I know I come from a place of privilege, being from California (born and raised) but seeing the amount of people put their own fucking wallets over the rights of their daughters/sons, nieces/nephews, or even sisters/brothers is infuriating. Imagine caring more about the price of gas than the rights of every girl/woman, the education of our youth, and the welfare of our elders. The disappointment and heartbreak Iâm sure is shared.
i mean this in the meanest way possible, if you as a leftist, in an attempt to 'punish' the democrats, either didn't vote or voted for a third party, go fuck yourself. you chose your own self righteousness over actually doing good.
This man took so much longer to crack than I would have what a PROFESSIONAL
Plotting, scheming, etc.
I am weeping đđ¤Łđđ¤Ł

sorry but if your bed isnât against at least one wall youâre not valid
I used to think this post was stupid because most people like both sides of the bed free but then I realized some psychopaths put their bed like this so not even the headboard is against a wall and this post is about these animals.
A single personâs bed is generally against 2 walls, a coupleâs bed is generally against 1 wall, and people with 0 walls have no fear of the dark/unseen with direct access to their head, and therefore cannot be human.
ok the bed just out in the middle of the room is bad but have you considered: only the footboard end against a wall
no i hadnât. why would you put that image into my head?
Okay, but how is this
Iâm at a loss for words
This was the bed of Thomas Jefferson.Â
STay out of my study unless you intend to have sex with me
BACK UP, YOU CANT JUST CHANGE THE SUBJECT TO THOMASâ FUNKY BED SET UP AFTER JUST LOSS-ING TUMBLR LIKE THAT

âI hate fandom, itâs everywhere on this site,â Sir (gender-neutral) this is Tumblr, aka the Dennyâs parking lot at 3 am of websites.
Of course, fandom is everywhere. Their tagline on the app store used to be âthe home of fandom.â Youâre the one who walked in here, you can walk yourself right back out.
Do we need to remind people of Tumblrman?
God, Iâd somehow forgotten this existed. What a cursed time to be reminded of it.
i had to trace over him and yes he DOES look like kevin bacon with a bad mullet:
ah yes, here he is, dr. harrstiel sherloki tumblrman.

This is why I have this. Even if they can get the lock opened they canât push the door open. Got it at Lowes for $20.
reblog for that last bit to save a life
Reblog this within 10 seconds and unexpected extra money will cum to you this week
The money will do what now
If you let go of Sweeneyâs coin or his ashes, you will be acknowledging the harsh reality that he is dead. And you will have to grieve. And it will hurt. But itâs the only way for you to move on.
Once my friend Henry was accused of wearing wireless headphones by a substitute so she said for him to hand them over so he took them off and handed them to her. Then later on she asked him a question and he didnât respond so she said it louder and he still didnât respond. She asked why he was not responding and he said âI canât understand you ma'am, you took my hearing aids.â
HOLY SHIT
one time we had a sub that was handing back papers and called my name. I asked if someone could grab it for me and she started mocking me for not even standing up. taunting me asking why I was not walking up to the front to get the paper myself.
my classmates went dead silent and after the subâs laughter ended someone informed her that the wheelchair parked nearby belonged to me
My sister once had her insulin pump ripped off of her because her exam proctor (a sub) thought it was some cheating device. He soon figured out that it was, in fact, not, when the port on her side (the place the needle goes in) started bleeding through her shirt. Her pump started beeping frantically, because thatâs what it does, and it was general chaos until my sister ripped whatâs basically her pancreas out of his hands, told her friend âLet the next proctor know Iâll need extra time,â and walked out of the room towards the nurse.
Literally schools are shit with disabilities. In elementary school I was having a high blood sugar reaction(cold sweats to rapid passing in and out of consciousness, vomiting and finally leading to a massive seizure before you die) and I KNEW I had to go to the nurse cuz I was getting worse. Kept telling my teach I needed to go and he kept saying no till finally I felt myself about to throw up and Iâm screaming LET ME GO (i was a little kid to me i couldnt do anything in an institution without an adults say so or id basically go to hell) and the bitch said SHUT YOUR DAMN MOUTH AND PAY ATTENTION TO THE LESSON where I proceeded to projectile vomit all over my desk and he jut kept going on with the lesson. Finally I just booked it out of the room but I was too far gone to even REMEMBER where the nurses office was let alone where the hell I was that my class literally just left and helped me to the nurses office. I immediately went to the hospital and officially died for 5 minutes before I was revived. I could have stayed dead all because some fuck twad thought his lesson was more important than a students life
After Columbine, a local school installed metal detectors and made everyone walk through them and put their bags on a table for a teacher to search.Â
A few days into the school year, a teacher ripped a boyâs insulin pump off him because she thought it was a weapon, despite he and his sister insisting it was an insulin pump and he needed it to live.Â
I donât know how many of you are still in school but I have some valuable knowledge that might actually help with this problem! In the United States thereâs this thing called a 504 Plan that you can get which basically gives you legal protection from disability/chronic illness discrimination in public schools.Â
Students can qualify for 504 plans if they have physical or mental impairments that affect or limit any of their abilities to: walk, breathe, eat, or sleep; communicate, see, hear, or speak; read, concentrate, think, or learn; stand, bend, lift, or work
 Examples of accommodations in 504 plans include: preferential seating, extended time on tests and assignments, reduced homework or classwork, verbal, visual, or technology aids, modified textbooks or audio-video materials, behavior management support, adjusted class schedules or grading, verbal testing, excused lateness, absence, or missed classwork
 Iâm a type one diabetic and my school nurse would do stuff like keep all my meds in a locked cabinet, not let me take my insulin or test my blood sugar unless she was watching me, and lie to my mother about me inducing low blood sugars in order to get out of class. She wouldnât even let me keep glucagon (emergency sugar injection) on my person in case I passed out from low blood sugar.Â
 So one day I casually mentioned all this to my endocrinologist and she was really mad. She was really angry at the school nurse for mistreating me like that and informed me of this thing called a 504 plan. A 504 plan protects students with disabilities and chronic illnesses from discrimination by outlining exactly what a student needs to meet their special needs. For me, this meant I had to be able to keep ahold of my own meds in case of emergency and keep track of my own glucose levels, that I would never be marked late for a class if I was busy treating a low, and I could pause the clock on a standardized test to check my blood sugar and treat it. If you have a disability and youâre still attending public school, PLEASE read up on 504 plans because they saved me so much grief when I was still in school. It might help you too. Hereâs some more information about 504 plans:

