[dreamotopy]

no amount of apologies could ever make up for the insecurities you've emplanted in me

[dreamotopy]

as someone who's been mocked her whole life for being 'too quiet', I just want to put this out: there's nothing wrong with being quiet. it's okay if you enjoy your company and others make you feel anxious. it's okay if words don't come easily to you. it's okay if sitting in the back is where you feel the most comfortable. it's okay if you don't want to get out of the house and have to interact with people. it's okay to skip out on events because social interactions tire you out. it's okay to make choices by putting yourself first. don't let anyone make you feel bad for wanting to be happy.

[dreamotopy]

I'm slowly working on getting my confidence back and to be a better person. For everyone who's struggling with the same, please don't be too hard on yourself. Take it step by step, you'll get there one day. I'm always here if any one of you wants to talk ❤️

[ssparksfly]

there’s one particular point in taylor’s article that i don’t see a lot of people talking about, but i think is really important

she says during the 1989 era, when she was surrounded by friends, she got so caught up in the thrill of finally being accepted that she flaunted it, took her friends everywhere, and posted about them all the time. and then she realised that seeing other people flaunt their friendships was the same thing that made her feel so alone for so long, and she stopped, because she didn’t want anybody – meaning her young, impressionable fans who love her more than anything – to feel like she did.

taylor is so compassionate and considerate of others and she doesn’t need to be. i literally can’t think of any other artist who would even think about something like that. i’m in awe of her.

[fiercefatfeminist]

It is our duty as feminists to protect and respect women in Hijabs

[fiercefatfeminist]

Now. More. Than. Ever.

[princeoftheplayground]

Question: if I see someone pull off a Hijab, what should I do? I know there are reasons they are worn so I want to if i should stand in between them and who did this, should i protect them from view somehow, or something else? This has been happening a lot so I feel it’s something everyone needs to know.

[protectnevillelongbottom]

Good question! I cannot correctly and effectively answer, as I am a white, non-Muslim person; however, I will reblog in case any of my followers can answer. 

[inquisitivespirit]

I asked my Hijabi friend, so here’s one Hijabi’s answer: 

“my opinion is, definitely try cover them or give them something to cover themselves with. And perhaps shoo off the person, without putting oneself in danger! God forbid, if that happened to me, I would like someone to come and comfort me and give me something to cover my hair with and then help me report it to the cops “

[animatedamerican]

(Followers, if any of you are hijabi and would like to expand on this answer or offer alternatives, please do.)

[scifibi77-deactivated20190412]

If u see it happen to 1 of us, pls cover our head + hair with a coat or shawl or any piece of cloth, while hugging us in comfort. Please don’t get hurt by lashing out @ the perpetrators in any way, coz if they dare to do that, they’re probably too far gone in their own hatred to listen to any reason. Much love + Thank You to anyone who supports us.

[meanieyards]

yes !! everything said here is important af. if you see someone pull off a girl’s hijab immediately cover her hair and provide comfort. don’t talk to the perpetrator but try to get the woman out of there if you can. maybe if you have a scarf on you at the time give it to her so she can wear it until she’s alone and can replace her hijab. please please protect muslim girls because we already had it hard before donald trump became president and now its gonna be worse with people going around thinking their violence and cruelty is justified 

[hollowedskin]

for my other white ppl who might have a hard time, it’s my understanding that a hijab is like a major item of clothing, not an accessory like a hat or a scarf. so think abt it more like if someone just ripped someone’s shirt or skirt off. u don’t want to be left there exposed or have to walk home without it.

everyone, even outside America needs to protect our Muslim sisters in these times.

[quadriparesis-deactivated201908]

as a man, what would be the best thing to do? should i turn my head and avoid looking at their hair? can i still offer a jacket or something similar?

[wear-it-like-armour-bastard]

^I’m hoping someone has an answer islamaphpbia is on the rise in my town and I want to be a good male non Muslim ally

[soul-angelos-deactivated2023102]

For men, yes please, we would prefer it if you avoided looking at our hair, and if we don’t have something to substitute as a hijab at that moment, anything you could lend us, a jacket, etc, would be very appreciated.

