Do you like enemies to lovers because it’s hot or do you like enemies to lovers because you think of yourself as unlovable & unworthy of love and therefore like the idea of someone seeing all the worst in you right away and still falling in love with you anyways

“Another myth that is firmly upheld is that disabled people are dependent and non-disabled people are independent. No one is actually independent. This is a myth perpetuated by disablism and driven by capitalism - we are all actually interdependent. Chances are, disabled or not, you don’t grow all of your food. Chances are, you didn’t build the car, bike, wheelchair, subway, shoes, or bus that transports you. Chances are you didn’t construct your home. Chances are you didn’t sew your clothing (or make the fabric and thread used to sew it). The difference between the needs that many disabled people have and the needs of people who are not labelled as disabled is that non-disabled people have had their dependencies normalized. The world has been built to accommodate certain needs and call the people who need those things independent, while other needs are considered exceptional. Each of us relies on others every day. We all rely on one another for support, resources, and to meet our needs. We are all interdependent. This interdependence is not weakness; rather, it is a part of our humanity.”
— AJ Withers, “Disability Politics and Theory” (via vulturechow)
What young people didn’t know, she thought, lying down beside this man, his hand on her shoulder, her arm; oh, what young people did not know. They did not know that lumpy, aged, and wrinkled bodies were as needy as their own young, firm ones, that love was not to be tossed away carelessly… No, if love was available, one chose it, or didn’t choose it. And if her platter had been full with the goodness of Henry and she had found it burdensome, had flicked it off crumbs at a time, it was because she had not known what one should know: that day after day was unconsciously squandered… But here they were, and Olive pictured two slices of Swiss cheese pressed together, such holes they brought to this union–what pieces life took out of you.
Elizabeth Strout, Olive Kitteridge (via quotespile)
Can we please stop associating being a good person with how much you're willing to suffer in silence for other people? You can be a kind person and still say "no, I don't have the time/energy to help you with that." You can be a kind person and still say "this makes me uncomfortable, please stop." You can be a kind person and still say "I disagree and here's why." You can be kind and still say "I'm not okay with this." Being kind is about treating people with kindness and respect, not about being the human equivalent of a doormat!
I’m never going to be able to look at this engagement in the same light, ever again.
“It still haunts me. It’s this photograph someone had sent me. We had to go to an official event at the Royal Albert Hall, and a friend said ‘I know you don’t look at pictures, but oh my god you guys look so great’ and sent it to me. I zoomed in, and what I saw was the truth of what that moment was, because right before we had to leave for that I had just had that conversation with Harry (asking for help/her suicidal thoughts) that morning. We had to go to this event and I remember him saying, ‘I don’t think you can go,’ and I said ‘I can’t be left alone.’ We went, and that picture, if you zoom in, what I see is how tightly his knuckles are gripped around mine. You can see the whites of our knuckles because we’re smiling and doing our job, but we’re both just trying to hold on. And every time those lights went down in that Royal box I was just weeping, and he was just gripping my hand.” - Meghan Markle

Reblogging cause important. Not because of opinions on the couple or the institution they left. But because of mental health. Also some of the comments regarding that crucial subject. You can’t parade around manifesting the importance of talking about (the importance of) mental health on behalf of and support an institution that has absolute no regard in its fundamental structure for it.

SHE HIT EACH AND EVERY POINT
[TikTok by @haileyych, split between two people]
Person 1, in a Kagome from Inuyasha cosplay: [text on screen says "So ive been noticing 'stop asian hate' has been trending"] I've been noticing "stop Asian hate" has been trending...where's the "stop all hate" people?
Person 2: She's bringing up a really good point-why were white people so threatened by Black Lives Matter that they had to create a whole reactionary movement against it...but they're not really making that big of a fuss over "stop Asian hate"?
It's because "stop Asian hate" is empty. It doesn't go after the root cause, which is the state and its institutions.
"Hate" implies interpersonal feelings and individuals, so the message is, "Oh! Just don't be a crazy person and hate crime Asians" and the work is done. When Asian racism isn't just hate, it's a deliberate narrative crafted to justify imperialism and war.
The U.S. killed millions of Asians overseas. The only way you can maintain public support for that is by dehumanizing Asians at home.
But "hate" doesn't address any of those systemic issues because you can just reduce it to "a bad apple". And so the white corporate media can weaponize this to their advantage by saying, "Oh it's just a black vs. Asian issue" all while leaving the larger systems of white supremacist violence intact.
In case you were wondering what Republicans have been up to since losing the 2020 election, it’s doubling down on voter suppression - a blatant attempt to lock in minority rule and ensure that they never lose again, even though their party and positions are getting less and less popular.
Experts predict that Republicans could take back the House in 2022 through gerrymandering alone. That has dire implications - with the House, they could unjustly impeach Joe Biden and prevent any progressive legislation from passing, among other things. In the nightmare scenario where they win back both the House and Senate, our democracy is effectively over. Not being dramatic. Republicans are openly opposed to majority rule and fair elections. They will not make the mistake of allowing everyone a free and fair election ever again if they regain power.
So what do we do?
First, support HR.1, the For the People Act, a bill that has already passed the House.
Next:
- Fight like hell to keep the House and Senate in 2022,
- Support abolishing the filibuster so Democrats can pass bills to protect voting rights, and
- Organize and volunteer.
I’m all in on our current fights - passing the $15 minimum wage and ending the filibuster - but don’t lose sight of the fact that we can’t even have those fights if Republicans get their way.
Voting rights must be our top priority in 2022 and beyond.
