It’s actually my uterus saying, “Look, you don’t want a baby this month. I certainly don’t want a damn baby this month. We’re going to make damn sure there’s no baby this month even if I have to nuke the site from orbit.”
Using Tumblr is like renting an apartment and continually asking the landlord to fix the heating, but instead the landlord repaints your living room walls every month.
And you’re like “But I liked the off-white, it went well with my furniture!” but the landlord insists that the hot pink is exactly what the place needs. And the moment you get used to the pink walls and bought things to match them, the landlord comes and paints the room forest green.
So my brother works at a McDonald’s that’s test running serving breakfast later into the day. They used to end at 10:30, and now it goes to eleven… apparently it’s a pretty big pain in the butt.
It used to be that when it came time for the switch from breakfast to lunch, they’d shout out “Ten thirty!” through the store so everyone knew to switch, but now that it’s “Eleven,” my bro says it’s just not as easy to shout, or to hear over machinery and such.
So he started shouting “Elevensies!”
So now it’s a thing and the McDonald’s in my hometown now serves elevensies.
OK BUT BEST PART OF THE STORY
There was a guy who didn’t get it. He’s like, “Whut? Why are you saying that? That’s not a word.”
And someone else shouts from behind the grill “You don’t know elevensies?”
And someone else shouts “Bet he doesn’t know about second breakfast either”
Do you want to know what’s a strange feeling? Having a platonic crush on someone. You go through all the same crap as with a romantic crush, trying to impress them, not wanting to seem over eager, wanting to talk to them all the time. The only difference is, instead of wanting to kiss them until they can’t breathe, you want to rent all of the movies with them and have a sleep over. It’s rather disconcerting.
Black people are literally without exaggeration being lynched and nothing is being done about it and white people genuinely think anyone should care that they’re being compared to mayonnaise *for being racist or insensitive*. these people won’t even read an article about Black people getting killed for being Black until it turns into a worldwide movement, but compile entire posts to actually whine about being criticized for being complacent in benefiting from white privilege.. And they’re dead ass serious too
to the white people have literally responded to this by fulfilling it and saying “I know black people getting killed is bad but stop saying we’re mayo or racist” like if y'all could be more disgusting and soulless I would be amazed..
Am I alone in really really wanting to know who Lily’s friends were??? Who her best friend was??? Was her only bestie really Snape?? Did she get along with her dormmates?? Was there someone who was to her what Sirius was to James?? Was there a girl in her life who was so important to her she was or could have potentially been Harry’s godmother??? I’m sorry for bugging you with this but it’s 2 AM where I live and I was unceremoniously hit by Lily Evans feels
Noooo you aren’t alone!
Talk to me about Lily’s room mates, about them sitting together that first night and awkwardly introducing themselves until one of them blurts out how much they love the braid Lily is wearing and she beams and tells them about her older sister who “isn’t magical but can make the best hairstyles!” and they’re so excited they only settle down around 11z
Tell me about them messing around with make-up for the first time and getting it EVERYWHERE, Lily laughing as one of them manages to get nail polish on her nose and can’t get it off again because the other used a semi-permanent sticking charm.
Tell me about Lily crying because Petunia won’t answer her letters and the boys made fun of her when they saw she was upset and it’s the worst. Tell me about girls wrapping her up in a hug and taking her to the kitchens for hot chocolate and reassurances that it’ll be okay.
Tell me about getting their first periods and rolling around in pain and making up stories where they’re the heroine who is bleeding to death until “hey Mary do you have some more of those muggle painkillers”.
Tell me about her friends telling Lily that Snape is bad news, and she’s angry at them but at the same time grateful because she needed to hear that from someone else.
Tell me about the roommates noticing James teasing Lily all the time and rolling their eyes because, yeah, he didn’t mean it maliciously, but turning her skirt fluorescent pink was still a shitty move, and taking turns sending pinching hexes James’ way (and some Sirius’ as well because the boy did something to deserve it for sure). (Remus totally noticed but only smirks, so the girls decide they like him best, except for Mary, who thinks Peter is the cutest ever)
Tell me about girls consoling each other when family members die, when they lose friends and realize they’re not safe at all anymore, that there might come a point where they have to start distrusting each other, but today is not that day, and they need hugs.
Tell me about them being excited when James and Lily end up together, but do not hesitate to tell him that “if you hurt her I’ll kill you. We all will” - James’ eyes widen but then wraps them all in a group hug because “Lily’s mates are my mates”.
Tell me about Lily’s bridesmaids!!! Cute little matching dresses and endless hours of fitting and complaining and so much free champagne. Also cake?? “How about we just wear our school uniforms it’d be so hot” “NO, Emmi.”
