Things Only Diabetics Know @blondbarbiee - Tumblr Blog

I want to be really clear about something: Planned Parenthood has done more to prevent abortion than the pro-life movement ever has.

savordance-lifesupport

Yup, preventing abortion by giving abortions. Makes sense!

apoeticmindset

No you fucking crusty nutsack giving people the education and the tools to not become pregnant in the first fucking place

ghoulvalentines-archive

One of my Christian friends made a Facebook post about how PP gave her tons of resources when she was trying to get pregnant and people were actually genuinely shocked that they provided such resources; they had fully bought into the idea that PP is just an “abortion factory”. The misinformation that’s been spread about PP is unreal.

osheamobile

gosh it’s almost like Planned Parenthood will help you plan for parenthood

clementimetodie

When will people understand that it is not as urgent to have Adderall as it is to have insulin. Diabetes and ADHD are not the same I will literally die in a matter of hours without one medication and not without the other.

the only thing i knew about sex at the age of nine was that

1) it was for mommies and daddies who were married;

2) it made me, my five year old sister, and my baby brother.

i learned everything i knew about sex from the internet while secretly browsing grownup sites on my 4th generation ipod touch i earned for doing so well at a piano recital. because of the nature of, you know, men and their internet porn, i learned that my sexual role as a woman was to be slapped and pissed on and tied up. i didn’t know what healthy sex was. i didn’t know it should be mutually consensual, or that it was okay to want sex with girls. i didn’t know that sex should be good for both people. i learned that sex would hurt, and that sex was about men and men only, and that i would be forced into sex whether i liked it or not, and that it was normal to have sex with big, burly, grown men as a teenager. i learned it was normal to cry during sex. i was scared of sex for so many years because of that, and the way i was exposed to sex at a young age led to the inappropriate and traumatic sexual encounters i had (occasionally with older people) later on in my teen years.

the day i got my first period, i was ten-and-a-half. i was swimming in the river with my best friend, and when i got out to go to the bathroom, i noticed brown blood on the inside of my mint-green tankini bottom. i knew what a period was, but i hid it from my mother in shame. she found out, eventually, of course. she told me, you have a woman’s body now, and if you have sex, you could have a baby. all i heard was, you have a woman’s body.

i started shaving my vulva when i was eleven, because i saw memes on memegenerator about how disgusting “hairy pussy” was. i wanted to be sexy. i was eleven years old, and all i wanted was to be sexy. it hurt, and it itched, and it made me uncomfortable, and i’d sometimes nick my labia with the razor, but i did it anyway, because i didn’t want to have a nasty, “hairy pussy.”

eleven was the age i first started getting pinched on the EL. i was an early bloomer: i had B-cup breasts already, and my menstrual cycle was regular enough that i could keep a calendar. i started wearing a full face of makeup to school and buying shorts that rode all the way up my skinny twelve-year-old thighs. i remember the day i stopped jumping off the swings the summer after fifth grade. skinned knees weren’t sexy. smooth, flawless legs were sexy, and i was a sexy girl. i was probably the sexiest little girl in the whole world. my parents hated it. they told me i was too young, but i knew the truth. my body was older, maybe 17 or 18, so my brain must be, too.

when i was twelve, i had a secret kik account that my parents didn’t know about. i used it to message strangers. i made all sorts of friends. i wasn’t stupid. i used a fake name. never showed my face. one of my friends asked me for a bra picture. i was a cool girl, right, i was sexy, so i sent him a picture of me in front of my bedroom mirror in my little white training bra with the blue butterflies.

sexy, he said.

that was all i wanted.

i’m not typing out all this bullshit because i think it’s something special. i’m typing it out because it’s not. i’m typing it out because i see the same thing happening to my little sister. i’m typing it out because i see the same thing happening to that little millie bobbie brown, sexiest actress at thirteen. i’m typing it out because i’m sixteen years old now, a girl in the eyes of the law and a woman in the eyes of men.

mothers, talk to your daughters. tell them to jump off the swingset and skin their knees. tell them to get dirt on their dresses. tell them that they’re a woman on their 18th birthday, not at ten-and-a-half on the first day of their menstrual cycle. the world is confused. the world is sick. if your daughters don’t hear about how to treat their bodies from you, they’ll hear it from the sick, sick world, and they’ll do the things i did.

let girls be girls.

don’t force womanhood on little girls.

