Just Keep Swimming

Trying to get through life without scratching my brains out. Having fun, letting out some tears, laughing and sharing in the madness we call life. lets start an open discussion about the thoughts in our heads, lay em on me children, I've come to help.

If Janet from The Good Place can wear dresses and have long hair and use she/her pronouns and not be a girl, so can you!

Ooh, found the guy’s mysterious glasses, huh Velma?

That’s n– whoa whoa whoa what are you–

NOOOO DON’T SMUDGE THE LENSES

You wear glasses yourself, you know how horrible it–

Oh! Hey, he’s back!

…

…you… you aren’t planning on swapping your glasses with his, are you? 

Look, every prescription is different, each head size is unique, and your frames are 10x as thick, there’s no way he would simply not notice–

…oh.

Never mind, then.

I guess they just so happen to perfectly match his near/farsightedness, and–

…wait, what do you have behind your…

…

…

…Velma… where do you keep an extra set of glasse– you know what, I don’t wanna know.

And now what are you– that’s not gonna work, it’s a TV camera! It doesn’t have ears to keep the glasses on! 

They’re not gonna magically stay on, especially since the width is several inches more than the– wait, why are his frames suddenly identical to yours–

…

…

…Velma… how do you glasses

i do not understand your glasses magic at all

Hey if you’re schizophrenic/psychotic I just want you to know that you’re a wonderful person and that you deserve so much better than the demonization, marginalization and stigmatization you face in this society.

[sweetschizo-deactivated20190808]

Please consider reblogging this/other positivity posts for schizophrenic/psychotic people every once in a while. If you have more than 100 followers, odds are that a couple of them experiences psychosis and that they rarely see positivity posts for people with their symptoms.

don’t just let boys be feminine. Let MEN be feminine. Grown-ass men. Hairy, fat, old, muscular, unattractive, disabled, etc.

The ones that aren’t young, thin, hairless, conventionally attractive twinks. Let them be feminine too.

Without making it weird and fetish-ey, for fuck’s sake. Think y’all can manage that?

new critical thought: is the celebrity that everyone is calling a ““fashion icon”” really that fashionable or are they just skinny and rich?

LITERALLY EXACTLY WHAT BELLA’S WEARING!! EXACTLY THAT!!

[brucebocchi]

this is 100% why i never fucked with that “normcore” nonsense and why i’m still extremely self-conscious about what i wear and how my clothes fit, even after my weight loss. wearing “normal” clothes only becomes “fashion” when it’s on skinny attractive people and once it’s on a fat person it’s suddenly the trappings of the tacky and the unwashed poors. fuck out of here. you can make anything look good.

[radical-grape]

The audacity of people to just make fun of random women like that is fucked up. I really like their outfit and think it suits them nicely for casual wear, but honestly that's beside the point. Women should be allowed to exist in public without constantly getting unwarranted opinions about how they look.

[transwomanexclusionary-deactiva]

those outfits are cute people really are just mad they're on fat women

Do Not Vote For Kanye.

Okay Other people have talked about this but I’m gonna get it off my chest because why not. 

So 2016, a not great election that has lead us where? here, the country is being fucked sidewise why a pandemic who’s rise is totally the fault of our shitty President, a President who likes Confederate flags and statues more than black lives. We can go on and on, but “how did it happen?” 

as you can see Hillary Clinton won 3 million more votes than Trump. So what happened? the electoral college happened, Trump won 3 key states by a very small number of votes

Wisconsin: Trump won by 0.77%, write ins for “candidates” like Bernie Sanders or Harambe won 1.30% of the vote

Pennsylvania: Trump won by 0.72% write-ins won 1.06% of the vote

Michigan: Trump won by 0.23% put together write-ins and 3rd parties vote was over 5% of the vote

less than 100,000 votes in 3 states landed us in this hell, and many were people writing in jokes (Harambe) or just objections (Bernie Sanders) which brings us to:

Now it’d be bad given what we just reviewed to have any joke campaigns right now. However I suspect that this isn’t just a joke or West being his usual weirdo self, no I expect it’s a favor to Trump. Oh don’t you know? Trump and Kanye are pals

Here they are Kanye was one of the first meetings President-Elect Trump took after winning in 2016

Here’s Kanye wearing a MAGA hat with Trump in the Oval Office

don’t worry it’s a family affair:

Here’s Kanye’s Wife Kim Kardashian at a White House event between her friends First Daughter and Son-in-law Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner.

