male Saudi Wahhabi Moozlim nonsense has no boundary
Yeah, that’s more of an Islam thing than a man thing.
@n0chillvibes
nah, I mean men. You hear the stupid things men say today about females and their bodies? Some males still think that where females pee, and where the baby comes out aren’t different places 😂
that mentally ill feel when u have a bad weekend which leads into a bad week and then another bad weekend and then all of a sudden it’s Sunday at 1pm and ur like…wait have I been like this for a month?
“Cautiously hopeful” by wishcandy
Copics and pencil. 2016.
When you’re fighting for hope with every fiber of your being. Struggling to stay here, alive. Choosing every moment every damn day to stay alive. Please keep on going.
Holy shit man, a friend of a friend wrote an open lettery/blog post about this abusive asshole who cheated on her with a bunch of girls from all over the country, and new girls are popping up all over the show. Two in my friend group alone (and we’re in a different city??). Such a shame he’s deleted his twitter because I’d love to see his reaction as all of his lies come crashing down around him.
a sook about the boy who done got me real fucked up
TW for manipulative relationships, i guess. self harm. I’m not sure about not posting this. i’m narcissistic about my social media; i’ve cultivated an online brand of fake fun. The Highlight Reel. but it’s not just about me now, its never been just about me, as i was led to believe. convincing women - not without their own burdens - to be vulnerable, trying to “fix” them to distract you from your own struggles, is perhaps the cruelest form of manipulation that i’ve ever experienced. Considering this, i wrote a thing (coherency not guaranteed).
a bit of pretext: i have anxiety and depression. it’s chill. some people have to take a couple of pills in the morning in order to face the day. some don’t. me and my doctor reckon the orthrus first whined when i was about ten. relatable memes regarding existential dread really get me going. i’ve made my peace with it relatively speaking; it’s chill.
having said that
being Mentally Unwell is shit. taking days off work when sitting up feels like it should be accompanied by a medal, supplemented by anxiety spews because you’re fixating on how your colleagues probably think you’re just lazy, probably resent you for “pulling a sicky” -convincing yourself there’s nothing wrong with you, you’re just a sook - you’re not just a sook - that’s the anxiety talking...don’t feel guilty about going off the radar,,, shit mum’s put money in my account again she must be worried. the thought of picking up the phone doing the thing,,,,, the thing where something registers in your brain as physical pain and its almost a black spot in your survey of the room —I might not be linguistically gifted enough to make you feel it, but trust me, it is shit.
it has made me more compassionate. it’s made me more and less aware of Me Me Me. the way i see it, when it comes to mental health, just because you don’t understand doesn’t mean it’s not valid. that statement sounds juvenile, but i think it’s many people’s - it’s certainly mine - innate reaction, to cry “wrong!” when faced with something you can’t quite comprehend. i don’t know what someone with PTSD goes through, or what someone with bipolar goes through, and so when someone opens up about their experience, i try my very hardest to believe and support them, even if empathising is a struggle. no one wants this.
he wielded his, and others’, mental health as a weapon. over the last 24 hours it’s come to light - through scrupulous comparing of timelines, John Tucker style - that he’s used his deteriorating mental health as an excuse to go MIA visiting other women, leaving me mid-meltdown over the ambiguity of his wellbeing. i relapsed into self-harm on this occasion. let me be clear on two counts here. the first: i am not suicidal. the cluster fuck of over thought and catastrophising thoughts in my head sometimes gets debilitating, and superficial cuts is a way to escape the hum. it is a last resort coping mechanism, one that i’m working on. the second thing to make clear is that i’m not blaming my own self-destructive tendencies on him. however being aware of these tendencies and consciously acting in a way that facilitated arguably one of my worst episodes in months, is deplorable.
