Here’s some hard to swallow pills that’ll probably make people upset but is 100% the truth and idc.

You do not have to stay in a relationship with a mentally ill person if it becomes too much for you to handle. You are not their saviour, that’s not your responsibility to save them.

Any person who uses their mental instability to control you staying is a shitty person. IE “if you leave me I swear to god I’ll kill myself”, still not your responsibility, LEAVE.

[scooteraz-deactivated20190119]

Sooo,..if your other half becomes mentally ill,you have no responsibility to stay with them when it becomes rough? Like,you can just dump them?

If it becomes too much to handle,seek help,but dont abandon them.Just when they need you the most.

Personally,I dont agree with this post.. Not dissing,just saying.

[nonsense-choir]

They’re not saying jump ship at the first sign of mental illness. They’re saying that you can’t be someone’s therapist for them. Love doesn’t cure mental illness. You can’t love it away. And if they use their illness as an excuse to become in any way abusive, hurtful, or aggressive toward you, you are never obligated to deal with abuse to help them.

You have to look out for yourself too, it can’t be all about them just because they have a mental illness. And everyone’s illness is different.

Some illnesses can cause behaviors that are difficult to deal with when you’re on the receiving end of them if they’re not being worked on. Possessiveness, jealousy, paranoia, logical leaps to accusations, apathy toward you, neglect, difficulty managing anger, delusions about you they can’t differentiate from reality, among others….

All these things can negatively affect other people and being mentally ill doesn’t absolve anyone from being responsible for the harm they cause others.

Love is love, but no one’s obligated to be in a relationship for any reason. Even something minor. Even this. You only get one life, and if you’re unhappy, you don’t need to stay that way to keep someone else happy.

Prof says he'll grade students on a curve, so they organize a boycott of the exams and all get As

Johns Hopkins Computer Science prof Professor Peter Fröhlich grades his students on a curve: the highest score on the final gets an A and everyone else is graded accordingly.

Clever students in Fröhlich’s “Intermediate Programming”, “Computer System Fundamentals,” and “Introduction to Programming for Scientists and Engineers” figured out that this meant that if they all boycotted the exam, they’d all get As.

So they organized a boycott, milling around the hall outside the class where the exams were being sat, sternly reminding each other that if no one sat the exam they’d all get straight As, ignoring Fröhlich’s pleas to come and sit the exam.

Fröhlich praised his students’ solidarity: “The students learned that by coming together, they can achieve something that individually they could never have done. At a school that is known (perhaps unjustly) for competitiveness I didn’t expect that reaching such an agreement was possible.”

“I consider myself to be a free-ass motherfucker”

“Being a queer black woman in America—someone who has been in relationships with both men and women—I consider myself to be a free-ass motherfucker,” she told Brittany Spanos in the cover story. She adds that, having originally identified as bisexual, she later “read about pansexuality and was like, ‘Oh, these are things that I identify with too.’ I’m open to learning more about who I am.”

if NOBODY is gay in ocean’s 8 i will physically lose my SHIT. you are gonna collect 8 WOMEN CRIMINALS/MATERMINDS and tell me NONE OF THEM ARE GAY? NONE of them fall in love with each other? PREPOSTEROUS. there aren’t enough smart straights to pull off such elaborate schemes. you need a lesbian or two in there or else NOTHING will work! common sense.

Butchphobia Survey

Hello! This is a survey for an essay I am writing about butches (inclu. stud/AG/macha/etc., etc.) and the alienation/exclusion of butch lesbians ("butchphobia" for simplicity sake) within the broader LGBT+ community.

Alright y’all. I’m in the process of writing an essay for my composition class about the alienation and general hatred of butch* lesbians within the broader LGBT+ community (I’m using ”butchphobia” as a term for simplicity sake). I am required to have some kind of primary research, so I’ve decided to do a survey! I am likely to close this survey once I get 100 or so responses. This survey is meant to gather the perspectives of other butch lesbians about their interactions with the LGBT+ community.

I am solely focused on the lesbian experience, so please do not take this survey if you aren’t a butch lesbian, but feel free to spread this post. Similarly, if you take the survey, please read the survey description first.

This survey is inclusive of trans/nb butches.

That its, thanks y’all!

(* = black lesbians who ID stud/AG and latine lesbians who ID as macha are also welcomed in this survey!)

April 22nd: Please help!!

**PLEASE READ/SIGNAL BOOST**

Hi Tumblr, I’m Gemma and I’m so incredibly sorry to ask this but I really need your help. Is anyone may be able to send me £20 so I can buy myself food for today and tomorrow, or a little more to cover this month along with my gas/electricity bills?

I know that I’ve made this post before, but I’ve had to remake it as my last one was embarrassingly long and received a lot of notes but I’m still really struggling to make ends meet and get groceries. Above are photos of my Gas/Electricity meters which are on their emergency credit and I really need help to keep them on or I won’t have any electricity, heating or hot water until mid-May and if my meters do go completely out, then they will collect a debt, making it more expensive to bring them back on. 

On top of that, I don’t receive any financial aid until mid-May(roughly 25th) as my U.C benefit is under a Work Capability Assessment (WCA) and has been suspended, pending appeal. I have also tried my local council, food banks and churches for help but I have exhausted all available help from them and they aren’t able to assist me anymore.

I absolutely loathe to ask for more help but, I still desperately need it as I haven’t eaten properly for a while and even just £1/$1 makes such a difference. Things are getting incredibly difficult and I could really use all the help I can possibly get and sharing definitely helps just as much a donations and nobody has to donate if they can’t or don’t want to.

Thank you so, so much 🙏💖💖

If your straight guy friend says that he supports gays, tell him that you thought he was gay when you first met him. See how fast he gets upset and insecure & starts asking you why you thought that.

[saltylittleslytherin-deactivate]

My gay guy friend tried this to our straight friend and the response he got was “thought? More like hoped” and then he winked. That’s a real ally right there. 

[cobaltdays-deactivated20210208]

He really just scalped your poor gay friend on the spot didn’t he lmfao

[xiaq]

I tried this on a straight friend and he turned bright red and mumbled something about how he might be bisexual actually? so I introduced him to some of the other queer folks I know and flash forward 4 months he’s definitely bi and out to all of our friends and dating a guy on his intramural kickball team.