Saw a post where someone says Thomas Sanders “is almost 30 and actively encourages minors to send nsfw art.”

Found out that what actually happened was that a kid who purposefully took their age out of their bio before submitting the art because they were afraid Thomas might get in trouble later forgot about it and re added their age and then people went digging through Thomas’ blog after he made an ace positive post and found it. Dog pile ensues. Thomas apologizes for mistake and says he should have found out the person’s age before publishing.

Y'all have GOT to stop acting like a fucking gaggle of church gossips about this stuff. There is a universe of difference between accidentally accepting something from a minor and ACTIVELY ENCOURAGING it. But someone uses that phrasing and it just gets repeated and twisted even after the minor in question explains what happened.

People already act suspicious of gay men that are just “too” nice and I’m so tired of people constantly looking to prove someone is actually the worst kind of person ever just because they don’t agree with them.

Back up your arguments rather than digging for unrelated dirt.

harriet-spy

I don’t care about this guy. At all. But before you make serious charges with real-world repercussions (like pedophilia), you must at least have the common sense and restraint to look at the original evidence and consider any available information that contradicts it. Not just hit reblog because it makes you feel like you belong and gives you a rush of power. That’s some Cultural Revolution Red Guard-spirited bullshit.

I’m sorry if your parents failed to raise you to even the most minimum human standards of decency, but you’re out amongst humans now, time to learn.

anarfea

Signal boosting because I have seen mutuals reblogging stuff about he regularly posts nudes (which seem to be shirtless pics ironically tagged nsfw) and that he solicits nsfw art from minors.

aprillikesthings

holy shit. thomas sanders is a fucking SAINT and he still gets this bullshit?! the poor guy is the most Unproblematic Fave I can possibly imagine on the face of the planet and people will still do this

why?????????

pokemonprofessor

Let us also not ignore that the whole reason people went looking for dirt on him was because he made a post supporting asexuals.

hellenhighwater

I see a lot of people who tell young people–especially young people who are heading into college–that they should “do what they love.” And they’re right. You should do what you love.

But there’s a world of difference between doing what you love for you, and doing what you love for a paycheck.

I went to undergrad for graphic design and 3-D design–art and more art, I usually say–and I loved it. You know what I didn’t love? Trying to collect my fees from clients. Trying to meet unrealistic, over-simplified or over-specific briefs from people who didn’t know what they were talking about. Coming home, having worked creatively all day, with no creative juice left for the things I wanted to do.

You know what I would tell you instead? Do something that you can be interested in, with people you like.

You don’t have to love it. Loving your work can be a lot, and it often means you have to live in your job 24/7. Some people can do that. Not everyone can, or should. But if you can find work that’s interesting enough that it doesn’t feel tedious, and people you can enjoy spending your 9-5 with, and you can make money, that’s great! It means you can do the things you love for you.

I’m in law school now. It’s interesting work, and difficult, and I like doing it. I like how complicated it gets, and I like the stories it tells. But I don’t come home and read law journals for fun. I come home, and I sculpt, and I draw, and I paint, and I read. I do these things for me.

And I love it.

shimmeringecho

Gods I wish I’d had this ten years ago when everyone was pushing for me to do art for a living. Probably wouldn’t have burned out as hard as I did

Captain America is a war criminal, Winter soldier is an assassin and Hawkeye murdered people in endgame.

Men™️ on Twitter: How can Captain Marvel, a woman, twist a man’s hand who verbally abused her. She should be put in jail.

gungan-gundam

Captain America took a moral stand and was branded a war criminal, Bucky was brainwashed against his will, I can’t speak for Hawkeye in Endgamr though.

My point is there’s nuance, meanwhile Captain Marvel is disproportionately violent to some stranger. She’s an ass.

fishlordvehem

Speaking as someone who’s been verbally harassed more times then I can count, being told to smile more while I’m behind the counter at work, in the elevator alone, in the street… This scene wasn’t for you, it was for me, and everyone else who has been in this situation.

