We say we love flowers, yet we pluck them. We say we love trees, yet we cut them down. And people still wonder why some are afraid when told they are loved.

If you end up with a boring, miserable life because you listened to your mom, your dad, your teacher, your priest, or some guy on television telling you how to do your shit, then you deserve it.

It really, REALLY bothers me when I hear people frame climate change and other environmental crises as something that everyday, average-ass people are responsible for, and not corporations and entire governments. 

Like literally, how can a regular-ass person ~opt out~ of all damaging behaviors while still being able to function in society? 

You literally can’t. 

The future of our planet is not down to whether or not someone recycles their water bottle. 

It’s down to whether or not governments and corporations decide to quit sucking up all our resources and poisoning the earth with reckless abandon. 

I mean obviously people should still live as cleanly and as sustainably as they can manage where they are and with what they have, but like. THAT isn’t the major issue.

govts and corporations have deliberately put the onus on yr individual choices so the system can continue being as destructive/profitable

[sopphistries-deactivated2016080]

God bless this post this pisses me off so much Also this hyper-individualist shift of responsibility is largely an American thing and consumerism is framed as a solution- e.g., buy more shit that’s sustainable! That’ll fix the problem (buy a new, green water bottle! buy a new, green car! buy a new, green whatever-the-fuck that’ll just ultimately produce more waste)!

I took a course in sustainable engineering.

The professor mentioned that even if every private individual in the world were to conserve resources and the environment the ol’ Jimmy Carter way- by turning down the thermostat, recycling your glass and plastics and metals, cut down on luxuries, take shorter showers, etc., it would only get us 10% of the way to where we need to be in order to avoid global catastrophic climate change.

The vast majority of freshwater use is from industry and agriculture. http://www.worldometers.info/water/ 

The vast majority of CO2 emissions is from industrial and electrical generation sites and associated vehicles. http://www3.epa.gov/climatechange/ghgemissions/gases/co2.html

Private individuals hardly make a dent, even in ideal conditions.

My high school mascot was the Farmers, but we were kind of a theater-heavy school.

Disgusting

Is it true that thespians hold satanic rituals and offer blood sacrifices before every show?

[societalnormswillfuckusall]

Yes

It is fucked up that 17 year olds have resorted to aderall and a copious amount of energy drinks and coffee in order to graduate high school that's bull shit

Depression is not Lana Del Rey music, with smeared black eyeliner and tears running down your face. It is not a blood-stained tub, or the blade sitting across from you. It is not being rocked back and forth by a boy as he kisses your head and whispers “I love you,” repeatedly in your ear. Depression is not the dread you feel when the person you love the most doesn’t text you back. Depression is disgusting. It is low and filthy and dirty and it eats you away, bit by bit. Depression is the stale smell of your room and your clothes, because you have no energy to clean anything. It is sitting in the bathtub for hours as you feel that dirty type of clean, letting the hot water run down your body in no aims to stand up and turn it off. It is the hunch in your back and the the defeated slouch in your shoulders, the kind that your parents always try to fix, exclaiming “Sit up straight,” but what good does that ever do. Depression is the hours spent lying in your bed, trying desperately to fall asleep but never being able to. It is your eyes being so heavy-lidded and the circles under them that don’t fade, even after a good nights sleep. Depression is the sinking feeling you get when you enter school and your mind is already set - why would you care about your grades when you don’t even care about your life? It is the darkest kind of dark, the kind that intoxicates your brain and turns your best friends to enemies, your family to people you simply push away so they don’t have to hurt just because you do. It is the raw feeling of emptiness, the kind that gnaws at your very insides and leaves you nothing more than a walking skeleton, incapacitated and incapable of feeling anything but sorrow and sadness for nobody but yourself. Depression is the deepest hole you could ever think of, the only one you could ever think of because you dug it yourself. It is being not only unable, but unwilling to pull yourself up, having the darkness swallow you whole. Depression is not rain. It is being unable to see the sun, even after the rain has passed.

It is 2015. Stop romanticizing depression. (via lighthowell)

Maybe the next time he moves too close to you and says, “It’s okay, I don’t bite”, bear your teeth and let him know that you do. Maybe the next time he tells you “You aren’t made of magic,” take the sunlight from your skin and blind him. Maybe next time he touches you with hate, ball up your fist with his darkness and give it back to him. You don’t have any room for it anymore. He needs to learn that you’ve always been a wolf, and you’ve shed your sheep skin for the final time.

More people are concerned with why women stay in abusive relationships than why men are abusing women

[just-shower-thoughts]

If your wife has a friend that annoys you, don’t tell your wife to stop being friends with her. Just casually mention how pretty she is.

[witwitch-deactivated20160508]

what the fuck

“I’m going to emotionally manipulate my wife and make her feel insecure for my own benefit, and also ruin one of my wife’s friendships”

I hope your wife fucking divorces you and takes everything you have because you’re a piece of trash

on the topic of CSA:

as a child, up until the age of 17, i was sexually abused by my grandfather. upon discovering this fact about me, a question i often here is “why didn’t you tell sooner? why did you wait 17 years?” 

and the answer to that is always, i simply didn’t know better. and that is the problem. childhood sexual assault victims often don’t know they are being abused. in fact, their abusers will use tactics such as gaslighting and threats, to keep themselves from being outed.

children often do not have the means to protect themselves or spot a dangerous situation, and as adults, it is our responsibility to watch out for warning signs, and to be conscious of our own actions. it may be an uncomfortable topic to discuss and educate yourself about, but trust me, it is an absolute NIGHTMARE for the children living through it. below are a few resources to get you started. 

warning signs of a potentially dangerous adult: (x) (x)

encourages child to keep secrets

insists on physical contact (hugging, kissing, etc) even if child is visibly uncomfortable

will try to make the child feel older (compliment their maturity)

will share personal information and seek consolation from children rather than adults

insists on alone time with children

is overly involved with child’s developing sexualities

gives children toys, money, and other gifts for seemingly no reason

if you are a minor and being sexually abused, the following hotlines are dedicated to helping you:

DARKNESS TO LIGHT HOTLINE: [phone] RAINN: 1-800-656-4673

if you are concerned that a child you know may be in danger of being sexually abused, this is a list of potential warning signs. you can call the following hotline for more advice.

STOP IT NOW: 1-888-PREVENT 

if you are in immediate danger, call your local emergency number.

and from what survivor to another: what your abuser did to you is not your fault. as a minor, it is the responsibility of the adult to keep you safe and out of harms way. they failed you. you are not dirty. you are not disgusting. you were hurt in an unfair way. you will make it through this.

i really hate the effect our hypersexualized society has on young girls. do you know how fucked up it is for an 11 year old girl to be scared of heterosexual sex because she thinks its inevitable? when i was 11, guys told me it would be painful, that penetration was mandatory, and that guys will want blowjobs. when i said i didnt want to do that ever, everyone made fun of me, and my parents told me i’d want that when i got older. guys always look forward to sex but little girls not even in their teens yet are anticipating it in fear because they think it’s mandatory for them to experience pain and humiliation to please men honestly what the fuuuck
