Honey girl with eyes like a summer storm and that whipfast mind of yours and how if I was to scoop you out of this holy water it would turn to gold to behold you. That laugh and those pink lips. I believe if mermaids sing of temptation it would be your name over and over again in rivers, all lapsing in a prayer, hands frayed for want of holding you. To be scorched earth and to be beneath you and to be greeting the rising sun to say: I rise too. to bend the horizon just to sink into you. Good and good and good as much as I can do.
nah I think we should really stop glorifying cigarettes
you sound boring.
You sound like youāve never had the scent of cigarette smoke ingrained in your clothes to the point where people in middle school thought you smoked at eleven because your parents couldnāt be bothered to go outside. You sound like youāve never had your mother flick cigarette ashes out of the car window and have them fly into your face. You sound like youāve never been kept up at night by the sound of your dad hacking up a lung because he has to get up for his midnight smoke. You sound like youāve never had to run into a convenience store to get your mother cigarettes as soon as you turned eighteen and cringed at touching the box because you know theyāre not only killers but government sanctioned killers because they can not only tax the shit out of them but ensure people buy more at the cost of young lungs and a once beautiful home now plagued with the smell of smoke and ash. You sound like youāve never had a great grandmother who stopped smoking 30 years before her death who still got lung cancer and subsequently died. You sound like a Fucking ignoramus. Smoking isnāt Fucking cool, it isnāt fun to glorify, itās disgusting and makes not only you but your children smell bad. Makes not only you but your children cough, get cancer, get sick.
You sound like a Fucking moron. Smoking isnāt cool. Grow the Fuck up.
No, you grow the fuck up. Thereās mountains of constant judgment when it comes to smoking. How about you leave people alone and let them do what they want with their bodies.
There is a REASON. Itās not just their bodies theyāre fucking. Itās never just their bodies with something fucking airborne. Especially when you have CHILDREN AND PETS.
My grandfather smoked in his house decades ago. We moved in. We started working on it. After just one day of having the AC off so it could be worked on, I could no longer stay in the house because the smell was coming out of the walls <I>so strongly</I> and triggering my asthma to the point where I couldnāt breathe. My grandfather is dead and his smoking still managed to effect me that negativity. It is not just their body.
My aunt took up smoking in secret as a coping method for her depression. My cousin found out and she was so scared for her momās health that she hid the cigarettes. But when my aunt noticed they were missing, do you think she had a calm conversation about the whole thing with my cousin? Nope. She stormed into her room in such a rage, my cousin was too scared to even argue. She just gave the cigarettes back and prayed for her mom to leave the room. There was no explanation for why she took up smoking, for why she was trying to hide it, no reassurance for her worried daughter, not even a question as to why my cousin took themā¦ there was just addiction-fueled anger. Directed at a child who had no control over her environment.
And then thereās my own mother, who has never taken up smoking, but who grew up with two chain-smoking parents. My mom who has permanent lung and throat damage from a lifetime of breathing in smoke that she didnāt ask for. My mom who now takes daily medication so her throat doesnāt ache.
But, tell me again how smoking only affects your body?
I grew up breathing not only my step-dadās cigarette smoke, but all his friends as theyād frequently hang out in the living room together creating a cloud of smoke that permeated the whole house. I got asthma at 10. I found a growth in my left lung at 30. I now have 1 lung. 1 lung and Iām still asthmatic. Fuck people who smoke around children.
If you canāt agree with this, then fucking unfollow the shit out of me. Too many people in my family have died. My grandfather lost his wife to Lung Cancer. He still smokes though. And my dad who stopped cold turkey when my oldest brother was born and went through hell to make sure his first kid wouldnāt have to also. But did it help? No. Because his mom didnāt care that she had a newborn inhaling her goddamned secondhand smoke. Donāt you dare say it only affects the smoker. Donāt you dare.
Donāt smoke around other people. Donāt smoke around pets. Donāt smoke in places folks /have/ to frequent. Nothing with lungs and a nose should have to be affected by your habit. That goes for vaping as well.
Donāt smoke in public places, like restaurants and parks.
Girl: *does literally anything*
My last three brain cells:
Pete Buttigieg 2020 Yāall
Heās a MILLENIAL. He is GAY. He is NEW IN TOWN.
And he is the only confirmed candidate I trust enough to stop this country from crashing it the brick wall of global warming/end-stage capitalism/grand economic collapse.
So who is this man??
ā¢ Heās the happily-married, gay, 37-year-old, Harvard-graduate, Afghan-veteran, Rhodes-scholar mayor of South End, Indiana.
ā¢ Yāall, when he was a senior in high school he wrote an essay on how amazing Bernie Sanders was. BERNIE. MOTHERFUCKING. SANDERS.