Men do this shit all the time, they get to act creepy, threatening, and pass on unwanted “compliments” all the time and we don’t get to defend ourselves. You can tell people that a man made you uncomfortable, but he’ll just say it was an innocent remark, just a compliment. We can say “go away” or “fuck off” and that just leads to more, usually nasty comments or worse, behavior such as stalking or groping or physical abuse/rape, because a woman reacted and that means she “wants” that kind of attention.

The most we can do, the most we can ever do is ignore a man and hope he’ll go away, or hope someone else steps in and makes him leave.

Captain Marvel doesn’t have to ignore him. She doesn’t have to wait for someone to step in. She doesn’t have to call for help.

She’s not a hero for you, she’s a hero for me, and everyone else who has experienced this.

Furthermore, from what I understand, this is a deleted scene. It was removed. It’s not in the movie. I’d like to see the outrage over the sexism in the other Marvel movies, where women are literally just a prop or a plot device. I’d like to see the outrage of how actresses are treated in the making of these movies, how they’re groped and passed around, talked about as if they aren’t really human. I’d like to see some discussions into how we can teach men to behave better so women don’t have to put up with these “polite” requests for a smile, these “gentle” reminders from strangers that our boobs look great when we’re just trying to work, when we’re just trying to shop, when we’re trying to *live*.

But that rarely happens. Men don’t step into those conversations except to shut them down, to argue. “They’re just compliments!”

You’ve never been stalked after being “complimented” by a stranger, you’ve never gotten a ride home only for the driver to call you “gorgeous” and “sexy” and wonders what your vagina looks like the whole way home, then asks for your apartment number so he can “drop off flowers later”. You’ve never been told “oh he’s just like that, he probably won’t do anything” only to see him at your work everyday at your shift each day for the next six months until he’s aressted for assaulting someone else. You’ve never thanked God it wasn’t you he raped only for another man to step up on the subway and ask for pictures of your beautiful body. You’ve never been in a position where you can’t retaliate, where you can’t fight back, where you aren’t stronger, where you’re *scared*.

In the scene, he asked for a smile, but I and every other person who has ever been harassed felt our stomachs go in knots with that request and it was absolutely delightful to see someone *retaliate*. I was going to keep writing but none of you assholes deserve it. Captain Marvel isn’t a hero for you, she’s a hero for me, for women everywhere, and you can scream and shout about about feminism and how it’s ruining your life. But in the end you can go back and have millions of comics, movies, novels in which the world you want, the world where women are “politely” asked to smile and do so, where women roll over on command and think your sense of entitlement is “cute” and “charming” and I have one movie where the world I want is represented, where a woman *doesn’t* have to wonder in fear if a man is going to hurt her or not because he asked for a smile.

I like how Bucky and Cap thought put into them in the comments up there. “He took a moral stand” “he was brainwashed” whatever. My hero took a moral stand too, it just wasn’t for you.

Captain Marvel isn’t a hero for you, so leave her alone and go watch a movie about *your heroes* and come up with fun excuses for their behavior instead of throwing yet another temper tantrum over a thirty second deleted “feminist” scene.

cliteralviolence

Why do men have to ruin everything?

coochie-chronicles

how many other movies have a scene where the male main character gets ostracized by people and end up fucking them up or making them look dumb or stealing their stuff? Literally countless movies. But men really can’t handle it when the main character is a woman can they? They can’t handle it when she’s sticking up for herself can they? Weak

shoutout to paris hilton for not abandoning her ‘micropig’

when it turned out that it was a normal piggy who grew up to be a big fat fatty piggu

chupicronian

Actually that’s pretty standard size for a micro pig. Pigs are ENORMOUS, dude. The average pig on a farm is 7 feet long and over 700 lbs. A normal pig would be much bigger than Hilton.

EDIT: This is a photo of the world’s smallest recognized breed of pig, the kune kune. I’m sorry cartoons lied to you all.

This is the pot bellied pig, another famous “small” breed.

This is your average adult pig.

catbountry

Big ole’ pigs.

kamiyu910

Wild boars can feed people for a very long time! I believe this one was 1800 lbs. (largest piggy ever was about 1,984 lbs)

The 5 things you gotta know before you let that cop into your house

phlegminism-blog

THIS STUFF IS SOOO IMPORTANT TO KNOW. Seriously. It’s saved my ass before.

dammitcaleb-deactivated20130328

What do you do when you look through the peephole and see a badge?

