John Green: Harry Potter Nerds Win at Life (x)
I just saw a post complaining that women liking men with six-packs is reverse sexism and that Tumblr should be ashamed of themselves, blah, blah, blah. Shut up.
You know what tends to dictate a woman’s attractiveness? Her physical attractiveness. You know what tends to dictate a man’s…
“Being in a wheelchair does not make one disabled. The only thing that can disable us is our thoughts. Thoughts about the world, thoughts about others, and above all else, thoughts about ourselves. So, to everyone who reads this and gives it any thought, I would like to do my best to remind all of you that ‘disabled’ is merely a word that those unable to see the possibility in every situation cast upon those who are different from themselves. Such people are the only kind that I would ever call disabled.” <3

I don’t understand why every girl that happens to take a picture, or lets the world know she likes video games is an attention whore.
Taking pictures with shit you like. That in itself is a girl thing to do. Girls fucking do that shit with literally everything. So why is it that when a girl does it for video game related shit everyone suddenly makes her Special Snowflake of the day.
I realize that there are obviously some girls out there thinking that they’re the shit for having an interest they don’t think is common among females. But you’ve got to be able to understand the difference between:
“Yup. That’s right. I’m a girl. That plays video games. Look at my controller! Proof I have an actual console!”
and
“I just fucking love video games.”
That’s what you do with Depression, you mask the symptoms. The symptoms of Depression IS depression, it’s not a symptom of something else. It’s not like you go “oooh, I feel really sad” and then your arse falls off. The symptoms of Depression is depression. You take away the symptoms of Depression HALLOOOOO! you’re cured! But Tom [Cruise] was like “no, no, no Matt. Matt, these drugs Matt, these drugs they’re just a crutch, these drugs are just a crutch!” and I’m thinking “yes?”. THEY’RE A CRUTCH! You don’t walk up to a guy with one leg and say “hey pal, that crutch is just a crutch, THROW IT AWAY! Hop ya bastard! That crutch is masking the symptoms of your one leggedness”.

Craig Ferguson on Tom Cruise attacking Brooke Shields for using anti-depressants to fight Post-Partum Depression. (via themarriageofadeadblogsing) Craig Ferguson is my patronus, I swear. (via turn-on-the-neon) I wish people understood this. Sigh. (via beezusishere) Oh wow, I so agree. You’d never tell someone with cancer to “snap out of it, it’s just cancer.” So why do people do that with depression? (via youdontlooklikeafeminist) Always reblog because YES. (via adelaitheboi) always reblog. you just don’t walk away and get over Depression, Anxiety or any other mental health issue. It stays. For LIFE. The crutch is so you don’t fall on your face every time you try to do anything, and you learn to get better at living with it. Maybe sometimes you don’t need the crutch, but that doesn’t mean that you’ve “gotten better”. So fuck you Tom Cruise, and anyone else who doesn’t get this. (via nekobakaz) Never not reblog. (via jemimaaslana) Made me smile to see this on my dash again. Always, always reblog. (via kiriamaya) |
Why Women are Boring
I really liked Humon’s recent journal entry and felt like sharing it here:
“I was at a party the other day where a guy slapped a girl’s butt and she freaked out, yelled at him and pushed him hard into a wall. Afterwards the guy asked his friends, “What the hell? Why did she freak out like that? I didn’t even hit her that hard. Girls are so uptight”
While she did overreact a bit (I could hear the slap from where I stood, so it properly hurt more than he thought), I’ve heard this kind of comment before. “Why are women so boring? Why do they freak out just because you touch their ass/breasts? If a woman grabbed my ass I wouldn’t react like that”
I just want to give a quick explanation for those guys who has yet to figure it out. Men are stronger physically than woman, there’s no way to get around it, and from the day we were born women are taught that men can’t be trusted. Well, except for our dads, and possibly our brothers, but we shouldn’t trust your creepy uncle too much.
“Don’t talk to strangers” really means “Don’t talk to strange men”, and we tell women not to get raped but not men that they shouldn’t rape. “I’m a man, I can’t help myself” is often heard when his girlfriend complains about him getting a bit too close to other girls. “Men are animals that can’t control themselves. They are all dangerous. Never let a man be alone with someone else’s child, he will surely rape it, and the same goes for you, young woman. All men are sexual offenders just waiting to get a chance”
That is very harshly said of course, but that’s the core of what women are told throughout their lives, even by their own fathers. And even though we don’t run away in horror as soon as we see a guy, for a long time before we get to know him it’s somewhere in the back of our heads that he’s dangerous. Studies have shown that even most men’s biggest fear is other men (Getting beat up).
So if you’re a guy, imagine that a guy much bigger and stronger then you grabbed your ass and started flirting with you. That’s why girls freak out over a slap on the butt.” - HumonI want to marry Humon forever.
Also there are plenty of men who are just as sick of the idea that all men are animals/rapists-in-waiting. We can help it, thank you very much, and I’m tired of society reinforcing the idea that we can’t.
People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you’re not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are The Advertisers and they are laughing at you.
You, however, are forbidden to touch them. Trademarks, intellectual property rights and copyright law mean advertisers can say what they like wherever they like with total impunity.
Fuck that. Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It’s yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. You can do whatever you like with it. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head.
You owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you especially don’t owe them any courtesy. They owe you. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don’t even start asking for theirs.

