Unintentional back-to-back postings of the golden potato months apart from each other really tells you how things are going in my world, eh?

The government made the words “left” and “right” illegal to use and passed a law to replace them with “lean with it” and “rock with it” respectively.

I’ll meet you at the crossroads
Between 
the now
and then
And whisper all our secrets
That I can never speak again. -JJ

the line between not going out as an act of self-care and not going out as a symptom of depression is but a gossamer thread

[coelasquid]

This whole “trust Tumblr blindly” thing is eventually going to kill someone, as I became pointedly aware of on one occasion I was making fun of how poorly a particular bleach-based drain declogger was working on my sink and got a chorus of really dangerously misinformed people telling me to pour vinegar in after it because all cute little cool kid diy home care blogs they’re following talk about vinegar like it it’s the big secret the cleaning companies don’t want you to know.

And I cringed knowing that someday, some Well Actually expert who read a blog article once is going to give that advice to someone who unfortunately didn’t take high school chemistry and isn’t aware that MIXING VINEGAR AND BLEACH MAKES CHLORINE GAS.

[death-limes]

holy fucking jesus tits reblog to save a life

[solarpunkarchivist-deactivated2]

OK I actually got a full on A* for GCSE Chemistry and if I ever knew this I’ve forgotten it. Seriously reblog this.

[xavea]

Also don’t use bleach to clean up if your cat pees outside the littlerbox (or urine in general for that matter, species doesn’t really matter here I think). I did that in a small space and it took me a bit of coughing and wheezing and wanting to tear my eyes out before I went, “wait, fuck, I just gassed myself”.

Be aware of the chemicals you are using even if they are natural cleaners.

My girl Alex is out here exposing all of the shit that no one says about congress and I am LIVING for it

[sweethotnight]

yesterday this girl in my academic writing class sits down next to me and puts 3 bananas on the desk (which was jarring by itself) and i had two bananas in my backpack so i wanted to see if she would notice if i added those to her banana pile when she wasn’t looking and when she finally looked back at the bananas she sighed and said really quietly to herself “oh my god…i have so many…” and put all five of them in her backpack

How Barack proposed to Michelle.

[symphonicseauxl]

Dangerous flex but okay

[pip-n-flinx]

But this is missing the real context. They were arguing over the value of marriage in a committed relationship. Barack often argued that if they loved eachother the marriage was unnecessary. And *that* is the argument he started before proposing to her

Less a flex and more emotional judo

Three cheers for these guys [x]

Using their Bro-ness for good, not evil

[ladyflowdi]

So a tiny story: on Black Friday a few weeks ago I went to Gamestop to buy my brother a game for Christmas, and I noticed this older man was watching me like a hawk. He was loitering around the front of the store without really buying anything, and every time I glanced at him out of the corner of my eye he was looking at me. I went to look at the PS4 games, and he was looking at something right behind me. I checked out the Nintendo games, and he was looking at them too. I was the only woman in the store, by the way.

By the time I got in line to pay he was loitering at the front of the store again, and I just had that feeling that he was going to try and take the game I just bought, or steal my purse, as soon as I left the store. OR, he was going to try and follow me home. And I know I don’t have to explain that terror to any woman reading this, but all I could think was that I’m in this Gamestop alone with at least twenty other men and something is about to happen. I’m beginning to freak out, to the point where I’ve just pulled my pepper spray out of my purse and into the pocket of my coat. 

So there I am, next in line to pay, and there is this GIGANTIC dudebro right behind me, and I say gigantic as a 6 foot tall woman. He says, “Ma’am? Don’t be offended, but would it be alright if I walked you to your car?” and I was like “Are you serious?” and he was like “There are some weird guys in here right now. Have you noticed that guy watching you?” and then I showed the dudebro the pepper spray in my pocket and he was like “Right on. Would you still let me walk you to your car?” and I said yes.

So I paid, and waited while HE paid, and he walked me to my car. And just as I was getting in, the weird guy who’d been loitering came out of the store, saw me and my dudebro, and turned around and walked away in the opposite direction. 

In short: men who recognize that women are unsafe in dark alleys, college campuses, grocery stores, gas stations and retail stores and do something about it are the kind of quality men that this world needs more of.

[yuuri-katsuki-on-ice-blog]

Please for the love of god yes.

I also appreciate men who realize that they’ve freaked out a woman unintentionally and instead of freaking out, do their best to try and alleviate her discomfort without approaching. My partner entered our building behind a woman and upon entering the closed off hallway between the parking lot and the main foyer, realized she had mistaken him for a threat. He wasn’t 100% sure how to make her feel better but he slowed down, put more space between them, avoided eye contact but made sure his face was very visible to her so that she knew he wasn’t trying to sneak up unnoticed. He said, while he wasn’t sure if it had helped, he was very aware in that moment that it is something that I have experienced on multiple occasions and didn’t want to contribute to that for somebody else.
