🏳️‍🌈 Ruth Ellis (1899 - 2000) was the daughter of former slaves. She came out as a lesbian when she was 16-years-old to the complete acceptance of her family. In 1937, Ruth and her longtime partner moved to Detroit from their hometown of Springfield, Illinois for the promise of higher wages. There, she became the first woman in Michigan to run her own printing business. She printed fliers, posters, and stationary in the front room of her home, which also quickly became a hotspot for Black LGBTQ social life. Before long, Ruth was helping those who came around in any way she could, including by paying for college tuitions. After the Stonewall uprising, 70-year-old Ruth began giving speeches in support of gay and lesbian rights all across the country. She remained an activist for the rest of her long life and even spent her 100th birthday leading the San Francisco Dyke March. At the time of her death at 101, she was recognized as the oldest out lesbian in the US. She is the subject of the documentary "Living With Pride: Ruth C. Ellis @ 100" and is the namesake of the Ruth Ellis Center, a shelter for homeless and at-risk LGBTQ youth in Detroit.

Celebrate Ruth Ellis.

#Pride #BlackLivesMatter

[average-smoothie-enjoyer]

Miss Major is still out here protesting police brutality at nearly 80 years old. If you’re LGBTQ+, remember that this woman right here is the reason we have our pride parades. Remember that she got her jaw broken by police at Stonewall. Don’t you dare discount Black Lives Matter just because of a few riots when a riot won you your freedom. Pride isn’t canceled this year, it’s just time we pay our debt and use it to support the Black Lives Matter movement. We need to be out there supporting our black siblings, who have always been on the front lines.

How it Probably Happened

Bob the animator: “Ok, so, there’s gonna be a broken piece of a sign that says ‘KL’ on it. Can you draw that?”

Frank the animator: “Yeah, sure, how’s this look?”

Bob the animator: “Well, if it was ACTUALLY a broken piece of a sign that says ‘Klondike,’ it wouldn’t have a big gap after the letters, but whatever. We can fix it in the closeup.”

Frank the animator: “Uh… ok. Shouldn’t I change it in the first shot?”

Bob the animator: “Nah, leave it, but give the new one some wood texture, and make it smaller… oh, and change the lengths of the spikes. The kids won’t notice.”

Frank the animator: “More like this?”

Bob the animator: “Yeah, yeah! And for the final scene, make it REALLY big, and remove the texture, and… heck, make it two spikes instead of three. Two is better.”

Frank the animator: “Alright, it’s done. Are you sure no one will ever notice all these haphazard, illogical changes?”

Bob the animator: “Yeah! I mean, what, do you think someone’s gonna take photos and put them on a blog with 3,500 followers some day? That would be ridiculous.”

It’s called Unconsenting Media 

[shelikestowakeupandjustfakeit]

Oh my god, this is going on my list along with doesthedogdie.com

[tzikeh]

Holy shit that’s useful

[elfgirleargasm-deactivated20241]

I probably won’t find myself using this but for my followers: if you can’t handle this shit, USE THIS. If you think a movie or tv show may be hard to watch, do your homework.

[priboltao]

1 - the very reason why I don’t watch GoT

2 - This and rotten apples are some of the best sites ever

3 - Does the dog die have a TON of subcategories, such as jumpscares, strobe effects, does a kid die, does an LGBT person dies and many, many others (they actually link to unconsenting media under “someone is sexually assaulted”). Please save it to tour favorites is really freaking usefull

[whimsisadie]

Useful info. But… (and I sort of doubt it) is there a database like this for car and/or motorcycle accidents? I end up having to give up on lots of movies and shows because there’s often too much for me to handle still. Don’t really like playing the guessing game of “how traumatized is this gonna make me”

[this-is-lena-winter]

Does the Dog Die has car crashes, and if someone gets hit by a car

Seriously, they have a ton of things, and if they don’t, you can reach out to them and they’ll add a category

“Those days, it was all I wanted, nowadays, it feels all the same Used to stare at my bedroom ceiling Wishing everything could change Now it’s hard when you’re always searching For the life that you left behind Time disappears, year after year How the hell did I get here?”

I Prevail // The Enemy

[ultrafacts]

Two different families are in a custody battle over a Siamese cat that has apparently been living separate lives with two families for more than a decade! Ming belonged to the Alexanders. But he started coming home late, turning his nose up at dinner. Sometimes staying out all night. Turns out he was also secretly living with another, apparently unaware, family under the pseudonym “Cleo”.

When Ming disappeared for good, the Alexanders went searching for him and discovered the betrayal. Now his new family says Cleo is a part of their lives, and they can’t just give him back. But the Alexanders say Ming was their cat first. They’re working on a deal to share him.

I’ve always had this weird feeling my cat was cheating on me

[flowersgrave]

I knew cats would do something like this

[iamsnapethepotionsmaster]

My dogs would never do this to me.

[yourbigsisnissi]

Before you get mad at your partner for not doing what you expect them to do, Stop and ask yourself “have I ever communicated to them that I have this expectation?” If you have not, it’s unfair to expect them to read your mind.

So many arguments are saved by just opening your mouth and saying “hey hun, in the future can you….” Whether its articulating how you like to be loved, supported, or communicated with, you have to open your mouth. Your soul mate (IMO) isn’t the person that just always knows what you need when you need it without you telling them. Your soul mate is the person who hears your needs and thinks “I have no problem doing that because I love this person with my whole heart”

So check your attitude and open your mouth. Closed mouths don’t get fed.
