The FBI sent him a letter trying to convince him to commit suicide. Don’t let this revisionist bullshit slide. The things they say now about protests, kneeling, etc, are the same things they said about the sit-ins and marches.

also WHY does every american lit or american history or w/ever course contain the entire history and writings of england & greater europe up until the colonies but NO documentation of the oral histories and stories from actual native american tribes and look at how that influenced and was influenced by european traditions to create the “american” story. like i KNOW why but christ

[!!!] How to properly tag trigger warnings

Not Okay:

tw butts

tw: butts

trigger warning butts

trigger warning: butts

Loved:

butts tw

butts /////////

butts 324982093493

BUTTS

butts

blacklist only reads the first word!! so tagging “tw butts” is really useless!! and that person who sees a post that triggers them then has to aggressively scroll all the way past it and block the post (if they can)!! Otherwise they have to wait a bit before the post gets buried in their dash!!! not cool!! please be cool and put the actual thing FIRST. We will love you.

omg i had literally no idea!!!!!! im so sorry!!!

reblogging because i’m sorry i had no idea!!

[everythingeverything2-deactivat]

PLEASE DONT SPREAD THIS ANYMORE.

this was made ~6 years ago, tumblr’s been updated and the blacklist will now only respond to specific tags (i.e if you blacklist “tw insects”, tumblr will only filter “tw insects” tags). please for the love of god, keep tagging triggers as “insects tw”, “tw insects”, “insects” AND NOT “insects 3839394i3839394i3i3” or whatever. this goes for your slashes as well, we have to filter every single slash you put into your tags (“tw// insects”, “tw////////// insects”) and it makes it incredibly difficult to navigate.

TLDR; this post is outdated. keep your trigger tags simple (tw [word], [word] tw, [word]). you DO NOT and SHOULD NOT need to use excess numbers/letters/slashes in your tags (you shouldnt use any of these anyway).

[serensmind]

What happened in Berlin was so scary to me. It rlly showed how far the right wing is willing to go.

People of color and ppl who aren't ethnically German(like me, I'm half turkish and half Kurdish) are scared to go outside.

And the media is definitely trying to cover this up, please educate yourself on what's happening in Europe- especially about what just happened in Germany.

Ppl rlly forget what happened just 80yrs ago.

And sure "lEfT wInG iS wOrSe tHaN rIghT wINg" literally shut the fuck up

I am fucking scared to go outside.

[addieclo]

I don’t know what’s going on but I had to share this. I’m trying to look into what’s happening right now, but lord knows I’ll get any info since I’m an American and not every thing is available even if I’m living in the “freest” country of the world.

[serensmind]

If you know what these flags mean- you know

[serensmind]

Don't you fucking ignore this post

Reblogging again so it lands on ur dash

[serensmind]

I will keep reblogging this again and again.

[mango-pickle]

Could someone please explain this? I really want to understand what is going on. In the meantime, I'm reblogging so that it spreads.

[serensmind]

Right wing nationalists in Germany (aka n@zis)and covid deniers went to on a protest without masks and all the safety rules and, then decided to spread anti semitism, propaganda et cetera. After that they stormed the German parliament with n@zi flags and symbols.

I've seen tweets of poc and ppl who aren't ethnically German(like me), being scared to go outside. There's lots of footage especially on twitter please educate yourself on this and spread the message.

Nationalism is on rise again.

Also- the "Hanau shooting" happened in February and our Memorial "demonstration" got canceled.

The Hanau shooting was the killing of bout 10 ppl. The shooter was a n@zi and killed them simply bc they weren't German. He then killed his own mother and committed suicide afterwards.

[lady-charinette]

Also, protests against said neo nazis and those against the covid restrictions, not all the protesters wear masks nor keep any safety distance between each-other either, its counterproductive and only causes more uproar.

For those who wanna read further on it, some links in English:

PLEASE REBLOG.

I'm disappointed to say i don't know the full details of what's going on but I'll make sure to do research on it and spread the word.

In the mean time i hope you're okay.

just because it “fits” doesnt mean its comfortable or sustainable stopppppppp this shit

[paladinpup-deactivated20151129]

There are two main factors at play when someone says that a condom is too small: (1) the band size is too small & (2) the condom is not sustainable

The band is at the base of the condom. It’s latex is made thicker here than the shaft and is, therefore, less elastic. The band keeps the condom secure so it does not come off mid-insertion and so penial fluids do not leak from the condom. To do this, the band has to keep a very tight grip on the base of the penis. This is the main complaint from people using condoms too small for them. The shaft’s plastic can stretch comfortably, but the band is not so lenient and uncomfortably or painfully squeezes the base of the penis.

Condoms in use experience a lot of friction. For a condom’s shaft or band to be stretched farther than it was intended weakens the latex. The band and shaft are then at risk of being broken from the friction. It fitting does not mean it is sustainable.

If your partner says a condom is too small, believe them and cease from doing anything that requires a condom. If your partner says a condom is too small but is trying to pressure you into unprotected sex, kick them out the door. 

