Navigating through Landmines

@galaxieklipz

Most of you have been where I am tonight. The crash site of unrequited love. You ask yourself, How did I get here? What was it about? Was it her smile? Was it the way she crossed her legs, the turn of her ankle, the poignant vulnerability of her slender wrists? What are these elusive and ephemeral things that ignite passion in the human heart? That's an age-old question. It's perfect food for thought on a bright midsummer's night. ~ Sybil Adelman

Nothing is funnier to me than Mr Darcy telling his best friend not to propose to the girl he loves bc 1. Her family are unsuitable and 2. She doesn't truly like him enough to marry... only to then himself propose to a woman who is 1. From the exact same family and 2. Has done nothing but roast him since they met

Hey everyone, with all this discussion around Twilight happening lately, let’s take advantage of it by signal boosting an important issue.

For those who don’t know, the Quileute tribe used in Twilight is a real, actual tribe whose stories and traditions were stolen by Stephenie Meyer and butchered to suit her racist needs. You can read more about that here.

And now, they’re asking for help. Their tribal school, and several other important locations including housing, is in a massive tsunami risk zone. In 2012, they gained a lot of their traditional land back, and they’re finally able to move from highly dangerous areas to safer higher ground. But that sort of move is expensive and slow, so they’re accepting donations to make the transition happen as quickly as possible. The tribe has received federal funding to move the school, but that’s not the only location inside of the risk zone.

The Quileute people were treated terribly by both Meyer and her fans, and we can help make up for some of that damage by helping them now.

You can also follow the tribe’s Instagram and check out their Facebook.

When my Mum was pregnant with me she was in the pub and this random creepy elderly woman that nobody ever saw before or since told her that she was going to have a boy and when I was born everyone was like “the creepy lady was wrong” but it turned out I’m trans and THE PUB WITCH WAS RIGHT!

I WAS FORETOLD BY THE PUB WITCH
