life is just a change in season

Lucy, 18. Not a dedicated fangirl of much, but I like lots of things, and I have a head for remembering stuff. love cooking, reading, playing violin, I should draw more, should read more poetry and listen to more music. I basically reblog what I like. just an ordinary person, I won't get offended unless you're a douche towards others I believe in love but I'm not sure I believe in permanence

Terrorism lies in the eyes of the beholder… 1. Mass Murderer Terrorist Dylann Roof kills nine unarmed Black worshippers because he can. 2. Civilian Terrorist George Zimmerman, slayer of unarmed Trayvon Martin. 3. Police Terrorist Darren Wilson, murderer of unarmed Michael Brown… 4. North Charleston Police Terrorist Michael Slager who gunned down unarmed Walter Scott. 5. Police Terrorist Matthew Kenny who slaughtered unarmed Tony Robinson Jr. 6. Civilian Terrorist Craig Stephen Hicks, shot three unarmed Muslim students in the head at Chapel Hill. 7. Police Terrorist Dante Servin  murdered unarmed Reika Boyd because it pleased him to do so… 8. Police Terrorist Sargent Mourad Mourad and fellow Terrorist Officer Jovaniel Cordova took the life of sixteen year old Kimani Gray because they knew that their wouldn’t be any repercussions or consequences… 09. NYPD Terrorist Officer Daniel Pantaleo who applied a homicidal chokehold on unarmed Eric Garner, because he could… http://justiceorelse.com/

OK Highway Patrol Captain George Brown says the best “tip” for women to not get raped by a cop is to “follow the law in the first place so you don’t get pulled over.” http://youtu.be/BO8g8akPWcY (Last third of the video).

Three serial rapists in 3 weeks arrested in Oklahoma, all cops.

Pro tip: if you’re signaled to pull over (whether you’re male or female) and you’re in a place that has no witnesses, turn your hazard lights on to acknowledge the officer’s siren, and drive to the nearest gas station or populated area. This is accepted protocol by every agency. You are not obligated pull over until you can do so safely. This includes personal safety. Understand your rights, brothers and sisters. There are disgusting examples of authority in this world.

[datiek]

HAZARD LIGHTS ARE NOT AN ACCEPTABLE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. IT IS NOT ACCEPTED PROTOCOL BY EVERY AGENCY. DO NOT JUST CONTINUE DRIVING WITH YOUR HAZARD LIGHTS IN CASE THE COP MIGHT THINK IT’S A LOW-SPEED CHASE.

I know that sounds dumb, but hear me out. My mother is a dispatcher for the local police station. I asked her about how to pull over for a cop and even brought up the use of hazard lights, and she told me that it is not always accepted. This is what she told me you can do in order to feel safe when pulling over:

Call the police. No, really. Call and tell the dispatcher where you are and that there is a cop behind you demanding you pull over. The dispatcher can and will stay on the line with you while they look up the area you’re in to see if it’s one of their station’s cops. Then, once the cop comes to your window, you can crack it open (it only has to be an inch!) while still on the phone with the dispatcher. This is definitely, 100% accepted protocol.

The dispatcher will verify that it is their own, real cop, and they will gladly stay on the line with you throughout your interaction with the officer. And God forbid this ever happens to any of you, but if something were to happen to you during this time, you’ve already contacted 911 and given your location to the dispatcher.

Please keep this in mind if you are ever requested to pull over and do not feel safe. The dispatcher will understand. Do not, however, continue to drive, because there might be the off-chance an officer will think you’re flat-out refusing to pull over (a well-lit, populated area might be a ways away).

Stay safe.

Signal boost.

Because I personally know some creepy ass mother fuckers who became cops because they’re demented psychopaths and they get off on having control over people.

[inksharktrash]

In light of current bullshit, this might be a good idea for a LOT of people, not just women. Marginalized minorities of all stripes, take note. I hate taking up an emergency dispatcher’s resources, but i also hate seeing yet another fucked up news story about police harming citizens.

[itsraviolibitch]

what's divacup?? how would you rate it??

