Ahoy.

Domestic abuse and violence against women are rightfully condemned, loudly and publicly, as utterly criminal and wrong under any circumstances. However abuse doesn’t stop there. There are countless forms of less obvious, insidious abuse that affects people of both genders, non-physical abuse that most of us are kinda expected to just put up with. Especially men.

The hashtag #maybeshedoesnthityou is trending on Twitter, and it’s a real eye-opener. Men are sharing their personal stories of manipulation and emotional abuse, and it’s highlighting all kinds of problematic behavior. (Source)

PLEASE RECOGNIZE THE SIGNS OF ABUSE!

[dhalia-wooed-blog]

Women are more than capable of being physically and emotionally abusive. i see it a lot as a paramedic and it is so hard for men to admit or face up to. As a woman i will call a woman on it just as fast as i will a man. Abuse is abuse, no matter who is doing it.

A hero without a cape

[nyshadidntbreakit]

Her name is Theresa Kachindamoto, and she is a senior chief - political leader of a region with a population of about 900,000 people.

She didn’t run for election; she was appointed, without her knowledge, while she was living and working in a completely different part of the country. She just received a call one day telling her to come back to her childhood home, because she was in charge now.

So she did; and when she arrived, she discovered widespread sexual abuse of children. She browbeat 50 uncooperative local leaders into accepting her decision to annul all the marriages. She then fired four of them when they continued to allow children to be married off in their areas. She still faces widespread opposition from parents who consider it their right to sexually abuse their daughters if they want to; but Kachindamoto very evidently does not give a fuck, and is continuing to use political and legal means to protect children in the region.

She’s not just an anonymous do-gooder; she’s an effective political leader despite incredibly difficult circumstances. Theresa Kachindamoto.

can we end this studyblr ideal that you should be eating fruit for every snack and revising on the bus and studying whilst you walk and learning whilst you eat lunch and staying home at weekends and using every single minute of the day to be productive ??? like ??? no !! eat that chocolate that you’ve been keeping in your kitchen !! listen to your favourite song whilst on the bus !! play games on your phone at lunch time !! meet your friends and have a hella fun adventure !! its obviously okay and good to have a balance between your chill time and your study time but please for the love of god do not let studying take over your life. studying is great and its awesome and you should definitely work hard but you need to remember that your life needs to be lived

you have been visited by the seven magic dragon balls your biggest wish will be granted but only if you reblog

A footage of penguins “mourning” over their child. Hunched over the perfectly preserved chick, the mother pokes gently at it with her beak to check for signs of life. Instinctively, she nudges it towards her pouch because it’s all she has to offer, but it’s far too late.

In perhaps the most heartbreaking moment of the footage, a female companion trundles over and rests her head on the shoulder of the crumpled mother. It’s not right to anthropomorphise and project emotions onto these animals that we don’t know are even there, but it’s pretty surreal how the scene could just as easily be two humans mourning a child.

Hogwarts freshmen be like: Excuse me, um, ma'am yes I have a question. Um. Don’t only the witches ride the brooms? I mean - I’m not, y'know. I’m just saying.

Hogwarts freshmen 2: [with a lisp] leviosa! I, no, I have - I have a lisp. I can’t really pronounce things. [still with a lisp] Leviosa! I-I’m trying.

Hogwarts freshmen 3: Now you said the bathrooms were three doors down on your right, right? Well there’s a three headed dog in there. I’m not sure if that’s the ladies room or whatev. Why don’t we have maps?

Hogwarts freshmen 4: waitlisted: Are y'all gonna get anymore owls? Because I mean, yeah, see, he’s too tiny and he’s not as fast - he’s not as cool as, you know, the other owls.

Hogwarts freshmen 5: Hi, do y'all have regular skittles? I mean, I bought some yesterday and all of them turned into birds. I just want REGULAR SKITTLES.

Shout out to those who do humanity subjects

Shout out to those who write pages and pages of essays instead of practice questions

Shout out to those who run out of ink writing up one essay

Shout out to those who read novel after novel that they don’t even like

Shout out to those who, at the end of an exam, their hand is aching due to the amount of writing they did

Shout out to those who don’t feel appreciated on studyblr because they do a humanity subject and not a science one

Shout out to those who do humanity subjects. You are valued and appreciated, because without humanities, we wouldn’t have a functioning society.