Also hello, I know no one wants to hear this, but who do you think organized the funeral? Between Sirius being in Azkaban and Remus probably buried in self-hatred, it would have been organized by the Order or smth, so I bet Lily’s friends talked to McGonagall and they decided on the simple ceremony, with so many flowers, and all of them wore black robes but a lily in their hair.
tbh i’m here for my boys too, like i’m here for every boy who cried alone, wiping away tears quickly and guiltily, because crying wasn’t “manly”, i’m here for fat boys, skinny boys, boys who rejects hyper-masculinity and are shamed for it, i’m here for every boy who was laughed at in the locker rooms, every boy who loves lipstick and mascara, and every black or brown boy who is afraid to walk home at night because of violence that may come from anywhere in society but is always targeted at him, i’m here for every boy who was told he wasn’t a boy, i’m here for every conflicted boy who must choose between what he believes is right and what he was raised with, i’m here for every boy who was manipulated by this twisted patriarchy we all exist in and is trying in some way to make things right.
but can we consider that Rhodey does, in fact, outrank Steve Rogers?
now picture rhodey meeting steve and steve snapping a salute
that is all
and Rhodey would be totally serious about it until the second Steve walked out of the room and then he’d totally turn and look at Tony with crazy eyes and Tony would be like “JARVIS TOOK PICTURES FROM EVERY ANGLE YOU’RE WELCOME”
“Yes, being in a female dominated field, I do know what it means to be marginalized. “
oh
my
god
omg
oh my fucking god
The really ugly part is they’ve actually done multiple sociological studies on this, and guess what the result is? Men in female-dominated fields aren’t marginalized at all; they get special treatment and are fast-tracked to the top, getting more credit for their work, faster promotions, and greater pay and benefits than their female colleagues.
If you’re ok with using the word “feminazi” please just unfollow me.
I don’t feel like reblogging the offending post, but I’m not kidding.
Don’t disrespect either the feminist movement or the reality of the Holocaust that way.
You think someone’s feminism is problematic, cool. Critique it. But don’t throw that word around.
If someone is putting men down because they’re men I will call them a feminazi because it’s similar to what Hitler did - put groups of people down without any good explanation.
I’m sorry, by “putting men down” did you mean IN FUCKING GAS CHAMBERS????
Because I’m pretty sure you can’t equate feminism to THE BLOODY HOLOCAUST.
You can’t even equate BAD feminism to the Holocaust. Because bad feminism hasn’t KILLED MILLIONS OF PEOPLE.
I’ll say it one more time: if you’re ok with using the word “feminazi” get out. You cannot equate the systematic obliteration of people with the desire for equality among the genders.
DON’T DISRESPECT THE SURVIVORS AND VICTIMS OF THE HOLOCAUST WITH SHITTY TERMINOLOGY.

Pedophilia in the Black community is such effin big elephant in the room.
We talk so much shit about these young Black girls getting pregnant while in school or whatever but not the fact it be niggas in they 20’s 30’s impregnating them.
I swear this behavior is so normalized in the hood.
Cat calling 10 year olds with body and shit.
This is fucking huge. Please stop this. Men have been cat calling me since I was fucking 12.
It’s so sad. Being told at the age of 10 to watch out for a certain uncle or cousin. Why have the conversation with me, a child? And not this grown ass man?
another discussion that’s needs to be touched based and throughly spoken on
They’ll scream to the top of their lungs that “it’s not that serious”. But it is. It’s nasty. Even as a joke it’s opening up the idea that a pedophile can try it. A pedophile feels fucking validated when you tell those jokes. Quit perpetuating and normalizing pedophilia. The only way to yank it at the roots is to hold all grown folk accountable.
You know what’s worse? Look through the notes.
Look at the ratio of men to women/nb reblogging this.
I have had grown men after me since I was 13. So fucking sad and disgusting.
if your parents bought you a car, don’t ask why i don’t drive yet. if your parents pay for your college, don’t ask why i’m not going to school. if your parents paid for your apartment, don’t tell me i should move out. not everyone gets the handouts that you do.
Omg thank u thank u thank u thank u thank u fucking thank you . Each and everything I have is because I’ve been working from 14.
“Can I kiss you?” is probably the cutest thing you can ever hear someone ask.
Yes. Yes, let’s romanticize actually asking for consent verbally. Let’s stop making it out to ‘ruin the mood.’ This is so important.
My boyfriend says “Can I have a kiss?” Every time he wants to kiss me, no matter if he just kissed me three seconds before that. As soon as we stop, he will ask again for another one. And if I just peck him on the lips but he wants a longer kiss, he’ll say “No, can I have a real kiss?” Today he asked me if it bothered me that he always asks.
No. This will never bother me. This means he respects what I want.
This, gentlemen (and ladies) is how you acquire consent. Even if you just had sex ten minutes ago, that doesn't mean consent is assured the next time. You must always have consent.