Also, since most girls avoid physical contact with men they’re not related to, please do not hug them, but rather shoo the offender away if you can, or at least escort the girl to a safe place. You can still offer words of encouragement and support. Furthermore, understand that the victim may not be very welcoming towards you because she’ll obviously be shaken, and won’t know where you are coming from. If that’s the case, please still give her something to cover herself (hijab is very important, think of it as someone ripping your shirt off) and stand some distance away until you are sure she’s in safe hands.

Thank you so much for your support, we really appreciate it, god bless all of you.

[harpomarxs]

• Use the hand you write with.

• Make a fist with your thumb outside, not tucked inside. If it’s tucked inside your fist, when you punch someone, you might break your thumb. The thumb goes across your fingers, not on the side.

• Don’t be like in the movies—don’t aim for the face. Face punches don’t usually stop people, and you can miss when they duck their head or break your hand on their jaw. If you want to get away quickly, or end a fight, aim for the chest, or the ribs. If you really want to do some damage, e.g., you’re being attacked, aim for the throat, which will make it hard for your attacker to breathe for a hot minute.

• When you punch, you want to aim and hit with your first two knuckles. Not the flats of your fingers, and not your ring or pinky knuckles, which can break more easily. You can use your weight, if you’re on your feet, to add wallop, and spring into a punch with your feet and torso.

[asinheavenasinhell-deactivated2]

Useful information, esp. if you haven’t taken self defense.

[fatallyblonde]

I reblogged this once before to add this and I’ll do it again…

keep your wrist straight.

You can also risk breaking your wrist if you allow it to bend.  I actually can’t believe this isn’t in there.

[fullofbeansandspunk]

Other good pointers:

if your attacker is male, go for his junk - especially if he’s wearing loose pants. There’s no sportsmanship when it comes to assault so fuck them balls UP

punching pretty much ANYWHERE in the face is going to actually hurt you a LOT (just think - you’re punching your bones into their bones and ow). If you’re going for the face, my suggestion is to strick upwards with your palm.

see that meaty portion highlighted in red? There’s a lot of muscle and fat right there which makes it excellent for striking. Hold your hand as shown and aim for the nose or chin (though I’ve been told in extreme circumstances, doing this to the nose can be fatal but I’ve never really heard if this is true or not) and just aim upwards

other delicate areas: 

the shin (hurts like a bitch if you kick it right - also, you can hit this spot if you’re being held in a choke-hold and if your attacker has to move in order to stop you from kicking him, he’ll have to angle his body so as to expose his stomach and crotch to the wild spastic jabbings of your elbows)

the solar plexus (either jab while holding your hand in a sort of spear position or use your elbows - unless you’re super strong, your punch probably won’t wind your attacker. Your elbow or a spear hand will, however)

Originally in (most) martial arts, you hit the solar plexus because it supposedly contained an important chakra. Now we know that it actually also contains like a bunch of necessary organs that are exposed just below your ribs and is also (roughly) where your diaphragm lives so getting punched there is not pleasant.

the clavicle (from experience, getting hit in your clavicle HURTS LIKE A MOTHERFUCKER. If you strike downwards with your knuckles, the person might just cry. Like I did.)

the ear (this is probably the best place to punch besides the throat. It’s all cartilage so it probably won’t hurt you all that much and most people will be like “DUDE YOU PUNCHED ME IN THE EAR WHAT THE HELL”)

the kidneys (this is harder to hit without training but if you somehow get your attacker’s back to face you, try to hit’em in the kidneys. Again, from experience, this FUCKING HURTS. You can’t really hit the kidneys from the front with any effect but from the back it is super painful)

if you’re held in a choke-hold, try turning your head so the forearm isn’t pressed into your throat. If you can position yourself right, you can sort of force your chin into the crook of the elbow, making you able to still receive (limited) oxygen and provide time for you to kick some shins or elbow some spleens and shit

[nautilidi-deactivated20130605]

-Also, remember that a guy’s junk is not an off-button. Don’t think that you can rely on a swift kick to the balls to immediately incapacitate him in an emergency. Adrenaline and anger can keep somebody going for a long time even through extreme pain, and if you expect to end a fight with a single groin-attack you might be caught off-guard when he doesn’t drop. Certainly go for it if you get the chance, but keep hitting him until the fight is over.