Lol stfu it has nothing to do with we were slaves and shit stupid people. And turning the whole world black WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK are you saying. Just stop. Please. Cool youre upset spidey is black but seriously, what? Fucking white people are so sensitive give black spidey a chance he might be better than that pussy ass white dude, who I loved also.The new Spiderman is black. What the fuck?
I’m all against racism, but I’m also all against turning the world black because herp derp sorry you were slaves herp derp. Shit’s getting out of hand with how PC people are getting. If someone created a black superhero like 10 years ago and replaced him with a white dude out of nowhere, a great shitstorm would be upon them, so don’t shitstorm me.
The law does not bind me from doing stupid shit. I had so many opportunities to drink and smoke pot, and you know what? The law couldn’t of stopped me. I didn’t do it because of MY personal beliefs, morals, and ideals.
I don’t think some of you understand depression. So many people throw around the word, just to say that they’re sad. But telling someone who is actually diagnosed with depression to “cheer up,” it’s just ignorant. Do you know what it feels like to lose all hope in everything? To hate everything you once loved? To feel like you’re completely alone, even when you’re surrounded by people? To be so mentally and physically exhausted all the time that you literally can’t find the motivation to move? To be so broken down that you constantly tell yourself that you’d rather be dead? That the only thing stopping you from killing or hurting yourself is your lack of motivation? To have literally everything that once held you together fall apart in front of your eyes? To feel like you’re drowning in your own sadness? To feel a disgusting sadness that never leaves you? To feel that there’s no escape from this feeling, that you’re trapped inside your own twisted mind? To fear your own thoughts, because those are what destroy you? To feel like you don’t even have the strength to make it through the rest of the day, let alone wake up and do it all over again the next day? To have people quit asking you what’s wrong, because they don’t understand how messed up you are, and quite frankly they don’t care? To hate yourself and everything you’ve become? To feel like you’ve lost control of your own life? To know the only one hurting you is yourself? Don’t tell me to just stop being sad, like it’s just some switch that I can flip on and off. Depression is so much more than that. Think before you tell me to “cheer up.”
I’m straightedge and a vegetarian so I get this kind of attitude all the time. I wouldn’t call abstaining from drink and drugs as a moral choice (because - like sex, clothes and gambling) I don’t think they can be immoral. It’s just a personal choice. It’s so insane what people can have a go at you over. Some people get themselves so paranoid I’m secretly judging them that they make me paranoid that they hate me. :/ Some people just feel the need to attack something they don’t understand, I suppose.
(from aceadmiral)
ha ha yeah i don’t think i like this.
of course there is a degree of confrontational behavior that is unbecoming, but it’s not cool to try to discourage (especially female and feminine) people from an unspecified intensity of it by threatening them with being identified as a “bitch.”
AND OF COURSE NO LOLITA CAN BE ASSERTIVE FOR ANY REASON BESIDES THAT SHE WANTS TO BE EDGY RIGHT?????? Every creature once equipped with a petticoat is
castratedinstantly transformed into a domestic docile mute little fairy floss-haired lamb. Ha ha ok.
