Delete all period tracking apps and to start tracking using a planner or physical calendar

Book appointments for a form of birth control if possible, or to always carry condoms for yourself and other

Misha Collins SPN JAXCON 2019

Misha answering to the final statement:

I think Dean it’s been too mean, so I don’t think Cas should…you know, have that profound Bond again.

[luckyleprechaun]

More Misha moments I can’t believe I’ve lived and witnessed live

[greatcometcas]

sacred prayer, i was there

                it was rare, you remember it all too well

[you-cant-spell-subtext-without]

I also wanted to add if it’s okay… Ive been reflecting that now following Misha’s panel… i noticed similarities but also subtle differences in responses between J and M. They roundabout said the same thing - it’s open to interpretation. However, I wholeheartedly believe that the only place they differ is Misha knows how to talk! He can effectively cater to the masses, he knows his audience, he has pretty much one audience and he knows how to talk to them (this is not to say he’s not genuine). And importantly, I believe, he went to college, likely wrote countless persuasive esssys on politics, sociology and social theory, his wife is a sexuality historian! He’s going to have the language and nuance and everything else going on that he’s going to be able to communicate things like this effectively. On the contrary, Jensen has multiple audiences he has to cater for, him having strong opinions (or indeed even sitting on the fence like this) polarises his audiences and he seems like a guy who wants to avoid conflict. Also, I’m not saying Jensen isn’t intelligent etc but I think your social background etc and who you’ve associated in life hugely influences your ability to talk on topics. Jensen is likely to have been more and more exposed to this over the years, Misha has said himself that he and Jensen discussed the confession in depth and that Jensen made that space supportive for him etc. But he never studied social theory and didn’t go to college, he grew up in Texas and then developed as an adult in Hollywood. Your social standing shapes you. I just think it’s important to acknowledge that this is a super tricky and sticky area to talk about that probably often does feel safe for fear of saying the wrong thing and being absolutely villainised and dragged which happens frequently for J. He can’t get much right. But he is trying and has been visible in LGBTQ+ communities and charities and he is friends with Misha and his wife is Dee. I think we should give him some credit for not being some dirty homophobic sleeze. I’m in a profession that ensures I am sensitive to topics like this and I can still feel vulnerable and uncomfortable for fear of getting it wrong and unknowingly and unintentionally hurting people which makes it really hard to speak out and say the things I’m thinking. I know it’s important to and luckily I have safe spaces that enable me to do that and develop as a person who is learning every day. Jensen is not afforded that and everything he says has to be perfect and fit into 100000 people’s narratives all at once. Misha was right when he said it was a minefield!

**okay Tumblr deleted like half my response and I dont remember some of it but basically I noted that Misha’s career is also not acting focused at this time; he has various acting adjacent projects but his goals aren't being on a screen.  Jensen on the other hand has a primary career of acting, and while that does not excuse extreme conduct that is harmful, I think Jensen has to toe a 'company line' in a sense people may not be considering in their judgment of him (plus we literally do not know what his personal life is like.) Agreed he has been extremely more and more supportive of the community, and Dee has always been a fervent ally and ardent activist in this area. Yes there have been instances in Jensen's past that aren't squeaky clean, and no they don't get a pass or justification but to me he HAS grown, he has learned, and he has done better.

I do think Jensen was TRYING his best to answer the question that was asked in the J2 panel (again, he answered it and then Jared stepped in unnecessarily). If you watch the video there's a lot of tension and anxiety in that room, and J2 Gold panels are unfortunately very veory heavy on the other side of fandom that does not favor destiel. I think Jensen was put in a tough position last night on top of everything else you've mentioned (he also had a 6 am shoot this morning right after all that mess). 

At the end of the day, I just want to encourage everyone here to be kind to each other. J2M can't see our posts, but our fellow desticule members can. Let's not create more pain in a place that needs healing instead. Be each others helpers. I know we shouldn't have fix the transgressions of the responsible, but we are who we have, and if we come together in love and kindness it IS enough to move forwards from all of this <3

Do non-americans realize that the United States is literally just a bunch of countries in a trench coat that agreed to be semi-nice to each other in order to sneak into the Big Boy Club? Because let’s be honest that’s just what the USA is

[pumpkinylink]

The rest of the world: So… you’re a big country?

The states, standing on each other’s shoulders: Y- yes,,,

[pumpkinylink]

I love how everyone who’s reblogged this hasn’t added anything on or tagged anything on it. They’re all just like “Yeah. That’s it. That’s the entire United States summed up in one post-”

every single fucking time one of those articles of “things europeans find weird about america” complains that sales tax isn’t included

states set the sales tax!!! it’s literally different across state lines!!! american retailers can’t add it bc they’d have to account for 50 different prices!!!!!!!

[capriceandwhimsy]

It gets even more insane! California’s clean air standards for cars and other such things are so much higher than everyone else’s! So if a car manufacturer in Detroit wants to sell their damn cars in California, they need to build their cars to California clean air standards. But retooling an assembly line and car design to have some cars meet California clean air standards, while building others to other clean air standards is a lot of work, so car manufacturers all over the country have to build all their cars to California clean air standards.

