19. Midwest. Ravenclaw. I like Harry Potter, Doctor Who and its spin-offs, Supernatural, Sherlock, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Glee, The Hunger Games, Teen Wolf, and Once Upon a Time.

I reblog this every time it comes up on my dashboard, not because it is a “rule” but because every time I see it the love and sincerity on her face hit me all over again and I think everyone deserves to see that.

And THIS is why I adore Catherine Tate. She’s loud and brash but in quieter moments… her soul comes shining through and it makes everything about her so much more beautiful.

The right to free speech (if you live in a country that allows you that) means the government won’t put you in jail for what you’re saying. It doesn’t protect you from other people telling you to shut the fuck up.

this is what heterophobia would look like if it was real. if you believe that heterophobia is a real thing that exists, please watch this because you will see that it simply doesn’t exist, that it never has and never will. 

tbh I think everyone should watch this anyway because it’s very clever and very powerful

I love this, but it’s so fucking messed up that we have to make things like this in order to get straight people to understand. We have to make it about them, because apparently they are incapable of empathy. It’s sad.

There are no words. Everyone needs to see this.

THIS IS SO PERFECT

Just so I’m clear on this: we put a bunch of religious prudes and sexual conservatives in charge of teaching the younger generation about sexuality, and we’re surprised when they turn to the internet to learn about sex?

We refuse to consider that young people might genuinely enjoy sex. We have…

Queer couples on television are not equal as long as an attractive female character can be introduced to the male lead in Act One, sleep with him in Act Three, and we’re expected to consider them in love and be heartbroken if he loses her in Act Five - or accept that they’re now in a relationship and she’s his New Love Interest - and that’s normal…but after four seasons of “profound bond”, “I did it all for you”, “I need you”, going through heaven, hell, purgatory, and the end of the world together, and staring at each other like water in the desert, the vaguest possibility of two attractive male characters getting together is still considered ridiculous by many because there’s “not enough basis for it to be believable.”  

^.

Especially when the writers and cast have referred to this to it as “ridiculous” and “kink”, even though they’re all “aware” of it and it’s “obvious”, but still “don’t talk about it.” Did they ‘not talk about’ Anna and Dean? And when so many fans came to the show through that love story, in hopes it would follow through and break those outdated molds, and now feel alienated by recurring comments.

[Sure it would take time. But little hints and big moments negated as ‘not meant to be part of a love story’? That’s problematic.]

Media normalization matters. Were same sex couples- or any characters non-straight-white-male or straight-white-skinny-female - treated equally in possibilities of character, it would translate to equal treatment socially. The same force that normalized the values and actions in 16 And Pregnant could also do good.

There is something that I simply cannot wrap my head around with people who harass or make assumptions about women who are cosplaying. Where in our society is it ever considered appropriate to touch someone without their permission? The idea that one of the most basic rules of social conduct and interpersonal interaction vanish just because someone is wearing a costume or is dressed in something slightly revealing is not only absurd and frightening, it is utterly moronic. You do not touch another person without their permission. That is understood. You don’t give some stranger on a bus a hug because you feel like it. You don’t grab your co-worker because he’s not wearing a tie. So why would anyone ever think it’s ok to do that at a convention to someone just because they’re cosplaying? It is simply unacceptable that this is even a problem. No one should ever think that this behavior is ok under any circumstances. Ever.

Pregnant woman have their bellies touched by strangers all the time without their permission.  I’m not trying take a way too much from this message. I don’t think anyone at anytime should be touched without their permission. Harassing cosplayers should not be tolerated, nor should touching the belly of a pregnant woman.

Also, small children are often touched by strangers, or excessively touched by relatives even when the child is showing displeasure or discomfort. There are a lot of situations that some people think are exceptions to the personal space rule, but there are no exceptions.

In our society today girls feel that they need to be skinny in order to find love.  Fact is, your true love is gonna love you no matter what.  If he cares about the size of your thighs more than the size of your heart…drop him my darlings, as no man should make you feel bad about your size if he truly loves you <3

Reblog. Every. Single. Time.

