if they keep shaking him he’ll crumble completely
It’s called the foot-in-the-door method. First, you propose something that is slightly outside of allowable norms: denying gay people wedding cakes on grounds of “religious freedom”. Then, you slowly ramp up how extreme your demands are, coercing the other side to giving a tiny bit of ground each time, until you’ve shifted the entire fucking playing field. Conservatives are also very fond of the door-to-face method, which is demanding something completely outlandish that you know will be refused, and then asking for something less ridiculous by way of compromise, again resulting in a gradual shift in norms until views that were once considered moderate or reasonable become unthinkably liberal by destroying people’s sense of standards. The combination of these methods is called the “foot-in-the-face” method, which sums up where this whole thing is headed quite nicely.

American missionaries
Just wondering: do Americans actually realize that the shittiest people in their country are actively spreading their ideas across the world? And I’m not just talking about the political interference or the mega-corporations. I’m talking lobbyists, articles, bloggers, think tanks, street missionaries.
Do y’all even realize there are Americans in the Netherlands who came here in groups specifically to do ‘mission work’ against abortion? And American-funded groups that vilify autism and tell people not to vaccinate their kids?
A lot of Dutch people don’t notice that they’re here either because these groups strategically underplay their American roots but they’re here and when a country that previously didn’t have an anti-vax movement suddenly needs to deal with that shit… yeah.. that happened.
And that’s just the Netherlands, far more money and energy goes into ‘missionary’ work in countries recovering from a history of colonization, countries recovering from wars and disasters, countries with a weakened education system. Republican Americans rush to those places to spread conservative Christianity with all the bigotry, anti-science and absolutely ridiculous politics that go with it.
Like, you should probably be aware of this shit, ‘cause it leaves a smell.
Unfortunately, fairly aware of it, but honestly have no power to DO anything about it. With the way Christianity is done in the US, missionary work is framed as an ultimate good a pushed very heavily on kids that have benn indoctrinated from birth and mostly don’t get how awful the BS is. And there’s lots of people that have a holier-than-thou mentality that keeps them from doing any self-reflection whatsoever, so you get even neoliberals trying to preach their ideas when nobody asked (particularly thinking of anti-vaxxers, pseudoscience “medicine” peddlers, capitalist BS).
Everyone: we want more LGBT+ characters in our stories !
Rick Riordan: okay here have a gay Italian sad boy
Everyone: I mean, it’s all right but-…
Rick Riordan: I understand. Want a bisexual main character, who happens to be a god?
Everyone: oh that’s actually nice…but! How about girls-
Rick Riordan: you’re totally right. Here have a pair of lesbian hunters
Everyone: …um this is actually pretty nice…how about-
Rick Riordan: a pansexual main character?
Everyone: yea-
Rick Riordan: with a gender fluid love interest? Say no more! Anything else?
Everyone:
I don’t know… why not an aro/ace character maybe ?
The Hunters of Artemis
This is why Rick Riordan is so important
He is like little baby
reblog for riordan. love this guy! also, when he got the Stonewall Award for the Magnus Chase series? his response:
“…it’s a call to do better in my own writing. As one of my genderqueer readers told me recently, “Hey, thanks for Alex. You didn’t do a terrible job!” I thought: Yes! Not doing a terrible job was my goal!”
love it.
I can not explain how much I love rick roairdane.
Rick Riordan is also using his money and fame to lift marginalized authors. He started a whole imprint called Rick Riordan Presents. The books published there have mythology and folklore from all over the world, and they’re written by authors who actually belong to those cultures. The first three books announced have stories based in Korean, Mayan, and Indian cultures, written by Yoon Ha Lee, Jennifer Cervantes, and Roshani Chokshi respectively.
Rick Riordan is pretty fucking cool. Ive never seen a YA put as much care and effort into growing as a writer, specifically with a focus on increasing diversity, as him.
The fact that he’s a UT alum from San Antonio who taught middle school English just warms my heart.
