I lose followers every time I say “trans women are women”
so I’m gonna keep saying it until I weed out all ya
immediately lost two followers
This thing. I agree with this thing. trans women are women.
They most certainly are women. If any of my followers disagree, feel free to make your exit.
Exit to the left, no goodie bag for you.

This writing advice was so helpful that it deserved its own picture heading.
A huge part of writing is cause and effect, but when worrying about conflict, resolution, characters, the plot as a whole, and more, we tend to forget about this and our stories end up being described as “this happens and then this happens and then this happens…”
So a piece of writing advice from Matt Stone and Trey Parker addressing this completely changed the way I plot and I ended up flying through my outlines with full plots in a very short amount of time. Here’s the advice:
When you are outlining/summarizing your story, you should be able to put “because of this” or “therefore” between each scene/event.
This keeps the story going. It connects everything together to make it one narrative instead of a series of slightly connected short stories. Once you start describing your story as “this happens and then this happens”, then you’ve got a problem. Everything should transition easily in a connected narrative.
This might seem like an obvious thing, but I know a lot of writers, including myself, who tend to forget about it.
reblobbing because this is something I routinely fail to do.
Simple, smart advice.

This magical new underwear could replace tampons and pads
Menstruation is a natural part of life, but it has long been and continues to be stigmatized. Three women have come up with a way to change all that. Twin sisters Radha and Miki Agrawal and friend Antonia Dunbar innovated THINX underwear, which completely eliminates the need for tampons or pads and could also help in need in the developing world.
Click the link and watch the video at the bottom!
I was seriously very moved by what they’re doing for people who have periods in developing countries. Nobody should have to miss out on education or feel ashamed because they have periods. I will definitely be supporting Thinx :3

some additional clarification:
gaslighting is not disagreeing with your interpretation of what happened, subjectively. It’s disagreeing with the literal, objective, even physical facts of what happened, and telling you you’re remembering them wrong.
this can be done on a societal scale, but it’s a lot less like “millennials are lazy and entitled” and a lot more like “the united states has never practiced military interventions in latin america”
like, for instance, my mother used to cuss me out when she was angry and call me a bitch, and tell me I was ruining her life, etc.
she would sometimes tell me that I was whining and making a big deal out of nothing after this happened. this was a cruel, abusive thing to tell a twelve year old. it wasn’t gaslighting, though.
she also used to rely on the fact that I have memory problems and later tell me that those events literally never happened, and I was making them up completely or had “dreamed them.” this is gaslighting.
someone who wasn’t there for the events, doesn’t know what happened, and isn’t on an orchestrated campaign to make you trust their memories in place of your own isn’t gaslighting you. that doesn’t mean they’re behaving well or aren’t abusing you, but gaslighting is a specific abuse tactic, not just anything someone does that’s out of line.

Like… the intention is good, but I don’t know how I feel about the angle of “you shouldn’t bully someone because you may not know the whole story”. You shouldn’t bully because it’s fucked up.
That girl you called fat, maybe she’s NOT starving herself. Maybe she just likes to eat. You want to call her names because of that? Fuck you.
That girl you called a slut, maybe she’s not a virgin, maybe she’s had a lot of sex with different people, sex is fucking AWESOME! Your hang ups with women and sexuality is not her problem. You’re an asshole.
That boy you pushed down in the hall… maybe everything’s great at home for him, so the fuck what? Don’t put your hands on people you piece of shit.
That black girl you teased for her skin color… just, fuck you, period. Doesn’t matter what the fuck is going on in her life, you’re fucking garbage. Get the fuck out of here.
The old man with the scars… seriously? Like… if you’re making fun of an old man’s scars you’re too far gone, you’re some kind of amoral sociopath or something cause that’s just some fucked up shit.
That “gay boy” you made fun of? Go fuck yourself.
The man you made fun of for crying? He just watched the episode of the Office where Jim and Pam get married, so what? Who cares why he’s crying? People have emotions dipshit.
That poor boy? Oh you’re one of those assholes who makes fun of poor people? Go die in a fire.
How about just don’t bully people at all for any reason cause it’s a fucked up thing to do regardless of what you do or don’t know about them? Treat people the way you want to be treated, it’s that simple. We’re all human beings just trying to be happy, you make the world a worse place when you try to stand in the way of that.

In California, residential use only accounts for 4% of total water use. Industrial use is 80%. Source: http://www.alternet.org/environment/california-fast-running-out-water-blame-it-big-agcalifornia anti-drought measures are always like “take shorter showers! consider brushing your teeth with the sink turned off” and never mention the fact that nestle is bottling all of our fucking water and selling it to people who live in areas with plenty of water
It’s like the Irish potato “famine” I stg
This is true of any resource. Yes turning your lights off will save you a but of money. But industry wastes far more electricity than you. Yes recycling your garbage is good. But companies, like the retail chain i work at produce far more garbage than you ever could and do not recycle it at all.
Turning natural resource and environmental crises into individual responsibility is form of class warfare so fucking insidious
Honestly just burn every company to the ground or cut them off from electricity and water systems
Tax them heavily for their usage
Make recycling mandatory or theyre fined
Oh im sorry am i stepping all over your precious free market
I hope to choke it outWord

please say a prayer for South Korea as 700 schools have been closed and the 3rd death has been reported. So far 1600 people have been quarantined. Personally, my youngest daughter has fallen ill with flu like symptoms and I am worried because I have been told they are running out of the materials to test for mers. So please keep us in your prayers and everyone else in South Korea.
For those of you who aren’t aware, there’s been an outbreak of MERS (Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus) in South Korea. They’re quarantining people to keep the virus from spreading, because currently it has no vaccine, no cure, and a high fatality rate. Please send South Korea your prayers and good vibes.