This is a divacup 

AND U SHOVE IT UP YOUR VAGINA TO COLLECT MENSTRUAL FLUID

HOLY HELL LEMME TALK ABOUT THIS LITTLE GEM OF A SILICON CUP

U CAN WEAR IT FOR 12 HOURS AT A TIME UNLIKE TAMPONS. DO U KNOW HOW GREAT THAT IS? I THOUGHT I HAD A HEAVY FLOW BECAUSE I HAD TO CHANGE SUPER TAMPONS LIKE EVERY HOUR BUT THIS LITTLE FUCKER!!!! THIS LITTLE FUCKER RIGHT HERE!! I ONLY NEED TO CHANGE IT TWICE A DAY. U CAN WEAR IT TO BED, U CAN WEAR IT SWIMMING, U CAN WEAR UR FAVOURITE BABY PINK HIGH WAISTED AMERICAN APPAREL SHORTS WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT DESTROYING THEM WITH THE BLOOD OF UR SHEDDING ORGANS

WHEN U PUT IT IN CORRECTLY IT CREATES A SEAL INSIDE YOUR VAGINA SO IT DOES NOT LEAK IT’S FUCKING INCREDIBLE

YEAH UPFRONT IT’S A LITTLE PRICEY, THE STARTING PRICE BEING ABOUT 40 DOLLARS BUT TAMPONS AND PADS CAN ADD UP TO LIKE 30 BUCKS A MONTH! A MONTH!! THIS LIL DOOHICKEY CAN LAST U FUCKING YEARS 

“But it’s gross to collect your period blood” WRONG, PERIOD BLOOD IS SUPER CLEAN! IT HAS TO BE BECAUSE IT’S MEANT TO NOURISH A GROWING FETUS! THAT’S A COULD BE PERSON. PERIOD BLOOD ONLY SMELLS IF IT GETS IN CONTACT TO OXYGEN, WHICH IS WHY U GET A BLOODY SCENT IF YOURE WEARING PADS OR TAMPONS, BUT NO SMELL WITH THIS LOVELY JELLY SQUISH CUP.

I don’t get periods, but here’s some worthyass information to pass along to those who do!

That third comment tho…..

[thatdiabolicalfeminist]

Our culture really romanticises the idea of a brooding misunderstood loner who’s an asshole to everyone but secretly has a heart of gold, so it’s frighteningly easy to meet a guy who treats everyone around him badly and believe without evidence that he has a heart of gold. 

Don’t fall for it.

And a lapse in cruelty is not evidence of kindness.

“A lapse in cruelty is not evidence of kindness” Bolded because that line is so incredibly important

LGBT+ selfie month: June 21st, Pansexual

Pansexual - A person who’s sexual attraction does not depend on gender

Second selfie of the month! I called myself bisexual for a while when I was 17, but even then I knew the label didn’t quite fit me. It wasn’t that I liked both men and women, it was that gender didn’t matter to me when it came to who I found attractive. When I found the term pansexual it sort of just felt right. I know there’s a lot of similarities, but I definitely feel pansexual describes my sexual orientation the best.

Happy Blackout Day my brothers and sisters! 🍫

ferguson happened, baltimore happened, mckinney happened, the dominican republic happened, charleston happened, all within the last year and people are still denying the existence of antiblack racism

This is serious business, because this is a large part of how sexism, racism, homophobia, rape culture, ethnocentrism, etc. continue to happen.

Goldman Sachs has officially announced that it will cap interns’ days at 17 hours, meaning interns are encouraged to go home by midnight and not arrive before 7 a.m. At the beginning of June, Goldman Sachs took on around 2,900 summer interns.

The announcement comes shortly after Bank of America Merrill Lynch intern Moritz Erhardt, 21, was found dead in his shower after working for 72 hours straight. According to an autopsy, Erhardt died from epileptic seizures that could have been triggered by all-nighters.

“Only” 17 hours…

Reblog if you think it's important to learn about asexuality in sex education

[heylookitsarevolution]

**BLACK TUMBLR WARNING**

A very racist and disgusting blog is submitting racist pictures to black blogs, I’m not sure if it is a lot of people, I am the only person I know of so far.  They submitted one picture of Michael Brown to me, I ignored them, and they sent another picture.  

DO.NOT.GO. to their page.  Their avi is of a lynched black man and the last blog post is an closeup picture of a SEVERELY mutilated black man’s penis.  It can be supremely triggering.  I think they are harassing other users.

The blog is lynching-n***ers (there are no asterisks I just really hate that word).

Please block and report them.  It’s been a rough week for all of us, I want all of you to be safe.  Please share this so others will know.  Thank you.

also an addendum to the hunger games slide, when they put out a casting call for the role of Katniss, they specifically asked for only caucasian actors to audition, which left out any possibility for any amazing PoC actors to have been discovered.

i hope this was informational and i didnt leave anything major out. if anything is wrong or needs to be updated, message me and i’l fix any fallacies!

we actually have to educate white people why black face is offensive smh…. this should be common fucking sense