PLEASE click on the link to his Stonewall acceptance speech my god you won’t regret it
Attention JKR, this is how representation works
REBLOG ESPECIALLY MY DMV FOLLOWERS
I keep seeing shit about folks getting kidnapped and shit in the dmv
That’s wild
what the fuck?? how did you know this was a sex trafficking tactic?? I would have let her in my car jesus… how do you avoid this??
@loving-women-is-rad I can explain why this is obvious.
it’s the fact that she wanted to go into her isolated car instead of into the public building. going to her car gets her alone, where as going inside the well lit building with other people gets her around people who could protect both of them from the people she’s claiming are after her.
any actual victim will go straight for a well populated area. they may want you to come with them for help, but they would never try and get you away from a populated area and into an isolated car unless the car was the only option, because a dark car late at night is a fantastic way to isolate and capture a mark without anyone’s notice.
other tactics often used include:
1) pretending to be a heavily pregnant woman stuck out in bad weather she’s not dressed for and asking a good samaritan who asked her if she’s ok to buy her some coffee. if the woman refuses money and wants you to go with her specifically, becoming agitated when you don’t agree and only offer her cash, this is a trick. the person who found this out managed to follow a woman doing this and saw her arguing with another woman and two men. the men insisted she needed to be more convincing so people would be more sympathetic, and she watched her tell him to be the one out in the snow in the thin hoodie and fake belly, and she watched her take off a fake baby bump.
(someone taking the money can still be a scam, but it’s a scam for money, and not to traffic you. traffickers want to get you to leave a populated area, so refusing to go with them will upset them, and that’s the biggest reveal of their true intentions.)
2) a woman banging on your door screaming that a man is chasing her and begging you to let her in, saying he’s going to rape her if you don’t let her in. this was brought to everyone’s attention by a teenager who shared his story about it. his mother wanted to help her, but her husband had grown up in a ‘bad part of town’ and wasn’t so trusting. he unlocked the door but not the chain lock and handed her a brick, telling her his family was calling the police and he would stay with her at the door. if the person did show up she could use the brick to defend herself and he would come out with his..I think it was a baseball bat and help her fight him off. she became very angry, asking what was wrong with them and demanding they let her in. his only response was to close and lock the door again. she got quiet and when the police got there, she was gone but the brick was just sitting on one of their steps.
the next night the police were back, as the woman showed up again at someone else’s doorstep doing the exact same thing, only this time an officer was basically already there. that family had let her in, and she in turn let her partner in who proceeded to murder the entire family before being caught by the officer.
3) similarly, men have been known to use a recording of a baby crying playing at womens’ doorsteps in order to entice them into opening the door, this giveaway being that A) it’s recorded and that’s usually fairly obvious, but also that after a little while, the sound will move, typically under windows around the front of the house, something an actual baby clearly can’t do on its own, and is clearly someone attempting to get closer to the presumed sleeping women in the hopes of getting her attention, since she seemingly can’t hear it from the front door.
this was caught when a woman noticed this ‘baby’ moving and the cry looping and called the police. again an officer was nearby and found two men hiding in bushes around her house.
4)more of an example of something very common, a young woman shared a story of when she was little many years ago. she and a friend were going to some sort of event (she was into something. she was ether part of a sports team or dance team or something to that affect, something done by her school as she was around 6-7 at the time) her mother stopped off at a grocery store real quick and left her and her sleeping friend in the car. another little girl looking to be about 4 was in a car nearby with what this girl assumed was his father. he too got out of the car and left her there, going into the store. the girl was all smiles with him, even waving to our storyteller and smiling, until the man left. once he was inside suddenly she looked scared, and was acting like she wanted her to get out of the car and come to her. she tried waking her sleeping friend to tell her about this, thinking now the man wasn’t her father but someone who was a danger to her, but her friend gave her the dirtiest look, demanded she shut up and let her sleep, and rolled over. she looked back up at the 4 year old who was now looking at the store. she too looked over and saw the man just standing right at the window smiling and encouraging her. she smiled at him and then looked back to our storyteller, with her face instantly dropping back into that scared look on her face. she refused to get out of her car, and when the 4 year old looked back at the store, the man came back out, without having bought anything, gave the girl a smile and a pat and driving off, with the little girl waving at her as he drove away. after seeing this, she was convinced he was coaching her and using her to lure other children out to abduct them.
