when knives out said goodness prevails, when knives out said having a strong moral conscience is self-vindicating, when knives out said it’s not what the truth is but what you do with it, when knives out said greed and selfishness lose out in the face of kindness and integrity, when knives out said benevolence trumps malice, when knives out said fuck rich people

Juggalos are a great example of how disenfranchised white people dont have to turn to racism to feel included or listened to. Like they could just be juggalos and we could all live in peace.

If you go for a walk in the forest, remember these ten things:

If you pass by a ring of mushrooms, don’t step in the circle, but do tell the mushrooms your dreams. They love to hear stories.

If you see large, foreboding pawprints in the middle of the trail, do not follow them; the path leads only to sorrow and despair.

If you hear the lull of a flute by the bubbling of a river, you may listen, but not for long; if you linger, you can never leave.

Be sure to keep any items you bring secured in your rucksack, with a few seashells hanging from it; the crashing waves from the shells will scare off thieves.

Return home before night falls. You never know what might appear when the forest is cloaked in darkness.

If you do stay after sundown, do not look at the stars. They are temptresses in their beauty, but can bring death and destruction.

If you come across wildlife, avoid eye contact. Some creatures may steal your soul if you stare long enough.

Never pass under a gnarled, curling tree, for you may enter a world that looks like your own, but is different still.

If you find a jar of honey or jam resting upon a boulder, ignore it. There are those who would tempt you with sweet nothings; don’t accept their gifts.

Mark a trail from your starting point with plain yarn. If you cut the trees, they’ll come for you. If you tie a ribbon on branches, they’ll capture you.

Be wary of the forest and all of its inhabitants. It is beautiful and wondrous, but can be frightful and merciless.

If we can’t invent a touchscreen that recognizes an ass-dial by the 24th century, we really have no business being in space at all.

1-star Review left for a local elementary school:

“It appears this school discriminates on men. I went there, and didn’t see any male teacher / staff, but saw women employed from every race. However, this doesn’t mean they are qualified, many of them including the female principal had spelling mistakes. This is upsetting, but not surprising since this school district has been infiltrated by liberal / communists from far places like Michigan and new york. Not Floridians. I suggest you homeschool your kids if you want the best education and protection for them.”

I AM LOLING HERE.

[masteraquatosic]

I'm not. What if that mf is on the school board?

[writing-prompt-s]

Your brother has recently died, and while going through his things you find a letter addressed to you. “If you’re reading this,” it says, “that means I’m dead. The following names are the prime suspects for my murder…”

[masteraquatosic]

Would it be wrong to actually write this letter as a post-mortem joke if I make the suspects completely ridiculous?

Dismissing Romeo and Juliet as dumb horny teens is OUT, crying because every attempt these children made to show love, kindness and tolerance in the face of senseless hate only led to more violence and death is IN

[inkskinned]

crosspoint: the entire thing was that they were dumb kids. reading R&J growing up goes in stages: “this was so sad” “they’re so fucking dumb what the fuck” “this was so fucking sad”. 

they’re dumb kids. there’s plenty of textual evidence they are both sort of selfish in their love (ie Romeo’s on the rebound, Juliet just super doesn’t want to get married to Paris and is desperate for anything-except-that-guy) and a lot of evidence they didn’t truly know each other/see each other for anything but for a romantic ideal (the entire “but soft” monologue intentionally uses grandiose terms and basically translates to “oh fuck she’s pretty”). they literally can’t even communicate essential information correctly. in my opinion they’re not a good match – and shakespeare knows how to write a good match.

but they should have been allowed to be dumb kids. 

the families had gotten to a point that even love - even stupid, selfish, childish love - devolved into violence. while the scenes they share are peaceful until the end, their solo scenes are dominated by violence - romeo with physical violence and juliet suffering the violence of having been essentially sold to an older man. they took the violence that they were surrounded by and turned it onto themselves. they had been raised in it, had been cultivated by it, and when they faced adversity, violence was inevitably the only thing they knew how to control. juliet - soft, innocent, sympathetic juliet - is the final death. and hers is by a wielded blade.

they weren’t trying to be a beacon of kindness or tolerance. but they were just kids. and what had seemed perfectly sensible (after all, the feud had resulted in death in either side, the rage made sense), the suddenness of a truly…. senseless death - who else can the families blame but themselves. no more finger pointing. after trying to hurt each other for so long, they only hurt themselves.

i’m convinced r&j isn’t about a one true love. juliet is the only one who calls it true love, the narrator certainly doesn’t. the first monologue describes it as “piteous“. instead, i think it’s about how it shouldn’t have been their last love. romeo and juliet could have been a romantic comedy about how fast kids fall in love with the stupidest things, how they make declarations of true love by the hour, how they float from one person to another, how they call crushes true love without knowing each other’s middle names.

it could have been a comedy. and i think, kind of, that’s what makes it such a perfect, terrible tragedy.

People always seem to assume that if you breakdown, or having a hard time, it’s because you’re weak, but this quote says the truth, even the best fall

I’m sure I’d feel the same way if I was a skinny white girl with blue eyes and blonde hair

[iwilleatyourenglish]

this girl posted a picture featuring her cystic acne uncovered, something that’s extremely stigmatized, in order to make a statement and spread positivity.

that’s it. that’s all she did.

she didn’t say she was the face of people with acne or act like she has it harder than other people. she just shared a feature that i’m sure she’s been shamed for and has struggled to love.

she’s literally 17-years-old and you’re 27. stop being a dick to kids when they haven’t done anything wrong.

[invisiblemelonmoose]

Man, I sure love this “Body Positivity, But Only When It Applies To Me Directly” movement. 

Seriously tho:

1. Just because she’s pale with blonde hair doesn’t make her necessarily “white”.

2. Even if she were, she still entirely deserves the self love she is promoting because having insecurities is not limited to race or body type (like what the actual fuck?).

3. Good job proving her point OP. <3
