ppl who dont understand the dynamic of ethnic oppression in europe obviously havent gotten to that unit in 7th grade history how close minded and uneducated can u be to not understand that all racism is oppression but not all oppression is racism how can u turn a blind eye to the fact that yes a great vast majority of holocaust victims were white but would u not classify the deadliest genocide in history as oppression??? when franco was trying to wipe out non-castilian ethnic groups in spain like the catalans and the basques and the galicians was that not oppression???? what about the balkan conflicts in the 90s??? yes somewhere within their histories these oppressed groups have benefited from white/european privilege but that doesn’t mean that they haven’t been oppressed and targeted and killed off because the american formula for discrimination is not something that can be applied to the rest of the world’s history esp countries that have been somewhat racially homogenous until the modern globalized era

“Charlize is a real warrior,” director George Miller declares. “She was the one who said, ‘I’m going to shave my head’ and she took on the 10-pound (4.5-kilogram) mechanical arm for the whole shoot and rolled around in the dust in fight scenes so it all felt real. I remember driving back to base camp one night as the sun was going down and I was in the back of the War Rig watching her drive and thinking, ‘If there was an apocalypse, I’d be glad she’s here!’”

When someone starts supporting all different types of sexual orientations and genders
when they start trashing straight cis white people
BLESS THIS POST AND BLESS YOU
Nah this post sucks…straight cis white people have so much privilege it’s really not that hard to get over being made fun of on a fucking website

“I love that character,” I say as I come up with upsetting headcanons for them. “Absolutely adore them,” I tell you as I bunny up sad story ideas for them. “They’re my favorite,” I sigh as I pick the most depressing songs for a playlist for them.
“I just want them to be happy,” I insist as I write horribly angsty oneshots centered around their misery.

seduce me with ur history knowledge
vikings made their woman handle the finances because they thought math is witchcraft
During a military campaign, Vlad the Impaler, the basis for Dracula, once pulled his troops out of a major engagement in a valley at dusk so that the sun was in their enemies’ eyes. Once they were over the hill, they set loose a bunch of rabid bats who flew away from the sun (towards the enemy) and attacked them, leading to significant infection in their ranks, and Vlad’s eventual victory. Because of how the bats appeared from where Vlad’s soldiers appeared to be at dusk, myth stated that the soldiers turned into bats at night, which is where the “Dracula can change into a bat” thing came from.
the roman emperor Gaius made his favorite horse a senator.
“Things I must you tell a lot of, believe it you hardly can, but hear tomorrow it already will you, be well in the meantime. Oh my ass burns like fire! what on earth is the meaning of this!—maybe muck wants to come out?” -Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, in a letter to his cousin Marianne
The Romans would add lead to their wine because they thought it tasted better, historians believe that this caused a rise in the amount of mentally disabled babies, possibly including Gaius and some other emperors
why y’all saying “Gaius” like it means shit though
it’d be like “president John” or “James” or “George”

