one of my main nicknames courtesy of my family is “emmy” and my uncle was like “what if you marry a guy named anthony whose nickname is tony then you’d be emmy and tony”
and then “what if his last name was award”
and then my cousin put in “if you have a son you could name him oscar”
What if oxygen is poisonous and it just takes 75-100 years to kill us?
My science teacher said he thinks that’s true actually
Yeah this is actually pretty much exactly what is going on. It’s why anti-oxidants are such a big deal. Bonus fact: oxygen oxidizes stuff in your cells or, in other words, it’s not toxic, just setting you on fire
very very slowly.
What if there are aliens out there but they subsist on entirely different substances and they’re just scared as shit of us and our crazy ass hell planet? Once in a while some alien anthropologist type suggests checking out the people on this inhabited planet out towards the galaxy’s edge. The other aliens just look at the naive academic with horror. No!! We do not go to that world. That is where the DEATH BREATHERS live. They recreationally consume poisons and are more or less composed of biological fire. Their atmosphere is made of rocket fuel. We must leave the DEATH BREATHERS in peace. Do not go there. Do not.
Change the background colour of the pages to a mint green shade.
It is said that green is a calming colour, however, the main reason why I like this, is because I can write for a much longer period of time now, as a white background I used before made my eyes dry and exhausted after just a few hours of working.
It is basically much more soft and careful to the eyes. I can’t precisely explain why that is. I think it’s that by making a pinch softer contrast of the text and the background, your eyes does not get exposed to as much light.
Just make sure to not make the background too dark, or else your eyes will get exhausted do to over-fixating the lack of contrast between text and background.
And maybe you find a nice pastel/light background shade that fits you; give it a try.
Different things work out and fits for different people. And I just felt like sharing this.
Here’s the shade numbers I used to get my preferred colour:
Thanks for reading.
DUDE
You just solved a very real problem for me! Thanks!

If you are a feminist that is also supportive of sex workers (strippers, cam girls/boys, porn stars, ETC) please reblog this. I am trying to prove a point to someone.
me: *is scrolling tumblr beside my friend who is also scrolling tumblr* me: *sees post relevant to friend’s interests* me: *turns laptop slightly so friend can see post* me: *points* friend: *makes nonverbal sound of extreme joy* me: *returns to regularly scheduled scrolling* my work here is done
if someone is actually sorry then they’ll accept you not forgiving them- a person insistent on your forgiveness is not apologising for hurting you but trying to absolve themselves of any blame or guilt
“women shouldn’t be able to get abortions because it was their choice to have sex” so we should refuse treatment for people with lung cancer because it was their choice to smoke. “not all people with lung cancer smoked though” yEAH AND NOT ALL WOMEN WHO ARE PREGNANT WILLINGLY HAD SEX YOU PIECE OF SHIT.
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.
When your best friend tells you all she had for breakfast Was a packet of Splenda and a Diet Coke, And she tells you that she’ll stop after she loses five more pounds, Do not believe her. Tell her mother. It does not matter how angry your friend gets. The pain of that will always be preferable to the pain Of seeing your best friend in four years Weighing as much as she does now Half-dead in the hospital.
When your father sneaks into your bed in the dead of the night, And he tells you that this is how fathers love their daughters, Do not believe him. Tell your English teacher. She will have read millions of stories of girls like you. There is a one in six chance that she will be a girl like you. There is a five in six chance that she will know what to say to you. There is a six in six chance that she will help you.
When your veins whisper to you in the moonlight And say that there are so many nightmares inside you That could be free If you would just open your arms, Do not believe them. Tell your school’s guidance counselor, No matter how scared you are Because whispers are liars, And opening your arms will only open the passage For more nightmares to climb in.
And when the therapists say that you are better, Totally better, And you don’t need to worry about the sadness again, Do not believe them. Always be cautious, because sadness has a way Of sneaking up on you When you’re not looking. Be careful. Be careful.
women’s shelters specifically for mutant women because regular women’s shelters will turn away mutants. black mutant student organizations. bumper stickers that say “jesus was a mutant.” kids stenciling t-shirts with “magneto was right,” “jean grey died for your sins,” “mutie freak,” queer mutants making jokes about being superior homos. the creation of mutant cultural events and rites of passage such as naming parties for kids just coming into mutant identities, particularly those who have been kicked out of human families. kids going by mutant names on tumblr and arguing about the difference in experience between visible and invisible mutations. mutant punk rock. mutant zines.