Passing this along. I would not have made it this far without my disability documentation in school.
Same, I was literally bedbound for nearly a year and I just never would have completely high school, or really even started, if I hadnât had an IEP and 504.
Reblogging to add that 504s are for MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES AS WELL. Our school has many kids with anxiety and depression and they all have 504s or are being evaluated for 504s. Iâm a teacher and Iâve been working exclusively with special ed kids for the last several months, despite it not being technically my area, so Iâve had to pick up a lot that Iâd forgotten from my special ed teaching classes really quickly. Lol

Never not reblog.
The best thing is that you can see Keira preparing to internalize/ignore it, and Benedict speaking up gives her the opportunity to not do that. Her eyes close, then she smiles, nods, and lets it go, and thatâs beautiful.Â
you know whatâs really genuinely unsettling? the degree to which men fucking do not want to sympathize with/be interested in women.
male audiences will happily watch a dozen superhero shows, but then something like Agent Carter or Supergirl turn up and theyâre panned from the first trailer and have to struggle for ratings. male audiences will watch countless installments of a franchise as long as itâs about men doing man things but the second a character like Rey or Furiosa or god forbid four entire female Ghostbusters steps up and takes a position of prominence itâs âpandering sjw bullshitâ.
itâs not pandering. men just aggressively donât want to have to be invested in a womanâs narrative and itâs really gross.
anyway re: everyone telling me to âStop making this a gender thingâ or some variation on that
this isnât like⌠an opinion Iâm pulling out of my ass here? this starts where earlier than tv shows and hollywood blockbusters, when all the kids in a class are reading Harry Potter or Percy Jackson or Eragon o Lord of the Rings or Maze Runner or whatever the hip book is right now. the books like that, the ones that become popular reading, are overwhelmingly about male leads, because male is still considered the default.Â
thereâs a split in YA literature, between books that are âfor everyoneâ and âfor girlsâ, and thatâs honestly the entire issue in a tiny little box right there. stories about men are supposed to be accessible for everyone, but stories about girls are seen as 1.) inherently for women and 2.) something that only women will care about.
men grow up in a society that doesnât make them go out of their way to get into the heads of women and empathize with then. historically itâs been very easy for men to not engage with female-led media if they donât want to, whereas (like someone else commented on this post) girls and women have had very little choice in the past because everything was about men. we didnât even question it.
and now the women are arriving in mainstream media in ways that say theyâre important and they matter and
small (or sometimes not so small) but loud-enough-to-be-acknowledged groups of men lose. their. shit.
because they think thereâs something inherently Not For Them about a womanâs story, and they never learned how to deal with it.
(also once again, because  LOT of yaâll donât seem to get this here: Iâm trying to talk about knee-jerk reactions to female-centered works - often before they even come out. not whether or not you personally thought [x show or movie] was good. ya feel?)
i donât think iâve ever read a single post that iâve agreed with so totally and so immediately and hereâs why:
i love books, right? and from the ages of about 11-15 i was insanely invested in teenage/ya fantasy and sci-fi. harry potter, percy jackson, all of the books op listed above- and one of the things that made those books so great was that you could have a conversation about them with anyone! a lot of the guys in my class also loved this type of genre and iâd often talk about books with them (even my own brother has read all of the books listed above) weâd have long, interesting conversations about these books and it was great.
but then iâd mention something about the hunger games, or the divergent series, or uglies, the raven cycle, mara dyer, the mortal instruments, the selection, etc. and the response would always be the same: either âi havenât read itâ or âi couldnât get into itâ or âit doesnât seem like my type of thingâ
