Sometimes people use “respect” to mean “treating someone like a person” and sometimes they use “respect” to mean “treating someone like an authority”

and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say “if you won’t respect me I won’t respect you” and they mean “if you won’t treat me like an authority I won’t treat you like a person”

and they think they’re being fair but they aren’t, and it’s not okay.

Don’t read the comments on this article. The kid did it because he was learning about how teenage girls suffer from depression more than any other age group, and didn’t want any girls going home feeling sad on Valentine’s Day. Ofc half the comments are like “what an EPIC playa, bet he got some action after that hahaha” or “why do these special snowflakes need a handout like this” or “what kind of Richie Rich kid” (chocolate company donated the boxes after learning why he wanted so much) Like… why is humanity like this

THIS BURNS MY BACON, LET ME SHARE WHY.

At the school where I work, we had a similar lovely Valentine’s moment:

One of our seniors bought hundreds of roses on Valentine’s Day. Every girl in every grade got one; there were enough left over for staff and extras for others who might want one. This is our library bouquet.

One year ago, our school lost a student to suicide. As Valentine’s Day was approaching, this sad anniversary was all our student body was talking about and remembering. This senior student decided to try to lift us up from that narrative, and literally fill the halls with flowers. The surprise was carried out flawlessly – even his own sister didn’t know what he was about to do.

I have rarely seen a happier school holiday.

I’ve seen EXACTLY those comments on social media about what happened with us, and about similar gestures from high school students. Lots of “spoiled kids with money”, lots of “this is just to get laid”.

I don’t think this diminishes my senior student or his gesture at all, but it diminishes us when good things happen and we turn around and reduce these moments to their most cynical interpretation. And that’s not even touching on what it says when people feel the need to belittle younger people for trying to do good; the kids can’t catch a break from some people.

Can’t we take sweet things at face value the way we do all the darkness out there lately?

There's nothing wrong with sex, people.

thechroniclesofrin

- Having sex every day. - Saving sex for your wedding night. - Never having sex. - Having sex with different people. - Having sex with one person. - Having sex with a person of your same gender. - Loving sex. - Hating sex. - Being loud. - Being quiet.

The only thing wrong with sex?

When it’s not consensual.

Because that’s not sex. That’s rape.

Astrology Reverie

Aries: They like their own space, they don’t like people standing over their shoulder commentating or backseat drivers. They are in control of their own lives and they want you to respect that, but they still want you there and they secretly energise from your support

Taurus: Sometimes their absence is as noticeable as their presence because they carry such immense cosmic weight that enhances the senses, their voice can fill the room with bells. They can have trouble with periods and fluid retention

Gemini: Geminis are so light on their feet it can be impossible to hear them creep up on you til they get close and startle you. They can also smell like nothing, as in, smell like air and have paper thin skin that reveals their veins like a story

Cancer: Parting with money can be difficult because they are unsettled without good physical, emotional, and financial assurance. Cancer is a cardinal sign, and wounding a Cancer is like committing a cardinal sin against them, they won’t forget a detail, find it difficult to apologise because their feelings were truth at the time. They can be very ticklish

Leo: Leo leaves an afterglow wherever they go. Their presence is commanding and the sun in everybody bows in honour. There can be relentless obsession and fanaticism in Leo and it seems to be all or nothing. They can be grand perfectionists, workaholics, and lovers. There is nothing sadder than a miserable Leo

Virgo: Virgos have a natural sarcasm reflex and they can feel very offended when you comment that they feel unwell or tired. Their sharp and informative mind can be refreshing and insightful. You can become almost too comfortable with a Virgo friend because they can repair, open things, and do everything fiddly that you can’t

Libra: Libras are great storytellers. They like to tell jokes with stories but take forever to get to the punchline. They can also have a surprisingly high pain tolerance and ignore niggling colds until they become very ill. There are 2 minds working at once with Libra, an ideal imagination and a very rational and controlled mind

Scorpio: Scorpio is known for mood swings, but their highs can sink into the intensity of their lows, so its very possible for Scorpio to confidently calculate grand schemes, plans for travel, and experience powerful impassioned emotion, love, and appreciation for friends, family, and lovers

