Uneventful

They say that the way you should view disagreements in relationships is “us vs the problem” and not “me vs them” and I think that to a certain extent that mindset can also be helpful when engaging in political or ideological movements

"Anything is fine as long as it's legal" is not the sex positive position you think it is. Anything can be criminalised. Anything can be decriminalised.

In some places it's illegal to consensually choke your boyfriend. In other places marital rape is not a crime. Develop a moral compass instead of expecting your government to tell you what is right and wrong.

ive worn heart shaped glasses for almost 4 years and they are just like my Thing and i love them so much and so often people will say shit like Oh Id Love To Wear Something Like That But I Could Never Pull It Off and like... babe no one can theyre heart shaped glasses u dont wear them to look flattering or stylish or whatever u wear them to make ur soul happy

stop worrying about whether u look Nice and start worrying about whether u look like You

i didnt articulate it well so i just wanna clarify. the point of this post was not "fuck the haters wear what you want" it was "fuck the idea that clothes and accessories exist to make you look good they should exist to make you happy"

can we send up a quick thank you to pdf uploaders, torrent seeders, copy sharers, scanlators, fansubbers, digitizers, paywall dodgers, and various other internet archivers for making niche art and information more accessible in a media landscape where all but the most profitable mainstream are often tossed aside and left to rot

I really think we should stop saying "kid-friendly" and start saying "ad-friendly". We shouldn't indulge these companies and their excuses anymore. I also think that continuing to pretend that this is about "protecting the children" pushes a lot of the blame onto kids and teens, who don't have the political power to push through any of this censorship legislature. Corporations and governments are to blame.

i can't be the only one who's just straight-up ... bored with women hating themselves. my mom keeps lamenting to me how upset she is about her gray hair. my friend stares at her laugh lines every day in agony. my sister loses sleep over the horrible unbearable thought of looking fat. and every time these women i love open up to me, i can't help but think ... then stop staring at yourself? stop drowning yourself, narcissus, and just fucking live your life instead of sitting in front of a mirror obeying cosmetic corporations' lies. just stop it. this is getting ridiculous. you're too smart to be falling for this bullshit. "oh no but these men who hate women told me that if i'm ugly i'm worthless!" girl if you actually believe that then good luck. but i am getting worse at being supportive of people whose nonsense worldviews keep them trapped in pain. stop looking at yourself start fucking living i am pleading you deserve to be happy and it is stupid that you disagree

Someone in the comments said "you really said just stop being insecure" and yes :) make an effort to stop spiralling about your looks, challenge insecure thoughts and stop doing things that lead to you feeling insecure.

Actually, let's go ahead and say this part louder. Because the DAPL is HORRIFIC, and indigenous people put their bodies on the line to fight it at every step. This is one of the first things that comes to mind when I hear phrases like "what you let your government do to others (Palestine) they will eventually do to you*" that drive me up a fucking WALL because that sentiment, though meant to be a rallying cry against political paralysis, is so obnoxiously ignorant of the history and ongoing MO of America. DAPL, Flint, MI's lack of clean water, Hurricane Katrina, martial law in DC, ICE raids in LA to justify NG deployment against civilians, BLM. I mean fuck it, go look up Seneca Village and the creation of Central Park. Look up how freeways in large cities like LA derived their paths. America currently and has ALWAYS gleefully threatened, endangered, exploited, and violated the lives and lands of BIPOC (and heavy on the indigenous while we're talking about DAPL rn) people whenever convenient, profitable, and destabilizing to those communities. Anyway, all of that to say: - the fascism around us isn't new. - Fuck DAPL. - listen to vulnerable populations when they tell you the fear you're feeling now has been a regular part of their lives for GENERATIONS and transmute that realization into momentum to join the fight because it's not new - it's been waiting for you and now you're here! - vote for Vic * = this "you" is so 'affluent white liberal' coded I want to scream

update : hey yall because of your help i finally moved. Now comes the part for my daily life. so pls keep coming back to this and checking the goal and if you got the funds to distribute even a dollar goes a long way. i just need this help for the few months till im settled permanently. i will be doing a lot these months to do so. thanks so much again for all your shares and donations. 🌻

update: paid off my moving company today and that took majority of my funds. Please continue to share amongst people you know can distribute funds. Sharing doesn’t always mean donations so please expand the sharing around socials if you can. Thanks so much again for all your help, words and donations. I see the tags and i appreciate all of them 🌻

update: hey yall im trying to secure housing and the first deposits, tenant insurance and so forth is going to cost me arm and a leg. Please consider donating. I’ve got a ton of shares but it doesn’t always means donations. I’m so grateful for everyone and thank you but pls consider a dollar if you got it to donate and share. Meanwhile i’m actively job hunting and applying. Hoping to hear something by august when they most likely start calling or emailing applicants. thank you again. i appreciate yall. 🌻

update: i know this is a newer update so soon, but i’ve found something very ideal. Rent is doable and it is Covid safe housing and a good situation. It’s almost unbelievable but i am praying my ma is looking out for me. The first of the month is required which is a regular deposit as how it usually goes and i have got it (thanks to new donations today bless yall) But I need another 900 for the last of the month. If yall can help me raise 900 to secure this it would be incredible. The rest will be for any bills and groceries. I’ve been asking a lot, but as always know when i have my feet secured i will always return this help forward. Thank you. 🌻

update: grateful to say i secured housing and i managed to speak with the person to agree for just first months rent. Now i just need to make the rest of my goal. we’ve got 82% done so thank you so much. So please consider donating what you are capable of sharing. The rest will be for groceries, bills and anything else for the process of moving. Thank you again 🌻