Love this

on april fool’s day, you really shouldn’t:

  • post screamers
  • make a fake suicide note
  • tell people to kill/cut/hurt themselves and then call it a joke
  • spread viruses through posts

You SHOULD:

  • Change your icon to Nick Cage
  • Follow  Cole Sprouse on Twitter then unfollow the next day and claim it was a social experiment
  • Tell people to hunt for Easter eggs you didn’t hide

But seriously.

People will call celebrities by ridiculous stage names that were made-up to sound more unique, but they refuse to call trans* people the names they have chosen to match their gender identity. 

If you can call Nicole Polizzi by the name Snooki, then you can call a trans* person by their chosen name.

Reblogging this again because it’s so fucking important. If someone you love is having these same issues, do something about it. Don’t wait until it’s too fucking late…. That guilt will eat you alive, believe me.

Fucking crying. The ending is so beautiful. She mouths “thank you” while looking up. SUICIDE IS 100% PREVENTABLE. REACH OUT TO OTHERS. HELP OTHERS. SEE THAT KID THAT SITS ALONE AT LUNCH?! MAYBE YOU SHOULD FUCKING SIT NEXT TO HIM/HER.

So for those of you may or may not know the organization PETA is people against animal cruelty.

Well let me tell you a story that I just found out today.

Our dog Boulder is a show dog and he was at a show a few weeks or so ago.  PETA was also there and they were protesting how dog shows are inhumane. 

So what did they fucking do?  They let all/most of the dogs out of their kennels and put rat poison inside the kennels.

Boulder got sick after the show and as they were doing tests and everything they found the rat poison in his system.  PETA killed my dog.

My dog Boulder has cancer now which spread to his kidney and his lungs.  He is not going to make it.  He has lost a lot of weight and needs to be fed by hand because of fucking PETA. 

So I want you guys to spread this like wildfire.  Tell everyone about this.  Because of PETA we are losing a member of our family who is near and dear to us.

“I was raped by four men in one evening. I got drunk and tried to say no. What did my predators do? They told me to drink more. They shoved a bottle in my face and told me to keep drinking. Drink till I was drunk enough to fuck them. I blacked out. They urinated on me. They assaulted me. They shoved foreign objects in my body, anally and vaginally. They took videos. I was just 16 years old. The video was sent around my entire school, and I was bullied every single day of my senior year of high school. I lost all of my friends. I was physically and verbally abused by peers and people I once called friends. Someone tried to set me on fire in the hallway during passing period. Nobody sympathized with me. Nobody cared about the fact that because of these events, I was trying to kill myself every single day. I was cutting myself, making myself puke, showering upwards of fifteen times a day because I felt filthy. I was scratching and peeling the skin off of my body because I was dirty. I looked at myself like I deserved what I got. The world saw me as dirty, so I began to see myself that way, too. My rapists were praised by my peers for their deed. I never had a voice. When I first learned about the Steubenville incident going to trial, I was overjoyed. Because Jane Doe’s story was my story, and if anyone deserved justice, it was her. She would get the justice I never got. She would change the tide of the rape culture movement. Despite the horrific events that occurred, I knew that the justice served would help ease her pain. But she didn’t get justice, and now she has to witness this news coverage, favoring and sympathizing with her attackers. Pain is not an accurate word to describe what she is feeling right now. Pain is the simplest term you could use. As a rape victim and an aspiring journalist, I am disgusted with the way this case was reported on. Jane Doe’s rapists deserve their suffering in prison. They deserve more. They do not deserve to be sympathized with. They made their stupid decision, and they deserve whatever consequences come their way. If you don’t want to be labeled as a rapist, don’t fucking rape.”

Anonymous comment left on the CNN petition demanding they apologize for sympathizing with the Steubenville rapists  (via moniquebella)

This country needs a paradigm shift regarding how we view rape.  It should not be used as a slang term, and we certainly should not be sympathizing with the attackers.