Tori had a fling with him before he and I did. when i knew that our interactions were not platonic, i spoke with her about it. her story isn’t mine to tell, please bear in mind this is entirely my perspective of the situation. Tori gave her blessing, though with warning to both him and I that she knew he was manipulating me. when hashing this out with Philip, i vividly remember he said to me, “if she’s trying to poison something that’s making you happy, i’m sorry but that’s fucked;” he used Tori’s own mental health struggles as “evidence” that she was lying. he took her biggest insecurity and used it to pit her and i against each other. i believed him over her. Tori Bright 2k17: Trust Yr Gut Not Yr Guy.
i knew about Catarina throughout our relationship. she was a constant source of paranoia and self-doubt. he justified snatching his phone away from me at one point by saying that there were conversations relating to Catarina’s mental health that he didn’t think she’d like if i saw. he called her crazy and possessive. i felt crazy and possessive near the end of our “relationship” too; being being gas-lighted and mind-fucked will do that to you. i reached out to Catarina during my emotionally-devastated-and-feeling-petty phase of dealing with being dumped; her open letter is beautiful and heartbreaking and resonated with me in a nauseating manner. you can read it here: https://medium.com/@CatarinaZissou/philip-8e597c016d1d#.lj0zkucus
after Catarina posted the letter, another woman came forward with an overlapping timeline of being in a relationship with him. her experience largely echoed ours. he showed little to no remorse when i spoke to him yesterday giving him the opportunity to come clean; he was reluctant when i told him to delete all pictures he has of me and other girls. he told me that his feelings for me had diminished a while back but he thought he could “wait it out” until i got sick of him and broke it off myself.
even as I’m writing this I’m thinking shittt girl u need to chill haha have a ciggie then throw yr laptop out the window cheers!!! but na fuck that. fuck pretending to be “chill girl” (h/t Gone Girl). there is an incredible amount of pain in the wake of this raging dumpster fire and it can’t go on. i can find explanation and a certain level of compassion considering what he’s told me of his mental state; that doesn’t excuse his actions. it certainly makes his manipulation of mine and others’ mental states particularly cruel.
protect your friends from this kind of fuckery. i love mine for warning me, and mostly for loving me when i did the stupid thing anyway. me and my trust issues will be in the corner, rubbing each others’ backs, if you’re looking for us.
(also dad called me this afternoon concerned that there might be “compromising” images on his phone. i told him there was a shit tonne of compromising images but i do take a damn good nude and they’re tame enough to be aired by HBO)
(not so) Breaking News: I’m sad again and everyone’s tired of hearing about it
Places where reality is a bit altered:
• any target • churches in texas • abandoned 7/11’s • your bedroom at 5 am • hospitals at midnight • warehouses that smell like dust • lighthouses with lights that don’t work anymore • empty parking lots • ponds and lakes in suburban neighborhoods • rooftops in the early morning • inside a dark cabinet
playgrounds at night
rest stops on highways
deep in the mountains
early in the morning wherever it’s just snowed
trails by the highway just out of earshot of traffic
schools during breaks
those little beaches right next to ferry docks
bowling alleys
unfamiliar mcdonalds on long roadtrips
your friends living room once everybody but you is asleep
laundromats at midnight
what the fuck
galeries in art museums that are empty except for you
the lighting section of home depot
stairwells
•hospital waiting rooms •airports from midnight to 7am • bathrooms in small concert venues
I just got the weirdest feeling I swear
OK LISTEN THERE ARE REASONS FOR THIS!!!
A lot of these places are called liminal spaces - which means they are throughways from one space to the next. Places like rest stops, stairwells, trains, parking lots, waiting rooms, airports feel weird when you’re in them because their existence is not about themselves, but the things before and after them. They have no definitive place outside of their relationship to the spaces you are coming from and going to. Reality feels altered here because we’re not really supposed to be in them for a long time for think about them as their own entities, and when we do they seem odd and out of place.
The other spaces feel weird because our brains are hard-wired for context - we like things to belong to a certain place and time and when we experience those things outside of the context our brains have developed for them, our brains are like NOPE SHIT THIS ISN’T RIGHT GET OUT ABORT ABORT. Schools not in session, empty museums, being awake when other people are asleep - all these things and spaces feel weird because our brain is like “I already have a context for this space and this is not it so it must be dangerous.” Our rational understanding can sometimes override that immediate “danger” impulse but we’re still left with a feeling of wariness and unease.
Listen I am very passionate about liminal spaces they are fascinating stuff or perhaps I am merely a nerd.
I, for one, appreciate your passion for liminal spaces and thank you for explaining it to the rest of us.
I low key wish I was pretty. Like really pretty. Like gorgeous. The kind of good looks that have everyone wanting to know who you are and where you came from and wondering how you ended up in the same space as them.
