Ah yes, it’s time for “am i having a complete de-realization + depersonalization crisis or have i just hit the part of my menstrual cycle where my hormones have dipped?”. Either way, i want to be locked in a hotel room for 4 days with no contact with humans or words and only the light from a tv

A lot of people have a lot to say about what should or shouldn’t happened pertaining to the Columbus shooting because the body cam footage shows that Makiyah Bryant was wielding a knife with the intent to do harm.

I worked with a guy who during a psychotic break stabbed through a door, assaulted another human being, and resisted arrest, all while wielding a knife and barely coherent. He was a white 25 year old man.

He is alive. Works as a bartender now. Doing fairly well for himself. Turned his life around. Alive. That’s a chance that a 16 year old will never have.

Do your research you homophobic pocket lint

Can we please universally agree that the Holocaust is off limits as a comparison for situations that make us uncomfortable or we find unfair?

You having people talk shit or holding you responsible for your “political” (whether or not someone should be allowed to exist healthy, comfortable, and sustained as they are is not political. That’s ethical. You are ethically an asshole) beliefs that are garbage is not comparable to genocide.

Animals being slaughtered for human consumption (while in my opinion, is awful) should NEVER be compared to the Holocaust because dehumanization of the victims was a cornerstone in its execution. And by trying to evoke emotion by putting animals in the place of the victims of the Holocaust, that is exactly what you are doing to them all over again.

Please, for all that is sacred, just find new words to say you’re unhappy or something isn’t fair or you find something grotesque and wrong. Don’t piggyback off of suffering of over 10 million people.

Because ethically, that makes you an asshole.

Get to know Kamala Harris

Pushed a law that forces schools to turn undocumented students over to ICE, separating them from their parents and violating human rights

Just because they were the best option we were saddled, doesn’t mean that we can forget. HOLD YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS ACCOUNTABLE. Demand better. Demand change.

I remember being like, small... maybe 6 or 7 and my class reading The Egypt Game by Zilpha Keatley Snyder and having the entire thing resonate with me so deeply that I went home and made a small altar to Isis using a barbie doll and some baby oil as an offering and some pretty stones and thinking it was the most amazing, special thing... And I remember casually mentioning that I thought doing something along those lines was cool in context of the book to my mother because I was afraid of what she would say.

And you guessed it, that was BAD because I was going to HELL. That night, I took apart the altar and developed a really unhealthy fixation on the possibility of going to Hell.

22 years later, I’m a pagan... considering work with Isis so... Whoop. Sorry Mom.

Foodtok video voice over: “making food out of a box is NOT good enough, ordering food is NOT good enough”

Me, still doing dishes from the last time my brain gave me enough happy chemicals to make my own pasta but not enough to clean up after myself: you leave my depression instant mashed potatoes OUT OF THIS STEPHANIE

[ivyla0120]

I didn’t know that it was possible for me to be attracted to just a singing voice with no context... but then Bisexual Pirate Tiktok happened and everyone started posting their favorite sea shanties.... and I found Derina Harvey Band and 🥵 it’s the vocal Fry and growl for me bruh, holy shit.

[ivyla0120]

My family has been sending around a message that says “No matter who you vote for, I’ll be your friend still because that’s what being an adult is” and I look around at who they’re voting for and what they are blindly pledging their support to... what the people they are voting for have to say about the lives and rights of myself, the people I hold dear, and faceless strangers I wish no ill and I’m sick.

You aren’t my friend if you value my life that little. You aren’t my friend if you value my loved ones that little. You are most certainly not my friend if you value human life that little. And more over, you should wonder why anyone would want to be your friend at all.

reblog this and put the age you realised you were not straight in the tags

unpopular opinion: mental illness can make people behave in extremely toxic and sometimes even abusive or manipulative ways. relationships and friendships with mentally ill people can be extremely difficult, unpleasant, or even harmful. though this may not be intentional and i have sympathy for those who struggle with this, other people are allowed to remove themselves from your life for their own happiness and sanity. they are not bad people for this. the idea that someone *has* to stay with you while you heal or help fix you is wrong, people are allowed to prioritise themselves. it’s on you to seek therapy and heal. being mentally ill doesn’t give you a pass to behave in toxic ways and hurt others.

[ivyla0120]

Snaps for the people who break away, even at the “expense” of their friends. I helped my best friend through bipolar II but there came a point where there had to be a line drawn and we are so much better for it.

[bauliya]

i think villains in general provide better, more epic romances because they're allowed to go to extremes. they're allowed to put their love over the greater good. they're allowed to be selfish. the best a hero can offer you is number two, because their duty comes first. villains, though. villains will burn down the world for a last kiss goodbye.

[cake-writes]

[divinesong]

Yea, sure. Until YOU or people you love are among the victims for someone else’s love and the villains won’t care. Would also like to point out that some villians(Kuvira, for example) have been willing to sacrifice/throw away love interests for their own goals.

[bauliya]

idk about you but existing in the real world gives me and my loved ones immunity from the actions of fictional villains. hope you manage to get your family out of star wars.

[ivyla0120]

Thoughts and prayers for anyone’s family stuck in Star Wars 🙏🏼

Me super excited about finding a vegan/cruelty free brand of soaps, shampoos, and household cleaners at Meijer:

What do we want: A “no this is a hyperfixation please don’t record this, I can’t afford to fuck my recommendations this bad again” option on Spotify

When do we want it: 5 years and 300 plays on a 2008 Basshunter song ago

Apparently saying you won’t support zoos is the newest “fake woke” thing. Like who the fuck is saying they won’t go to zoos except the people who have been saying it for years and have evidence to back up their reasons why?

Since when is it cool and trendy to boycott zoos??? I mean, I wish it was. Now with the pandemic and people seeing the way these animals are treated without those ticket sales, maybe people are becoming more aware?? But as far as I know it’s not a woke trend.

I hate to keep repeating this over and over because it sounds arrogant and egotistical but guys. I went to school for this. I have a degree in ConBio and Sustainability. Guess what. Zoos are not, and never were, a valid model of species conservation. Hell, my professor rescued a band of cotton-top tamarins, and they only started breeding after he had built them a backyard aviary. They had never bred in captivity before, let alone the research facility/zoo they came from.

Stop uncritically supporting zoos just because you’re nostalgic. The animals don’t give a shit if you have fond memories of the zoo. You got to go home afterwards. They didn’t.