Patriarchy:
Women! Your job is to exist for the sexual consumption of men! I will make sure you are reminded of that every day of your life!
Some women:
Okay, I'll just do sex work and make a paid living out of this arrangement that I'm otherwise non-consensually forced to endure.
Patriarchy:
N-No, wait! I didn't mean like it's your ACTUAL job. Sex work isn't a job! You shouldn't be getting paid for the shit men are going to do to you for free. Have some self respect, you nasty slut.
Yes why do you think I bought 15 boxes of thin mints.
Yes, but Girl Scout shouldn’t be a thing, it should just be Scouting of America!!
Girls Scouts became a thing because guys could not and still cannot handle women in their troops defend the girl scouts to the fucking death because we aren’t equal and taking away safe spaces for young girls won’t achieve that either
ATTENTION ALL GIRLS AND LADIES: if you walk from home, school, office or anywhere and you are alone and you come across a little boy crying holding a piece of paper with an address on it, DO NOT TAKE HIM THERE! take him straight to the police station for this is the new 'gang' way of rape. The incident is getting worse. Warn your families. Reblog this so this message can get accross to everyone.
1) Already decent-looking main girl is treated like she’s hideous, gets a makeover, and once she’s “beautiful” she ends up with her crush ala “She’s All That”. So I almost didn’t go see the movie.
Things that did happen:
1) It was hilarious; I plan to get it on DVD and watch it many more times 2) The main girl was a sass master of epic proportions and I loved her; I lost count of how many times she dumped a drink on a guy or punched someone in the face 3) The movie did not treat the main girl like she was actually fat or ugly, in fact when she is offended by the acronym her friend explains it’s just a turn of phrase and that “the duff” doesn’t necessarily have to be those things, they just have to be the least attractive of their friend group. Main girl’s friends were REALLY hot and she was just cute. Nobody ever treated her like she was a hideous troll. 4) There WAS an attempt at a makeover, but it was just a hilarious montage, it didn’t work out, and throughout the movie she hardly changed (if at all), and her love interest fell for her without her having to change 5) The moral of the whole thing is that we shouldn’t let other peoples’ negative comments about us get us down because there is ALWAYS going to be someone prettier or smarter or funnier or richer etc, therefore we are all somebody’s DUFF. Main girl spent part of the movie upset that she was considered the least attractive of her friend group and in the end she got over it because fuck that noise, she can’t always be the most attractive and as long as she’s confident with herself who gives a fuck
What WILL happen because Tumblr is a shithole:
“Omg the DUFF is so offensive she’s not even fat!!!!ONE!! Let’s boycott!”
Since you are black and proud, I will test you with this question: How does a woman carry a child in her stomach for 9 months, go through all the pain, hold it in her arms, and end up calling it Laquisha?
Laquisha is a French variant of the Swahili name “Lakiesha“ which means ”favorite”. In addition, the name is also a French variant from the original Latin ”Leticia” which means gay, delighted, or joyful and is the name of an old Roman Goddess, Laetitia. I’m not only black and proud, I’m also a former linguistics student, avid reader of mythology, and Tumblr. Your tests mean nothing to me. So to answer your question, how does she end up naming her daughter after a Goddess? Pretty pridefully I’d hope, our women are Goddesses.
Remember this: To win the Republican nomination, it will be necessary to pledge to repeal Obamacare, along with ALL of President Obama’s executive orders. If the Republican nominee wins the election, almost all of the important progress that has been made on trans rights at the federal level over the last 6 years will be swept away, along with the health insurance of millions of people. Whomever this Republican President nominates to the Federal judiciary will continue the efforts of the far right to curtail the rights of vulnerable populations and enrich the top 1% at the expense of everyone else.
This election will literally be life and death for a lot of people… For a lot of trans folks, too. You might not like the Democratic Party. You might not like Hillary Clinton… But you still have a moral obligation to vote democratic if you care about what happens to women, racial minorities, the LGBT population, and the middle class/working class/poor folks of this country.
We can’t afford anyone sitting this one out because they smugly assume there is no difference between the two major American parties. Register, and vote.