Remember: You do not have to let the police in the house unless they have a warrant — or probable cause. If you’re having a party, turn off the music, ask your guests to chill, and ask that anyone who’s too intoxicated carry on in another room.

Go outside to speak with the cops. Close the door behind you. Although some scary precedents are being set these days, police cannot enter your home without a warrant or probable cause. By closing the door, you’re cutting off a visual — or olfactory — line to potential probable cause.

Be polite. Ask why they are there. “Good evening, Officer. What can I help you with?”

Where possible, assure them you will take care of the problem. If the police ask to enter, inform them, “I do not consent to any searches.” If a police officer gives you an order and you are confused about your position, ask, “Do I have to comply?” If they continue with questioning, tell them you’ll need to call your lawyer and that you will not answer any questions.

Ask, “Am I free to leave?” This is especially handy if, say, a group of you’d been too bawdy on the patio and an officer stops by. If he/she is getting a bit hot under the collar, politely ask, “Am I being detained?” or “Am I free to leave?” If the cop has no reason to hold you, quickly, quietly, and politely retreat inside.

vegans who refuse to even eat backyard eggs….why

despazito

people who think its unethical to eat chicken eggs are like people who think bees should keep all their honey. they literally produce more than they need and your unwillingness to even buy local means you are doing nothing to help them, support your small farmers you heathens

despazito

im begging some people here to apply critical thinking skills

gibbearish

vegans: i don’t eat eggs because the chickens are treated cruelly in those big warehouses, it’s animal abuse and i won’t stand for it

local chicken owners: i agree! that’s why i raise my own chickens in a very loving and healthy environment! they constantly lay unfertilized eggs that have no chance of ever developing into chickens, which means that eating them is doing nothing to harm any chickens! no matter what i do with the eggs, the chickens will just keep laying them, and will even eat them if they’re not collected, so collecting and consuming them is by far the best course of action! would you like some of these eggs?

vegans: no it’s animal abuse

local chicken owners: :////

meanwhileonwednesday

Happy Chickens lay eggs.

If your chickens are unhappy, they don’t lay eggs. So is this actually promoting animal abuse?

Because I’ve heard the “well how can you make chickens stop laying eggs” argument lots

CBC made a good documentary on adult ADHD and part of it really caught me off guard because i swear they repeated verbatim my life story for the past 3 years

full programme here:

http://www.cbc.ca/natureofthings/episodes/adhd-not-just-for-kids

fuckingconversations

My ADHD manifested in excellent in-class work. Excellent understanding in discussions. Excellent participation.

My ADHD manifested in piles of homework left undone until the last possible minute, while I stared at them, thinking; “I want to get these done. I understand the theory. It would take 10 minutes. I want to start, why can’t I start?”

My ADHD manifested in fantastic reading comprehension - nigh impenetrable focus on interesting topics the first time I’m reading about them.

My ADHD manifested in a complete inability to focus on reviews or re-reads, mind skittering sideways and away whenever anything was boring or repetitive. I sat down to study, my books open, my eyes on the text, and my brain clawing its way out the back of my head to focus on something else - anything else. Focus, focus! [No.]

My ADHD manifested in Articulating wings half-finished but still beautiful, in beautiful lineart and half-hearted coloring. In stories written passionately for days until I forgot it existed and never returned. In projects started and forgotten and started and forgotten a thousand times until my bins of project supplies piled up and my bank account shriveled down. No, it will be different this time - I LOVE this new thing. This new thing is my world, my destiny, my Everything. I CREATE and CREATE and CREATE and never FINISH.

My ADHD manifested in confusion and surprise as time slithered away, hours passing like minutes and minutes seeming endless by contrast. An inability to gauge how much time had passed, was left, a task would take. An inability to hold dates in my head, because time didn’t feel consistent or even real.

My ADHD manifested in watching someone talk and not understanding a word they said - literally hearing sounds and translating out only nonsense. In thoughts so loud I couldn’t speak coherently. In a conversation across the room shattering an idea I was trying to hold. It’s hard to think when you’re already thinking about everything around you.
