my cat civilization has been going for 27 years now. we have developed writing and have friendly trade relations with a caravan of lizards. i’m told you can achieve space travel at some point. it’s amazing.
I’m a multi-shipper and I can usually reason, rationalize, or justify behind most ships, but man, when I NOTP, I NOTP hard. I’m so salty and bitter about ships I despise (don’t worry don’t worry I don’t tag my hate or anything).
I think men overall just don’t understand that we cannot stop the blood. If there’s nothing to collect it, it’s going everywhere. Everyone can hold a shit, can hold a piss, and can hold back sex, until it’s convenient. When we bleed there is just no stopping it. It doesn’t matter if there’s nothing to catch the blood, it will keep coming.
That’s why this free-tampon discussion is over your heads. You don’t get it. You can compare it to toilet paper or condoms all you want but we all have control over those things. When we bleed, we keep bleeding until it’s done. There’s no clenching or muscle training that will keep us from bleeding everywhere.
So stop talking about what you don’t understand. If condoms can be free, so can tampons.
Also, toilet paper is free in public restrooms. Everyone would lose their shit if they had to buy toilet paper at work.
Dear non-bleeders, this is why bleeders freak the fuck out if they come across a bathroom with free tampons or pads.
“Saying “you don’t have anything to be depressed about, your life is great” is like saying “what do you mean you have asthma? there is loads of air in here.””—something my 13 year old nephew said to my mum after she claimed I had no reason to be suffering from depression, I repeat, he is THIRTEEN. (via rdjobsessions)
we Americans act really cocky and assholey about freedom to hide the fact that our government is crumbling and nobody is actually free so please give us this one day to be annoying about it
Kinda feel bad for poor Americans now. A bit like the asshole kid who you realise is only acting like that cuz their parents are cruel and neglectful.
Her story goes mostly how the Disney version went, except she didn’t go to war as a quest for self-discovery or because she felt as though she couldn’t make her parents proud. The sole and only reason she disguised herself as a young man was to take her Father’s place in the war.
So when she told her parents that she wanted to this, they were like wtf no you’re a girl and it’s chaotic out there. And you know what she did? She put on male clothes and challenged her own Father to a duel. Her dad was like ‘who the hell are you’ but accepted. When Mulan won and revealed herself as his daughter, he was like wOAH okay you can go. Basically she made sure to get her parent’s consent before going, so not only are her parents awesome, she was decent enough to not leave them hanging for 12 years.
Yes, she was at war for 12 years, but she not in fact meet a handsome general. Instead she BECAMEa general. Eventually the war was won, and the Emperor was so impressed by her he wanted to wed the Princess to her. It was only then that she revealed she was in fact a woman. Then she accepted the rewards and went right back home to her normal life.
There is now even a crater on Venus named after her.
This is a way better story than the Disney version.
it’s so dumb that piercings and tattoos can impact your ability to find a job. employers shouldn’t be allowed to discriminate based on gender, race, sexual orientation, or level of punk-rockness
If you were about to have a surgery done, would you feel comfortable if she/he had gages and tattoos all over their face?
I mean presumably they went to medical school I literally would not give a single shit what they decided to put on their face
what if your phobias are based off how you died in a past life
Why is this not getting around faster
DUDE
then i died in some really strange ways
This meshes with another belief in a scary way for me. You know that myth that says lovers who committed suicide together are reincarnated as twins? My twin sister and I are both terrified of heights, specifically precipices.
Please do not fancast non-Chinese people for the live-action Mulan movie. Please do not fancast non-Chinese Asian people for the live-action Mulan movie. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE A CHINESE STORY ABOUT CHINESE PEOPLE IN CHINA AND PUT NON-CHINESE…
My little sister is 11 and she likes to come into my room a lot and hang out with me, but sometimes when she comes in I’m in an introverted or depressed mood and don’t want to talk to anyone. Tonight she came in and said that my room was too quiet, so I told her to go listen to music or something because I didn’t really feel like talking. She sat there quietly for a couple of seconds and then she said, “I’m gonna tell you what happened in gym class today because it was really annoying, but you don’t have to talk back.” And she just started talking about her day to me and I don’t think enough people understand how helpful that is to someone who’s depressed. To be there with them and talk to them without expecting them to engage in conversation. It’s a way to be alone without feeling completely lonely and I think everyone who deals with depression or any other mental illness needs someone like my sister to understand that, and to interact with the people they care about based on their state of mind.
