attention nyc area people!
Please boost this!
FYI : this website definitely DOES NOT have a million free TEXTBOOKS and in general books for you all to download 😌
No reason to reblog this 👀
Does anyone else ever get that sinking feeling in their gut as they realise no-one actually gives a shit about you? Not your parents, not your 'friends' and not your 'partner'?
Like you spend so damn long in denial, just pushing through and telling yourself that everything is fine, and then it happens. It could be something small, something that just flips a switch in your brain and it becomes so glaringly obvious that nobody in your life ever actually cared about you? Only what you could do for them, what you could bring them.
They're perfectly fine going about their lives, and you're just left alone and tired and in so much god damn pain that you just can't take it anymore.
So you do anything to escape that pain and that loneliness, even if it may cost you whatever small and pathetic life you have left? Because you just don't have the energy or will power to care anymore?
I don't see anything ever changing. I don't see a light at the end of the tunnel. I don't see any other way out.
Call me selfish, call me weak. Tell me I'm a sinner who will burn in hell. I don't care anymore because I know no-one will miss me and I know in a few weeks everyone will have forgotten I was ever there.
Bless Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan for this, because I am LIVID:
Marvel and the Russo's were completely prepared to assassinate Steve's character development and the importance of his relationship with Bucky, to have him leave Bucky behind with no hesitation after fighting to get him back for 3 moves, and to have all their important goodbye conversations happen offscreen while Steve's onscreen goodbye to Bucky was emotionless and dismissive.
They didn't tell Sebastian Stan that he wasn't getting the shield, a completely life and career altering opportunity that he was a serious contender for, until literally 40 minutes before the scene happened, giving him no time to process a huge disappointment and lost opportunity which likely didn't feel great - even if we know he's extremely happy for and supportive of Mackie.
They didn't give Seb a script until just before the scene giving him no time to think about his performance or how Bucky would feel losing Steve for the final time, in arguably one of the most important scenes in the history of their relationship.
They ignored and dismissed his protests about how much there was left to say between Bucky and Steve and how dissatisfying their ending was, telling him they talked offscreen and not to worry.
And now we learn that they were prepared to completely exclude Bucky/Seb from Steve's final scene, to have him not even notice or acknowledge Old Steve, his oldest and only fucking friend in the world!
They were prepared to have Steve and Sam not even acknowledge Bucky's existence, and for him to just fade out quietly. They were prepared to have Sam not question whether Bucky may be a contender for the shield as if he didn't exist and was never important to Steve. They were prepared for Seb not to be involved at all in the handing over of the Cap legacy and the start of a new phase at Marvel, after 10 fucking years of being a linchpin of Captain America movies.
Anthony and Seb had to come up with and fight for a way to incorporate Bucky into this final scene and the handing over of the Cap legacy, because Marvel were not prepared to.
So stan Seb for, despite the way he is constantly treated at Marvel, fighting his corner for the sake of Bucky and the fans because that's what he truly cares about.
And stan Mackie for being a excellent friend and a consummate professional, for giving up part of his big moment to make sure Seb was included and for recognising Bucky's importance to Steve and the shield.
Stan them both for having actual respect for their characters, the storyline and the fans, unlike Marvel.
@infinitecrime thank you! Thank you for saying this!! It’s like after Civil War, the MCU started to hate Bucky, it’s fucking annoying af!
Does anyone else get really excited about something, something you find really cool and just completely fascinating? Something you really really want to share with someone, whether it's a friend, a family member or your significant other.
But when you do, they give you That Look. A look so full of disinterest and boredom and annoyance and you just in know that all they want is for you to just...shut up. A look that tells you they really couldn't give a single fuck about anything you have to say.
Cause that shit hurts, like really, really hurts.
I've come to the decision I don't want to be in a relationship. I'm tired of being used and hurt and abandoned when they get what they want or they get bored.
But I still want someone to do dumb couple shit with. I want to sleep beside someone, wrapped up in their arms and feeling all warm and safe and shit. I want random hi g's that say 'hey I'm not sick of you'. I want us to scream along to our song when it comes on the radio. I want to slow dance in the kitchen when we're drunk and there's soft music playing.
I just want to feel like I matter to someone. I want to feel loved and wanted. Is that so much to ask??
Why does it hurt so much when he won't respond? If it hurts so much, why do I keep staring at my phone, waiting for a reply I know will never come? Why do I allow my hopes to get so high? And why do I fall so damn fast?
Why do I break everything I touch?
so. FUN FACT
tumblr is apparently rolling out a beta for a new post editor that essentially makes it so there are no longer post “types” (text post, audio post, photo post, etc.), and instead all types of content are better integrated into a single post. pretty neat, right?
…until you read the fine print.
The maximum number of total content blocks allowed in a single post is 250.
i emailed support and asked whether each paragraph counts as a content block. i received this reply:
SO. each paragraph counts as a content block, and i’m only allowed 250 content blocks in one post. the solution provided was to reformat my fics by using shift+enter after every paragraph instead of simply enter. which is already unnecessarily annoying in of itself, but then you come to the second hurdle:
The maximum character length of a single text block is 4096 characters.
so–what?? besides spending my time writing thousands upon thousands of words, i’m expected to copy-paste it and then reformat everything, counting every single one of those words to make sure they fit within the restrictions? or i’m supposed to chop my fics up into multiple parts, even when i don’t want to? how exactly are writers supposed to write on this platform?? as you all know, my style tends to run pretty dialogue-heavy, so i start new paragraphs (and, thus, content blocks!!!) pretty damn often. i did a quick check, and let it snow, at almost 19k, is 550 paragraphs. with this new system, i would be forced to upload it in three (3!!!!!) posts! even my shortest chapter of ego, at 8.8k, is 350 paragraphs, and i’d have to split it in two.
this is honestly a formatting nightmare as a writer, and this is a decision that is liable to drive content creators away from the site and change fandom culture as a whole.
please. if you enjoy reading content on this site and want to continue enjoying content on this site, please don’t let tumblr make things harder for writers! since the tumblr team is supposedly eager to hear what everyone thinks, it would really help if you could message support and share your concern about the issue–maybe we can stop this disaster before it starts.
I know a lot of writeblrs will be affected by the post editor, so if you have the option to participate in the Beta, please reach out to the support team and give your feedback!
If you click on the question mark besides the [BETA] and the “Let us know” it’ll take you straight to the feedback form.
It’s really easy!
They’re actively looking for feedback and opinions, so if enough of us talk about how it’s not working, maybe we can get them to change it!
THeyre actually going to ever listen to us instead of forcing us to find a way to xkit our way around something? *cynical*
I definitely understand your cynicism, but I feel like flooding them with our feedback might have a better chance than complaining about it in our posts!
XKit is amazing and is an absolute godsend, but not everyone uses it. People are going to be limited by the new updates regardless of whatever fix XKit can provide and this hurts the creators on the platform.
The staff won’t know that it’s a problem if we only complain about it on our blogs. But maybe, just maybe, they’ll realize that it’s a problem if a ton of people give them feedback using the official form saying that it’s not working for them.
I don’t know about you, but I’d rather take the small chance over a 0 chance.
I’ve reported a couple things I didn’t like about the Beta and I did get some sort of personalized-ish response from the staff.
I don’t know if they’re listening, but it’s a lot harder to ignore people screaming in your ear compared to people complaining about it under their breaths.
If any part of this beta upsets you, don’t get complacent.
Send your feedback to Tumblr through the Help Center. Tell them why you’re unhappy. It’s not too late.
Here’s hoping! @support
I don’t have the Beta options but I am signal boosting this like heck.
I have also gone into the Help section and sent a Feedback comment on how this limit will be a problem for me and many others.

