guys: fight each other all the time

girls: support each other and share hand cream

Lol no. Girls are bitches to each other more often than not. If it isn’t to your face it’s behind your back.

apjvff

maybe they are mean to you only. everybody in my group is supportive and we share hand cream.

My world changed forever when I stopped looking at other women through the lenses that society had given me.

I learned how easy it is to ask a stranger for a pad.

I learned to share my lotion.

I learned how quick women are to compliment.

I learned how easy it is to make a girl smile.

I learned how to find good sales - hint: compliment an item and you learn where it was purchased and if it was on sale.

I learned how to see fear on a face across a bar.

I learned how to step in.

I learned how to ask for help with my eyes.

I learned about bathroom friendships and how deep they can feel for their short lived lives.

I learned how to signal complex thoughts and ideas through straw placement and head tilting.

I learned how to feel safe and make others feel safe.

Girls are so good.

The world is seriously a better place now that I enjoy the presence of other women. I haven’t had a single catty incident since I stopped hanging out with exclusively dudes and not-like-other-girls.

I am like other girls and other girls are wonderful. You can never have too many sisters.

I’m so glad I learned to love women.

What happened when a group of Harvard students took the 1964 Louisiana Literacy Test that was designed to keep black people from voting? They all failed.

Charities/organisations to avoid:

PETA: They’d rather spend their money on publicity campaigns than on the animals in their care. PETA killed 73.8% of the animals in their care in 2015 (x)

FCKH8: Is a for-profit company that exploits oppressed groups for money. They’re also wildly uninformed, and spread misogyny, cissexism and bi/panphobia, as well as stealing their posts/designs (x)

Autism Speaks: They spend most of their money on researching a way to eliminate autism, heighten the stigma against autism and don’t have a single autistic person on their board (x)

Please support other, better charities, and feel free to add any others you can think of to this.

This is what the Iowa Democratic race looks like Tuesday morning. Hillary Clinton’s campaign is claiming victory, while Bernie Sanders’ says it’s still too close to call.

theshameimarureport

All! This is the reason why we all need to TURN THE FUCK UP. TURN. UP. Register!

Look at the Entrance Polls stating who is coming in (Squeezed together for visibility)

VOTERS 17-29 (18% of voters) = BERNIE SANDERS BY 84% v. CLINTON’S 14%

VOTERS 30-44 (19% of voters) = BERNIE SANDERS BY 58% v. CLINTON’S 37%

37% of voters ARE UNDER 45.

64% of voters ARE OVER 45.

–

THIS PROVES RIGHT HERE, YOUR VOTE MATTERS.

Register the FUCK to vote. And TURN UP. Just a few more waking up and getting over to the caucuses would have turned a TIE into a WIN. Just think on how the primaries would go! Register! Party affiliate! And don’t stop at voting just for President, but get yourselves heard by picking reps so Congress AND STATE REPS AND GOVERNORS realizes that they can’t “just listen to the old generation” anymore.

Change that voter percentage so all of you all’s voices can be heard. Up that percentage! Do whatever it takes to show up! We have truly the ability to change things if we JUST SHOW UP.

It’s honestly like Christian Grey level micromanaging. Do you wanna fuck up your kid? Because this is how you fuck up your kid.

My parents did this to me as a teenager. Nothing will ever match the horror of being called into your dad’s office at the age of 14 and him showing you screenshots of your own computer from the last several months. Screenshots of private conversations with online friends. Or records of my internet browsing history. And then my fundamentalist christian parents asked, “do you masturbate?” because they found I had signed up for this site called “okcupid” in order to do the fun personality quizzes they had on it. And okcupid was a “sex site.” And they would play mind games with me, pretending that they had been recording more of my activity than they actually had, but refusing to tell me how much, so I never really knew how much they actually knew, or how long they’d been spying on my computer, and I lived in constant fear of them pulling out a “WE KNOW YOU DID THIS, GOTCHA.” at any moment. Sometimes when I left the room they would sneak onto my computer and go through anything I had left open. I’m 23 now, and to this day I have a soul-crippling paranoia of anybody getting near my computer. Not even long term romantic partners. NOBODY touches my computer. Never ever ever ever.

Because instead of actually communicating with your children, stalk them instead to manipulate them emotionally.

Phone horror story: my parents went through my phone when I was young and dating this girl, but I didn’t want my parents to know. I was afraid if they would accept me, my mom being religious, and my dad being the most important person to me. So every night, my girlfriend and I would say goodnight and “I love you”. But my parents were suspicious, took my phone, went through it, and then hid it.

They then watched me run around the house in a blind panic trying to find my phone for /hours/. I finally figured out what happened, confronted them, and was sat down for hands down the worst talk I’d ever received. They asked me if I was dating this girl. I said yes. They asked me if I was a lesbian. I said no, I’m bisexual. They then proceeded to tell me that “bisexuality isn’t real, I have to pick, it’s just a phase” ect.

And that’s my coming out story. I didn’t “come out”. I was forced to admit my sexuality under interrogation after they invaded my privacy, and then ridiculed. I have nothing to hide now, but when someone goes through my phone, I freak out. I don’t tell my family when I’m dating someone, even if I’m happy with them.

So yeah. Wanna fuck up your child for life? Wanna cause a major rift in trust between you and your kid? Go through their shit, and wondering why your kid doesn’t tell you when something’s wrong /years/ later.

backstageleft-deactivated202009

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, if you violate your child’s privacy in this way you’ll never earn their trust, you’re just creating a better liar.

i cant stress this enough

jupitarslightning

I found this and had to add it to this post. Seriously, talk about trust issues. A bedroom is one of the only, if not the only, place a kid can have privacy.

My parents have done that phone thing for years. That’s how I was forced to “come out” too. My entire life has been utterly destroyed by my parents and this is what started it all.

When your boyfriend or girlfriend asks if you are okay..

Don’t lie to them. If y'all are in love, tell them what’s bothering you. They care. It’s okay to be vulnerable with them. Don’t tell them “yes, I’m okay” and you’re not, because then you’ll be mad at them for not understanding your hurt when YOU HAVEN’T EVEN EXPLAINED IT to them. People can’t read minds. Give them the chance to listen, give them the chance to understand. Let them love you, communication is key.

MLK: “We must recognize that we can’t solve our problem now until there is a radical redistribution of economic and political power… this means a revolution of values and other things. We must see now that the evils of racism, economic exploitation and militarism are all tied together… you can’t really get rid of one without getting rid of the others… the whole structure of American life must be changed. America is a hypocritical nation and [we] must put [our] own house in order.”

Today, on Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday, I would like to remind you not

to forget that King’s family pursued a court case against the US in 1999 for assassinating MLK Jr. and WON. That’s a fact that is always conveniently left out of history books. Don’t let them turn him into their own personal puppet doll that says “I have a dream” when you pull the string, please.
