LGBT BRAZILIANS TAKE CARE WITH DATING APPS AND GRINDR, THEY WILL BE USED TO TARGET VICTIMS PLEASE SIGNAL BOOST

[edbangingrobot]

ALSO!!!!!!!!!!!!

In Whatsapp (the most used messaging app in Brazil), if you receive a contact from a “juridical support group for LGBT+ people who are being harassed” called “REAJA”, DO NOT INTERACT!!!!!!! Apparently, this is not a real support group but it’s a trap that are targeting LGBT+ people to physically harm them. They people behind “REAJA” have very malicious intentions.

Be careful and stay safe!!!!!!!

I received the contact of Reaja on sunday night. My friends and I thought it seemed pretty weird so we blocked it… We were right.

Her Name Is Kathryn: The Woman Who Accuses Ronaldo of Rape - SPIEGEL ONLINE - International

An American woman claims Cristiano Ronaldo raped her in Las Vegas. Years ago, the soccer star paid her to remain silent. Now, the woman is going public for the first time and filing a complaint against Ronaldo. She possesses a document that could be extremely dangerous for him. By DER SPIEGEL Staff

Her mother Cheryl, 66, remains behind, a diminutive woman with dark hair pulled up in a bun. She chooses her words carefully. “It’s never left her. Every day, she lives it,” she says. “There were times when she would call me and his – he would be on a billboard or whatever, and she would just completely disintegrate. Having to walk into a store to get a pint of milk, and you’ve got his picture everywhere. (…) He’s the soccer god that everybody thinks is just perfect and flawless. (…) And she can’t even get out of bed some days.” Cheryl Mayorga shakes her head. “It’s just wrong. We’re behind her 100 percent.”

I believe Kathryn Mayorga. Do you?

I know this is scooting very close to the “omg why is no one reblogging this” territory, but the fact how little waves this is making in the football fandom is honestly terrifying to me.

People here make social justice issues out of every single thing, from bad interview quotes to that time someone thought Pulisic was dating a Trump supporter (he wasn’t) to “is it racist to say you don’t want your club to promote inhumane regimes overseas?”

But now one of if not the most famous player of this sport gets accused of rape and there is almost nothing. This story has been out for days. It’s not some vague, easily dismissed “he said she said” situation.

One of the leading investigative newspapers of Europe has published an article making very credible claims that accuse him of rape. At least 20 people were involved with the fact-checking over multiple weeks, according to Spiegel. The victim herself and multiple family members are quoted verbatim, Her story matches the results of a rape kit taken at the time (which is quoted in the article) as well as the original police report (which Spiegel also posted), filed one day after the assault, where she accuses a world famous athlete of raping her but doesn’t want to disclose his name because she was scared of the repercussions. Photos exist of her with Ronaldo from the day of the rape. A forensic psychiatrist’s evaluation is quoted that  confirms she suffers from PTSD due to the rape.

Spiegel has, thanks to Football Leaks, papers proving that Ronaldo hired a team of “Reputation Specialists” that followed her and her family around in order to make her appear unstable and to dissuade her from pressing charges. Spiegel also has E-Mails from Ronaldo to his lawyer where freely admits she said “no” and told him to stop multiple times before and during the rape. 

Honestly this is the clearest and best researched rape accusation that I have ever come across. And I see so many fangirls on here keep posting Ronaldo pics and ignoring this because it’s inconvient for them when it’s their fave.

Here in Italy the atmosphere around this is DISGUSTING

PLEASE REBLOG THIS WARNING

HEY GUYS

The new Venom movie has a scene with intense flashing lights (the lab entry scene) and I received no warnings and had to leave (just for that scene) as I am epileptic!!! PLEASE share this since I’ve seen NO warnings being shared and this is very important and can prevent people from having seizures etc during the film.