Tips for living alone
Buy a bat (I have my old color guard rifle) or similar. Keep it in your room/near your bed.
Get a lock for your bedroom door.
If you’re moving into a new place, change the locks. Who knows who had a key to your place before you.
Keep your phone/a phone in your room.
Get a weather alert system set up. App, weather call, little weather radio that tells you about major weather events.
Adopt a pet
Wave at your neighbors. Take note of the ones that make you uneasy. Watch out for kids always.
Be nice to your mail person. No matter what.
If you choose to drink/etc alone, unplug your wifi router. You’ll thank me.
Have extra seating. People sit when they visit. Your one comfy chair is great for you. Not so great for you + grandma + ur five cousins, your aunt, and a couple others.
Learn the self-Heimlich
When you take a shower, bring your phone to the bathroom in case you fall your phone is no longer halfway across the house, it’s just on your counter
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Idk what else
If you live in an one-room apartment, put a screen around your bed. It’ll feel less like you visit people, esp. strangers, into your bedroom. Also you’ll feel much safer sleeping in the enclosure.
Cook enough for a few meals each time you cook, and freeze the extra food. That way you’ll prevent things from expiring and it’s great when you don’t feel like cooking or have no time or energy for it.Give a key to someone near you trust, or hid it somewhere few people will look, like up in a tree. Shutting yourself out isn’t nice, esp. not at night.
Put something translucent like curtains or stickers for windows where people can walk past or look in. You’ll feel less watched that way.Put some contant money somewhere in your room. Good to have in case your bag gets lost or stolen.
Feeling lonely? Remember, online contacts are not less valuable.
I would say maybe set reminders for everything too. Taking meds/vitamins, working out, going to sleep, waking up.
Buy a small fan for white noise at night if you’re the kind (like me) that gets anxious at all the little ambient noises that ANY building can supply in the dark.
Don’t watch scary movies in the dark by yourself, with no visitors.
NETFLIX, if you can afford it. It’s also useful because you can watch movies / shows with your online buddies at the same time, miles and states and (sometimes even) countries apart.get an app like safetrek. never walk into allies or empty streets if there is a more populated/well-lit route to your destination. keep emergency contacts in your wallet and a red cross card with your blood type on it in case anything happens. carry a list of medications you’re allergic to, if any.
walking around with a headset or headphones discourages people from yelling at you on the street, and it’s easier to escape from hasslers. however, it’s pretty advisable to not have anything actually playing so you can be aware of your surroundings. if anything, have it at low volume.
if you get grabbed on the street (this used to happen to me a lot), immediately scream, and the person will usually get startled, giving you time to get away.
if you feel like you’re in a really bad place, call someone, or even pretend like you’re calling someone. say where you are. act like you’re planning on meeting up with them. be loud about it. make it seem like someone will notice if you go missing, even for a little bit.
also u should look up manufacturer’s coupons like damn i feel like a successful suburban mom every time i walk into cvs and save 2 dollars on my toothbrushes
Have a backup of three days’ worth of meds if you can. Hide it so nobody steals it and you aren’t tempted to use it instead of refilling. Replace these fairly often.
Have a decent first aid kit – you can buy one or put one together from other purchased parts. Know how to use it. There’s great resources for how to build and use one online.
Keep a supply of hygiene/illness supplies on hand; pads, tampons, yes, but also heating pad/water bottle/rice bag. Thermometer, a variety of painkillers, cold medicine.
A couple big trash bags, some quick and easy cleaning supplies, a box of corn starch (to solidify liquid messes), latex/vinyl/nitrile gloves, plastic shopping bags, some extra cleaning cloths and washrags in a bucket under the sink in the bathroom. You WANT to plan ahead for horrifying messes, TRUST me, my darling babies. If you’re going to be going off at both ends during a nasty bout of the Martian Death Flu, you want to spread one of those bags out on the floor to contain misses and spills, keep the bucket with a shopping bag in it handy, and STAY BRAVE. This from experience. This REALLY helped ease my mind when I was the sickest I had ever been.
Extra hidden toilet paper, baby wipes to clean up tender areas, basically anything you might need in an emergency where you are really sick and can’t leave the house.
Make sure there is a list of emergency contacts posted visibly in your house, numbers along with names and relations. Put the numbers for a people and a pet poison control center on there, too, you might need them. Maybe even make sure your address is written there. In a panic, I have forgotten my own address. This is eminently possible if you move a lot.
Have a notebook hidden somewhere with all the important adult stuff you need to know in it. Go nuts with it. Not your bank account number, but your bank’s number to call if your card is stolen. Your car’s information. Utility company billing numbers. Just … anything you might need quick reference for or might need in an emergency if your house is thoroughly robbed. Hide this book where you can find it and could direct someone to it, but it isn’t in plain sight.
Have a notebook with all your friends’ and relatives addresses and phone numbers, and if possible, their hours of operation, in case you need to reach people fast, or in case you need someone to talk to NOW. Call those numbers when you have to. Please.
And, last, something I really don’t want to have to tell you to do, but I’m gonna do it anyway because it makes things easier in an emergency.
Please have handy the phone number of an emergency 24-hour vet. Have it on your fridge so you can remain calmheaded and not flail around in what’s already gonna be a hard time for both of you. CALL AHEAD and tell them what to expect so they can be ready for you. Stay calm as you can, your pet needs you. You can freak out later. Be strong.
And please think in advance what you plan to do with your friend’s mortal remains so when the time comes you aren’t caught not knowing what to do.
Talk to your family about whether you want your organs donated after you die, and what they want done with their organs.
