using “fortify” for the past two weeks instead and it’s just a little thing but honestly it makes a difference

and tbh it’s also pretty funny when I start to deflate in the library and he leans over and goes “FORTIFY”

Dude, fortify is bangin’. That makes things like you’re some kind of RPG character. Fortify is way better than “man up.”

Girls, if something about a guy scares you or makes you uncomfortable, get away from him as fast as possible. Listen to your instincts. Don’t make excuses. Just run.

Because like a thousand people have felt the need to add comments like “Boys, if a girl scares you” or “People, if a person scares you” and “this goes for everyone” and “this shouldn’t be gender specified” I am going to make it very clear that this post is for girls. 

THIS POST IS FOR GIRLS.

Why? Because girls are socialized to not be rude, not ‘be a bitch’, to not hurt a man’s feelings, and that they’re being silly and overreacting if something they can’t explain makes them afraid. Because girls are preyed on by men who use every one of these things to their advantage, who lure girls into their control and molest them, rape them, beat them, and kill them. Because it happens every fucking day and girls need to know that if something feels wrong, they need to get the fuck away from that man.

You don’t like that this post is gendered? I don’t like that girls are abused and date raped and murdered every fucking day and they are STILL pressured to “give him a chance” when a man makes them uncomfortable. So get off your pretentious fucking high horse and support girls instead of telling me “this goes for everyone”.