Sagittarius: It can be difficult to predict how a Sagittarius will respond to any situation. Sometimes will reply with laughter, excitement, and interest. And sometimes they react with slicing seriousness and a disapproving lecture

Capricorn: Capricorns constantly negotiate the internal conflict between public and professional exposure with their great need for privacy and recluse. They will talk a blue streak about subjects of interest, and they like the company of intelligent people. But they refuse to summon the energy to participate in a boring, bland, or uninformed conversation

Aquarius: Aquarians can save the day with their ability to think outside the box. They naturally expand your network through friends and friends of friends, and like to bring people with shared interests together

Pisces: They can manipulate people to succumbing without noticing or trying. It’s easy for Pisces to crawl into the soft and sensitive place inside others, because they people typically underestimate them and let down their guards

Mugshot of John Wojtowicz who was sentenced to 20 years in prison for robbing a bank in order to fund his partners sex change. August 23rd 1972, New York

also when they made dog day afternoon and bought the rights to his story he used the money to help fund edens surgery so he ended up able to help after all (after serving six years in prison for the heist)

jackmarlowe

other great facts:

- he based his bank robbery plan off The Godfather and Al Pacino ended up playing him and John Cazale played his accomplice - referred to himself as ‘the gay Babe Ruth’ - when he got out of jail he applied for a job as a security guard at the same bank with a T-shirt that said ‘I robbed this bank’ and put Al Pacino down as a reference - the robbery attempt was broadcast on TV and a crowd of LGBTQ activists came to cheer him on

Petition to change “he looked at her like she was the sun” to “he looked at her like she was the moon” and any other variation bc I look at the moon in wonder and love and amazement while I’ve only ever just squinted angrily at the sun

louisamayanniecat

He looked at her like she was the sun, in that he never looked at her except in frustration. He basked in her warmth, he complained when she was gone, but he never looked. On days she was muted, he complained. On days she was stronger, he hid from her. He never looked at her until she was leaving, and in the beauty of the sunset he wondered how he’d never seen her before.

Charities/organisations to avoid:

PETA: They’d rather spend their money on publicity campaigns than on the animals in their care. PETA killed 73.8% of the animals in their care in 2015 (x)

FCKH8: Is a for-profit company that exploits oppressed groups for money. They’re also wildly uninformed, and spread misogyny, cissexism and bi/panphobia, as well as stealing their posts/designs (x)

Autism Speaks: They spend most of their money on researching a way to eliminate autism, heighten the stigma against autism and don’t have a single autistic person on their board (x)

Please support other, better charities, and feel free to add any others you can think of to this.

Susan G. Komen for the Cure: CEO makes insane amounts of money, they deny a lot of requests for wigs/help with treatment/etc., and have attempted to sue other charities that use the color pink as part of their anti-breast cancer campaign. ( x x x )

reproductivejusticeandliberty

The Salvation Army: They promote the hatred of LGBT+ people, work with fundamentalist Christian groups to support conservative politics and rip off and exploit workers. ( x x x )

Wounded Warrior: They take money that should be spent on veterans and blow it on huge opulent parties for the company bigwigs. 26 million in 2014 alone wasted! ( x x x )

A good way to know if a nonprofit you’re donating to is allocating their money in the right way is to check out their Charity Navigator rating: http://www.charitynavigator.org

More fun facts about ancient Celtic marriage laws: There were no laws against interclass or interracial marriage, no laws against open homosexual relationships (although they weren’t considered ‘marriages’ since the definition of a marriage was ‘couple with child’), no requirement for women to take their husband’s names or give up their property, but comedians couldn’t get married

It’s Adam and Eve not Adam Sandler and Eve

I want to expound upon “comedians couldn’t get married” thing because it’s actually really interesting. Satire was respected in Ancient Ireland. It was thought to have great power, enough to physically maim the subject one was making jokes about. Satirists could bring down kings with a witty enough insult. That was actually their original function. When the king didn’t do right by his people, a bard was supposed to compose a poem so scathing it would raise welts on the king’s skin to oust him (it was illegal for a “blemished” king to rule.) Unwarranted satire was considered a form of assault. So what it boils down to is ancient Celts being like “These people are too dangerous to reproduce. DO NOT TRUST THEM WITH CHILDREN. EVER.”
