No. YOU DON’T GET TO DO THIS AND SLIP UNDER THE RADAR. Anyone who’s seeing this, I beg you to reblog. I want as many people to see this shit as possible.

[shortheaux-deactivated20161030]

this is really true tho!!! my uncle was a cop in NY & FL and they taught him to shoot first if he had to. anytime a cop feels threatened (and they basically teach cops they’re always threatened) they can shoot. its rlly sick psychological torture shit to help create a police state tbh

Reblogging again because you can never have enough Nazi flag ripping on your blog.

[fuckyeahnorsemythology]

Reblogging because we stand against hate.

[sourcherryblossom]

Reblogging because fuck yes

[asynca]

Mainstream media is really important in shaping a popular opinion - this movie (the Sound of Music, for people who don’t recognise it) was the first thing I knew about Nazis and the beginning of the war. I’d never heard about them before, and I remember mum having to explain to me what the symbol meant. This movie showed likable, strong and sympathetic characters tearing up Nazi flags and resisting the Nazis. It showed Nazi-sympathizers as intimidating and unfair. It showed us that normal people (Rolfe) could fall for their propaganda and we could lose them. 

I was seven years old when I first watched this and immediately I knew Nazis were terrible, and because of the power of the story and the warmth of the characters this feeling sunk to my core. 

I worry a lot about kids whose first introduction to world events is a movie like ‘American Sniper’. 

[xxtc-96xx]

I love that the captain did it with no hesitation either, even though doing so usually got you shot on sight

i know you tagged me because i can signal boost this but… this is me? and i’m actually thinking of calling this number?

[darkmoron]

I legit served a man at my last job who was fully covered in nazi symbols and shit. He was a proud actual real life nazi getting icecream in a family theme park and when he left I voiced my disgust to my coworkers on how security even let him in the gate wearing all of that. And you know what that bitch said? “Well some people are offended by your rainbow flag and you are allowed to wear it so he can too”. It’s not the fucking same. Don’t fucking compare the two

[theconcealedweapon]

Nazis’ entire mission is to exterminate anyone who’s not exactly like them. It’s in no way comparable to “some people are offended”.

[asymbina]

me: “I’d like to visibly exist without fear”

them: “I want to literally kill these people so that they stop existing”

centrists: “I don’t see the difference”

[darkmoron]

Oh wow I guess my addition to this post got spread a lot. I just wanted to add in another piece of important information. I live in Orlando. The location of the Pulse night club shooting. I was wearing a rainbow pin on my uniform because 49 people in my community died in a hate crime. I will never forgive anyone who tells me that my rainbow pins are the same as a swastika

[the-real-eye-to-see]

It is perfect!

#LGBTQ

[quitit]

I don’t think it’s proper. You can’t spread equality with a closed fist.

[stevesdiana-deactivated20200606]

You sound mad fucking stupid man shut the hell up

[inourwildest-dreams]

I think this creates a separation in the LGTB community. Why not just have one flag for everyone?

[rayvone-deactivated20200430]

There are literal hundreds of LGBT flag variations to upfift said Race/Religion/Country 

Even ones for the specific areas in the LGBT community 

How the fuck is this any different? Why is it everytime black people come up with something for themselves y'all have to come out with this show your entire asses with this “"segregation” shit. 

Suck on my entire dick

[nico-incognito]

Also, if you’re in this thread and have never made nor reblogged a post about the way POC, especially Black people are treated in the LGBTQ community then motherfuck you. We wouldn’t feel the need to remind you that we’re here, if you didn’t treat us like we weren’t.

VISIBILITY IS IMPORTANT. And that’s a great design.

[jazzybot4]

From a graphic design standpoint: That’s actually a really solid flag, symbolism, balance, and color wise. A+ work from a graphic design point of origin. POC who are LGBTQIA are going to be under a lot of fire, since they’re getting the double barreled whammy of hate in the current political climate. Be safe, folks.

[idontknowanymoreaaaaaa]

I love you all. Except for the haters, y’all can burn

you really do have to vote blue no matter who.

She turns 87 next week and she's had cancer four times, twice in the last year.

Liberals already lost their chances at taking the Supreme Court for a generation in 2016. The current makeup is 5-4 for conservatives, which means sometimes liberals can eek out a win, like the case that preserved the Affordable Care Act.

If Trump gets to replace Ginsburg with a conservative who will be on the Court for forty years, with a 6-3 majority, it would be devasting.

You're not just voting for a President for the next four years. You're voting for Justices (and lower court judges) for the next forty.

IT JUST WANTS TO BE LOVED AND SAVED

[fhaun-deactivated]

please, if you are able, do what you can for the asiatic lion. donate, get involved, spread information. there are only about 300 left in the world, and they all live in Gir Forest National Park in India.

the african lion is also estimated to be extinct by 2050 due to habitat loss, sport hunting, and loss of their prey base to the bushmeat trade. these beautiful creatures could be extinct in our lifetime. the next generation may not ever have the chance to see these creatures, there will be no more cute lion vines, there will be no more documentaries, there will be no more zoos or sanctuaries containing lions. there will be no more lions.

if you have any love for nature, any love for animals, any love for life, and if you care at all about the permanent loss of a species, especially one so beautiful and iconic, if you care and if you are able, please donate to help save lions.