I am all about stories where the hero and villain know each other very well and were once friends, but I could deal with it being used another way.
What if instead of being used for drama, for wistfulness and pleas to join the other side, it was more like the hero looking over a battlefield going Seriously, who does she think she’s kidding, she’s been using the same chess strategy since we were seven or the villain picking a headquarters in a specific climate because she knows the hero hates hot weather or deciding Send in some forces to round up all the copies of his favorite poet’s work, that’ll tick him off.
Or most of all them still having inside jokes with each other.
Okay no. How dare you. This is fucking offensive as fuck. Why are people reblogging this piece of shit joke it’s disgusting and you should all be ashamed. Subway never, I mean NEVER, lies about inches. We come in an hour early just to measure the bread before we bake it so you unsatisfied peons have no reason to complain. We even have a measuring unit on the FUCKING CUTTING BOARD so you can all see your fucking twelve inches and you don’t have to bitch and moan. But of course you insatiable little toddlers are always gonna do that aren’t you? No. This is bullshit. This is BULLSHIT. We do not work hours for minimum wage to get reduced to jokes that tarnish the good name of Subway by comparing this healthy alternative to corn syrup infested burgers by comparing us to horny teenage boys. I fucking hate this website fuck you all I’m fucking done
I am beside myself 😂😂
I thought this person was about to go in on them for dick joke but no 😂😂👏👏
I LOVE THIS PERSON, ALSO I MASSIVELY SUPPORT YOU GOING SO HARD ON BEHALF OF SUBWAY.
my favourite thing about this generation is that I can persuade someone to watch a show and tell them there’s only two seasons with like thirteen episodes each
Girls, if something about a guy scares you or makes you uncomfortable, get away from him as fast as possible. Listen to your instincts. Don’t make excuses. Just run.
Guys, if a girl looks uncomfortable or scared by the way you’re talking to her or treating her, leave her the fuck alone. Don’t wait for her to run. Just stop.
It is so frustrating to be a Canadian. You are affected by USA politics nearly as much as as they are but have no say in the elections. It’s like being a Siamese twin to an angry self destructive alcoholic with a gun fetish.
Don’t worry Canada, the U.S. citizens don’t really have a say in U.S. politics either. It’s kind of like being the liver of an angry self-destructive alcoholic with a gun fetish and control issues.
Fic idea where a lonely person sells their soul to Satan to be their friend. And Satan just rolls with it until he realizes at the time of their death he genuinely likes them.
Since he can’t renege on the contract he takes them to Hell and puts them in a high position of power. Demons hardened by millenia of torture now have to answer to a shy, self-conscious, quiet, depressed, lonely person who has unintentionally become Satan’s #1
When I went into the store today after work, I had decided I was going to be brave. I had a pretty good day, and I wanted to reward myself with something I’d been eyeing for quite some time. Mens underwear.
I won’t lie, I stalled quite a bit before I slunk over to the mens underwear section, but eventually I wound up in the aisle looking over my various options. It was while I was trying to figure out what size I would be, that the man is all his socks and sandals glory came into the aisle. I barely had time to look up before he bellowed at me, “you fucking abomination”
I gaped like a fish while I tried to wrap my mind around the fact that yes, this was happening, and yes, he just yelled that at me. He said it again, and began to make his way towards me, very tall and very angry looking. All the clever things I wanted to say died in my throat and tears started pooling in my eyes.
Just as he was getting right up in my face, telling me about how there wasn’t a single god from any religion that would accept a piece of shit like me, you appeared at the end of the aisle. You ran towards us and put yourself between me and him like you weren’t a tiny 5 ft nothing. Then you stuck your finger in his face and told him to “shut the hole in his head that was spewing ignorance and hatred and get out because he wasn’t welcome here”. It was his turn to be the fish then, and before he could say another thing you shouted “GET THE FUCK AWAY” drawing the attention of shoppers who had been so conveniently hard of hearing before. He tucked tail and left.