[anxiousartisan]

Thaaaank you please read the above they make large and XXL condoms for a reason and it’s not to stoke men’s egos

[snyderman37]

A former… friend suggested I try a size or two larger, and yes, they do work.

[megabeeprime]

Yep. At first, I thought that condoms were supposed to be that tight. I’d seen those “condoms can fit on a two liter bottle so quit your complaining,” I had no basis for comparison because dudes don’t talk about that shit, and no one wants to be that “HURR HURR GUESS I NEED A MAGNUM XL” guy.

[siphersaysstuff]

Now wear that condom on your arm for a while. Ten minutes at least. Still got sensation in your arm?

One of the many failures of sex ed in this country is the notion that there’s only two types of condom, “fits everyone except those elephant-trunk-cock freaks” and “for elephant-trunk-cock freaks or lying braggarts” (and yes, there’s implicit shame in the idea of people needing non-”regular”-sized condoms and the genesis for such is pretty likely rooted in some really nasty viewpoints about certain groups of people but I’m digressing).

But penises come in a LOT of dimensions, and not all of them fit right in a “normal” condom. You don’t need to have a monster down there for a condom to be legitimately painful and/or break mid-act. This can leave a lot of people legitimately unawares that it doesn’t have to be like this. (I was, early on.)

Condom too tight? That’s a real problem for the reasons pointed out above. But it’s a solvable one at most drug stores, which generally have a broader (ha ha) selection than your Walmarts or Targets. Or suck it up (ha ha) and go to an “adult boutique” (a proper one) where they’re likely to have even more options and let’s be real here the people working at these aren’t gonna give you Looks over condom selection. Or shop at said boutiques online if you REALLY need to avoid the in-person thing.

And if you think you’re gonna be doing things requiring condoms, HAVE YOUR OWN. Yes, even if you personally don’t have a penis. Buy a box of large-size as well just in case.

And don’t let anyone give you guff over it, and don’t let anyone pressure you into unprotected sex because of condom size.

[magic-retina-deactivated2017100]

For the record, even if you’re doing things that don’t involve a penis at all, condoms are good to have around. They make great dental dams on the fly, keep toys clean, and keep body parts clean if your partner is using their hands. :) Also, keep some non-latex ones around in case you or your partner has a latex allergy. Trust me, there are few places worse to have that allergic reaction. o_o

[naamahdarling]

Here! Here is a condom size chart!!! There are probably! Others! You can check!!! So you can be comfortable when getting up to shenanigans. Because condoms that don’t fit are sooo uncomfortable and also a safety risk. A properly sized condom can really help improve sensation in the person with the penis.

Absolutely wild how much language surrounding mental illness is based on how annoying we are to neurotypicals. Imagine if acute ailments were like “Ew there’s this gross red stuff you’re getting it everywhere,” and “Can you stop making those weird hacking sounds?”

"Treatment resistant depression" oh do you mean continued unhealthy circumstances?

[pickledangel]

*takes pills* wait why am i still not okay with living in a system that's openly hostile to human life and happiness? must be a real bad illness, huh

[fierceawakening]

...my dude, do you seriously think those of us who take meds don't realize society sucks? cos i'm getting so sick of posts like this. i didn't need the prozac so i could ignore this shit, i needed it so i could not die from it

[fierceawakening]

“i don’t take meds because none of them work for me” = cool

“i don’t take meds because i’m leery of the system” = eh, but you do you, friendo

“i don’t take meds because i have bodily autonomy and that’s all you need to know” = fuck yeah you go

“i don’t take meds because i am not a sheeple, unlike people who choose differently” = fuck off all the way to mars

[newhologram]

Agreed, it’s a weird take. I am considered treatment-resistant. Depression, anxiety, PTSD, even my chronic pain. Been on so many different meds and tried so many different “conventional” routes. This is the only reason I was given the okay to finally try ketamine infusion therapy. But this doesn’t make me not aware of or not directly experiencing how shitty things are, especially right now? Just stabilizes me so I don’t kill myself bc I lost the capacity to cope. We do still need to keep fighting to make things better in society but I can’t do that if I die bc it gets to me first.

[klinger4yossarian-deactivated20]

If a global socialist utopia started tomorrow, I’d still need meds to not have serious, debilitating mental health bullshit, constant exhaustion, and physical pain. Like, both is good, but meds helped me get to a point where my life is usually worth living even under capitalism.

I couldn’t figure out how to report on mobile, so I think you have to open it in desktop view, and the option will be on the left.

Seriously, report things like this if you see them. Lives are literally on the line. This shop already has hundreds of sales

PLEASE report these shops and others like them. These are just a few of MANY people profiting from a pandemic by deliberately endangering countless lives

If you’re having trouble with what to write in the report, I’ve been using something like “This shop includes sheer/mesh face masks which don’t meet safety standards for slowing the spread of disease. Selling these during a global pandemic puts lives at risk.”

[tired-disabled-and-in-pain]

for those (like me) who are nervous about selecting the right options on the drop down under the reporting tab, i chose “they sell items that don’t meet etsy’s policies” from the drop down and “prohibited or uses prohibited materials” from the list.

happy reporting!
