I want you to remember:
The fascists hate you too and they just will pretend otherwise until after they've killed the rest of us, before they turn on you.
Thanks to whoever tried, but I knew they'd never allow it.
Let's do it the old fashioned way. Spread it far and wide.
I’ve never actually looked at the prices for dnd rulebooks and damn. Why.
ok as amazing as Twilight of Apprentice was how funny would it have been if Ahsoka was just beyond done with Anakin’s bullshit™ and just screamed “FUCK OFF SKYGUY” everytime she saw Vader
“The man you knew as Anakin Skywalker is de-”
“Cut the shit, Anakin, I know it’s you. You just flew in standing on top of your TIE fighter and there’s only one fucker in the galaxy who’s that extra”
Tbh, that would be even funnier to view through Kanan and Ezra’s eyes because despite being the main characters in Rebels, they are total outsiders in all of this drama going on in Twilight of the Apprentice.
The whole Ahsoka/Vader debacle, Darth Maul even being a thing, all of that mess until now has been a shitshow uniquely confined to the Jinn-Kenobi-Skywalker-Tano line, and to see Kanan and Ezra watching Ahsoka, Vader, and Maul all in one place shrieking at each other— Obi Wan’s name gets dropped and the shrieking gets notably louder and more violent —about random shit from twenty years ago and just looking at each other like “I have exactly no clue what is going on right now or what we missed and tbh I don’t wanna know…”
The fact that it’s also MACE WINDU’s line of all lines being forced to witness this nonsense is just icing on the cake

did cinderella ever talk to her man about his faceblindness
#‘i met the perfect woman but it was a special occasion’#‘so now wherever she is her makeup and hair are probably different’#‘this is my nightmare’
rip prince charming, who had to let the whole kingdom make jokes about his foot fetish for the rest of his life because every blonde with an updo looks basically the same as far as he can tell
they call him prince charming because he’s always really polite to strangers to cover for the fact that he doesn’t know if he’s supposed to recognize them from somewhere and when you’re a prince that shit starts wars
Okay but… this really inspired me, because wouldn’t it solve like 90% of the problems of Cinderella if the prince was just blind? Like imagine this handsome, charming prince, who his entire life has relied on his senses of sound and touch to get around and has learnt to recognise people by the feel of their hands and the sound of their voice? As in the fairytale the king holds a ball to find him his wife, and the prince insists every maiden in the land to attend. The crueler guards joke that this is because he is desperate enough to marry even the poorest, “ugliest” girl in the land, but in reality the prince has never cared what others think of him, and extends that principal to his wife. And so as usual Cinderella shows up and he falls for her wonderful voice and the way she can conjure pictures with words, he loves her because she cares about him and ensures he can navigate the newly arranged ball room ( he usually has a guide dog but his father thinks that isn’t proper for parties ). But when the clock strikes midnight and Cinderella flees he feels despondent, he does not know her name, could not describe her face, and he is sure he will never see her again. Cinderella is heartbroken too, she had found a man so kind and good, who would not care about her looks or that she was a simple scullery maid. And so that is why he uses the shoe, it is all he had to go on, others laugh behind his back but he refuses to give up. When he visits Cinderella’s house he passes through quickly knowing immediately neither sister is right. But as he leaves he hears her voice, singing from the tallest tower and knows it is her. He races back and demands she try on the shoe and you know how the story goes. And so they wed and together they live happily because it was never her pretty face or her shoes that made him love her, but the way she spoke to him.
This is so pretty
Reblogging this again bc I love this addition
This won’t make your blog look ugly. How could you not reblog this? REBLOGGING THIS COULD SAVE A LIFE!!!
This goes for assholes, too, guys. I know a couple who went tubing once, and they had to re-air their tubes, but the guy thought it would be funny to stick the tip of the air compressor up to her bikini trunks, the air ruptured something inside her and she died within thirty minutes.
WHAT?