You turned to me then, put the underwear I had dropped back in my hand and asked if I was okay. I was sobbing and could feel my face doing the ugly thing it does when I cry. I nodded, you asked me if there was anything else I wanted to look at in the mens section, I shook my head. You asked if I had anymore shopping to do. I huffed out that I wanted some bananas. You took my hand and lead me towards produce. You told me I was beautiful. You told me I would look so handsome in the underwear I picked. You helped me pick out bananas and told me my future was so bright and wonderful it was practically blinding.
You held my hand all the way to the cashier, and then outside. You asked me if I wanted a ride, I told you I’d like to walk, that I needed some time to cry. You stared at me very seriously, then hugged me so hard I could feel all me pieces coming back together. You said “I don’t even know who you are and I don’t care, I love you”
I cried all the way back home.
Thank you. Thank you for everything. For who you are, and for what you did. Plenty of other people passed by and did nothing, but you came in like a shining beacon and all I can say is thank you. You saved me when I was all alone. Thank you.
I wish we could track down this wonderful person!
Whoever you are, you ‘5 ft nothing’ hero, thank you for being an amazing, kind human being. I kinda teared up at this, ngl, and I want to hug you, too - as well as the teller of this tale, because OMFG!
i KEEP seeing cis women reblog trans women/trans feminine people with comments like, ‘she looks better than me !’
stop. stop stop stop stop stop. why wouldn’t she? and what are you REALLY saying when you say that? because it sure SOUNDS like, ‘she, a fake woman, looks better than me, a real woman.’
um we’re really saying that “she looks better than me”.
I said that because how in the fuck do you get so good at contouring without selling your soul? When I try, I end up looking like an ugly ass circus clown…
You got to appreciate the effort of the contour. Real, fake, male, female, don’t matter when your make up is on point and slayin hoes left and right.
You nerds realize that we are talking about trans women and trans feminine people and not drag race, right?
Yes, we are aware. While we are appreciating their flawlessness, SOME people are STILL stuck on making assumptions to make an fight. News flash: Tumblr needs to stop searching for shit that’s not there.
If I comment on a post about, say, Laverne Cox and her fabulousness saying she looks better than I do on my best day, it’s because she’s fucking gorgeous and I am a tiny worshipful potato. Calm down.
*muffled crashes heard throughout the avengers tower, quickly getting louder, concluding with the appearance of a shadowy, glowering figure in the doorway*
Once some guy mentioned that when i laugh my mouth looks really weird and now whenever i laugh around people i don’t know 100% i cover my lower face with my hands.
A girl who didn’t like one of my friends told her that her eyes squint different sizes when she smiles, and now whenever she’s happy she look’s down or away.
You’ve gotta be careful with what you say to people, because it might turn their happiness into insecurities.
I hate how people have this way of making you feel small
Like once these two girls made fun of how i said a certain word or something and my voice is now one of the things i hate most about myself. i’m self-conscious of it like 24/7 and am terrified of speaking in public (for that and other reasons)
You never know what comments you make that will still be running through someone’s head years later
Someone said my voice sounded like Mickey Mouse like five years ago (I think they meant it to be funny) and I still think of it all the time.
Someone told me that short girls could only be cute, not beautiful, and if I had a nickle for every time I repeated it I’d be fucking rich.
A bunch of people told me that the way I spoke (I used to sound like an academic when I was like ten or thirteen, because of a lot of reasons including the fact that I’m socially a bit incapable) made me sound arrogant and condescending and bitchy. I literally altered my entire speech pattern to sound more colloquial.
Before the Gregorian calendar was established, the first day of the new year was April 1st, because of spring. When the new calendar was put into place, people who continued the old calendar were mocked because they still celebrated the new year on April 1st.
I think that if they make abortion illegal, they should make men deserting women who they got pregnant illegal as well. Because if a woman can’t back out of a pregnancy a man shouldn’t be able to either.
My feminism will ALWAYS include trans women, sex workers, women of color, disabled women, fat women, intersex women, poor women, neuroatypical women, and all the other women who are often neglected
But what about vampire history teachers. Vampires who read something from a text book then proceed to light the book on fire and throw it out the window because “No. that’s not even close to what really happened. Listen up nerds I’m about to teach you what really happened in France during the revolution”
