So my friend works in the sound booth at his church and during the sermon, the preacher started bashing on gay people, so my friend muted him. Literally muted his preachers microphone I
a thing i love about the star trek reboot fandom is how strong the fanon is
the films try to portray jim kirk as a jerk kid who spares no second glance to the women he’s been with but we know he’s in truth a feminist pansexual filled with pain and anger at the world that abandoned him over and over and most of all, a home in the stars where he protects his family at all costs
jim is shown only using gaila but we know their relationship was based on mutual agreements and a comforting friendship between two orphans, both of whom are very much alive
uhura is regarded as a convenient girlfriend but we know she’s a brilliant master of languages with the ambition of a queen who doesn’t settle for less than she deserves and never abandons those in need
It’s gotten to the point in the Marvel/MCU fandom where I don’t even know what is entirely fanon and what has a basis in the movies/comics
has Thor ever eaten a pop tart?? did Steve really have his last rites done twice before he got the serum?? is Coulson really Clint and Natasha’s handler?? Does SHIELD even have a position called “handler”?? Did Bucky and Steve share an apartment before the war?? Did Bucky work “at the docks” while they shared an apartment?? Has Nick Fury ever said “motherfucker”?? did Steve have a job with the WPA?? does Coulson like SuperNanny?? Were ‘Bucky Bears’ ever a thing??
sam overhearing girl scouts selling cookies talking about the avengers. “nah, falcon is the coolest one. he can fly! with wings!” and sam backtracks and buys literally every box of cookies they have
sam shows up at steve’s apartment with boxes and boxes of girl scout cookies “THEY SAID I WAS COOL” and steve is like “so you bought….two hundred boxes of cookies?”
bucky and natasha are on the couch like AW YEAH I HOPE YOU GOT THIN MINTS I FUCKIN LOVE THIN MINTS
On Monday, the media was quick to paint a single picture of Baltimore: a chaos scene of violence and mayhem filled with images of looting, rioting, the burning of a CVS and the torching of a police car. But on the ground, a very different story unfolded — and these remarkable photos and videos are proof.
When I took Chloe in for her physical the doctor had her get down to her underwear and the doctor checked her out and then said “I am just going to take a quick peek in your underwear to make sure everything is okay down there” and Chloe said “momma you said no one can look at my privates unless I tell them its okay and I dont ant her to look at them because I dont know her very well.” I told her that it was her choice to have the doctor look or not but that I was right here and I would be sure the doctor did not do anything that was not okay, but if Chloe did not want her to look she didnt have to let her. She looked at the doctor and said very matter of factly “I dont want you looking in my underwear, there is nothing wrong with my private parts, and I dont know you very well” The doctor looked at Chloe and told her that she had the right to say no and that she wouldn’t force her to let her look. She asked her questions about it, like does it itch, does it hurt when you pee and Chloe answered them and then started getting dressed. The doctor pulled me aside and told me that she was a sexual assualt survivor and that she is so proud of my daughter for telling her no, even though she was a person of authority.
I have always and will always teach my children they control their body, even and especially when it comes to people of authority.
I have been writing about this all week and have gone through extensive background here, but Tony Funchess is literally involved in every major civil rights organization in Portland and is days away from becoming the default president of Portland State University.
This man raped two little black girls and STILL thinks there is nothing wrong with that. There might be a place in the world for ex-convicts to rehabilitate or whatever but DEFINITELY not unrepentant repeat offenders who predate on black girls!
It’s possible his opponent might not be able to serve in office so Tony is likely to win by default so you really need to sign this! Please. As someone doing direct action organizing around this - having this petition have a HUGE set of numbers will really help the efforts of students who aren’t being silent!!
so this is my school? and what? and like i’m in shock? and like i don’t know what to do?
They’re “frankenfood” or “dangerous” or “playing God.”
Legitimate problems with GMOs:
Artificially sterile seeds which force farmers to buy new seeds from with every crop from corporations which have a monopoly on said seeds. Especially harmful for smallholdings farms.
Like pesticides, pest-resistant GMOs become less effective at deterring pests over time due to natural selection.
licensing seeds which are then given away as a trial, then requiring farmers to either purchase the license again or destroy their entire crops. This is what at least one GMO corporation did in the wake of Haiti’s natural disaster.
if you spoil age of ultron for me or put those shitty cam quality spoilery gifs on my dash i will put a curse on your family, your future children, your children’s children, and your children’s children’s children. and your dog.
I WILL CAST DISHONOR UPON YOU, UPON YOUR FAMILY, AND UPON YOUR COW. SPOIL NOTHING.
This whole “trust Tumblr blindly” thing is eventually going to kill someone, as I became pointedly aware of on one occasion I was making fun of how poorly a particular bleach-based drain declogger was working on my sink and got a chorus of really dangerously misinformed people telling me to pour vinegar in after it because all cute little cool kid diy home care blogs they’re following talk about vinegar like it it’s the big secret the cleaning companies don’t want you to know.
And I cringed knowing that someday, some Well Actually expert who read a blog article once is going to give that advice to someone who unfortunately didn’t take high school chemistry and isn’t aware that MIXING VINEGAR AND BLEACH MAKES CHLORINE GAS.

shout out to those humans out there that haven’t even hit 18 yet but have been through enough hell to last four lifetimes. your age does not invalidate your pain and experience. i respect you so much.
“No, you can’t deny women their basic rights and pretend it’s about your ‘religious freedom.’ If you don’t like birth control, don’t use it. Religious freedom doesn’t mean you can force others to live by your own beliefs.”—
don’t you dare become a parent and then say “i didn’t sign up for this” when your kid is lesbian, gay, bi, trans, disabled, anything you erroneously consider “abnormal” by becoming a parent you sign up for everything you sign up to accept your child no matter who they are it’s not something you can back out of
