I got hella emails about people following me. Turns out that one post is going around again and hit over a quarter million notes by now. Tumblr is weird.

I get sick of tumblr’s version of self care, which 90% of the time threads into this beautifully: go pet a fuzzy cute animal! pile up your favorite blankets from childhood and watch disney movies! take a nap! play a game from this list of cute soothings games! 

More realistically: go take a shower because it’s been three days. Wash the dishes that have been in the sink since last Friday that you can smell as soon as you open your door because rotting food stinks. Pick all your clothes off the floor because that’s where your entire wardrobe is and you’ve already cried today because you tripped over a sweater and realized the cat puked on it. Call someone who can give you enough courage to pay that bill you’ve been ignoring. Put away the crackers because that’s all you’ve eaten for two days straight. Apologize to the friends who are worried sick about you, and if you can’t at least let them know you are ok and need space. 

One of the most empowering types of self-care is responsibility, but tumblr just wants to sit in a closet strung with fairy lights and read their favorite fic.  

“Cute” self-care for “cute” mental issues. That’s not reality.

My least favorite thing is straight men who come into lush and act like it’s a direct attack on their manhood coming up to me like “I’m in here for my girlfriend” ok thanks for confirming your heterosexuality everyone who likes soap is usually gay

[hominishostilis]

Because shaming dudes for even DARING to be EVER mildly insecure about ANYTHING in a society that regularly shames men who step out of their gender roles is TOTES gonna help, YEP. 

Or was this just another attempt to stroke each other’s egos because you’re insecure. 

You know what my least favorite thing is? Idiotic muppets, desperate for notes, who make posts about things literally every other fucking person does, but then tacking on “white straight men” and acting like it’s just the funniest thing you’ve ever heard. 

My best buddy in middleschool? Super insecure about his masculinity - probably had something to do with him actually being gay, but that didn’t come out until later. Anyway, he’d say or do things like this, a lot. And people picked up on it, and constantly made fun of him for doing “manly things”, saying he was just compensating. When he finally did come out, it got worse. Because the truth was that sure, he was gay, but he wasn’t the flamboyant kind - he was just dude who liked dudes, loved Mortal Kombat (and kicked my ass at it regularly), and was insecure, GOD FORBID. Probably depressed too, but after years of being teased the guy locked down like a bank vault. Never could get him to talk about it. We moved away when I was about 12, we kept in touch as much as we could but over the years I guess it got harder. 

He stuck a gun in his mouth and killed himself two years ago. His three year old brother found him. 

You don’t know shit about that guy walking into your store. You don’t know shit. You don’t know who he is, or where he’s at, or what he’s dealing with - but hey, he’s a dude, and he’s “straight”, so have at’em right? HUR HUR.

Scream for days about never ever ever ever ever putting a girl down or making her feel like shit, but you’ll make 60 posts a week like this, won’t you? Fucking pricks.

Yes pray for Paris but also pray for Mexico, Pray for Lebanon, Pray for Japan. Pray for all the countries that are facing hardship and not just the white european ones.

Teach children that there’s nothing wrong with this

[ginzers]

I’m really not understanding why you think cultural appropriation would be ok, unless you are assuming that the girl in the picture is part Japanese.

[princess-roxxi-remade-deactivat]

Yellow face yet she’s using white makeup in the traditional style but okay.

Cultural appropriation isn’t a thing, hon. ☺️ Cultures should be shared by all means.

[ginzers]

I disagree. The makeup is clearly reflective of traditional Geisha makeup which is yellowface and therefore racist. Furthermore, the girl is wearing a kimono, a garment that has for ages carried cultural significance. Assuming that she is white how can you think this is ok? And cultural appropriation isn’t a thing? What rock do you live under? I suggest you educate yourself on the differences between cultural appreciation and cultural appropriation.

[cheshireinthemiddle]

I am japanese, in japan at this very moment. The only people who think culture shouldnt be shared are racists like you.

A vast majority of Japanese people actually enjoy other people making an effort to spread and enjoy japanese culture, and encourage it. Many make businesses in deliberately taking pictures of people in kimono. A common omiage (gift) for foreigners from japanese people is traditional japanese things such as kimonos, tea seats, shisa dog statues, ect.

And to top it off, basically 80 percent of japanese customs, traditions, and food, came from other countries. Japanese is an integration of different cultures, like america. Japan takes influences from places like korea, china, russia, and europe. If japan stuck to itself, there would be no tempura, japanese tea, tea ceremonies, kabuki, japanese bread, japanese curry, j- pop, anime, cars, or modern fishing techniques. The picture is not “yellow face” they are not making fun of asians. In fact, it looks like they put extra care and research into their work.

The only reason that you have a problem with this is because that little girl is white and you know that it is acceptable on tumblr to crap all over white people. The only racist here is you.

Huckabee Earns Nickel For Presidential Campaign By Painting Old Widow’s Picket Fence

STAMPS, AR—Whistling “Hail To The Chief” as he flipped the coin into the air and caught it in his palm, Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee confirmed Friday that he had earned a nickel for his campaign by painting an elderly widow’s picket fence. “Hoo golly, when Ol’ Widow Parker said she’d pay me to whitewash her fence, I was nearabout gladder than a possum in a punkin patch,” said a smiling Huckabee, kissing the nickel before dropping it into an empty mayonnaise jar with the letters “PAC” scrawled on the side.