-Draw blood if you can, especially if you can draw it from the face or the eyes. Blood in the eyes is not just a good way to impair your attacker’s vision, it’s also a really good way to freak them out and let them know that they might be getting more than they bargained for by picking a fight with you.

-Elbows and knees are really powerful weapons. Elbows are very sharp and very strong and if you are in close-range they are often more effective than trying to throw a punch. 

-Yelling and shouting makes you scary. 

[ramblinprose]

Nothing much to add to this, it’s pretty much all there. So. Reblog. Oh, also, it’s really easy to break a nose - go for the eyes too. All it takes to avoid a shot to the throat is tucking your chin. Also, that part about the ear - don’t punch. An open hand over the ear hurts a lot.

Tumblr teaching me how to fuck a bitch up

[smeliot-deactivated20220528]

Also if you fuck up their face it’ll be easier for police to identify the attacker.

If someone gets you from behind and you cant punch them, go for the underside of the upper-arm. A bad pinch there is legit so painful because that skin is super sensitive. Also this cant be stressed enough, if the attacker is a guy then fucking rip his junk off.

[milkfond]

When throwing a punch:

[heldpeach-blog]

useful in more ways than 3

[divagonzo]

Also, this can’t be stressed enough, if the attacker is a guy then fucking rip his junk off.

When you do, use torsion. Yank and twist. Torsion (twisting) can severely damage sensitive and delicate blood vessels that would require immediate emergency care if they decide that they want to keep those precious orbs.

Get police help immediately - and when he shows up at an E/R (or A&E)… boom. Caught.

Peoples…. This isn’t Marquis of Queensbury rules. It’s a fight to the death (and pain) - so fight so nasty that no one will f* with you ever again.

Normal people: “everything happens for a reason”

Taylor swift, an intellectual: “without your past, you could never have arrived- so wondrously and brutally, by design or some violent, exquisite happenstance …here.”

[taylorsvift]

You dance [at award shows], are you self conscious about it all?  ’Cause it looks like you’re just having the time of your life.

[broswiftie]

ummm… not to be loud or anything, but tim mcgraw and faith hill were one of the reasons as to why taylor and her family took the leap and moved to nashville to pursue taylor’s music career… flash forward to taylor opening up for the both of them on tour to taylor bringing them out as special guests on her own stadium tour… in nashville… i need a minute!

[broswiftie]

“if someone uses name-calling to bully you on social media and even if a lot people jump on board with it, that doesn’t have to affect you. it can strengthen you instead.”

[yaushie]

so who else gets irrationally afraid and embarrassed about their interests being known to people in real life

[queenofattolia]

#i’m not embarrassed but#i hate the thought of having to guard what i love#and defend any of my interests to others#people are the worst i don’t want them to know me

[musicalhell]

I call this “residual anxiety from being bullied for everything that made me even slightly unusual every day in junior high.”

[ihearttaylorswift]

Remember when you watched the LWYMMD mv for the first time and every other second you were like „she just didn’t do that, right ?!!?!“

[alltheswift]

sometimes I think about the fact that one day taylor might have children and they’re going to have the kindest mom in the world. and they’ll come home from school crying about something and she’ll sit them down and pour them a bowl of her homemade chicken noodle soup and give them the cookies she just pulled out of the oven and she’ll give them a warm hug and tell them she loves them and she’s there for them always. and then she’ll take them on a drive around town and they’ll do all their favorite things together and blare the radio way to loud and go to the local pet shop to hold kittens and puppies. and then they’ll go home and she’ll let them stay up past their bedtime to watch their favorite movie and when it’s done she’ll carry them into their room. and tuck them in. and tell them everything is going to be alright. and they fall asleep with a smile on their face.
