So the witches take it one step too far, and now Dean is stuck with a person instead of a car, and what the fuck is he supposed to do about that? Or the one where Dean realizes exactly what the Impala means to him.

Friendly reminder that THIS girl is one of the best people I've ever met in the entire world. And she is a much better person than a lot of people. And I love her a lot.

Did you really have to uncritically reblog that post by murderathogwarts? People have a right to not associate with people who make oppressive statements. There's nothing wrong with that.

Of course there’s nothing wrong with that.

But if everyone in the world didn’t associate with those who make oppressive statements, well, everyone in the world would be a hermit.

The point of the post isn’t that people should always hang around those who constantly make oppressive statements. The point of the post is saying that many people do not realize what they are saying is offensive. It takes patience and lots of education in order to make that change.

A quote from her post:

"Look. I am by no means justifying saying things like this. I already said that. And I recognize the difference between making a mistake and intentionally saying something hurtful and offensive.”

Four years ago, I was making oppressive statements. Hell, this time last year I was making oppressive statements. But because people took the time to educate me, I realized my words were wrong and that I needed to fix it.

I found no reason to criticize that post; she made her disclaimer in the beginning and then restated it again at the end. Nowhere in her post did she say people are required to associate with others who speak oppressively.

There is nothing wrong with educating others in a patient manner.

hey yo everyone reblogging this post can yall stop yes, educating people that shit they've said was bigotry is nice and it's true that most people are not really socially aware of certain things being sexist, or racist, or whatever and some people do actually listen when you talk to them but that post pulls off some false equivalence bullshit by basically saying "IF YOU'RE NOT EDUCATING PEOPLE YOU'RE AS BAD AS THE BIGOTS" and that shit is fucked up and completely untrue. it is NOT anyone's god-given duty to educate people on pointing out they're being bigots and why are they being bigots especially if 90% of the times the response will be "psshh you're being a bummer" or "i'm not REALLY offending you" or "you're just CHOOSING to be offended", or, worse, having a very real risk of violence towards me because I might have to explain to someone that I am transgender & they might be complete nasty fucking transphobes. I can completely choose to prefer not to associate with someone who did a shitty thing and made me feel really bad or be on my guard about it, especially if I am from a minority in which the bigotry is being targetted at because the person MIGHT REALLY BE A BIGOT. And, yes, murderathogwarts, this is one of the first things i worry about because i am transgender and I plan to transition soon. I worry about literally every single person that might be a potential friend regard bigotry because I do not want to be bullied, demeaned or have something worse happen to me because I'll have to come out to them as trans one day. It's really nice that you and a lot of other people don't have to worry about that, but I have to, so please fuck off. So please stop reblogging that because it is really bad advice, especially for the safety of people who are targetted by bigotry. Educating people & calling them out and giving them a chance is great, but don't act like it's my obligation to do so or if I'm being a bad person for not doing that especially when I worry for my own personal happiness and safety. Information is out there and anyone can get it especially with the internet, it is NOT anyone's fault but yours if you did a shitty thing.

murderathogwarts replied to your post: trying to figure out how to discreetly read...

get a pencil or something and start scribbling all over it - treat it like an article you’re reading for school. also, practice your Grumpy Face. this repels the humans.

i might try this but the people i work with are nosy little fuckers so im basically screwed

I remember when I first started watching Supernatural and the first thing out of my mouth was "it can't be as painful as they all say everyone is just exaggerating"
