I’m a bi girl and I’m 5'11". This means I was near the same height and occasionally taller than boys I liked. Most of them thought this was extremely unattractive. When I found a guy who could accept it, it was begrudgingly. I thought for a while my height was something a significant other would have to look past rather than something they’d actually embrace… until I found my tiny, 5'1" lesbian gf who LOVES tall girls and actively loves my height. 😊

People here actually think tumblr chose to ban those accounts because they were going through every social justice tumblr and thought “this is just too subversive, it must be Russian.” They were banned because their IP addresses were from confirmed Russian troll farms.

are you saying. theyre eggs

[softcore-revolutionary]

@ bi and pan girls, you’re allowed to openly express attraction towards men if you’re attracted to men. It doesn’t take away from your sexuality. It doesn’t water down your gayness. You don’t have to pretend to be a lesbian, being bi is enough.

one of my favorite weird history moments has got to be when american agents tasked with nixon’s security while he was in the soviet union as vice president under eisenhower detected unusual amounts of radiation in his hotel room so they discussed it loudly to each other to make sure the soviets knew that they knew since there were obviously bugs everywhere and the next day it just mysteriously went away and they never learned any more about it

The Soviets: What if we irradiated Nixon to try and give him radiation poisoning

Secret Service Agents the room over: WOW NIXONS ROOM SURE IS RADIOACTIVE! I SURE HOPE WE CAN FIGURE OUT WHERE ALL THIS RADIATION IS COMING FROM. THE RADIATION IN NIXON’S ROOM THAT IS. THE ONE WE’RE MONITORING SO CLOSELY WE EVEN BOTHERED TO TEST FOR RADIATION LEVELS.

The Soviets: fuck shit abort theyre onto us abort

Fascinating how white liberals and white supremacists get along perfectly 

[fromchaostocosmos]

So I actually did a little digging and the date on that tweet in the image above is 6/5/17

But if you go and see the actual tweet the date is really  8:42 PM - 8 Nov 2016 Go see for yourself.

This is actually from when Julia Ioffe wrote a scathing article titled  Scenes From the Trump Hotel which was from Election day.

She interviewed Spencer which I will put here so you can read and heads up he sexually assaults her.

“Are you ready to concede yet?” said Richard Spencer, the young white nationalist who coined the term “alt-right,” swilling a Manhattan and doing his best to look the part of 1930s hipster in tweed slacks and a matching vest, and that crisp “fash” haircut, which combines the words for “fashion” and “fascist,” and, Spencer said, has “spread like wildfire.”

“People didn’t understand the power of the white vote,” he said jubilantly.

Was this a white victory? I asked him.

“Totally!” he said. This, he said, was a victory over “the abstract idea of citizenship” in favor of “identity and a nation,” “because, fundamentally, to be an American is to be a white person.” (As for the people who don’t fit that category, “They’re not going anywhere.”)

“And the other thing is that the cucks are dead,” he said, using the alt-right slang for establishment conservatives they despise. “They chose the wrong side and we chose the right side. We are going to displace the conservative movement, we are going to be the right. Period. It’s going to be a lot of fun.” The alt-right would become professionalized and would become the new political establishment on the right, which was fine, Spencer said, because they don’t mind the political establishment as long as they’re the political establishment.

Which got Spencer thinking: What role could he play in a Trump administration? “I would want to be secretary of state,” he said. His first trip would be to Syria, his second to Russia—to tell them “we’re not going to get into a war over this”—then to China. Failing that, though, Spencer would want to be minister of culture and “spend millions of dollars on Wagner.”

The conversation kind of soured—“I feel like this is an inquisition”—when he refused to say whether Hitler was good or bad—“he’s an important historical figure”—or whether the Holocaust was good or bad, said that the anti-Semitic alt-right trolls haranguing me and other Jewish journalists were “just kids having fun,” and when he slid his finger down the back of my dress and said, “You have a slit here.” Surprised at my request not to touch me, he asked me to “calm down.”

It does not go unnoticed that there is this smearing of a Jewish woman to make her seem like she is white supremacist sympathizer. Especially seeing as this same Jewish woman was harassed and sent death threats along with images of her photoshoped in Holocaust images for writing an article on Melania  Trump that was not sycophantic.

This smearing of her is not just this there is also:

Julia Ioffe found herself at the center of a Twitter firestorm over a six-year-old post in which she repeated a racial slur for black people.

Ioffe, a staff writer at the Atlantic who is known for her liberal politics, initially thought her account had been hacked before realizing the 2011 tweet was actually a quote taken from someone she was interviewing, not written in her own voice.

What is happening here is the willful misconstruing of facts in order malign and smear a Jewish person and to make them appear as a white supremacist sympathizer.

This is antisemitism plain and simple.

Also if you look at the date on the tweet in the first post you will see that is not even how twitter does their dates and times.

I don’t know if OP is the one who messed with the image or they got if from somewhere else all I do know is that what we have here is antisemitism.

I hope that this version with the correct information spreads as fast and as far as the false antisemitic original did.

[twodotsknowwhy]

GUYS PLEASE READ THIS AND STOP SPREADING THOS POST AROUND UNCRITICALLY

[rootless-cosmopolitan]

Reblogging bc i’ve only seen the original dumb ass post before this

[brainstatic]

Julia Ioffe has been harassed 24/7 by neo-nazis because she wrote an article about Melania a year ago. They leave Hitler speeches on her voicemail. But by all means, keep making assumptions based on a picture and falling for a neo-nazi propaganda campaign.

This is another one from a Russian account, from June of 2017. They didn’t stop when the election was over, they continually turned you against trustworthy sources of information.

My emotions are valid*

*valid does not mean healthy, or good, or to be privileged above common sense and kindness

[proxi-centauri]

A distinction for anyone who is young and hasn’t figured this out yet:

You are allowed to have whatever emotions you want. No one can control your emotions. Emotions are healthy responses to things.

You are not allowed to have behaviors that are harmful just because you have certain emotions. Your behaviors are what you can control, and they are far easier to control than your emotions.

You can be jealous about someone or their talents until you turn green, but it is harmful to yourself and to that person if you try to sabotage them because of it. You can be so angry you can literally feel your temperature rise, but this does not give you permission to rage at others.

Your emotions are valid. They are always valid. You are a person of value. However, you behaviors are not always justified just because of those emotions. You may not be able to control you emotions, but you can certainly control your behaviors.

We thought tumblr didn’t understand their own website but then they sent a mass callout post baselessly accusing users of being Russian spies so maybe they understand their website better than we could have ever imagined.

[robbstark-archive-deactivated20]

I had to answer a security question over the phone today and it was honestly surreal the guy asked me “okay, what’s your dream car” and for a solid ten seconds I’m thinking ‘what the fuck I can’t even drive?’ and then it hits me. I made this account in 2014. I know what I have to say. I swallow my pride and whisper into the phone:

“1967 Chevy Impala.”

There’s silence. Then, he gives me my password. Fuck you, 2014 me. Fuck. You.

[bogleech]

Even knowing they don’t want to eat people and that they’re asleep, because this is how they sleep, the idea of floating in an empty blue void with a bunch of a giant grey slab creatures just hovering around doing nothing is pleasingly frightening on a sort of primal existential level
