I want us to celebrate Pride even while we're trapped at home so here is a Pride in Isolation prompt list! Create whatever you want (painting, poem, sculpture, drawing, etc) based on the theme for each day!

kindness is a discipline, not a trait
Yes.
As with many disciplines, kindness may come more easily to some than to others. But it is nonetheless something you can learn, something you can teach, something you can work at.
Something you do, rather than something you are.
““There are many reasons people will accept a love that hurts. Sometimes they think that’s what they deserve. Sometimes they’re afraid they won’t find anything better. Sometimes they don’t know how to turn it down, and sometimes… they feel responsible for others.” She shook her head. “Whatever it is, it – people should be free to say no. To refuse something harming them, to say enough is enough. To walk away and come back as they deem fit.””

spookyscaryskeltons (Buttons15 / spookybuttons)
AKA the writer of probably the best Elsamaren fic EVER holy shit
TRUE FACTS. I just read this fic a little while back and I am still in love with it. It is easily the best fic I have ever read.
I have just discovered that I ship HoneyMelsa / ElsaMaron so hard. Frozen 2 is an incredible movie and no one can tell me different. Also amazing fic for my newfound ship on AO3 by Buttons15 (or spookyscaryskeletons, idk how that all works). It is called Cryptid and it is so good and so well written. *swoon*
Such a cool vid
RE: my rant post
this is amazing thank you @southerngirlrockmyworld
The entirely unnecessary demise of Barnes & Noble
“Whether the Andrea Gail rolls, pitch-poles, or gets driven down, she winds up, one way or another, in a position from which she cannot recover. Among marine architects this is known as the zero-moment point – the point of no return.” –Sebastian Junger, “The Perfect Storm”
Posts like this aren’t my usual fare, but there’s a lot of readers on Tumblr. So y’all might be interested – or, if not, you really should be.
On Monday, this went down:
That’s the bloodless, matter-of-fact, ho-hum business event way of describing it. Let me paint you a different picture.
On Monday morning, every single Barnes & Noble location – that’s 781 stores – told their full-time employees to pack up and leave. The eliminated positions were as follows: the head cashiers (those are the people responsible for handling the money), the receiving managers (the people responsible for bringing in product and making sure it goes where it should), the digital leads (the people responsible for solving Nook problems), the newsstand leads (the people responsible for distributing the magazines), and the bargain leads (the people responsible for keeping up the massive discount sections). A few of the larger stores were able to spare their head cashiers and their receiving managers, but not many.
Just about everyone lost between 3 and 7 employees. The unofficial numbers put the total around 1,800 people.
People.
We’re not talking post-holiday culling of seasonal workers. This was the Red Wedding. Every person laid off was a full-time employee. These were people for whom Barnes & Noble was a career. Most of them had given 5, 10, 20 years to the company. In most cases it was their sole source of income.
There was no warning.
But it gets worse.

About the Houses
Hufflepuff is tea and sweaters. Hufflepuff is punching someone in the face because they need to shut up, calm down, or get the sense knocked into them. Hufflepuff is spring, seeing winter melting away and basking in the sunlight. Hufflepuff is singing loudly to Journey and Queen. Hufflepuff is having the messiest room and yet knowing exactly where to find everything. Hufflepuff is “there’s no such thing as too much chocolate”. Hufflepuff is one too many glasses of champagne so the world feels like sunshine. Hufflepuff is honestly not giving a damn what anyone else thinks. Hufflepuff is prank wars that spiral out of control. Hufflepuff is getting shit done while everyone else argues. Hufflepuff is refusing to fit into the mold, which results in hufflepunks. Hufflepuff is staying up till three am to talk someone out of depression, out of suicide, out of something stupid, convincing them how amazing and how loved they are. Hufflepuff is loyalty, is true friendship, not the plastic My Little Pony stuff but the true friendship. Hufflepuff is the first ones to get Netflix running at Hogwarts, despite magical interference. Hufflepuff is loneliness, is the intense desire for friendship. Hufflepuff is having to deal with derision and scorn. Hufflepuff is loyalty placed in the wrong ideal, loving the wrong person. Hufflepuff is drowning in emotions that bring panic attacks.