The thing about this? It’s in every pregnancy book I’ve read.
WHAT?????
Why is it in pregnancy books but not sex ed books?
Because the men in charge only care about the health and safety of women in so far as it enables them to have babies.
https://www.healthline.com/health/air-embolism#outlook
Reblogging with a link because I thought this was a legit joke. Never heard it before. Like I knew you could kill a person by inserting air into a vein but still.
WHAT THE FUCL I hate how I didn’t learn this in sex Ed AT ALL
This is very true lol
Yo what the f u c k
not the normal stuff i’d reblog but, uh, this is kinda??? heckin???? important?????
I feel like I first saw this in The Joy of Sex, but it’s definitely a thing.
What the fuck
i-
….thank you tumblr??
hm.
I legit thought this was a shitpost until I saw the rest of the comments
Um??? I’m reblogging this??? This can save a life??
Amity Blight everyone
I love this so much because I’ve never really seen young sapphic characters just gushing and acting awkward around their crushes. We’ve had other sapphic characters represented, like Catradora and Korrasami, but it’s never been this explicit from the very beginning and they were older characters. Like Amity’s acting exactly how it would be represented in a cartoon if she were crushing on a boy at this age and it’s not being treated any different. That’s so important, especially to young sapphic people who are watching the owl house who are being shown that this is okay, this is normal, this EXISTS.
I hardly see any heroic posts about Muslims on here, so here you go.
I love that it takes the time to specify that his attack of choice was a flying kick
The hero the world needs
I remember this. But I feel we’re missing some key points. When it happened, he was out jogging with his puppy:
He heard screams and sprinted towards them. He jumped a fence, saw a man pinning a woman down and immediately fly-kicked him in the face, knocking him out. He then gave the woman his jacket because her dress was ripped and got her a taxi home. She only managed to get in contact with him and tell the papers cause she later found his driver’s license in the pocket of the jacket.
“If I see a person in danger then I will intervene. I would not want to ignore it and then read the next day that a woman had been raped or murdered.”
And his message to the attacker:
“He is a coward and a man with no morals. I won’t forget his face.”
Glaswegians will always fly kick someone I swear. Good on him.
Something else I love about this is that they’re calling the rapist a “beast” because that is an appropriate word to use for someone who would do something that horrible instead of showing him any form of sympathy or humanizing him
What a lad
“i wont forget his face” is such a badass thing to say
easy to remember a face that has your sneaker tread permanently imprinted in it
au where when darth vader declares that he’s Luke’s father Luke comes to the (entirely reasonable) conclusion that darth vader and anakin skywalker were married
“How could you kill your HUSBAND?!” and Luke gets away with his hand because Anakin’s too confused trying to figure out when he and Obi Wan got married and why he’s only learning about it now
One of the baristas at a nearby Starbucks makes me lose my mind every time I’m working there by saying things that are not outside the spectrum of normal human words but are just slightly off-the-wall.
Barista: Welcome to Starbucks, home of delicious, what deliciousness can I put in motion for you today?
Customer: … Can I get a trenta pink drink please?
Barista: Go big or go home, we here at Starbucks appreciate your commitment, what else can I get started for you?
***
Customer: Nitro cold brew with shots of espresso please.
Barista: Brave of you to commit to staying awake for three days, anything else today?
***
Barista: *slams open drive-thru window* HI HOW ARE YOU?
Customer: …I’m pretty good.
Barista: Are you ready to be even better? Because you’re about to be. *hands them their coffee*
***
Barista, realizing that a drink was made wrong: *slams open window* SO how do you feel about surprises?
Customer: ….they’re okay.
Barista: Great because I’m about to give you one.
***
Barista: You have two drinks so I am going to hand you two straws which means, FANTASTIC news, these straws double as drumsticks. / You have one drink so I am going to hand you one straw and, promise not to tell anyone, this straw doubles as a magic wand.
***
Barista: Here are those cake pops, I plucked them fresh from the tree myself.