Which is why California went into an uproar earlier this year when the Federal Government tried to argue that states can’t set their own environmental guidelines! “Fuck you!” says California, “we remember Los Angeles in the 80s, how bad the smog gets, go pollute your own damn air over in your own damn state where there isn’t a thermal inversion layer to trap all the smog down near ground level!”

“But you’re making it soooo haaaaaard to sell our cars everywhere else!” they whine.

“Fuck you!” California shouts. “And while we’re at it, we don’t give a shit what you say, Mister President, we’re gonna open our damn states when we’re good and ready, and our friends Nevada, Oregon, Colorado, and Washington State agree! Also, we’ve decided to legalize weed!”

“But the Federal Government says it’s illegal!” shouts the other states.

“Fuck you, we make the drug laws in our state, and we say toke up!”

“Now, hang on!” shouts the Federal government. “You can legalize weed in your state, but all banks are federal agencies, so if your weed dispensaries set up bank accounts, those accounts have money from illegal practices in it and are subject to seizure by the federal government!”

“FINE!” shouts California. “Hey, weed guys, you can keep selling weed, but you can only deal in cash!”

“How the fuck is that supposed to work!?”

“I DON’T FUCKING KNOW, TAKE IT UP WITH DC!”

“By the way, if you’re gay married elsewhere, we won’t recognize it,” mutters Texas.

“OH FUCK YOUUUUUUU!” 

And so it goes and so it goes…

“What’s sales tax?” says Montana. “What’s road maintainence?” “also what’s a speed limit?”

*gestures at Florida* Oh also, the reason Florida is “so weird” is only PARTIALLY because people who live here are bonkers – it’s also because Florida state laws around privacy do not include the details of arrests! So in other states, when you’re arrested, it can just show up in the registrar like “25 yo man arrested 04/30/20” but in Florida they can (and do) print the details of why they were arrested: “25 yo man arrested 4/30/20 for riding an alligator through town while naked and smoking weed.” I promises you the other states have PLENTY of weirdos, they just don’t get their dirty laundry gleefully aired in the local news.

All true except that I think a southerner would call the Oregon poster a Yankee. But to a southerner, so is a midwesterner and someone from the mid-Atlantic states.

Up until this year, we have been behaving more unified than we did in the past, though.

Laughs in Alaskan.

Texas was pissy about us joining the union because they would no longer be the biggest state, asking Alaska to be divided. We then said “we can be split in two and then you would be the third biggest.”

(My friends in Cali have no concept how fucking big this state is. How I’m closer to Seattle -with Canada in between- than I am to the North Pole, which is in my own state.)

God help all of us trying to describe to someone outside the US where Chicago is.

“But that’s like a major city.”

Yes

“In the middle of nowhere.”

Pretty much.

But the trench coat thing of all of us being 50 countries? Yes. That exactly. And it’s true, none of us really like each other.

People being salty about Dean tap dancing in a dream like he hasn’t been singing to Air Supply and wearing old west costumes and play acting Dr. Sexy and yelling at pigeons as a dog-man and doing an Eye of the Tiger music video and teddy bear doctoring and playing with swords in a dead guy robe and literally turning into a Scooby Doo cartoon like y’all this show has been Like This since 2005

[castielscarma]

The show is ALL of this. Dean is ALL of this.

[wigglebox]

Let 👏🏼 the Boi 👏🏼 live

[aphony-cree]

There’s canon of Dean saying he likes Fiddler on the Roof and of him quoting Rent, the boy has watched musicals. There’s also canon of him quoting Dirty Dancing and I’m willing to bet he’s practiced Swazey’s  dance moves while alone in some motel

[cuddlemonsterdean]

I'm also willing to bet he's watched the SNL sketch, where Swazey is a Chip N Dales dancer, at least 100 times, (via @aphony-cree​)

[profound-boning]

jolauriang: IM FUCKNG UPSET AT THAT SCENE CAS WENT “ITS REALLY HIM” AND DEAN GRABBED JACK AND /SEARCHED/ AND COULDN’T TRUST HIMSELF SO HE LOOKED AT CAS AND CAS’ FACE WENT “DEAN. PLEASE. TRUST ME. ITS REALLY HIM.” AND THEN DEAN DID? AND THEYRE A FAMILY???

[neven-ebrez]

Really tho. Sam got his hug (no Cas reaction shot) but then Dean and Cas were framed together with Jack. Dean looked to how hard Cas believed it was Jack to determine the truth. If Cas believes, Dean believes.

[rozanovnas]

“The Gamblers” and Dean’s Growth

What am I supposed to talk about for the next month and a half?  Jokes on y’all it’s still gonna be Supernatural.

Did I write an essay about Dean?  Sure did.

Let’s talk about something that I know a lot of people have talked about throughout the season, and I find like super fascinating, and that’s the Dean/Chuck dynamic.  I read a really interesting post about how Chuck feels about Dean, almost a sort of “writer falls for their character” type of deal, which is just so interesting, and something that I would read books on if people would let me.

