Rise Up, Oh Heart, For There is Another Battle to Win
Month
if you were praised for being smart as a child and now feel crippling sensations of inadequacy when you don’t instantly know how to do something perfectly clap your hands
Why does getting your period have to be a secret??? Like why do they teach girls to “put extra pads in a secret pocket of your bag”… when literally all females have to go through it every month… Is this a big secret? Is the male population too sensitive to know that we menstruate? Why is it so shameful and what are they afraid of? I’ll keep my pads and tampons wherever I damn well please.
We all need to support trans rights as well.

I just saw a girl scream at a vending machine
So this is what college does to people

why the fuck would this be my reaction
You must not have a best friend
George Takei remembers Leonard Nimoy on CNN (via bandedshadows)
now that i’ve finally stopped crying about this, i just want to make an observation.
you know how successful white actors keep making jokes about hollywood’s diversity problem? like NPH at the oscars? yeah, that stuff is true & should be pointed out, but… it seems like (white) actors only snark about it, never anything more substantial. (meanwhile everyone else risks jobs, reputations, and even their whole careers if they put up a fuss.)
george & nichelle would have to risk their professional reputations if they’d complained about being left out, AND they were unlikely to succeed by it.
leonard nimoy spoke up because (1) it wasn’t right, and (2) he had more institutionalized power to leverage than either of them. it was a real risk for him too, but far less than for the other two; he clearly understood that, and he used it.
guys, THAT is solidarity.
cracking jokes about “Hollywhite” might be funny, but it doesn’t do shit. it’s the safest way to signal that you’re totally progressive & down for the cause without actually being for the cause. it has nothing to do with change.

If you were ever a girl that people whispered about and laughed at as you walked by…. That feeling never goes away. You’re suspicious of everyone around you having a good time, thinking it’s at your expense.
this is why I am always anxious in social settings

I care about the problems of men. I care that the patriarchy tells men that they have to be stoic beasts incapable of emotion. I care that the patriarchy tells men that they are lust-filled monsters incapable of controlling their own libidos. I care that the patriarchy tells men that they cannot be raped or assaulted because the patriarchy believes women are too weak and inferior to be dangerous.
Feminists did not do this to you, other men did.
i love going into the leverage tag every few days at least because you’ll see someone say oh hey i’m starting leverage and then watch them in like two days devolve into meta on how awesome parker is and how perfect pretzels are and how they all fall for the country boy they…
making up your own fictional universe
creating an entire history for it
creating characters who have complex back stories
RESEARCHING NAMES WITH MEANINGS THAT CORRESPOND TO THE HISTORY AND UNIVERSE AND BACK STORIES YOU’VE COME UP WITH
then never writing or doing anything with it at all ever
White people really tryna make it white out Friday why yall so pathetic
Seriously please don’t do this. The Black out is a serious movement trying to bring light to problems poc face and to promote self confidence and beauty in poc.
PLEASE do not mess with the black out or participate in this supposed ‘white out’.
In class today, my teacher mentioned John (Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s transgender son), referring to him as ‘their daughter who wishes to be called a boy.’ I responded by saying ‘So you mean their son.’ He said ‘I will only refer to her as her real gender, because it’s my choice.’ And so I’ve decided to always refer to this teacher as Mrs. instead of Mr. and if they don’t like being misgendered, oh well, because it’s my choice,
sending love to bi ladies in relationships with cis men. you’re not any less “queer”. you shouldn’t have to justify your identity at every turn.
Skip dinner, be thinner?
More like skip dinner and be cold, dizzy, and fucking miserable.Please eat something. You’re worth it.
Ravenclaws probably have, overall as a house, the worst grades in the school tbh.
i feel as though ravenclaws would have driven Hermione Granger up a wall they neVER DO THEIR HOMEWORK??? I though this was the smart house???? and…
We have a great saying in German when people are saying or doing something stupid:
“Herr, wirf Hirn vom Himmel!”
“Lord, throw some brains from the heavens."
fave follow-up: "oder Steine, Hauptsache er trifft.” - “or stones as long as he hits the mark”
Germans don’t fuck about.
“My boyfriend/girlfriend won’t let me”
Excuse me
What was that?
LET ?

How lovely congratulations on your 3rd parental guardian”
Guys, but what about politically active vampires.
“Bitch I’ve been fighting for this shit for 200 fucking years, you think you know more than me?”
“I’ve been with my wife for 173 years and we’re ruining marriage?”
"This was bullshit when I was born and it’s just as bullshit now.”
“ugh, christians. again.”
“I was there when Feudalism died and I’m going to live to see the end of capitalism”
Wearing eyeliner doesn’t make you “girly” or “gay” a lot of girls actually find it attractive. If you wanna put concealer on that pimple go ahead. It doesn’t make you less of a man. Makeup is not intrinsically feminine. Don’t let society’s screwed up gender roles stop you from expressing yourself.
Thank you!!

Me: Let’s see what’s on the radio.
DJ: “It’s a tragic day for all men today—Leonard Nimoy died. Most boys had a Star Trek phase growing up. You girls probably have trouble telling the difference between Star Wars and Star Trek, but trust me, it’s a big deal that he’s gone.”
Me: …
Me: Seriously? What year is this?
Leonard Nimoy is rolling in his fucking grave
Depression really out here killing mfs, ya’ll stay strong man. Stay here with me.
Probably will reblog this everyday.
do you think like 600 years ago book nerds got real mad when the printing press was invented because filthy casuals could get books without having to copy them out themselves
Actually yes they did
and there were certain ancient Greeks who were angry when writing was invented, because it meant that literature was more accessible to the filthy casual masses
true s***, people
People never change do they
we got taller
Men’s Issues
- Societal expectations of masculinity
- Societal expectations to provide for women
- No long term reversible male birth control
- Men who are raped are more likely to remain silent and be dismissed or outright laughed at
- Unfair treatment in child custody battles
- Alimony
- No support for male victims of domestic abuse
Not men’s issues
- The friend zone
- Women not dating you
- “Fucking femnazis”
Boooom
There are seven year olds in America who have never had a white president
What a beautiful thought
I just want to date someone that understands my marvel references.
friendly reminder that Severus not only took away Remus’s chance to represent himself and his kind, he also assigned an essay to Remus’s third years focusing on the ways to recognize and kill werewolves. The entire schoolyear he tried to get Remus fired and in the shrieking shack…
Instead of having a new spiderman movie let’s have a new spiderwoman movie with scarlett johansson and have it be called “black widow”.
In reference to:
During the Civil War, The Battle Hymn of the Republic was one of the most popularized war songs, and it remains so today. During WWII, paratroopers had a little bit of a different take on it. You don’t exactly read about the second one in history books.
