I Have A Student Gov Problem

[zaneetaschool]

I return briefly from the depths of college to present my entrance to Hollywood U because watching people walk down the carpet with lights is my new fave.

Can we talk about how Hairspray is a story where a not-conventionally-attractive girl gets the hot guy in the end without having to Become “Pretty.” Because we need more stories like that.

[biproduct]

It’s also story about breaking down the barriers of racism which we also need more of.

[marky--marxist]

And it’s about nice hair and cheesy dance moves, more things we need more of

[taco-bout-a-shit-blog]

It’s a movie where John Travolta plays a chic, which we need more of

Playboy’s catcall flowchart.  

[fenchurchdent-blog]

I’m reblogging Playboy. Somebody stop me. 

[thebicker]

Even Playboy wants men to stop screaming at women on the street. When the pinnacle of female objectification is telling you you’re being a sexist pig, maybe for real you’re being a sexist pig. (I mean, women have been telling you you’re a sexist pig for catcalling for a long time, but then again, they’re *women* so their opinions don’t count. Now a magazine for men has acknowledged it so LISTEN UP.)

Even Playboy wants men to stop screaming at women on the street.  That needed to be repeated.  Even Playboy.

[sexetc]

Cat calling is a form of sexual harassment yet some women are told to take cat calls as compliments. Cat calls are not compliments. Reblog if you agree!

3 types of self soothing thoughts 

Validation: it’s ok that I hurt and want to feel better

Reassurance: I can handle this pain even though it hurts 

Perspective taking: I’ve had bad days like this before and I’ve made it through them. I can remember my better days and know I’m not always hurting this much

Cancerwareness: How would you feel if your parents were raising money to make sure nobody ever has a child like you?

Cysticfibrosisawareness: How would you feel if your parents were raising money to make sure nobody ever has a child like you?

Taysachsawareness: How would you feel if your parents were raising money to make sure nobody ever has a child like you?

Do you realize how ridiculous this sounds?

Maybe your fucking parents care about the troubles and issues you’ve suffered and hope another child doesn’t have to suffer you absolute morons. 

[autisticarchive-deactivated2019]

You’re making a common but very dangerous mistake by comparing autism to cancer and chronic illnesses. Unlike cancer, autism is a fundamental part of how our brains are built, which means that autism cannot be separated from who we are as people. Autism isn’t an illness, it’s a neurotype - it’s something we are, not something separate like cancer that is happening to us and which is inherently negative. When you want to remove or cure our autism, you’re saying that you want to cure or remove a central part of who we are, a defining part of our personalities and how we experience the world, and that’s a very dangerous sentiment to have towards your child.

[theconcealedweapon]

The suffering associated with cancer is caused by cancer. 

The suffering associated with autism is not caused by autism, but by how society treats autistic people.

Stop comparing them.

If you don’t want an autistic person to suffer, just stop making them suffer.

Just to clear things up

- When black people say stop taking our braids, we’re not talking about french braids. We are talking about BOX BRAIDS, CORNROWS, ETC.

- When black people say “Black Lives Matter” we are not saying “ONLY black lives matter” we are saying “black lives matter TOO” so get out of that mentality.

-Nigga should not be in your vocabulary

-it costs exactly $0.00 to not tell black person what they should find offensive or not

-black pride is not hate.

- Racism is institutionalized and embedded into a society. Racism is more than calling people names and getting your feelings hurt. This is a constant oppression of a race.

- “Slavery was one hundred years ago” And?? It still happened. Do not act as if this did not happen.

New earbuds that let you turn up or down the sounds around you. 

But is not just about volume, you can also raise or lower the bass or adjust specific frequencies.

They also have preset filters that you can use to cancel out crowd noise or enhance the sound a concert venue.

“Riding on a bus? Just tap the “Bus” profile to drown out the low frequency hum. Walking around in a city? Tap the “City” or “Crowd” filters to tune out the murmurs and shouts. (There are also some crazier effects like “Echo” and “Fuzz.”)”

These have been created for the mass market but will have specific benefits to disabled people who want to block out sounds or for those who have hearing impairments.

“When you show up for a flight at an airport, the Here app could automatically suggest you switch to that profile. If you always set it to office mode at a certain location, the earbuds could start suggesting that filter when you arrive. Kraft’s ideas for Here go even farther than that, and they start to sound almost sinister. “I sometimes sit here with [the decibel setting at] +6 with just the door open and eavesdrop on the office, it’s kind of amazing,” Kraft jokes. “You can hear, like, the little conversations that you’re not supposed to hear.“The Here earbuds seem ready to tackle these everyday situations, but Kraft says they’re meant for more aggressive settings like live concerts, or the hustle and bustle of a big city.”

Called the Here Active Listening System by Doppler Labs, there is currently a waiting list to buy them.

This is interesting. And may be very useful to some. I find airplanes really noisy, which is probably part of why they’re so scary. Maybe it would help if I could actually turn the volume down. What do you guys think?

OK I need these. Sensory overload, background noise specifically, contributes so much tho my fatigue, it’s one of the biggest reasons I am confined to my home. Admin J

this is so sad yet important

[favoritelatina]

Being a woman is hard af.

No boobs? Damn. Grow some. Boobs? Cover yourself. You’re so vulgar. No ass? Everyone will laugh at you for it. Ass? Well, better cover yourself cause you don’t wanna draw attention to that booty, right? Short? You need to wear those heels. Tall? Damn. You cannot be taller than men. Also, never wear heels. Skinny? Gotta gain weigh cause no one likes bones. Chubby? Eat healthy!!!! Nobody likes fat bitches. You like makeup? Hell no. Taking you swimming on the first date. No makeup? Please, take care of yourself. Don’t be so lazy.

We, women, are constantly shamed for everything so we, as well, might do whatever we want.

I am really interested in these tag posts so here is another

the cry baby love see ha happy perfect

[ladyshinga]

Bunch of white straight dudes mock the need for “safe spaces” but flip their goddamn shit when minorities say stuff like “hey maybe we can be included in stuff like scifi/fantasy stuff”, saying stuff like “I PLAY GAMES/READ COMICS/BOOKS/WATCH MOVIES TO GET AWAY FROM ALL THIS PC CULTURE BULLSHIT, SO INCLUDING WOMEN OR LGBT OR POC IS JUST PUSHING AN AGENDA AND IT’S NOT FAIR TO US”…

… So who exactly is demanding that the entire world be THEIR “safe space” again?

[zaneetaschool]

what she says: I'm fine

what she means: What the fuck kind of custody arrangement does The Parent Trap family have? Whose idea was it to take one kid each and never speak to each other again? Never even tell the daughter they're raising that they're a twin? Nobody hates their ex-spouse that much, and if you do you definitely don't want that person raising one of your kids. Why are the extended family and friends going along with this? Were they sworn to secrecy? Why? How did they choose who would take which twin? Did they both just have a clear favorite? How do you not eat yourself alive with guilt over a decision like that? Why did they make it in the first place? Did a judge make the decision? Who the fuck was THAT guy? Either the family in The Parent Trap have some incredibly dark secrets that weren't explored in the movies (original or remake) or they're the worst "good" parents in fictional family history.

Asexual and aromantic people always belong in the LGBTQIAP+ community, full stop.
