RE: talking to conservative parents, I’ve found a good method to de-worming their brains is to not get riled up, just act a little bored and remind them “the news cycle only shows salacious stuff. They want you to be mad and scared because it makes you easier to control. Think about it for a second. Do you REALLY believe everything they have to say?” Or “you can’t believe everything you read or see on the internet. Remember, they earn money every time you click on their video.”

And especially when my dad starts getting huffy about Prices or Artists He Doesn’t Like, I tell him “that’s the beauty of capitalism. they have a product to sell and the freedom of expression if you don’t like it you don’t have to buy it.”

Might not work for everyone but dad’s KRYPTONITE especially is saying “but dad that’s capitalism! You LOVE capitalism!” And he either has to stop complaining or admit capitalism is bad and so far I haven’t lost

I want to say one more thing as a cis person who experimented with labels over the years, questioned my gender, and ended up as cis after all. The trans community did not "indoctrinate" me. I had always been asking these questions, even as a little kid before I knew trans people even existed. Over the years, trans women gave me the courage to explore the femininity I wasted my youth denying, trans men taught me that manhood is what you make of it and that nobody could tell me how to define it, and nonbinary people taught me just how limitless my possibilities were. The only parts of my upbringing that left me "confused" about gender were the conservatives who imposed a vision of gender that my friends and I could not relate to. And when I realized trans identity wasn't something I could claim after all, the community loved me all the same. I am happier, and the world is more beautiful, because of trans people. The human impulse to create and survive isn't going anywhere, and neither are trans people.

in this terrifying world you continuously have the power to offer someone else a little relief . why would you withhold that. do you remember what a little relief feels like? it feels like a lot

excuse me? are you suggesting i frolic directly into someone's emotional space and assume what brings them relief, potentially causing more stress? are you encouraging people to reach past their own boundaries to help, increasing net suffering if it costs more than the other gains? surely not; that would be advocating for emotional self-harm.

this is a post about the woman who waived my late fee at the bank .

good for you, good for her, the wording on the initial post feels closer to blaming people who don't reach out than celebrating those who do by a large enough margin that i feel the need to hit back

you are a tar pit

I know I’ve reblogged this already today but I like. this point

I loves These Comics of Spiderman & Venom Double Trouble And Peter Parker & Miles Morales Double Trouble! ( Found These Images on Google)

This list includes doctors in the United States, Australia, Canada, and Europe!

Even if you're not the target demographic, please share for any of your friends who may be.

And if you or someone you know would like to be added to the list, there's a place for that!

sorry reading thru the comments has me losing my mind cause some of yall think homework that is meant to help sharpen your critical thinking skills and the ability to take stories apart HAVE to be fun to read. it was school work to teach you things and i realize its not gonna be as fun as reading your fave YA novel in high school but im starting to think this is why some of yall have the worse fucking takes on media in existence and why some of you genuinely think that if you write about it in a book that means you want to do it in real life

menstruating in the summer should be considered a violation of human rights they should defund the police and give the money to the girlies in stem so they put an end to this

That's not how demographics work.

It could be if we’re all brave enough

Reblog to turn everybody gay by 2047

tumblr is a period tracker app if you use it right

I feel like more people need to do more Walk-Around Cosplay like just go to the grocery store in Cosplay. I feel like we need to see a return on early 2010's fandom in that very specific regard.
