i love my beautiful little cat @gore-girlfriend - Tumblr Blog

Look if a garment is like. Wool or silk. And it’s like, don’t put me in the fucking wash. I’m like yeah of course ma’am I shall lightly dab you with a damp cloth and air you out so you don’t get stinky. But when a polyester garment is like “hand wash only” I’m like who the FUCK do you think you are. You’re plastic. Get in the drum.

When you learn how to crochet/ knit or really any type of fiber arts, there will be a voice in your head that tells you that you should make something for everyone for the holidays.

Do not listen to that voice, for it is the devil.

This would have had me crucified on tumblr 10 years ago but maybe we are ready for this conversation now:

If you are a socially anxious person, you have to socialize. Your panic/anxiety attacks will only get worse and trigger more frequently if you constantly avoid contact with The Public. Not saying that you need to be a social butterfly- but there is a genuine problem with not being able to order your own meal at a restaurant. And it cannot be solved by always having someone else do it for you.

This is a PSA to about 3/4s of the Portland Youth populace

everything i hear on "the life of a showgirl" that prevents me from ever enjoying the album:

1. the fate of ophelia: "i would have killed myself rather than end up single"

2. elizabeth taylor: "feel sorry for me even though i'm richer than god and we're in the middle of a cost of living crisis"

3. opalite: "i finally met my real love! not like those other times when i said i had finally met my real love. sure, i'm thirty-five and should probably realise love can be real even if it doesn't last, but i haven't, and now I won't have to, because i swear this time is the realest love, unlike the other times i said that exact thing with prettier words"

4. father figure: "i've learnt to emulate the people who screwed me over and i'm gonna act as though that's a good thing"

5. eldest daughter: "my boyfriend has a history of dating black women and that makes me feel insecure"

6. ruin the friendship: "platonic relationships are inherently inferior to romantic ones, which is why instead of wishing i could have spent more time with this man who is now dead, i'm wishing i had risked ruining our relationship instead"

7. actually romantic: "you wrote a vulnerable song about how insecure i make you feel? what are you in love with me or something?”

8. wishlist: "people who want things other than the picket fence life are so superficial when compared to me: a person who already has all those other things"

9. wood: "i swear the sex is good. i fucking swear is good. why does nobody believe me i'm telling you-”

10. cancelled: you know how in 2018 every conservative comedian was coming out with a special about how edgy they were for being cancelled even though they were on netflix? taylor now hangs out with people who thought those jokes were funny!

11. honey: taylor's worst experience with pet names is being condescended to by women. this is why she thinks it's prudent to put "you can call me honey if you want" on a hoodie marketed towards teenage girls and young women.

12. the life of a showgirl: "real showgirls were often victims of horrific abuse, but while this hasn't happened to me, i will go ahead and continue to pretend our experiences are comparable while i claim i wouldn't have it any other way"

“bi culture is remembering you’re unfortunately attracted to boys” - no it’s not. literally fuck off.

you do not speak for all bisexuals. you likely don’t speak for most bisexuals. stopping shitting on boys for doing nothing more than existing.

i want any and all boys to know that you are great, and you do not deserve this constant bs. you are not horrible just because you are a boy. and i am so sorry that this sentiment seems to be so grossly pervasive on tumblr and twitter.

Hey, my lovely aspecs. It’s been a while, but I just want to pop in and say a thing.

I’d like you to do something for me. Practice saying these sentences.

“The validity of my identity is not up for debate.” “My place in the LGBT/Queer community is not up for debate.” “My personal experiences are not up for debate.” These three sentences are all you need to respond to aphobes. Remember that they are a loud minority. Remember that LGBTQIA+ organizations already accept you. Remember that a majority of LGBTQIA+ people don’t partake in “ace discourse” because there is nothing to argue.

“The validity of my identity is not up for debate.” “My place in the LGBT/Queer community is not up for debate.” “My personal experiences are not up for debate.”

Being asexual is lonely af y'all. There is no representation and it seems like no one talks about being asexual because you either get dismissed or people just don't know what it is :(

lgbtunis-moved

ok listen to this conspiracy theory so basically *blatant antisemitism*

coolestfinch

i am once again begging y’all to stop saying that lesbians are more privileged than the other lgbt sexualities. we are LITERALLY the smallest sexual minority group in the community. not to mention,

- our flag is never respected or used, and people will come up with any excuse to disrespect it and it’s creator

- our terms and labels are co-opted by people who aren’t lesbians and when we ask them to stop we are labeled as bigots

- our sexuality is fetishized and misrepresented in media only to pander to cishet men and about 80% of the representation we get is only cis white feminine women

- don’t even get me started on the way y’all treat lesbians of color, trans lesbians, non binary lesbians, and butch&femme lesbians

if you aren’t a lesbian, you need to be fucking speaking up about lesbophobia. people don’t listen to us. the amount of times i’ve seen a bi woman speak out against lesbophobia and a lesbian be called biphobic for saying the same thing is .. astounding. if you think that lesbians have some kind of “monosexual privilege” or have it BETTER due to how hyper sexualized we are, you’re a lesbophobe. pure and simple.