Now Kanye is saying he’s no longer in with Trump:

this is bullshit, no matter what Kanye does or doesn’t believe (and I think he’s lying) his “campaign” only helps Trump, if “Vote Kanye!” becomes a meme and people really write-in his name, particularly in key states, it came make all the difference. Don’t vote Kanye, don’t even joke about it, this is not a joke, it’s not funny, people are dying go vote Biden. 

[runawaymarbles]

also worth considering: Trump isn’t angry about Kanye running, or given him an insulting nickname like he does anyone who breathes wrong near him.

Ruby Bridges was the first black child to desegregate the all-white William Frantz Elementary School in Louisiana during the New Orleans school desegregation crisis in 1960.

This movie made me cry, I was so heart broken by how Ruby Bridges was treated! She was only 6, but was so strong. She is a very brave girl and she did not care what the white folks called her.

People are simply disgusting to minimize people by skin color!

Ruby you might not think you’re a hero… But to other people you are! You are A HERO and you are A PERSON WHO MADE AMERICA CHANGE!

[caliphorniaqueen]

this is white culture, this is their history, this is their legacy…being enraged at a damn baby just because she’s black.

[blackfemmejeanvaljean]

she’s still alive by the way

Ruby Bridges in 2010 

“As Bridges describes it, “Driving up I could see the crowd, but living in New Orleans, I actually thought it was Mardi Gras. There was a large crowd of people outside of the school. They were throwing things and shouting, and that sort of goes on in New Orleans at Mardi Gras.“ Former United States Deputy Marshal Charles Burks later recalled, “She showed a lot of courage. She never cried. She didn’t whimper. She just marched along like a little soldier, and we’re all very very proud of her.“ 

U.S. Marshals escorted Bridges to and from school

As soon as Bridges entered the school, white parents pulled their own children out; all the teachers refused to teach while a black child was enrolled. Only one person agreed to teach Ruby and that was Barbara Henry, from Boston, Massachusetts, and for over a year Henry taught her alone, “as if she were teaching a whole class.”

Every morning, as Bridges walked to school, one woman would threaten to poison her; because of this, the U.S. Marshals dispatched by President Eisenhower, who were overseeing her safety, allowed Ruby to eat only the food that she brought from home.

Another woman at the school put a black baby doll in a wooden coffin and protested with it outside the school, a sight that Bridges Hall has said “scared me more than the nasty things people screamed at us.” At her mother’s suggestion, Bridges began to pray on the way to school, which she found provided protection from the comments yelled at her on the daily walks.”

THIS SHIT WAS ONLY 58 YEARS AGO. PEOPLE WHO PARTICIPATED IN THIS RACIST TERRORISM AND ACTS LIKE IT ARE STILL ALIVE, AND THEIR KIDS ARE IN THEIR 40′S AND 50′S. 

DON’T LET RACISM APOLOGISTS GET AWAY WITH “WHY ARE YOU LIVING IN THE PAST,” BULLSHIT ARGUMENTS. WE ARE LITERALLY STILL DEALING WITH THE FAMILIES THAT FORMED HATE MOBS OVER BLACK CHILDREN ATTENDING SCHOOL WITH WHITE KIDS.

This was her then:

This is literally how she looks in 2017. 

She’s literally not even  old. 

[rosslynpaladin]

Some of those people in that crowd are VOTING this year. Their children raised by them are voting this year.  And they want to Make America Great Again. 

VOTE.