Asking “Can I have a kiss?” will not turn a girl off. I can pretty much guarantee it. If anything, it will do just the opposite.
I have played truth or dare (and other variations) many times, and never has any guy asked before kissing me. HOWEVER, I have made it abundantly clear that if I do not want to kiss them, I won’t
everyone here is so quick to preach about how aromantics, demiromantics, and grayromantics are erased, but what about the rest of the arospec kids?
what about the quoiromantic kids, who can’t tell if the attraction they’re feeling is romantic or platonic?
what about the cupioromantic kids, who don’t experience romantic attraction but want to be in a romantic relationship?
what about the lithromantic kids, who feel romantic attraction but don’t want it reciprocated or lose the attraction when it is reciprocated?
and especially, what about the aroflux kids, whose romantic orientations are always on the aromantic spectrum but whose position on it fluctuates?
we’re doing a great job of making sure that everyone on this site knows that aro, demi, and gray aro kids exist, but please remember that those are not the only three places you can be on the aromantic spectrum. the rest of us are here and we matter just as much as the other arospec kids.
can we start a club for teenagers who were constantly complimented on their intelligence when they were younger and are now having trouble coping with the realization that they’re actually of average intellect at best
can this club have a support person that helps us to study because we didn’t need to before so we don’t know how to now
xkit guy can’t save us because y’all circulated a post calling him a predator with 100% no proof and he had a mental break because of all the unfounded hate messages and posts and hasn’t updated xkit since
I looked it up and that is 100% what happene oh m god
fuck
he was so important what tha fuck
burn this site to the ground
Oh my god you can’t
This website is a damn cesspool
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
I would actually like to know the answer to this
As a bio major and female I can confirm: there’s one alpha cycle that others conform to. The female with the most estrogen is typically the ‘alpha female’ and the cycle that’s followed by others. I’ve had friends go ‘wow this is so weird my period came like a week early’ and I’ve been like ‘lmao sorry my b’
Oh wait. I thought they meant like the moon or something.
So one of my co-counselors at a middle/elementary school camp I’m working for has a SUPER cool necklace that incites a conversation with nearly every person he meets.
“Is that real?!”
“How do you water it?”
“Where’d you get it?”
And I figured this company could use the advertisement boost it deserves among Tumblr bloggers who seem to adore small plants.
CHECK OUT THESE COOL LITTLE DUDES:
They would make a super awesome gift!!
They’re surprisingly inexpensive; only $4.99 each!!
You only need to water them around once a month!!
And watering them is super easy; you just submerge them in a shallow layer of water for a minute or two!! You don’t even have to remove the capsule!!
Just look at how adorable they are!!
These are the actual size measurements of the capsules:
Height - 1.5 in (4 cm)
Width - 0.23 in (17 mm)
So you can carry one with you wherever you go!!
They can live within the capsules from 3-18 months depending on the plant and care provided.
Once they grow big enough to leave the capsule, you can move them into these really cute pots sold by the same company (you can find pictures in the link below).
There’s actually no reason why you shouldn’t buy like 5 dozen of these babies.
You can attach them to your bag, or to your phone as a charm
or you could make a necklace out of them like my co-counselor did!
DON’T RESIST THEIR ADORABLENESS AND YOUR TEMPTATION TO PURCHASE ONE (OR TWO OR THREE)!
^I think I might get this one for myself!
TLDR; THEY’RE SUPER INEXPENSIVE, EASY TO CARE FOR, AND THEY MAKE A FABULOUS GIFT FOR ANY OCCASION!
whatever you do: don’t tell your baby girls that when a boy is mean to them, it’s because he has a crush on her. don’t teach your little girl that abuse is a sign of affection.
don’t
do
it
ON THE FLIP SIDE,
Don’t ever ever tell boys its okay to show affection in that way.
Just introduced a kid to her adoptive parents. They brought her a dozen roses. We met at a restaurant. I arrived early to get a private booth and told the waitstaff what was up. So all the servers were having a cry in the corner. I’m at a coffee shop a few miles away, giving them space and having my own cry.
Adoptive mom clarified to me later: roses were pink because pink means forever.
What’s more important than the roses, though, is they also brought her a luggage set so she wouldn’t be moving her things in garbage bags. The luggage matches theirs, cause it’s family luggage for family trips.
I’m not crying, you’re crying. 😭😭
This is what I want to do with my life! These are the things that make it worth it 😭😭😭😭
Ok so a few years ago my brother got married on April fools day, and he called my dad and he was all “dad guess what I got married” and my dad was like “haha funny happy April fools day” except my brother had actually gotten married. So a few months later, my brother calls “hey dad, Sara’s pregnant” and my dad’s all “wth who’s sara” and my brothers like “my wife. We got married on April fools day so you didn’t believe me, remember?” And long story short my niece just turned 4 and my dad is still pissed about that