Welcome to Australia...

Where an already endangered species is on the brink of functional extinction...

Oh, and 500 million animals unique to this country have already lost their lives, upon homes that have been destoryed and lives lost of people as well...

I mean... we're only living in a literal inferno...

415 fires. Fuck are we dying...

Oh yeah and people are just fleeing to the damn ocean, you know?

Do you want to know what Hell on Earth looks like..?

Because there it is in all it's unfiltered, firey rage...

There it is... my home from space...

This is only the beginning. Our country has not only entered a new decade, it seems a new dawning era as well, because this flaming apocalypse doesn't show any sign of stopping any time soon.

And you know what saddens me? I've never seen Australian tragedies trending here on this website. I mean it's been going on for months and only now does it seem to really be getting recognized, even if it is only at #9.

And I'm going to be honest with you here - the internet, and media in general is so American centric, this website being no exception. You'd think that an entire continent being on fire for several months with devastating consequences would have more recognition, but no, it really doesn't. The most notes I've ever seen on a post about the Australian fires is at least a few thousand, and that's about it.

So just... please. If you can, with this post or any other post in regards to the fires going on down here, reblog. Because the only thing that should be spreading like wildfire, is a post about a burning country...

REALLY?

REALLY?!!

Can everybody please STOP with this bullshit?!

You know, while we’re on the subject, I met with a good friend a little while back for coffee. She told me that she and her husband had purchased essential oils for weight loss. She had been instructed by a salesperson to put a few drops of essential oils (I want to say they were grapefruit and mint) in a large container of water and to drink this several times a day.

She did lose weight. In some regard, this was effective. But she lost the weight because she felt too physically ill to eat. She reported feeling nauseated and lethargic all the time. She reported vomiting after most meals. I sat in the coffee shop and pulled up website after website, explaining why consuming essential oils is dangerous and why essential oil sales reps should not be trusted. Because the essential oils actually did make her lose weight, she was reluctant to stop, but being a sensible person, she did agree to stop consuming them. And she’s not a stupid person. She and her husband are both well-off, college-educated people.

Long story short, this shit is evil. It prays on people’s insecurities. I would say it’s modern snakeoil, but I think it’s actually worse. To the best of my knowledge, snakeoil was not a MLM scheme.

DO NOT CONSUME ESSENTIAL OILS!!!

These are for aromatherapy only, and they're not going to cure your ailments! At most they can help you relax (lavender and camomile) or help with symptoms like congestion or nausea (peppermint). And that's if you USE THEM PROPERLY AND DON'T EAT IT DUMBASS. Get a defuser god damn. And while they can help with cold symptoms, they can't cure your cold. Take some nyquil or drink lots of orange juice or something.

ESSENTIAL OILS ARE FOR LIKE, PUTTING IN A FUCKING HUMIDIFIER AND GENTLY WAFTING TOWARDS YOUR FACE

EXTRACTS ARE THE ONES YOU EAT

DO NOT PUT ESSENTIAL OILS ON THE INSIDE OF YOUR BODY

THIS HAS BEEN AN ALL CAPS RECAP

YOU FUCKEN NUMPTIES

Important because I saw someone substitute essential oil for peppermint extract in some “healthy” cookies on Instagram

autisticharrywells

From a WebMD article: “Taking in larger amounts of certain oils - like tea tree oil, wintergreen, and camphor - can lead to throat swelling, a racing heart, vomiting, and even seizures, says the Tennessee Poison Center.”

“Meanwhile, essential oils like eucalyptus and peppermint contain compounds called phenol that can irritate the respiratory tract if inhaled, particularly in babies.”

“The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences found that lavender and tea tree oils contain estrogen-like and testosterone-inhibiting properties that, if overused, could lead to abnormal breast growth in young boys.”

“For pregnant women, even oils used on the skin can enter the placenta and impact an unborn baby. And swallowing some rare oils, including pennyroyal, can lead to miscarriage.”

Can I also add that you shouldn’t be putting them directly ON your skin either? You can get chemical burns. The odds and severity of which increase dramatically if you have any exposure to sunlight.
