I just figured out the password to this account and I’m just curious if anyone is out there. Is tumblr dead? Did I miss the funeral?

I can literally only get into art schools with my gpa and I’m horrible at art excluding writing and I can’t go to college for creative writing a) because my parents wont let me and (b) creative writing is something I think you have to work on by yourself this is frustrating I am going to become a homeless person and live on the streets by the time im 25 im calling it now

Tomorrow I have to perform a skit in front of my entire English class and I’m getting so anxious just thinking about it. Last year when I gave a presentation in front of my AP World History class I was shaking so badly that I dropped the paper I was reading off of. I really want to tell my English teacher that I have this giant fear of speaking in front of large quantities of people but I’m afraid he will not give me an alternate assignment or something like that. I’m honestly so stressed out I don’t want to let my group down by not showing up but I don’t think I’ll be able to talk in front of the class without my voice and body shaking feverishly

I tried explaining to my friend and venting and she kept saying how adorable it was that I was scared of speaking in front of people and I feel like that just made it 100% worse I'm literally about to faint omfg

These are the shitty pictures I took at a not so shitty record store

So I was hoping to have the family shit stay as private as possible, but my mom requested that I do this so.

My cousin, melbruja​/Josh, has been taken to a “reform” school called Midwest Academy thanks to his violently homophobic mom. Josh is 15, gay, and one of the best cousins I’ve could ever have.

Midwest Academy, located in Iowa, is a school that’s been previously affiliated with the WWASP, a horrible organization that tries to continue conversion “therapy” for young LGBTA kids and teens sent in by their parents. Midwest and the WWASP is so horrible, that there is a website dedicated to those who have been sent there and escaped. 

As some of my followers may know, I have been trying to raise awareness for California State Bill-1172, that makes treating gay children with “gay reparative therapy” illegal for therapists in Ca. It is not clear about parents who choose this type of therapy out of state.

The most frustrating part of this whole thing is that we can’t contact him. Every letter, email, and package that someone could try and send to him has to be screened by his mom, where she could edit or take away parts of a letter/email/package, and the same can happen if Josh tries to send anything out to his friends or family. 

Most of my family have tried to help him out so that he wouldn’t get sent away to the “reform” school. But after a not-successful attempt at a temporary emergency guardianship change, the scheduled hearing did not proceed due to technical details (filed in county other than the county currently holding custody order for my cousin due to his parent’s divorce) his mom took him and his brother and left the state, trying to circumvent the law even though his mom is on probation (presumably she had permission from her probation officer). Since then I’ve been contacting my cousin’s friends through tumblr, and the only word we got from him was learning that he called his friends through his mom’s phone. That’s all we’ve heard from him since his mom took him away a little over a month ago (as of September 4th).   

All we can do for now is to publicize his plight with this hashtag:

#SaveJoshuaBruno

We need to save Josh. He’s a good kid with no problems. The only “problem” that he has is that he’s gay.

Not much has been put into the tag itself, since it’s just myself and my cousin’s friends on Twitter filling it. That’s why I need you to make it explode. I need you to talk about why sending children to reform schools is wrong, or talk about a personal experience that you or someone else might have had relating to these horrible institutions. 

Help us bring attention to this so that we can expose the school that Josh has been sent to. It’s the best current option that my family has in getting him back.

TLDR: My gay cousin Josh has been taken to a reform school by his mom. My family and I are trying to get him back, and we need your help to expose the reform school he’s been sent to.

Today a boy told me I had nice thighs and I couldn't think of anything quickly to reply with about how you shouldn't say that to people so I just said I know

I don't think I've ever heard of a girl being Anti-Feminist

Okay, I have at least thirty messages calling me a piece of shit and telling me that I’m privileged and how it’s a shame I’m a fan of James. I am NOT Anti-Feminist. I have been raised around the ideals of feminism my whole life, every woman in my family is a strong powerful woman who have jobs where they are positioned above men who (to my knowledge) have never experienced social injustice for being female. It’s the norm for me. It’s all I’ve ever known and putting a label on something I’ve known my whole life seems weird to me. I feel like it shouldn’t be a whole big movement because I feel like it should be the norm for everyone. Maybe it’s because I’ve never been oppressed for something because of my gender, maybe I’m privileged. I don’t see the big fuss about telling me that I haven’t experienced sexist attitudes or any sexist actions,because I thought that was the point of Feminism to make it a normal thing to not be oppressed for being female.

[fratty-franco]

I just found this and I’m honestly so amazed I used to think like this. This wasn’t even a full two years ago and I’ve completely changed the way I look at things. I can’t believe that I used to think Feminism was just for women. I can’t believe I thought that just because I personally had never experienced any injustices for being a woman that it meant other women in different situations didn’t. I especially can’t believe I used to think that Feminism was only for cis white women. (that’s not mentioned in the above post although it was a huge part of my thought process.) I was only concerned about myself and my middle class white privileges. As I assume many teenagers similar to me are, but as someone who is extremely interested in politics and the issues going on in the world I am completely ashamed of how I used to think. I am so thankful that in the time since this I have grown and expanded my knowledge on other people’s situations and lives. Realizing that just because something does not personally affect me does not mean it doesn’t affect others. I also found a post where I said that I hated how there was a thing going around the internet saying that only real women had curves and I responded by saying that all you needed to be a woman was a ‘natural born vagina’ and I just really want to apologize for uneducated ignorance and I can’t believe that I used to be like that and thought it was okay to post something like that on the internet where thousands of people could see it.

Re-visiting these posts has given me a new view on people I label as ignorant. They’re just uneducated. All you can do is your best to provide them with proper information. You cannot force them to change their views on the spot but over time hopefully they will come to the realization they were incorrect and put their pride aside and correct themselves. I am aware a lot of people already know this but I guess it took my own past mistakes to learn this.

This may seem completely out of the blue but I’ve been thinking about these posts a lot recently and I just want to apologize for being an ignorant trash fifteen year old and not taking the time to educate myself about topics I knew very little about.
