tw: su*cide

A 15 year old boy who went to my school commited sucide last night. I wasn't super close to him, but I considered him a friend. Two of my really good friends were super close to him, though. I don't know what to do, or how to help them. They're not religous, so I can't say the whole "they're in a better place now. You meet them again some day" like I did in similar experiences. I know that this is quite different compared to my usual posts, but I'm honestly so lost right now. It seems like every second there's something happening and there's know room to breathe.

This school year has been rough

Anywho gamers, just a reminder that Chik fa lay is still donating to anti-lgbt organizations and eating there funds those donations.

Goodnight.

reminder to actually get a healthy amount of sleep every night

I get that high school is hard but if you go to bed early and wake up early as well, you'll end up being more productive during the day

you need sleep to repair and recharge your body

so, in conclusion, sleep or I'll steal your kneecaps

good luck to the college students tho - I don't know how to help you lol

pssst heY pssssst hey you, guess wHAT?

it's alright to be confused about your identity. it's alright to call yourself gay but then develop feelings for a girl. it's alright to call yourself asexual but then develop sexual desires for someone

your identity, the label that you give yourself, is not definite

don't force a label on yourself. take the time to discover who you are, who you like etc. I know that it can be hard when you don't feel like you have a group to be a part of, I know that it sucks to be so sure of yourself at one point and then be utterly confused the next, but you have to naturally find yourself. don't force a identity just so you fit into a group

it is okay to be unsure

miss me with this ignorant shit

do you even know how the government affects the US?

inspections of chemical factories, power plants, water treatment plants, and thousands of other industrial sites have stopped. Without the inspections, these hazardous chemicals could leak into streams and rivers, polluting our waterways.

inspections of certain foods have stopped as well. The Drug and Food Administration has stopped their inspections of seafood, fruit, vegetables and others. This can leave those foods victim to disease and infections, which can then transfer the person consuming them. You remember E. coli, right?

the funding for food assistance programs have been suspended. this mainly hurts the natives, women, children and infants that depend on them

the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Bureau of Prisons, Customs and Border Protection, the Coast Guard, the Secret Service and more are all working without pay. these are workers who's job is to protect us.

federal court proceedings have slowed down

most Internal Revenue Services have stopped, with only 12% of the agency working

The government shutdown affects everybody, okay?

western sexism is when your father tells you to "put some clothes on" when you wear jeans, a leather jacket and a crop top, but says nothing when your brother has no shirt on

western sexism is a man on the street telling me what he would do to my 12 year old body if I came home with him, walking down the street to be called "sexy" by men I don't know, to have inappropriate comments made on my body when I'm just trying to walk to school: but have all of this harrasment stop when a male walks beside me

western sexism is telling an eight year old girl to tolerate a boy's harassment because "he's just doing it 'cause he likes you".

western sexism is when a girl is always "asking for it", and a boy always "wants it"

western sexism is still sexism. We understand that eastern women have it worse: and we are fighting for them too.

but when a person break their finger, you don't say "well, some people have broken their arm" and walk away. If you use eastern sexism to dismiss western sexism: you are a problem.

sexism is sexism.

feminism is needed everywhere

Edit: there are some people who are confused by the first and second part. I want to make it clear that I'm not twelve, I'm seventeen. The paragraph about the crop top is based on present day, and the paragraph about being catcalled when I was twelve is based on when I was twelve, although it still goes in today.

if your feminism doesn't include women of color, queer women, Jewish women, Muslim women, trans women etc: your "feminism" isn't feminism

if your feminism promotes the idea that women are better then men: your "feminism" isn't feminism

thank you for coming to my tedtalk