This whole thing about Chuck “neutralizing” their “powers” (which, I’m in the camp that Chuck didn’t really neutralize these luck powers that they have, more just made them super fucking unlucky for a change, and it’s much more about Chuck fucking with him than him “staying out of it”) is that it even works on interrogations.  We saw last week that Sam can’t just pull the puppy dog look and get someone to spill their guts to him, so when Dean puts on his charm and gets the waitress to talk, it jumped out at me enough to mention here.

Why is it, when Sam’s go-to tactic to get info doesn’t work, that Dean’s does?  Clearly, he’s not immune to Chuck’s fuckery (hence the lactose intolerance and 19 cavities), but why does this particular thing get to stay?  Are we supposed to believe that, while Dean can charm anyone anywhere, Sam can’t?  It really jumped out at me that Dean could get info out of this girl with his charm when Sam couldn’t get info out of the werewolf with his puppy dog face, almost like Chuck picked and chose what they got to keep and what they didn’t.  Could be a little bit of a reach, but that’s how it came across to me.

Dean and that cowboy kink was all I could think about the whole time he was playing that guy in the bar too lmao.

REALLY enjoyed the boys, despite not having any luck or any kind of extra “strength” are heroes no matter what.  I mean, we all knew that, but to have it said when they’re at a low point, to have a goddess change her mind about the operation she’s running because Sam and Dean would rather lose all their luck than leave a bunch of innocent people to die?  That’s some good nice CLASSIC SPN right there and I enjoyed the HELL out of it.

ALSO “Don’t play his game, make him play yours.” Like hello???????  What a GREAT line and just like throws us right directly into Team Free Will 2.0 so perfectly?????

So like.  That last scene huh?  TFW 2.0 back together again?  Also them PARALLELS between Dean going straight for Cas when he came back from the Empty in 13x05 and Sam going straight for Jack in this episode?  P O E T I C.

But what got me, what really got me, is Dean.  Dean, who was hell-bent on killing Jack at the end of last season, who was so angry at Jack, at Cas, for what happened to Mary.  He is so…soft here.  So soft, not hugging Jack, but holding his face, really looking at him, trying to make sure, without a shadow of a doubt that this is Jack, their Jack, Jack with his soul intact, brought back to them.  And the best part is, he can’t tell, so he looks at Cas, and asks Cas without words to confirm it, and Cas’ face says, as clearly as if he were actually saying it “trust me, this is Jack.”  And Dean does, with that little smile Cas gives him, he trusts him. 

There are a lot of little things in this episode that show just how much Dean has grown, how much he’s changed since we met him in season 1.  Dean is so smart, so unlike the macho guy he used to pretend to be.  It’s okay that he’s not good at everything, that Sam is better at some things, he’s proud of that.  It’s okay that Sam takes the lead in the pool game.  It’s okay that he is who he is.  That’s okay.  He’s not a beach read, he’s Tolstoy.  And, a recent development, he trusts when someone he loves says something.  We saw it with Sam in 15x09, when he said he believed what Chuck had shown him was actually their future, and Dean didn’t argue, he simply said “okay” and moved on.  He trusted Sam there, just like he trusted Cas about Jack in this episode.

Pretty much every episode this season, we’ve seen that Dean is not who he was when he was 26.  He reads Tolstoy, he’s great at pool, he loves scratch offs (even if he never wins them), and, most importantly, he trusts.  That little look between Dean and Cas was so small, so soft, so intensely trusting and domestic and intimate, I don’t think I’m ever going to be over it tbh.

please raise your children to wash their hands after they use the restroom I’ve watched too many men walk straight out of the bathroom from the stall without a second thought and it’s keeping me up at night

[pon-raul]

I mean if you taking a piss who cares if you don’t wash your hands, unless you just like go full power and spray yourself like a out of control fire hose

[nutsacktorturer]

[hardboiledoldman]

people who wash their hands after peeing are weak and must be culled

[ua86]

The only excuse for not washing your hands after you piss is mastering the art of pissing without touching your genitals.

[youre-a-fucking-human-being-dea]

You wash your hands every time you touch your dick? How grimy is your dick?

Just out of curiosity, do yall wash your hands every time you touch your arm or the back of your hand or any other part if your body?

I want to spray this post with Lysol

[lilnasxvevo]

AHEM.

“According to epidemiologist Richard T. Ellison III, it doesn’t matter what you do in the bathroom when it comes to keeping your hands clean. ‘The rationale is that when toileting, it’s possible to have fecal material and fecal bacteria get onto your hands … So it’s wisest to always wash with soap and water even after urinating. Neither plain water nor alcohol hand sanitizers are effective at removing fecal material or killing bacteria in fecal material.’ 

“According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, handwashing can prevent various illnesses and infections. Ellison added that it can also keep us from coming in contact with E. Coli and hepatitis.This is especially important for men to bear in mind because of perianal sweat. This type of sweat forms around the perianal area, which is the patch of skin outside the rectum. It can then spread to one’s underwear and to other parts of the body like the penis. Biology professor Pat Fidopiastis explained, ‘The point is that simply touching the penis in an effort to direct your urine flow can be more than enough to transfer harmful microbes to your hands, and then on to the pretzels sitting in bowl on the bar.’“

WASH.

YOUR.

HANDS.
