I like to stare at faces....

I like to stare at a multitude of faces, reblog funny things, and talk about issues that matter to me :)

aww piss

[upthefolks]

so like okay, 

I don’t know why I’ve been obsessively thinking about the concept of “gaydar” 

but I have. 

Actually no it’s because a straight family member used the term like 

“oh I have really great gaydar” 

and it made me feel really gross 

and it took me like a full hour to realize why. 

When heterosexual people say that, 

it feels like they’re bragging about their ability to clock us, you know? 

like a straight person is telling me that they can spot us queers at 50 paces 

and i’m immediately going to be uncomfortable with that, 

whereas when other queer folks talk about being able to spot each other 

it’s a tool for survival. 

Like here’s the thing right? 

being able to tell is important sometimes.  

Here’s an example: 

A couple summers ago I was in a very very small town in Nova Scotia, Canada 

(like 6 buildings small) 

and I met a woman in the library who was probably a little older than my actual mother. 

She was there most days using the wifi 

because she lived across the street in an apartment without internet. 

We sat at the same table a few times and spoke briefly about life in passing 

and after a few of these not-talking-about-gay-stuff convos I was pretty sure she was a part of the lgbtq community 

and I slipped in a casual pronoun re: an ex 

and she just looked at me, 

stopped completely 

and said “oh thank fuck, I thought so.” 

and instantly started talking about her girlfriend, 

it was like this huge wave of relief washed over both of us 

because we were in a small rural town and both hovering in this really queer space and unable to talk about it. 

Anyway she was really rad and took me to the closest big town to buy me a tim hortons coffee 

because she found it reprehensible that I had been in canada for more than 3 weeks already and hadn’t ever had it. 

Almost instantly it was like 

“oh okay we have this thing in common that other people may not be cool with 

but we can actually exist and not hide shit without the fear of violence or anger”

but when it’s a straight person

they’re pretty much just letting you know that they can spot the fact that you seem “abnormal” to them 

like great 

thanks for letting me know.

We’re identifying brethren while they’re identifying outsiders. It’s that simple.

Boycott Split Because These Movies Kill People

Truth moment (because this upcoming Split movie is giving me some serious sad issues):

I have Dissociative Identity Disorder. It is the disorder once known as “Multiple or Split Personality Disorder”.

I have several “alters” that I know of for sure (they have names and make themselves known), and there are others who linger in the back ground and don’t introduce themselves.

I am NOT dangerous because of this. In fact, I am more likely to be harmed by others because my illness makes me vulnerable to manipulation and gaslighting. People with my illness are statistically more likely to have violence visited upon them, than to engage in violence themselves. And of those rare times that we do become violent, it is almost exclusively violence directed at ourselves. We are more likely to commit suicide than to kill another human being.

This illness is not likely to make a person violent because it is a DEFENSE mechanism. People like me LITERALLY tend to avoid conflict and situations that could potentially get violent at all costs. Avoiding violence is very much the base nature of this illness except in exteme cases.

Those of us who do become violent against others are a rare exception and ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS it is a result of the fact that it is difficult for people like us to seek/find the help we need before it’s too late.

Movies like Split only make that worse. These movies make us afraid to admit that we have these problems. These movies do not exist in a vacuum, and even affect the attitudes of the very medical professionals that we are supposed to be able to trust to help us. These movies make it difficult to find funding for programs and therapies that could help us. These movies make the general public afraid of us. Because of movies like this I’ve been banned from being allowed to see my baby nephew without my dad there, even though I’ve never exhibited a violent tendency in my life.

Movies like this are the reason people like me commit suicide every single day.

Financially supporting movies like this just encourages Hollywood to make more movies like this.

Financially supporting this movie is the same thing as telling me to my face that you think I am better off dead.

Yesss!!!

so i started a new book

*drags hands down face*

[lilbittydragon-deactivated20241]

reblogging this again because this is from Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents and I’m reading it right now and it’s incredibly awkward to read about my entire life’s problems neatly described by a complete stranger

[dreemzwh-ilecooockimg]

I think I already reblogged this, but doing it again because relevant.

[datmos]

Is this about me?

If you can, stop what you’re doing and do a google image search for “how cashews grow” right now.

Like.  What is this bullshit???

[humming-fly]

WHAT THE FUCK

[spookyceeblathers]

fun fact about cashews actually!! they’re technically the seeds of the cashew apple you see above them there as opposed to being a nut and they’re incredibly poisonous (they’ve got the same sort of acid that is found in poison ivy) if you eat them raw which is why stores always carry them roasted and unshelled 

for scale of how big these suckers actually are too here’s one in my adult hand

[theitalianscribe]

Are cashew apples edible?