Ravenclaw is winter peace and blizzards. Ravenclaw is the beauty of white snow against evergreens and a baby blue sky. Ravenclaw is the sharpness and cutting edge of a cold breeze, the glint of a metal blade. Ravenclaw is the silence of a library, lost completely in a world of ink and screens and words. Ravenclaw is a glass of wine and an old friend. Ravenclaw is martial arts and street smart. Ravenclaw is always asking why. Ravenclaw is pages filled with writing and doodles and diagrams. Ravenclaw is telling dirty jokes in code so no one can tell why you’re laughing so hard you can’t breathe, and the teacher can’t read the notes you were passing in class. Ravenclaw is failing a class because you couldn’t be bothered to read or do homework, it was too boring and you had other things. Ravenclaw is challenging the status-quo and saying “there’s always another option”. Ravenclaw is citrus and a stash of junk food that you always seem to eat right away. Ravenclaw is learning a new language because you want to. Ravenclaw is an innocent face that can hide the dirtiest mind. Ravenclaw is a pile of books that you’ll read - you will, you promise - one day. Ravenclaw is looking up and saying “hell, when did it get to be three thirty AM”, and you have classes in five hours but decide that staying up another half hour won’t hurt. Ravenclaw is love that happens slowly, like creeping ivy, till one day you wake up and realize it’s ensnared you tightly and you wouldn’t have it any other way. Ravenclaw is addiction, to coffee, to drugs, to sweets, anything to get that clarity and that swooping feeling. Ravenclaw is coldness, is locking away resentment to fester, is “revenge is a dish best served cold”. Ravenclaw is shutting up and never ever asking for help, because you’re smart enough, capable enough to handle it. Because you have to.
Gryffindor is summer, cloudless blue skies and endless green fields. Gryffindor is adrenaline highs and truth or dare. Gryffindor is bright red lipstick and cologne that makes heads turn. Gryffindor is parties that go all night. Gryffindor is fireworks exploding in the sky. Gryffindor is standing up to anyone, friend, foe, or stranger, to tell them they’re wrong. Gryffindor is throwing your friend a beer and jumping on their lap to take a nap. Gryffindor is the love of horror games. Gryffindor is steak and burgers, Gryffindor is spicy curry. Gryffindor is taking the risk, making the leap, no matter the odds. Gryffindor is raising your hand in class. Gryffindor is passionate love, whether it be romantic, platonic, or otherwise, that sees no difference in a hand picked wildflower and a diamond necklace as long as it makes the recipient happy. Gryffindor is defending, even if it’s defending someone you hate against someone you love, because Gryffindor stands up for what is right. Gryffindor is recklessness, the uncontrollable emotion, the carelessness with laws and rules. Gryffindor is choosing the ‘morally correct’ option even if it means more are hurt. Gryffindor is solving things brashly, physically, and only making everything worse.
Slytherin is fall evenings, the air crisp but not cold, the setting sun revealing autumn beauty before darkening to show a million billion stars in the indigo inky sky. Slytherin is when the air smells like cloves and cinnamon and smoke from the crackling bonfire. Slytherin is apple pie with vanilla ice cream. Slytherin is a glass of golden scotch. Slytherin is finding comfort in jeans and a leather jacket, dying your hair and tattoos that are like artwork. Slytherin is pride in your heritage, in what it took to get you here. Slytherin is the warm blossom of accomplishment in your chest. Slytherin is tall boots and long scarves. Slytherin is the person you’d trust with anything and everything, the one you love above all else, the one you’d kill for. Slytherin is not being afraid of the dark, but remembering that night heals. Slytherin is musky forests and the steady soothing rainfall. Slytherin is sarcasm and wit. Slytherin is determination in the face of fear. Slytherin is talking your way out of situations to keep those you love safe. Slytherin is the love that shows itself quietly from day to day, with quiet brushes and unsaid favors, but that rears up in fury to defend if necessary. Slytherin is the dark side, the morally ambiguous, the race to the finish line for whatever it is you desire, shoving others aside because you have to. Slytherin is locking yourself in a shadowed corner and curling up, because it’s too much… it’s too much… and wiping the tears and standing anyway, head held high because you can’t stop now, and you can’t show weakness.
Hufflepuffs are not weak. Ravenclaws are not heartless. Gryffindors are not arrogant. Slytherins are not evil.
Break Stereotypes. Be Open-Minded.
I swear to Rowling this is the most true thing I have ever found. I am a slytherin and my second house is ravenclaw and all of these are just so true. I love them
or, you know, teach people not to rape other people…
Sadly, even if you teach people not to rape, they’ll do it anyway if they really want to, so these are still helpful in the event of rape, OR assault.
