taako: is it just me or is the grim reaper a straight-up hottie?

magnus: how are you THIS close to being dragged to hell and STILL horny?

The great thing about fandom/internet friends vs. friends you meet out IRL, is that when you get to know people for the first time face-to-face, there’s this awkward process of trying to figure out juuuust how much of a dork they are, and how much you can nerd out before you scare them off. Like, you don’t wanna break out the real freaky shit right off. There’s always the impulse to hang back a little, as you try to gauge just how into a thing they are. But with fandom friends? You fucking met them in the garbage heap. You knew their fucked up narrative kinks before you even know their real name. They are screaming their passions into the void. Your friendship comes pre-loaded with already knowing the exact depths of each other’s depravity, and any ordinary-people-shit you have in common is just a bonus.

the thing about millennials who don’t want kids is I feel like a lot of them are deeply On Board for their friends’ kids

like I’m among the minority of my friends in definitely for sure wanting kids someday

but each of my parenthood-eschewing friends has claimed a different role in my future offspring’s life and they seem very excited to play it

so we as a generation may have fewer children

but I feel like they’ll be the most supported and loved children imaginable

As a millennial who doesn’t want children, I am seconding this, because it’s not like we don’t want children to exist in the world! We do! Children can be lovely and amazing and they are literally our future! It’s just So Very Difficult to raise children in our nuclear-family society, especially as a millennial, and you want to do the job RIGHT.

Well, if you can’t do the job right yourself, the least you can do is help a friend raise THEIR child right, help take the burden off their shoulders, and give that kid all the love and attention they can stand.

I’d be damned excited to do that, too.

this generation is so excited and ready to be weird uncle/aunt so-and-so

I hope this generation makes communal families a thing again and this time it won’t be treated like a “taboo hippie thing”

Takes a village to raise a kid

Try and try, and you will succeed.

If someone tells you, you can’t do something–let this be proof you can.

Society told me I was a girl. I’m a boy.

Medical science once said transition related surgeries were taboo. Millions of people are happily and actively transitioning to their true selves.

People have told me it was my fault for my phalloplasty related injuries. It is not.

Doctors told me I would never walk again. Doctors told me I would never be able to heal and reverse my ileostomy. They too, were wrong.

If you set your mind to it, you WILL succeed.

I'm about to be a security guard and the idea of something like this happening is now even more amusing.

Imagine This

Imagine that your partner has been hitting you. Yelling at you. You’ve been married for a few years, you’re both in your 30s, you have a little daughter, and everything you do seems to be wrong. You’ve been made fun of, mocked and belittled by your partner.

But you need them, because you can’t take another failed relationship. You can’t be alone again, and they’ve got you convinced that all the beatings and scratches and scrapes are your fault.

You tell your friends and they laugh. No matter how many bruises or cuts you show them, it’s still your fault, so you hide them. You feel trapped, but you don’t feel like you can escape. You’re convinced that you’re just locking yourself in.

And you see online one day an article. Someone else went through what you have. They got the cuts, the bruises, the scratches. You see that here is hope and freedom from these beatings. The physical and emotional pain can go away, there is someone there to help!

So you write down a list of 10 abuse victim hotlines, for people being abused. And you call them one by one.

If you were a man:

6 of those hotlines would refuse to help because of your gender.

3 of those hotlines would refer you to or give you a number to a hotline dealing with people that abuse and are looking to stop.

1 of those hotlines would help.

Out of those 10, 2 of those would also laugh at you or say you deserved it.

If you were a woman:

10 of those hotlines would help.

Abuse is very scary, but what seems scarier to you; being abused, reaching out and getting the help you need, or being abused, reaching out and getting laughed and turned away over 60% of the time because of who you are?

Only 8% of men who call abuse hotlines find them ‘very helpful’ and get the assistance they need.

Women can abuse. Men can be abused. Men need equality and help too.

Wtf is this trash lol

grannythots-deactivated20190917

how is this trash?

nsepstein-blog

All they could say is “this is trash” because this study was written and published by a woman with a PhD and is comprehensive and heavily sourced.

Just to add some quotes found in the study from men who tried to seek help:

• They laughed at me and told me I must have done something to deserve it if it happened at all.

• They asked how much I weighed and how much she weighed and then hung up on me…I was told by this agency that I was full of BS.

• They accused me of trying to hide my “abuse” of her by claiming to be a victim, and they said that I was nothing more than a wimp.

• They didn’t really listen to what I said. They assumed that all abusers are men and said that I must accept that I was the abuser. They ridiculed me for not leaving my wife, ignoring the issues about what I would need to do to protect my six children and care for them.

And maybe the saddest one: They just laughed and hung up the phone.

Man can be abused too , this is not trash

My father had to suffer hell for years , and he ended up in hopsital too because of my mother . So don’t you dare to say that a man can’t suffer from abuse because that’s bullshit. It happens , it can happen to everyone . And the fact that people are not willing to help is just sick

This breaks my heart.

I hate that people don’t acknowledge this more. Men can be, and are, abused. It’s f**king stupid that people think they can’t be just because they’re men.

This bias manifests in another way people tend to overlook, and that’s violence between gay couples. My husband took a class on domestic violence as part of CLE requirements for his law license. It was completely focused on male perpetuated violence against women.

One of his colleagues asked what should be done if a situation arose between two women and in return they got a blank stare and a half mumbled explanation that there hadn’t been enough “research” done on gay couples to adequately address the question. The presenter then hastily moved on. This wasn’t some small organization either; it was the largest domestic violence organization in the state, and the idea that DV could be anything other than man abusing woman hadn’t even occurred to them.

Pulled from my home inside a cloud, Lost to the dark I drift alone, Now I’ve returned beyond the shroud, Ever to reign upon my throne, Here in my Crystal Kingdom.

I saw beyond the omniverse, Far past the places we should see, But for my vision I was cursed, Torn from my home and family, Lost to my Crystal Kingdom.

Saved from the darkness by my child, Locked in a cage of glass and steel, But my true love remains in exile, Beckoning me to break the seal, Into this Crystal Kingdom.

Kept from our children, lovers, friends, Subject to laws we did not make, This is where separation ends, And souls of the lost will come awake, Enter this Crystal Kingdom.