5)another example of something very common, a woman who was moving to another state and was by herself, as her fiance had gone ahead a month earlier to get things set up in the new place while she tied up the loose ends at the old one. on her way back to her car, she was stopped by a man in his truck, his passenger side between them, and asked her if she knew where a grocery store was. she said she didn’t know, as she was just stopping through on her way to a new place. he then said something along the lines that this was a nice place to stop on a trip with the family, and she admitted she was alone. it was then when he said it was nice to meet her and reached out his hand to shake hers, but did nothing to lean out, meaning she would have to reach in the car to reach him. it was here where she realized his questions confirmed that she was alone, far from home, and unfamiliar with the area, meaning if she vanished no one would know when she vanished or where on her long trip alone, and it would be a good while before anyone expected to see her, meaning by the time anyone realized she was gone she’d be long gone.
she refused to shake his hand, stating that she was going to go, and he sped off, far too fast for her to read the license plate.
the one thing all these stories have in common, the thing that’s kept people alive, was their refusal to give in to social expectations and protecting themselves as well as the person supposedly in need. by refusing to get into her car, the op story woman saved herself from being abducted and trafficked, as did my last story’s woman, by refusing to be polite and shaking the stranger’s hand.
Op’s woman still attempted to help her, so you absolutely can still help someone in need, but you have to do so safely and logically, without putting yourself at risk, which is exactly what these people need you to do. while it’s true a real potential victim could be screaming at your door for help or a real baby left on your doorstep that’s crying, you still have to be cautious because traffickers have no morals. there is no low they won’t stoop to if it means catching another person.
I know it can be hard to believe a woman would do something like this to other women, and not using such chances to get away themselves, but that’s what brainwashing, Stockholm syndrome, and abusive manipulation will do to someone’s mind. we all want to trust other women and believe in that solidarity against our mutual oppression, but it doesn’t always work out like that. girl code and solidarity is important, but we also have to watch our for ourselves, because not everyone cares about that code.
finally some good fucking news

That’s not what happened, this literally made international headlines. This is a purely adorable story.
Brianne Dow (the woman in the photo) hired a photographer Samantha Boos for a couples’ photoshoot shortly after learning she was expecting. This was in 2016, and she told her husband Brandon that it was an anniversary thing.
The photographer, Samantha Boos, told Brandon Dow, 26, to write three words on a chalkboard that described Brianne, and that Brianne would do the exact same thing, and then they would turn around and reveal.
Brandon wrote the first words he thought of when he thought of his wife. Brianne wrote the baby news, and that lead to the most adorable moment ever.
They got congratulations from everyone in their lives, even their local bank sent them a lovely note:
She gave birth to baby Monte, and the family is happy and together. They even went back to the same photographer for updated photos:
Please respect that the Family asked people to stop spreading the fake version. Photos used were taken from the Dow Family Facebook.
WTF IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE
For those who havent heard yet: Paris Hilton was pranked into thinking her plane was crashing and that she was going to fucking die. If you ask me ‘prank’ is the wrong fucking vocab here. This is a forced near death experience with potential emotional trauma following. Yet she has to laugh it off as a public person / selfmade brand/entrepreneur. This shit can scar you for life. I wouldve fucking lost it.
If you ever think about pulling of this kind of horribly disgusting bullshit, do us all a favor and reevaluate the choices you make in life. Grow the fuck up.
This is disgusting.
Good.
I hear the audio clip from it. She was so fucking terrified and when they told her it was a prank the first thing she asked was if the guy who had “jumped” was okay or not.
She deserves to sue.
Prank shows should be about making people fucking laugh at the prank
Good prank: when those people turned their roommate’s bedroom into a storage closet while he was away
Bad pranks: when Mariah Carey was convinced she knocked over a 200 foot Christmas tree and ruined hundreds of kids’ Christmas presents
Also this isn’t even a prank it’s just abuse. People need to learn the difference between pranks and abuse.
rule of thumb regarding pranks: Confuse, don’t abuse.