[hammerfelll-deactivated20220522]

this is such a fucking power move

[say-duhnelle]

and the weirdest twist is that of all the people in the world, Tucker fucking Carlson is supporting this as well

[capacity]

Okay I’m scratching my head at this twist tbh

not to sound like a conservative local pastor but eight year olds should not be playing, like, call of duty even offline

[ratguzzler-deactivated20181213]

of course i dont think playing violent video game by itself is going to make a kid capable of and willing to commit murder because thats also dumb as shit but children shouldnt be exposed to the concepts of violence and death before they’re able to grasp the implications of it and what effect it can have on them and the way they view the world

[ratguzzler-deactivated20181213]

“sex is something we dont talk about but violence is just fine” is such a dangerous combination of attitudes

[geekandmisandry]

A bisexual can never be in a “heterosexual” relationship because they are not heterosexual. Bisexual people face a lot of aggression regardless of the gender of the person they are in a relationship with and calling it a heterosexual relationship is blatantly false and hateful, thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

Separation of young children, in fact any children, from their carer is child abuse, and I would love to see those who initiated and implemented this policy charged with this offence.

Hey white followers! Celtic culture is open to anyone who’s interested, and we have a term available to you: familiars. If you’re interested in Norse culture as well, my ancestors there called them folgyr, or followers. Remember how our ancestors suffered the death of a lot of their culture at the hands of christianization? Don’t inflict this upon a living culture. We can do so much better.

[series of tweets from Mari Nakawe (Objbew):

Dear NonNatives. Nothing is your spirit animal. Not a person, place or thing. Nothing is your spirit animal. You do not get one.

Spirit animals derive from Anishinaabe and other tribes deeply held religious believes. It is a sacred, beloved beloved process that is deeply secret.

You as a NonNative can say x is my spirit animal but as an Anishinaabe woman I hear “I’m an ignorant asshole.” There are better words.

If you want to say X is my spirit animal, don’t. Try “Patronus” or “Muse.” or “Inspiration”. NONE OF WHICH MISAPPROPRIATE A LIVING CULTURE.]

[iamatinyowl]

I choose to say it like “this this resounds with me spiritually” or like “I feel spiritually connected to this thing” it gets what I’m tryna say across without appropriating indigenous spiritual terminology

Here’s the whole video. It’s called “Don’t Be A Sucker” and it’s 17 minutes long.

[republicansareahategroup]

don’t just scroll past this actually watch it, it’s only 2 minutes long. If you re-recorded this today word for word with modern actors and places, it wouldn’t even look out of place as a PSA

[mediamattersforamerica]

Media portray these tales of perseverance as uplifting and inspirational. They’re actually horror stories.

These four examples all come from just the past five months, but there are countless additional articles and segments that share the same lessons about never giving up, going the extra mile, and taking care of others. The articles are framed to make you feel good, to illustrate the kindness of others, to show you that things can work out when tragedy hits, and yes, to “restore your faith in humanity.” These are excellent messages that we could probably all benefit from having in our lives, but there’s one thing that gets left out on an all-too-regular basis: the underlying causes.

hey guys friendly reminder from your fave Canadian that esk*mo is a slur so please don’t use it!

I see it usually in the context of “esk*mo kisses” which may pop up when people talk about their ships and their headcanon, but it means “snow eaters” in cree and is a slur against Inuit people so please just don’t use it!

and I would appreciate if u reblogged this because people outside Canada don’t seem to know this for the most part

[nanyangosaurus]

Also if you want to refer to ‘‘eskimo kisses’‘ and not use that term the Inuit term for it is ‘‘kunik’‘. It’s a traditional greeting usually between relatives or a child and an adult, although it’s a little different from nose kisses so most Canadians call it ‘‘Inuit kiss’‘ and I’ve heard other people call it ‘‘bunny kisses’’. Either way there’s no excuse to use ‘‘eskimo’‘ in this context or another.

Thanks for telling us Americans definitely have no idea, so it’s good information.
