I’ve been trying to share this since I found out. They are moving onto harassing people in Memphis.

Memphis is “under full-blown occupation” by ICE. Here’s why you may not know that.

Community members face retaliation for trying to spread the word out, a lawsuit alleges.

Everyone was lovely in getting the word out about Chicago and Minnesota. I want to spread that awareness for folk in tennessee.

the best thing about tumblr is that you can watch a show and then you come here and someone has made a gifset of it and you can put it on your blog like a sticker in a journal

Health classes really ought to teach people what the beginning stages of addiction are like because a lot of people don’t realize they’re addicted to something until they’re years deep into it.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Signs you might be getting addicted to something:

If you go without it you feel unwell in a way that you never usually feel unwell. Sweating, tired, sleepy, headaches, irritable, depressed, etc. For example when I was in opium withdrawal I got incredibly depressed in a way that I’ve never been before or since. When you quit caffeine you might get super bad headaches even if you never usually get any headaches.

Thoughts of it regularly bother you and the thoughts go away once you’ve taken it but only temporarily. Unlike with a food craving which usually stays away once you’ve satisfied it or distracted yourself from it.

You find yourself rationalizing with yourself why you should break your own rules about how much you can take and how often. For example you might only let yourself drink alcohol every four days but start thinking that three days is actually close enough to four days, right? Especially if this happens regularly.

You’re using it so often that you feel the need to lie about how much you use because other people might think it’s concerning

If the substance or activity is nearby it’s genuinely difficult to not consume it or participate in it in a way that’s really frustrating.

You feel bad when you’re not on it and your brain tells you “if you just take the thing you wouldn’t feel this way”

You can only feel “whole” or “normal” when you’re on a substance even though it’s a recreational drug

And if you read this and think you might be addicted to something, don’t panic and don’t feel ashamed. Realizing you’re addicted to something isn’t a failure. It’s more information about your health that you can use to manage your condition, whether you want to get rid of your addiction or not.

dying in a pickleball accident is so hilarious to me, that is almost worse than dying on the toilet

[byjove]

he looks like the kind of guy to die in a freak pickleball accident

[byjove]

If they are assassinated, the right gets to treat them like a martyr and use it as further justification to oppress dissidents. If they die in a freak pickleball accident, the right is too busy telling people it is not funny to actually do anything.

And to the upcoming All-Star Game in Tampa Bay... Major League Hockey fans are finally getting what they've been asking for years: East versus West. Which means a chance for something we've never seen before: Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov playing on the same team, maybe even the same line.

ilya showing how much he loves shane in front of his parents will always make me cry. he does it without hesitation. comforting him, speaking so easily and openly about their relationship, "you would leave boston for shane" "yes". he is the loverboy of all time. he's meant to be on the verge of tears with love, eating pasta at his in-laws. this is what he was meant for. the uninhibited displays of emotion and vulnerability and how none of it seems to phase him, none of it is forced. he has wanted a chance to love shane so openly and he's been given it and he is taking it all.

[gil-estel]

literally all I could think about while shane and yuna were having their Moment