ā¢ (He was also class president and valedictorian nbd)
ā¢ He got elected as mayor when he was 29 (with 74% of the vote) and then again with OVER 80%!
ā¢ He was also declared Mayor of the Year by GovFresh.com in 2013.
ā¢ South Bend, a largely low-income community that ānever recovered from losing auto factories,ā was a dying city. UNTIL MAYOR PETE THAT IS. Thanks to his leadership, the city has āchanged its trajectoryā to become a shining model of urban reinvention.
ā¢ He created the Vacant and Abandoned Properties Initiative, or ā1,000 Properties in 1,000 Days,ā to repair or demolish targeted properties across the city. And he did that sonnnnn. He did that by the scheduled end date fooooool.
ā¢ He also had a reconstruction program called āSmart Streetsā (āSTREET SMARTSā) that made a bunch of downtown, one-way streets into two-way, pedestrian-friendly streets. Because he cares about the PEOPLE.
ā¢ There was a rising crime problem in South Bend in 2014. So what do? Well, Mayor Pete implement led the Group Violence Intervention initiative, which, hello, connected at-risk men with JOBS and EDUCATION.
ā¢ Guys, even OBAMA said he was the future of the Democratic Party!
Well, okay, all thatās fine and good. But where does he stand on the issues??
As of right now, he doesnāt have an official platform. However, here are some things heās said he supports:
ā¢ Medicare for All
ā¢ Green New Deal
ā¢ Raising minimum wage
ā¢ Finally. Ending. The. Goddamn. Wars.
ā¢ Solving the issues created by the dumb as hell tax cuts
No candidate is ever perfect. And thereās no doubt that he has a skeleton or two in his closet.
But millennials have got to fucking stick together damnit and we gotta get the old corporate Dems outta positions of power before the economy collapses or global warming murders the coral reefs (and then us)
Soā¦BUTTIGIEG 2020
letās go on a date and by date I mean lay in bed and make out for 3 hours
I married the girl I wrote this about and if that isnāt hope for you almost 1 milllion thirsty motherfuckers idk what is
Wait did this
Did this really happen
As a kid I thought love was boring and when a story had a ālove is the answerā message or when a character used love to prevail I thought that was silly and cheesy but now I know itās the truth. Love is the answer and it transcends space and time and death and fear and doubt and most of all Evil.
Love is the answer and itās the point. Romantic or familial or friendship, old or new, passionate or familiar, Love in any form, real, patient, forgiving, unselfish Love,
Thtās the whole point and it is what will save us. Just something to uh. Think about.
Hereās a bunch of iconic celebrities performing while holding/wearing the PRIDE flagš³ļøāš
Really happy to see this at my local library
OOOOH. *happy YA librarian dance*
I want this in every library, everywhere. After all, some kids wonāt even google this stuff because they donāt want parents/siblings checking their browser history.
This is really awesome. And if youāre not familiar with how the Dewey Decimal system works - the numbers subject-based, which means these numbers are applicable in EVERY library. So if you see something you want to research on this list - look for those same numbers in any of your local libraries.
This is wonderful.
Reblogging to possibly save a life
no one:
me: hereās a flow chart of 41 lgbtq+ book recommendations, have fun!
disclaimer: this is a very non-comprehensive list since Iām only including books that Iāve read
But now thereās five books I want to read that I dont know the names of and canĀ just describe the cover
Holly-warbs (tumblr)
she looks over and my hands are shaking. taps her pen to my notebook.Ā āi like your handwriting.ā
her hairās always cute. i told her when we first met. blurted it out like a bullfrog. spilled over myself with it. sheās always cute. iām trying to forget it.Ā
āiām writing in all-caps lately,ā i say, like she canāt see that.Ā āi like the sā¦straight lines, i guess.ā look up. this isnāt a room i can make the how unusual joke in.Ā
she smiles without looking up. trails one finger over the paper. soft.Ā ācan i see your palm?ā
i donāt ask for what. i give it over without thinking, and then start thinking too-much. what if iām cold or clammy to the touch. what if iām kind of sweaty. i feel kind of sweaty. what if she thinks my hands are square and itās kind of weird because iāve noticed that every day since i was nineteen.
her fingers are warm.Ā āi do palmistry,ā she waggles her eyebrows.Ā ālemme see.ā trails lightly over lines, a thin investigating. i spend the whole time fighting down a shivering. bite my lip while she hums in the back of her throat.
āwhatās the diagnosis, doc?ā i want her to keep holding my hand until they figure out how to stop clocks. i want her to weigh the category of me and find me somehow , somehow, magically - enough.
she curls up the corner of her mouth. just a little. oh my god, that smirk.Ā āi think,ā she says,Ā āyouāll be lucky in love.ā
