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.
my boyfriend’s first language isn’t english and he asked me how to say cut in past tense and i said “cut” and he let out a wail of anguish and fell to the ground

Honestly using Hades as the villain for every greek mythology story because he happens to rule over the afterlife would be like if 3000 years from now they made a bunch of Justice League movies where Batman was the villain because he has the darkest costume

“airbenders are able to warm themselves with only their breathing”
ok so this explains why katara and sokka were bundled up in parkas galore while aang was just walking around in his little jump suit like it was a perfect summer evening. I’m so glad this was cleared up. I literally thought Aang’s optimistic attitude is what kept him warm, heavens.
So you remember the firebender prison? And how Zuko kept his bending at full strength when he was put in the freezer box, which disabled anybody else put in there? That’s because Iroh taught him that airbender trick, just like later he taught him waterbending moves to deal with lightning. Iroh was secretly master of all four elements and passed it on to Zuko without him noticing.
I fucking love how tumblr has been using high flicker rate gifs on the login screen. Have you not heard of epilepsy?
not to mention that once in a while i go to a blog, and either the url is changed, they deleted, or i just typed it wrong, and it’s literally always a p high flicker rate gif:/
For anyone with sensitive eyes or epilepsy, if you’ve downloaded AdBlock, you can get rid of these GIFs.
Go to ‘options’, it should open up in another window. You can then go to ‘customise’ tab, and select ‘manually edit your filters’.
If you then paste tumblr.com###fullscreen_post_bg, the GIFs should no longer show up (in the very least, they shouldn’t show up when you go to an unclaimed URL).
Reblogging for any followers who have issues with this.
When they make a black widow movie, the trailer needs to be all mysterious and the song playing needs to be Scarlett Johansson singing a lullaby cover of the itsy bitsy spider
A trailer set to Tili Tili Bom, sung by Scarlett Johansson, and it opens with a little girl with red hair standing in front of a burning house (how Natasha’s parents died) with her hand in an older man’s. The trailer is shots from the Red Room–not quite normal; for example, the little girl comfortably asleep in a bed and handcuffed to the frame, the little girl on a jungle gym and doing impossible moves, the little girl with other girls all dressed alike and emotionless, the little girl walking down a hallway past a man with a metal arm and blank blue eyes–interspersed with shots of the little girl in ballet school (Natasha’s fake memories). As the trailer progresses, the shots of the ballet school become dimmer and the Red Room becomes brighter, until the last scene of the little girl doing ballet (performing a brise, meaning ‘broken’) fades completely to black and it cuts to her standing in a brightly lit training room, looking down at something and holding a bloody knife. The camera pans down to show the hand of another little girl–the last contestant for the Black Widow, save Natalia Romanova standing over her.