***
Barista: *slams open window, holding drink* Amazing, fantastic, delicious, you are a very lucky man/woman!
***
Barista, realizing drink is being delayed or remade: Looks like it’s gonna be just one minute so they have time to put the extra love in.
***
Barista: I’ll be with you in one hot second. *beat* WOW that second sure was hot!
Anyway she has a few dozen catchphrases she rotates appropriately and it’s both distracting and fantastic to listen.
She sounds like a fuckin riot and I want to tell her she’s doing amazing
Some dude in 2020: You should not judge a historical figure, a man from the past, by the modern ethics! He was a product of his time. 500 years ago his actions were completely normal! It’s present-ism, we can’t judge… bla-bla-bla…
People from 500 years ago: Oh my, this guy is such a bastard, a genocidal butcher, a total piece of garbage. Let’s keep records of this douche so people from the future shall hate him too.
Columbus’s crew were writing about what a genocidal monster he was. There were mutinies and uprisings by his crews and colonists constantly. If his contemporaries were willing to risk the ire of the queen of Spain to oppose him, we have every right to call him out on it too.
My fave professor always says “there have always been antiracist people doing antiracist work”. So yeah, I can hold historical peeps to a higher standard because there were good, ethical people who knew better
Saying “you can’t judge the founding fathers on slavery” because “they didn’t know any better” or “that’s just how it was back then” is a cop out. It’s a standard whitewash that is still used to excuse racists today.
And I can promise you that there absolutely positively were people back then who knew slavery was wrong, and voiced their opinion that slavery was evil. Starting with the slaves themselves.
And if the words of the slaves somehow isn’t good enough, then listen to what one of the founding fathers had to say about the evils of slavery: (x)
Saying people didn’t know any better is whitewashing history, and perpetuating a false image of white purity and innocence. Slavers knew exactly what they were doing. All in the name of free labor and profit. The exploitive nature of capitalism hasn’t changed very much. I’ll bet 100 years from now people will argue that Jeff Bezos didn’t know he was risking the lives of his employees in the middle of a pandemic. Because “times were different back then.”
So yeah, people who insist that “times were just different back then” are racism apologists, whether they realize it or not. That worn out excuse is as old as slavery itself. Call those fuckers out.
There have always been people working for the rights and dignity of the marginalized, yes. It’s important to remember that historical people are not a monolith of evil. But that’s not a rebuttal to “they were a product of their time”, because the “product of their time” line is about the Overton window of practices at any given time, not about whether every single individual practiced any given thing.
For example, while in 2020 there are many people aware of the abuses in sweatshops, and many brands that make a conscious effort to avoid sweatshop manufacturing, it’s still socially acceptable to support brands known to use sweatshop labor. Wearing a shirt with with a “made in Vietnam” tag won’t get you booed and shunned. This is what “product of their time” means: not that there weren’t people opposing any given atrocity, but that said atrocity was normalized to an extent that it became background noise.
When your social milieu – not activists, but the actual people and institutions you engage with on a daily basis – doesn’t recognize something as wrong, it’s extremely difficult to transcend that. You’re a fish in water. Every single one of us reading this in 2020 is doing something that future generations will consider abhorrent. Dismissing the idea of being a product of your time means that you’ll be less capable of recognizing that. Historical people are not fundamentally different from any of us.
“But that’s not a rebuttal to “they were a product of their time”, because the “product of their time” line is about the Overton window of practices at any given time, not about whether every single individual practiced any given thing.”
This. I wasn’t sure gay couples should be parents when I was a teenager.
Why in the world did I think that? I don’t know. (Probably just because I don’t want to be a parent.)
Should I have thought that? No.
Was it particularly odd of me to have thought it? Not at the time.