even outside of the ya genre, looking at something like contemporary fiction or whatever- do you know how many guys will talk endlessly about the great gatsby or catcher in the rye or any other male-centric novel? but when you bring up something as influential as pride and prejudice or jane eyre or practically /anything/ written by/focused around a woman- you get the same responses as before
society has made it so that women have no choice whether to engage with male-centric stories or not: from children, a big portion of the media we consume focuses on the male perspective and like,,, thatâs not necessarily a bad thing /in itself/- the bad thing is that it doesnât work both ways and itâs not an even split. whereas young girls are surrounded by and expected to empathise with films/books/media concerning men, itâs not the same for young boys: they have narratives that either focus entirely or largely around them.Â
women have no trouble consuming media that focuses on a male narrative because itâs been labelled as the default, the ânormalâ- whereas men struggle to watch/read anything that doesnât focus around them because theyâve never /had/ to.
My brother had a very weird opinion on itâŚhe said if youâre okay with the size of your dick, you can watch anything, but if youâre insecure about it, you live in constant fear of of other men finding out that you might have enjoyed something âgirlyââŚI donât know how true it is but as soon as he said it all the guys in his hostel wing (dorm) instantly stopped making fun of his vampire diaries obsession and started confessing to all the âgirlyâ shows, movies, and songs they also consume in secret.
i just read a washington post article on romcoms aging poorly due to the pushiness (and oft-stalkery conduct) of the male characters therein, and it got me thinking about pride and prejudice, and specifically darcy saying, âone word from you will silence me on this subject forever.â
because, like, thatâs the seldom-portrayed romantic dream in the patriarchal hellscape that is our world, isnât it?
a dude being willing to say, âi understand if you donât feel the same way about me, and iâll leave you alone forever about this if my attention is unwanted.â
so simple, yet so wonderful in its basic human decency
and dudes to this day wonder why women still swoon over darcy
Note also: Elizabeth turns down Darcyâs first proposal, and in the process, accuses him of doing some stuff he did not do (and also some stuff he totally did).
The next day, he surprises her on her walk. He hands her a letter, asks that she read it, and then takes off.
When this happened to me after I had turned someone down IN REAL LIFE, the letter contained a passionate argument to the tune of âactually youâre wrong and you do like me and you should go out with meâ and it was creepy af.
Darcyâs letter to Elizabeth starts with: âBe not alarmed, Madam, on receiving this letter, by the apprehension of its containing any repetition of those sentiments, or renewal of those offers, which were last night so disgusting to youâ. He goes on to set the record straight about the stuff he didnât do (as well as the stuff he did) which is *actually relevant* to Elizabeth. And he, as promised, doesnât romance her further.
Itâs totally bizarre that even now, this can be considered unusually great dude behaviour.
Darcyâs first proposal:Â âYou must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.â
Darcyâs second proposal:Â âOne word from you will silence me on this subject forever.â
His whole arc in the book is about learning to consider other peopleâs feelings and not just his own, but the fact that itâs expressed via who gets to talk and who is told to shut up is so, so telling. The first time around, he imposes his voice on her whether she wants it or not. The second time, he asks how she feels, and in exchange, offers her the gift of his silence.
And yeah, the fact that dudes still! have! not! learned! this! lesson! is exhausting.
How surprising is it that Pride and Prejudice was written by a woman, when many romantic comedies are produced and directed by men?
Answer: not at all
200 years later and the world is still full of guys who think theyâre a Mr Darcy when theyâre actually a Mr Collins.