I never understood why a girl is always suppose to be that ride or die chick that stays with a man and helps him build and become the man she deserves but a guy is never told to stay with a woman while she finds herself. A guy will always look for that perfect woman but we are suppose to settle for a building project?! Fuck that.
I love seeing posts like these because it really makes me realize how much I’ve been conditioned to live to uplift men. We really don’t ever hear about people telling men to stand by a woman when she has nothing and helping her reach her full potential.
There was this other post about women learning to love what their men love and how men don’t do the same in return and thats so fucking true.
It just makes feel like I’ve been brainwashed into settling for a partner that really isn’t as great as I probably think he is in my head.
Posts like these really have taught me what to look for in a partner because sometimes I feel like i can’t discern between what I really want and what I’ve been conditioned to want.
*Misery Business by Paramore comes on*
hey here's some facts about the DNC leak
1. The DNC reported a hack of its emails by a Russian server a month ago.
2. A cybersecurity company agreed with the identification of the hacker as Russian and noted that one of the hacking groups involved was operated by the Russian military intelligence service.
In mid-June the company announced that the intruders appeared to include a group it had previously identified by the name “Cozy Bear” or “APT 29” and been inside the committee’s servers for a year. A second group, “Fancy Bear,” also called “APT 28,” came into the system in April. It appears to be operated by the G.R.U., the Russian military intelligence service, according to federal investigators and private cybersecurity firms.
3. From the same article: Pro-Putin Russian hackers have been a thorn in the side of American cybersecurity for years now.
The first group is particularly well known to the F.B.I.’s counterintelligence unit, the C.I.A. and other intelligence agencies. It was identified by federal investigators as the likely culprit behind years of intrusions into the State Department and White House unclassified computer system.
4. Wikileaks, along with publishing the emails, published unredacted credit card numbers, passport numbers, social security numbers, and home addresses of hundreds of Democratic donors. They called this “not an error.” This is known as doxxing, and it is illegal in US jurisdictions.
Doxing is always illegal, whether it is done against a federal employee, a state employee, or a regular person. There are federal and state laws that specifically address doxing government employees. With regular citizens, doxing falls under various state criminal laws, such as stalking, cyberstalking, harassment, threats, and other such laws, depending on the state. Since these doxing threats and activities are made on the internet, the law of any state may be invoked, though most often an investigator will look to the state in which the person making the threat is located, if this is known, or the state in which the victim is situated. A state prosecutor can only prosecute violations of the laws of his or her own state, and of acts that extend into their state. When acts are on the internet, they extend into all the states. Misinformation was spread that doxing is legal. I am not sure how or why anyone fell for that misinformation. Surely, people must understand instinctively, even if they were misled about the law, that if they are threatening someone or putting them at risk, or tormenting or harassing the other on the internet, that this must be illegal. Common sense would tell you that bullying or jeopardizing another would be illegal in some way. So yes, doxing is illegal, no matter who the target.
5. Wikileaks has offered support to the racist, sexist agitator and Trump supporter Milo Yiannopoulos after his ban from Twitter for inciting hate mobs. This support was not merely a tweet or two extending a hand: it was an offer to build an entire new social network fine-tuned to Yiannopoulos’ needs.
6. Milo is a vocal Trump supporter and headlined an event at the RNC.
7. Wikileaks is run by Julian Assange, an accused rapist, who has for years taken a paycheck from Russia Today, the English-language propaganda arm of the Kremlin.
8. Trump, blacklisted as he is from borrowing form most US banks, has enticed mostly investors from Russia to prop up his floundering enterprises.
After his bankruptcy and business failures roughly a decade ago Trump has had an increasingly difficult time finding sources of capital for new investments. As I noted above, Trump has been blackballed by all major US banks with the exception of Deutschebank, which is of course a foreign bank with a major US presence. He has steadied and rebuilt his financial empire with a heavy reliance on capital from Russia. At a minimum the Trump organization is receiving lots of investment capital from people close to Vladimir Putin.
9. Trump is pro-Putin to the point where he would not defend other NATO member nations against Russian attacks.
10. Trump’s right hand man, Paul Manafort, was for almost a decade an advisor to Viktor Yanukovych, the ousted president of Ukraine who now lives in exile in Russia and is a major Putin ally. Trump’s other top staffers tend towards supporting the Russian government/elite in various ways.