These self defense tips are not here to tell a person not to get raped, they are here to tell a person what to do in the event where someone is attempting to rape or assault them.
We do need to teach people not to rape, but we do not yet live in a world where rape and assault does not happen, and until we do, it’s important that we know how to protect ourselves in the event that it does happen.
Someone get tumblr user shinjaninja a medal.
This is something that some Navy SEALs taught girls in my gym class in high school. But there’s another rather effective (and kinda cool) tactic to use.
They used myself (A tall kid at the time, not very big but rather tall) and a rather skinny, tiny short girl for a demonstration. They had me grab the girl’s neck from behind—as pictured in the bottom left—and keep her in a tight headlock. Then the SEALs instructed the girl to drop to one knee and allow gravity to flip me over her shoulder onto my fucking head.
That’s right. No matter how small you might be, or how big and strong your attacker is, you can shift their center of gravity against them and flip them over shoulder with little to no effort on your part, allowing you time to land a blow and get the fuck out of there. And ever since then, I’ve taught my female friends that trick if time and circumstance ever allowed. Stay safe, ladies.
Imma add another tip:
Pointer and middle finger right under the jaw and push up. Try it, it hurts like hell, and it will get them to lift their head up at which point you can kick or elbow loose.
That one, and under the nose, too. Place your thumb under it, and shove upward. They’ll either back off out of reflex, or you’ll break their nose. Plus, it will shatter their concentration, and they won’t be able to keep a grip on you, which will let you get loose, and give you an opportunity to either escape, or employ another tactic.
Everyone needs to see this. Spread it
All of the above, plus this. Your elbow is the hardest part of your body. Yeah it hurts like the dickens when you bang it against a table or a doorframe, but it’s great when you use it on another person.
The softest/most hurtable parts of the human body are: stomach, chest, throat, and generally anywhere in the face. Basically if you think you can your elbow there, jam it in with full force.
Another great trick is to slap their ears. I can guarantee that they will a) lose their balance and b) have a very hard time going after you and will have an extremely annoying ringing in their ears.
We shouldn’t have to know these things because we should always feel safe, but we aren’t at all times, so for the love of everything know how to defend yourself. It’s important.
also biting hurts like fuck will make them bleed and if you smile at them like you’re getting off on it they’ll freak out and run away
Although I dont fully recommend biting them and drawing blood because you don’t know what diseases they might have
So Just Remember what Sandra Bullock taught us!!! ( I know it’s just a movie but this has actually SAVED LIVES. Just please read)
S.I.N.G.
Solar Plex- the middle of the stomach, use your elbow as hard as you can. Have you ever been hit there? That shit is painful.
Instep- This is the middle of their foot, step on it with all your worth Dammit.
Nose- using the heal of your hand, thrust upward into their fucking rapist face. Channel your inner badass and just fucking go for it.
Groin- OKAY NO SERIOUSLY HAVE YOU EVER TOUCH A GUY’S SEA CUCUMBER WITH A FUCKING LIMP STRAND OF PASTA?!?! THEY DOUBLE OVER LIKE A GRANDMA EATING OREOS ON AN INFOMERCIAL. I HAVE NO CHILL ABOUT THIS BECAUSE PEOPLE ALWAYS KNOW THAT IT HURTS GUYS BUT THEY DON’T UNDERSTAND. MY SISTER PLAYED FAST PITCH SOFTBALL RIGHT, AND HER COACH WAS A MIDDLE AGED MAN AND SO HE WAS PITCHING TO HER AS SHE PRACTICED HITTING AND SHE HIT A POP UP RIGHT INTO HIS NETHER REGIONS AND I SWEAR ON JACKS BEANSTOCK THAT MAN HIT THE GROUND AND FUCKING THREW UP. HE WAS IN SO MUCH PAIN HE VOMITED AND HAD TO BE CARRIED OFF THE FEILD AND INTO THE UMP HOUSE AND WAS IN THERE FOR MOST OF THE GAME. AND IT FUCKING HURTS WOMEN TOO. I KID YOU NOT THAT SHIT WILL PUT ANY RAPIST- NO MATTER THE GENDER- TO THE FUCKING GROUND. EVERYONE AND EVERY GENDER NEEDS TO KNOW THIS. GO FORTH AND CONQUER.
