2015 trend: answering the question “are you a feminist?” with the question “are you not?” in order to make not being a feminist sound more like the ridiculous, illogical thing that it is.
“They introduce themselves as pro-life. And I say, ‘Oh, I’m so glad. You must be fighting for healthcare for the poor.’ And they look at me like I’m bonkers.”—
My 13 yearold sister got asked out as a joke today. She’s now locked herself in her room crying. I swear to god this is the most fucked up thing ever. She won’t speak to me or my mom and she’s blasting Taylor Swift but you can still hear her crying.
If you ask someone out as a joke, fuck you, you are literally the scum of the earth.
All through middle school it was a game to see if anyone could ask me out and make me believe they meant it but I had such a low opinion of myself that I knew it was always a joke. It’s still hard to trust people are being sincere with this shit. It’s not a prank or a joke it’s cruel, heartless, and can have lasting negative impacts on a person.
okay so my grandma had this friend and he was late to everything, but he didn’t really mind, as he would always joke around and say ‘oh well, as long as i’m not late to my own funeral’.
he recently passed away and last week at his funeral, everyone was in the church waiting for it to begin. they waited for more than 30 minutes past the set time and then came the news:
the hearse had gotten stuck in traffic. the hearse with his body in it.
i just want little disabled girls to know they’re beautiful and that the moon and stars shine for them
and, since it’s april and people are trying to cash in and exploit autistic people for their own gain, i really want autistic girls to know they’re beautiful, and that the moon and stars shine for them
especially autistic girls of color who are hugely misdiagnosed or undiagnosed, trans girls who have being autistic used against them in an innumerable amount of ways by medical professionals, fat autistic girls who are seen as undesirable on multiple axes, autistic girls who are multiply disabled and have their autonomy repeatedly taken from them
you’re all so important and wonderful, and you make this world a lovely place to be
Lets not forget the disabled boys
this post is specifically for disabled girls, and, as my second comment states, especially autistic girls; they have every right to have ONE post celebrating them.
this post in no way implies the negation, or criticism, of disabled boys existence, and it should not be necessary to include them in a post meant to celebrate disabled girls, who experience a unique form of misogyny-driven ableism - the two cannot be separated - that disabled boys do not.
Governor Pence claimed that “We in Indiana are just following the message of the scripture. Jesus never would have welcomed a sinner into his workplace.”
Unless I’m mistaken, Jesus has one job…to welcome sinners into his workplace.

As you should know by now, the lead is an adorable lil 15 year old who goes by Tip and is voiced by Rihanna. Let me tell you more about Tip:
She and her mom (voiced by Jennifer Lopez) are both immigrants from Barbados
She’s a big nerd and, as she proudly says more than once to Jim Parsons’ alien character Oh, got an A in geometry
She was treated different by the other kids and had trouble fitting in
OK LOOK AT HER. SUCH a realistic body! Unsexualized, normal clothes, beautiful curls…love her.
Anyway, this movie is about imperialism. It’s not even trying to be subtle, like, first minute, bam, imperialism. So sassy.
Tip’s mom is looking for her, and describes her as: “she’s got big green eyes and beautiful brown skin.” Score.
The crowd shots in this movie are the most diverse I’ve seen; you can tell what an effort they put in to incorporate people of all races and body types. There was even a casual Muslim couple conversing with another pair (don’t remember their races), several dudes and ladies with dreads, just so much diversity I couldn’t even take it all in.
Dreamworks needs your help!!! They’re in a bit of a financial pinch, and this studio is too good to go under.
i hear a lot about period cycles becoming in sync when women spend a lot of time together, but do they just average out or is there one cycle that’s just like the alpha cycle and makes the other one conform
they average out (in my experience)
there’s been studies on this, actually. i dont have the exact answer but one study conducted showed that people with vaginas “with a need for social recognition and approval from others were associated with synchrony“ [wiki][study] so it’s entirely possible that there is an alpha cycle in someone who is more confident and secure.
This post just turned into a five minute conversation with my two roommates about how, if we all had regular periods (one of them’s on birth control, one only has her period once every few months), I would be the Alpha Cycle. I’m unsure of how this happened.
Sometimes when I go hundreds pages deep into people’s Tumblr archives, I find really funny posts and I weigh the pros and cons of liking/reblogging them.
Pros: I’ll have access to them later because they’re fucking hilarious
Cons: They might think I’m creepy. Despite the fact that it’s public and on the Internet, it is not socially acceptable to let anyone know the extent that you creeped their archives.
I hereby extend blanket permission for anyone to creep on my archive, and to like and reblog posts from it if they want to. It’s really quite flattering.
I notice this happening sometimes, and it always makes my day. Creep away!
I fell in love with you three lifetimes ago and I’ve been looking for you ever since but I’ve been starting to give up and my friends’s new crush has your eyes and oh god I’m not going to steal someone’s date just because I’m hoping you’re the person I met in a past life (jk yes I…
it always really bothered me when wait staff ignored me + my friends just because we were young bc we are all really respectful people but the assumption was that we wouldn’t tip
anyway so fast fowards to when i became a waitress and one day this group of scrubbyass kids came in and i had 8 other tables with other people to look to but i overheard that one kid wanted a milkshake but he couldn’t afford it and the other kids offered to pay but he was like “nonono it’s fine” and i looked over and he just looked real run down and sad and stuff —- later it just so happened that our kitchen had a mixup so we had an extra shake and since it would just be dumped otherwise, i snuck it out to their table and gave it to him for free
and his friends were so fucking impressed by this they pooled every fucking cent they had i got a $50 tip and later his friend’s mom came in and said “i heard what you did for that boy” and gave me another 20 and offered me a better job working with her
and meanwhile at my other table a rich white guy i was serving complained bc he didn’t want to pay the 15% tip on a $8.90 bill and when his wife said “she’s been a good waitress, though,” he said, “but just plain good isn’t worth 15%”
The worst part about mental illness is that doubt that you have it. Like yeah I have a professional diagnosis and I get panic attacks and anxiety attacks for no reason and yeah I sometimes can’t even function enough to get out of bed in the morning but what if I’m just faking for attention??
Everybody look at this post and the notes on it and realise that telling mentally ill people they’re just attention-seeking fakers is a really shitty, gross thing to do.
there was a golden age superman comic where someone called a hit out on clark kent, and so a sniper tried to shoot him while he was out having lunch with lois
except he’s fucking superman so the bullets just fell off his chest into his lunch and clark just had to pretend nothing happened and hope lois wouldn’t notice that someone just fucking shot him
the hitman thinks maybe he just missed and gets ready to shoot him again, but then he’s watching through the scope as clark starts to eat the fucking bullets to hide the fucking evidence, acting like everything is totally normal as he noshes down on lead
dude just packs his shit up and leaves town because reporters in this city eat bullets for lunch and he’s not fucking with that no way no how
You don’t need to have had a fucked up childhood or some traumatic event happen to you in order to have depression/anxiety/panic attacks. You could have had a perfectly normal upbringing with loving friends and family. Mental illness does not discriminate; it can hit anyone at any time. Your feelings are valid. Don’t let anyone make you feel otherwise.
I think it’s so sad when students stop caring at the end of the year. Like ” I don’t give a Fuck if I fail, I just want school to be over” but you can tell they care. They do. BUT the pressure, expectations and the stress that they have been experiencing early in the semester has totally killed their motivation. We spend 9 months studying for a test that we lose motivation for anyways.”