[spookyceeblathers]

yes! if you eat them at the right time they can be very sweet and juicy but for the most part they seem to be relatively bitter and acidic so it’s sort of an acquired taste but they have incredibly fragile skins so they don’t ship very well which is probably why you won’t see them outside of places like central america 

[spookyceeblathers]

[spookyceeblathers]

#fun fact! in tamil we have a word ‘முந்திரிகோட்டை’  #which is an insult (translated it basically just ‘cashew seed’)  #but it’s a mild insult here bc it means your brain is outside your head lol (i.e. you’re stupid)  #eat the hell 

can we talk about how fantastic this is please 

[elanorpam]

this is wild because I knew cashew juice before i knew cashew nuts?

Cashew juice is pretty much a staple here in brazil, i didn’t even knew they came from the same plant/fruit for the longest time. Just… lol? They even sell concentrates, cashew juice concentrates are a dime a dozen, or at least were before the crisis, idek anymore

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Fun additional fact: “raw” cashews aren’t raw. Nobody sells raw cashews because there’s a chance of killing someone. They’re steamed to destroy any accidentally left over toxins.

[kaesaaurelia]

I like how this turned into a hilarious and informative post despite me knowing basically nothing about cashews except how weird they look when they’re growing.

My friend explained the spoon theory to our DM and he was like “ohhh so it’s like when you’re out of spell slots and you need to take a long rest to regain them all” and now I keep thinking of myself as being out of spell slots instead of out of spoons

[andisupreme]

It’s perfect actually because taking a shower is like a 2nd level task, whereas making an important phone call is a 5th. If you’re out of 5th level task slots, you can’t do that phone call. However you can expend higher level slots to take that shower if you’ve spent your lower task slots on dishes, eating, and getting dressed.

hey, quick note for all the people making those depressing ‘no we didn’t survive reagan’ posts: it wasn’t just the gays that died. the reagan administration didn’t just let aids run rampant to clear out the queers, it also specifically dismantled social security programs that took care of the mentally ill and physically disabled. and it also cut back welfare in the name of a totally fictitious, parasitical black ‘welfare queen’ which lead to even more death and impoverishment. our problems with the homeless today are complex but still largely attributable to racist, classist, ablest conservative destruction of our social safety nets. 

i mean, i’m queer. i’m plenty angry about the aids crisis. but i think we should also try to remember just how many fellow citizens have died from conservative regimes, and left no one behind to speak their names or shame the architects of their terrible deaths. 

[never-not-reblog]

so i see some people talk about veggietales sometimes and typically its with nostalgia

but i think some people dont realize that they predicted the existence of shitpostgenerator 12 years ahead of its time

look

yea true shit larry said that

ITS THE SAME STYLE OF BULLSHIT HUMOR

fucking praise veggietales its the fucking nostradamus of its age

heres the vid if you think im making this up

[siderealsandman]

Guys, I know everyone loves reblogging that Spencer gif of him getting punched in the face, but we shouldn’t be spreading the idea that it’s okay to punch Nazis. 

I know whoever punched him had good intentions, but he could have seriously, seriously hurt his own hand. Punching someone in the face is probably the quickest way to break your fingers, so if you’re inclined to remind greasy, cowardly white supremacists that they’re not safe in your city, might I suggest forearm smashes, palms, and elbow strikes instead? They tend to hit just as hard/harder and don’t carry as much of a risk of injury. Maybe take some yoga classes so you can limber up and put your foot in their hate spewing teeth?

It’s easy to get caught up in the moment, but let’s be smart going forward folks.

[threebigolsausages-deactivated2]

sorry that it didnt make you chihaha

[betterbemeta]

In light of the great Nazi punching meme going around right now, I want to remind everyone that the people who were filmed socking Richard Spencer were members of AntiFa or another organization aligned with AntiFa. They were dressed the way they were to obscure their identity and were trained, prepared, etc. to risk and face arrest, pepper spray, violent police force etc. They weren’t just any random person. 

We all should want to rearrange a Nazi face but please remember that AntiFa resistance is trained to take these actions while protecting themselves and others from law enforcement. The best thing many of us can do is to support and assist these people: by not identifying them, by not implicating them, by covering their movements and not putting ourselves or others at-risk while they are working.

Punch a Nazi today, but recognize that AntiFa and aligned organizations might fight for everybody but they don’t go into these situations as everypeople. A clear understanding of their actions, goals, and the risks of their work is paramount to their safety and success.