The Lion Conservation Fund

The African Wildlife Foundation

The World Wildlife Foundation

[reylo-junkyard]

Not relevant to my blog, but my inner nature lover is calling

[falling-rivers]

Saw someone once posted a review on a book that said lions dont live in India; sad that some people dont even know they exist.

[gettingvetted]

Yes, donate! But not to WWF

[hapalopus]

Yeah, reminder that the WWF still violates the rights of tribal peoples, funds shoot-on-sight policies, has never apologized for its racism in the 90’s and has an approach to conservation that’s based on eugenics. WWF is also in bed with palm oil producers, supposedly for monetary gain. I’d also argue that the WWF misuses its funds, considering its CEO is in the 1% and at one time had a higher salary than the US president, despite being a non-profit.

Better charities would be The Zoological Society London and Wildlife Trust of India

[idcq-main]

this post is so important, not only for the information about lions but because I didn’t know any of that stuff about WWF and have supported it for years. I won’t be anymore.

If you look at the ingredients list and it’s a bunch of words you don’t even know… neither does your body (x)

[the-exercist]

Just like if you break apples and grapefruit down into their chemical components, I’m willing to bet that most people wouldn’t recognize the “ingredients” either. It’s a bunch of words you don’t even know:

Don’t use these scare tactics - Chemicals aren’t inherently bad. Literally everything is made up chemicals. Trust me, your body knows what niacin is. It knows how to digest fructose and calcium sulfate. Even if you only consume the most basic and “real” foods that are pulled directly off the vine, you’re still ingesting a series of chemical compounds that you probably can’t pronounce. That’s okay. 

[ohnofixit]

thanks to drhoz for submitting!

[terrible-tentacle-theatre]

“If you can’t pronounce it, it’s bad for you” is literally the worst pseudo-scientific scaremongering bullshit tactic. I hate it so much.

I’m pretty sure you can pronounce “arsenic”, but that doesn’t change the fact that arsenic is highly toxic. On the other hand, you couldn’t pronounce “cycloadenosine monophosphate” or “nicotine-amide-dinucleotide-phosphate”, though both of them serve vital roles in human biochemistry and you would die if your body wouldn’t produce them.

[dr-archeville]

Cyanide: Easy to pronounce, very bad for you.

Eicosapentaenoic acid: Difficult to pronounce, very good for you.

It’s more important to know what the chemicals are and why they’re in there.  Anti-intellectualism helps no one.

If you think like that, please don’t ever have children.

[dragonsspire]

Listen, my parents installed a lock on my door so I could lock everyone out of my room if I wanted to at sometime around 8 years old. They had a key of course for safety but they’ve never had to use it and they’ve never used it when they didn’t have to.

I was allowed full access to any books, movies, and internet I wanted fully informed about our family beliefs and practices but I was given no supervision once I reached about 13 because my parents trusted me to stick to the rules or not as I felt and come to them if there was anything that I had questions about.

As long as I said where I was going, who I was with, and when I was going to be back and then phone if anything changed I was allowed to do pretty much as I pleased from 13 onward.

I moved back in with my parents after university and the first conversation we had was my dad telling me that if I felt like they were treating me like a child to please tell them because they had no intention of doing so.

I still live with them and I’m comfortable here as an adult. When I eventually move out again, which I feel no rush to do because I feel respected and given more than enough elbow room, I will probably talk to them often if not everyday. Because they’ve always respected my privacy and my autonomy both physically and emotionally. If you want an independent and fictional child trusting them and giving them their space will do you many more favours than not.

[greyforthewicked]

meanwhile, my parents…

password protected my computer so i had to get permission every time i wanted to use it

put a passcode lock on our pantry so we couldn’t eat without permission

regularly checked our internet browsing history

shut off the internet at regular intervals, including when i needed it for university homework

did monthly checks of our bank statements and would confiscate money if they didn’t approve of our activities

in response, i went behind their backs and opened a new bank account, got a secret job, bought my own groceries, and used the wifi from the school across the street. they didn’t succeed in disciplining me. all they did was force me to distance myself from them.

your children are not your property. they are human beings, and they deserve basic human rights.

I am so lucky to have the friends I do. I litteraly have had a rollercoaster of a week and today was just the icing on the cake. I finally was pain free for a bit for the first time in two weeks. But, since I was running on only a few hours of sleep, I passed out and missed my bus. I called my friend and she is driving from her house, an entire hour and a half away to pick me up so I'm not stranded in the airport for another 10 hours until the next bus. FML but at the same time, I'm soo lucky