11. There is nothing in the DNC emails that indicates breaking of any laws.
12. Bernie Sanders only declared himself a Democrat this election cycle. The DNC was not obligated to support him, and yet they did - there are emails where staffers complain about bending over backwards for the Sanders campaign. There’s also an email from the Sanders campaign demanding a private jet to be paid for by the DNC after Bernie had reached the point where it was mathematically impossible for him to win the nomination. (They also called Lin-Manuel Miranda a baby for not doing a fundraiser on his off day, which is frankly hilarious.)
12c. Bernie Sanders lost the Democratic nomination by 3,775,437 votes. He lost badly among registerd Democrats, black Democrats, and Latino Democrats. If the DNC is incompetent enough not to secure their servers against hackers, they are sure as shit not capable of stealing nearly four million votes.
13. Hillary Clinton does not have mind-control powers and is not responsible for every single word typed in a private DNC email server.
14. The release of the emails was timed for when Trump would have a large amount of goodwill - the “convention bump,” as noted in several large-scale polls by reputable organizations - and before the Democrats/Hillary would have a chance to respond to the bump at their own convention.
15. Trump has engaged in much worse political ratfucking of his same-party opponents than the DNC did in its emails, in public, and it is widely known that the RNC has been attempting to sabotage him for months.
16. It ain’t like Putin hasn’t done shit like this before. He killed a journalist with plutonium. I could go on about what he does inside his country, but I’m not super familiar with it, and frankly "sitting head of state ordered the assassination of a journalist in exile by means of nuclear material" is fucked up enough.
Conclusions that can be reasonably drawn from these facts:
1. Wikileaks, whatever its intentions in the past, is not a neutral whistleblower and cannot be, given the money their founder draws from the Russian government.
2. The DNC did not engage in any political ratfuckery beyond what is normal for any and especially this cycle, nor did they break any laws.
3. Wikileaks is not a progressive actor, given its support for both Milo Yiannopoulos and Vladimir Putin.
4. The hackers sat on the material for more than a month, and the reveal of the documents was timed to hurt Hillary Clinton and buck up Trump.
Other conclusions that can be drawn:
1. Trump and Putin colluded somehow on this hack job.
2. Putin wants Trump in the White House because Trump has, among other things, publicly stated that he will not defend NATO states bordering Russia if Russia invades, and is willing to sponsor illegal activity to make this happen.
Conclusions the FBI has drawn:
The FBI is publicly saying that they suspect the Russian government did this. Several unnamed US officials suspect this was “a deliberate attempt to influence the presidential election in favor of Donald Trump, according to five individuals familiar with the investigation of the breach.”
(Also, on that note - the DNC is not gonna accuse a foreign state of trying to influence the election via cyberterrorism without some cold hard proof. That’s not an accusation you throw around lightly, especially when you represent one of the two largest parties in America.)
TL;DR
Debbie Wasserman Schultz complaining about an independent tanking her anointed candidate should not make you mourn the death of American democracy. What should be making you furious - and terrified, honestly - is that a foreign state, led by an autocrat with a history of human rights abuses, has used a “pro-transparency” organization to achieve its goal in installing a malleable strongman and has committed cyberterrorism in the process.
Please don’t vote third party this election. Please.
The emails sucked, but there are tons of excellent points made here.
Exactly. Wasserman-Schultz totally deserves to be out on her ass for this, but the Russia connection? Putin’s KGB background? The fact Putin is drooling over the idea of having a pro-Putin idiot in charge of America who plans to abandon NATO &The UN, essentially letting Putin do whatever he wants to half of Europe?
Wikileaks, like Anonymous, is something of an equal opportunity asshole; pure Chaotic Neutral and pure information. If this leaked about four months ago, then we’d probably have a different result. But as it stands, the idea of adding “Putin’s puppet” to the list of insulting terms for Trump just cranks up the “Keep this guy AWAY from actual power” factor.
YES and YES! What I hate, though, is that many Bernie supporters can’t look beyond “leaked DNC emails” and jump to all the conclusions, leaving out key facts about this situation. I’ll always love Bernie, but many of his supporters keep thinking with their hearts and ideologies instead of looking at stuff like this with thorough research so as to better understand the politics of this. Because politics is never, and has never been and never will be, black and white. It’s so fucking grey and murky is ridiculous.
i hate bein the stereotypical emo bitch but life sux ,my dude