Slavekeepers were a product of their time, and so were abolitionists, and so were slaves who had the cruelty of slavery thrown in their faces and otherwise beaten into them day in and day out, and so were quite a lot of people for whom slavery was a vaguely distasteful but faraway thing, and people for whom the slavery of other, darker-skinned people was a comforting barrier between their poverty and the absolute bottom of the human status ladder, and people who could recognize cruelty when they saw it but could file it away or rationalize it or champion it or connect the dots between it and their own lifestyle and learn to shut up about it or connect the dots between it and their own lifestyle and decide that their own lifestyle had to go.
Always the choice between what is right and what is easy muddles the figuring out of what is right, and there will always be people who decide to define easy as right, and people who define right as right and may easy be damned.
If there’s some difficulty in judging historical people by our own standards, there’s always the option to judge them by their contemporary standards, which rarely holds a shortage of people dismayed that their fellows would stoop to that.
You know what, looking back on it, my friends and I survived the Bush Presidency
We would have survived a McCain Presidency
We would have survived a Romney Presidency
I honestly worry that there are some people who would not survive a Trump Presidency
I don’t care how much you love Gary Johnson, or Jill Stein. On November 8, 2016, one of two things will be true: either Hillary Clinton will be elected President, or Donald Trump will be elected President.
Which one, HONESTLY, would be worse?
This isn’t the year to “vote your conscience.”
There’s a fucking dangerous man one election away from being President.
This is the year to vote to survive.
Any other year, this would be an exaggeration. We survived Bush, we could have survived McCain or Romney. This year, Trump’s danger is no exaggeration.
Don’t vote your conscience, vote to survive.
We will not, not, NOT SURVIVE Trump.
The LGBT community will not survive.
The communities of middle eastern descent will not survive.
Women, especially women who want a right to choose, will not survive.
The black community will not survive.
The latino community will not survive.
The disabled community will not survive.
I guarantee that there are more groups.
We as a country will not survive a Trump-Pence Presidency
The poor will not survive
Please understand that Trump plans to not only do what the US did to Japanese Americans in WWII on a massive level with Mexicans and Muslims but also destroy the economy with it
Somehow this post is going around again and it’s appeared on my own dash and I still think Trump is going to kill us all. Y'all’s protest votes did nothing.
Hey look it’s my post from 2016
Now that it’s almost 2020, can you see that this wasn’t a fucking exaggeration
Do you understand now
This is going around again and now that we’re in the Democratic Primaries and y'all are already saying about how you’ll stay home if you’re favorite doesn’t win I’d just like to remind y'all that people are dying in the Trump administration
People are dying in concentration camps at the border
Trump rolled back Obamacare and now millions more people are without insurance
Trump is rolling back environmental regulations and climate change and pollution will kill us
States are banning abortion which will affect millions of poor women and women of color and SCOTUS night overturn Roe v Wade
Hate crimes against Jews and people of color and LGBT people are going up
There are Nazis in the White House and marching in the streets
And Trump has given tax cuts to billionaires and appointed judges that will take away your constitutional rights
Are you happy with your choice to vote third party? To stay home? Was it worth it? Was all of this worth it?
We’re facing the same choice again. We can’t have four more years of this.
Fight like hell for your candidate in the primaries. Then if and when they lose, get in line behind the winner.
We failed in 2016. The life and death stakes in 2020 are even higher.
Vote. For. Democrats.
The first sentiment in this post has gotten more literal as 2020 wears on.
I haven’t even updated this post to reflect the pandemic because I just
Tens of thousands of people are dead y'all. Obama and Biden had an entire infrastructure, a system to deal with pandemics and Trump abolished the office and ignored reports of the virus for months
When the curve of infections increases exponentially, even acting one day earlier could have saved thousands of lives
And Trump ignored it for months
Unemployment is now higher than at any time since the great depression
I knew people would die but I never imagined that Trump would be responsible for this many deaths and the worst economic disaster in a century
We have to vote for Biden. I don’t like Biden. I wanted someone progressive. Someone who didn’t sexually assault someone. But this is literally life and death.
