resident boykisser, i’ll see you when i see you

[slugshop]

it is summer and your friend turns to you in that gentle quiet between the adventures

‘is it really okay that i’m taking up your time?’

his companionship feels like sitting in your favorite coffee shop where the sun pools into your booth, and standing barefoot in warm sand while the ocean shivers, and watching fireflies pool in your back yard from the quiet peace of your back porch

‘of course it is ; i want to be with you.’

[fluentisonus]

He added, after a pause: “Remember this, my friends: there are no such things as bad plants or bad men. There are only bad cultivators.”

I love that the pandemic actually definitively proved a lot of those "hard" questions for us. Masking up reduced cases of the flu to almost nonexistent numbers and we had zero flu deaths for a time. The welfare and social service and unemployment programs helped keep people living paycheck to paycheck out of poverty, and those stimulus checks some folks keep complaining about actually massively benefitted the common man and the economy. Individual personal travel was so extremely restricted on a global scale that we basically have concrete proof that individual restraint in terms of driving cars or travelling means absolutely nothing by comparison because the mass pollution is coming from the fisheries and the corporations with private jets and container ships. Working from home actually has massive benefits for a company like productivity boosts and better mental health of employees while also saving gas

and we're just. Willingly going back to how everything was before. We were shown how to do things better and the people in charge said "that's nice but we just want to get everything 'back to normal' :)"

[roach-works]

we’re not willingly going back to how everything was before. we are being forced back into it by members of the ruling class who found out that making things better for almost everyone else made them feel bad.

[silly-jellyghoty]

Let's not forget about any of these things. Let's reblog and schedule this post to pop in in the future to remind us of what we may have forgotten a little.

[cwicseolfor]

Do not forget.

I love it when people try to claim representation in fiction is being taken “too far” to the point where it’s no believable. They’re like: 

“What’s next, a mixed-race immigrant on the autism spectrum?” Hi, my name is Rachel, also known as Rachna, and I’m a mixed-race immigrant on the autism spectrum. 

“What’s next, a transgender Latino man with chronic pain?” What, you mean my former colleague, Marco? 

“What’s next, a Black Jewish lesbian?” Bitch, I know I three Black Jewish lesbians, WHAT’S YOUR FUCKING POINT?

everyone rb this with your identity a white dudebro would call forced diversity in the tags

[madlori]

people think they shouldn't vote as a protest or whatever because they've been raised on boycotts. which do sometimes work.

boycotts deprive the target of money.

not voting does not deprive the government of money.

it does, however, deprive you of power.

it's not like a boycott.

[clickbaitcowboy]

here since none of you know what a bear is

[tumblunni]

Srsly thats just a regular hunk. Bear is an important term cos there really wasn’t any word for “handsome heavyset man” before the LGBT community came along and opened our eyes to the truth. Calling skinny buff dudes bears is like all those douchebros who are like “i want a thicc gorl” *points to stick thin woman who just has big booby*

[villainous-queer-deactivated202]

THANK you. And originally it DID just mean fat hairy men exclusively, it was only later that ‘musclebears’ became a thing. But Bear was a reaction to the gay male culture’s obsession with what we now call a twink (which is, to whit: a thin, hairless, youthful man between 18-25), as well as a reaction to the idea that gay men had to be femme in order to be gay, as well as offering body positivity to gay men who were fat, which is an important distinction–Bear Pride is a gay male fat positivity movement/identity, that’s real important and we gotta not forget that, because that support and representation and pride is a protest against the part of gay culture that toxically commodifies male bodies and demands thinness and hairlessness.  /soapbox

anyway i am here for my bear brothers.

[judgejudyofficial]

now that we know the difference, bears please feel free to send me marriage proposals

what up your local trans bear sharing some background history

[batsarebetterthanpeople]

Additionally we do have a word for a thin hairy gay guy. It’s otter. You don’t need to steal words from fat people other words already exist

[slugshop]

Additionally additionally it would be lovely for us to remember that, yes, despite being fat and hairy ! bears are not the stoic / dominant /masculine alternative to sassy / submissive / feminine twinks and otters. The terms twink, otter, and bear are not meant to be a sliding scale from traditional femininity to masculinity as it pertains to heteronormative archetypes.

There are feminine bears, disabled bears, squeamish bears, gnc bears, sassy bears, regressing bears, completely submissive bears that will not top their partners, asexual/aromantic bears, transgender bears, bears who don’t want to be your stoic dom daddy; there is more diversity than I could have enough time to detail. All of them are vital to our community, and all of them matter.

When sorrow and difficulties strike hard, hope becomes the lone star in the dark sky. This is the story of Amira, a 23-year-old girl who found herself bearing the burden of her family after her father's death three years ago due to the coronavirus.

When sorrow and difficulties strike hard, hope becomes the lo… Abdallah Alanqar needs your support for Amira's Story: Between Hope and Resil

After my father's passing, I found myself taking care of my family, consisting of my mother, sister Noor, and brother Abdulrahman. My mother, suffering from high blood pressure and diabetes, faces health problems that further complicate their situation. But courage and determination drive Amira forward.

I worked as a teaching assistant at the university while pursuing a master's degree in data science, and also worked as a programmer in a company. My life was going smoothly until war came and destroyed everything.

My university, workplace, and home were completely destroyed, forcing them to flee south in search of a safe haven. Now, I and my family live in tents for displaced people in Deir al-Balah, where they suffer from water shortages and the spread of diseases, posing an additional challenge, especially for my immunocompromised mother.

This is a brief about our daily suffering.

Please help me, my mother, my sister and my brother to go out to treat my mother because she suffers from widespread diseases because her immunity is weak and help us to complete our educational journey, me and my brother

Doctors should snark at each other more, be a bit mean. Not for no reason, mind you. But if five doctors blow me off about symptoms and doctor number six FINALLY runs actual tests and gets a diagnosis, I think it should be Doctor Six's right to call up the other five and tell them they're lazy pieces of shit. That should be socially encouraged. Those first five doctors clearly can't listen to patients, but maybe another doctor might finally get to them.

happy juneteenth but dont forget that prisoners are legally allowed to be subject to slave labor and also black people are disproportionately arrested and subjected to that legality. happy juneteenth but slavery still lives in america. america is still dependant on slave labor.

[theconcealedweapon]

And this also means that police are still slave catchers.

i love how we say ‘these kids are on their ipads so much they can’t learn or read anymore. they can’t regulate emotions because of screentime, they are entitled. these kids are helpless, and can’t follow simple instructions. they are making teachers and parents miserable, our generation is doomed’

instead of ‘Multi Billion dollar profiteers Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Evan Spiegal, Bobby Murphy, Zhang Yiming, Vanguard Group Inc., Blackrock Group Inc., and Meta continue to fail in protecting children in a meaningful way from their products that have proven time and time again in scientific studies to cause debilitating cognitive harm and withdrawal symptoms in child and adolescent users. They have the technology and resources, but will choose not to as long as it remains legal because protecting children from their product means losing the revenue they generate. They are using children for profit despite the epidemic of its negative impact. They are raising our children to be socially inept consumers addicted to online escapism.’

we have this habit of being so nasty to the people impacted by the outcome of the problem rather than its direct cause cause.

we will find a way to be patient with you, because you deserve our patience. i’m sorry we noticed what happened before we noticed how