(also Ruth Bader Ginsburg is 87 years old and has been hospitalized multiple times in the last year and we cannot allow Trump to appoint her replacement on the Supreme Court or continue giving lifetime appointments to judges to lower Federal courts)
This whole post y’all
Over 85,000 dead in the US from Coronavirus in the last four months.
You don’t have to like Biden to vote for him.
Vote AGAINST the one trying to pick our pockets before he drives us off a cliff.
The truly scary thing is, when I was reading the start of the post, I thought it was from this year. It was from 2016. And it has proven prescient. Trump has killed over a hundred thousand Americans thanks to his reaction to COVID-19 alone. He has put armed federal agents on the streets to kidnap citizens. He is acting increasingly like the fascist that we were worried he was.
Do not “vote your conscience” and don’t refuse to vote because you’re worried that Biden/Harris will be bad. Because we know Trump is evil and is destroying this nation. Pretending Biden/Harris is the “lesser evil” and thus you’re still voting for “evil” by voting for him is a Trump line used for voter suppression.
If you do not vote for Biden and Harris? You are voting for Trump and you approve of his policies. There is no if, there is no and, there is no but. You are supporting Trump’s fascist policies that have killed over a hundred thousand people in just a few months.
Abled gays celebrating marriage equality: well we sure do have nowhere to go from here when it comes to marriage rights. Gay rights!
Me, a disabled lesbian trying to get on ssi thinking about how I will not be able to marry my girlfriend if I do because I can't have more than $2000 to my name at a time and they count a spouse's income towards that: wow .. gay rights ...
Just wanna say if you fought for and support marriage equality for gay people its your responsibility to do the same for disabled people. Abled people can and should rb this
HOW AM I STILL PORN.
Still porn.
So there’s this huge dudebro in my class, who, yesterday, sat next to me. And I’m sitting there sweating because like… I’m wearing my shirt with the lesbian flag on it, and he’s the most popular jock in school, and always has this look on his face that say ‘I can and will kill you’. He looks me up and down, stares at me for a minute and then goes, “So. Girls in skirts and long socks, am I right?”
To which I nodded solemnly, both out of agreement, surprise and also a healthy amount of awkward fear. He nodded and went, “You get it.”
I said, “Yep.” He fistbumped me, and on went our lives.
Oh! I forgot to mention! I saw him at lunch the same day, and he ran up to me, tapped me on the shoulder, pointed at this super sweet girl who comes to GSA and asked if she’s gay. I told him he should ask her because that’s not my place and he said he would.
I thought that would be the end of it.
Except ten minutes later he came back and told me he found out (she’s bi) and that both of us have a shot. I said “You more than me.” because he’s attractive and popular.
But this wholesome dumbass looked really confused and asked, “Because I’m tall?’
So this isn’t lesbian/jock solidarity but I thought you guys would want to know-
My math teacher was trying to fix the rolling whiteboard and he just offhand said “This would be easier with a wrench”
And deadass, dudebro said “Hang on” and then proceeded to pull a fucking wrench out of his backpack
Update- after school today he saw me in the library and he didn’t say anything? He just pointed at the book he was holding and I gave him a thumbs up because it’s a pretty good book, and he went “Yes!” Really quiet and pumped his fist and then left
Okay so today he asked me if I know how to help people having a panic attack and I was like yeah? And he smiled at me and then went “cool I think I’m having one”
And I was like what the fuck Colin we’re in the middle of Tech class sit down and we went out in the hall and sat there for a while and he told me about the test he’s stressed about so we kind of went over his study guide and when he was feeling better he kind of like… smacked his head against mine gently? And I helped him up even though he’s almost a foot taller than me and yeah
Today at lunch we walked to the football field and laid in the grass and I told him thank you for being my friend (because I don’t have that many) and fistbumped me and said, “You always looked so nice and chill, how could I not want to be your friend?”
And honestly y’all, I would’ve started crying if he hadn’t sneezed and accidentally smacked me