Can you do something for me, please?
I want you to reblog this if you believe that two people can be very close and physically affectionate with one another, but still have a completely nonsexual, non-romantic relationship.
Even if the two people in question are capable of being sexually or romantically attracted to one another.
Because the friendship I share with someone I consider family in a way that transcends blood has been typecast as a romantic relationship ENTIRELY too many times, and I’m beginning to get sick of it.

I’ve never reblogged anything faster.
Putting these up for anyone who needs them today.
Cannot recommend WDHDT highly enough. I’ve found it helpful not just for romantic relationships, but also for growing up w a “unexplainable/uncontrollable” dad.
IT HAS ALSO BEEN REALLY HELPFUL FOR UNDERSTANDING ONLINE MOB HARASSMENT.
So if you’ve ever been bombarded w threats to be raped/killed, (so…if you’re a minority and you’ve been on the Internet for a while), this book might be useful for getting clarity around the whole entitled, abusive mindset that drives certain kinds of people to behave that way. And by “getting clarity”, I mean (for me) being able to go “oh, that’s what’s happening” and not really feel scared anymore. Or angry, or drawn out into it, or anything.
And if you’re still standing around going “but how does something like GamerGate happen?” or “but why do men hit their wives?” or whatever – please read that book and learn something.
^^^^ truth WDHDT is fantastic at cutting down MRA bullshit and calling it what it really is
Please consider reading these. WDHDT is really, really helpful. And I know some of you are struggling with abusive relationships, friendships, families, etc. You’re not alone. There is help.
Yo. This family holiday, please, please take care of yourself. You aren’t there to be anybody else’s cushion.
Reading any of these books does not mean you don’t love your parents or family. It’s just self care for helping you cope and not repeat the behaviors.
All the books in this thread are great; adding this one because it was the most helpful to me. Free pdf here

It is our duty as feminists to protect and respect women in Hijabs
Now. More. Than. Ever.
littlepumpkinprincess
Question: if I see someone pull off a Hijab, what should I do? I know there are reasons they are worn so I want to if i should stand in between them and who did this, should i protect them from view somehow, or something else? This has been happening a lot so I feel it’s something everyone needs to know.
Good question! I cannot correctly and effectively answer, as I am a white, non-Muslim person; however, I will reblog in case any of my followers can answer.
I asked my Hijabi friend, so here’s one Hijabi’s answer:
“my opinion is, definitely try cover them or give them something to cover themselves with. And perhaps shoo off the person, without putting oneself in danger! God forbid, if that happened to me, I would like someone to come and comfort me and give me something to cover my hair with and then help me report it to the cops “
(Followers, if any of you are hijabi and would like to expand on this answer or offer alternatives, please do.)
sarsbabe77
If u see it happen to 1 of us, pls cover our head + hair with a coat or shawl or any piece of cloth, while hugging us in comfort. Please don’t get hurt by lashing out @ the perpetrators in any way, coz if they dare to do that, they’re probably too far gone in their own hatred to listen to any reason. Much love + Thank You to anyone who supports us.
raphaelsdumort
yes !! everything said here is important af. if you see someone pull off a girl’s hijab immediately cover her hair and provide comfort. don’t talk to the perpetrator but try to get the woman out of there if you can. maybe if you have a scarf on you at the time give it to her so she can wear it until she’s alone and can replace her hijab. please please protect muslim girls because we already had it hard before donald trump became president and now its gonna be worse with people going around thinking their violence and cruelty is justified
for my other white ppl who might have a hard time, it’s my understanding that a hijab is like a major item of clothing, not an accessory like a hat or a scarf. so think abt it more like if someone just ripped someone’s shirt or skirt off. u don’t want to be left there exposed or have to walk home without it.
everyone, even outside America needs to protect our Muslim sisters in these times.
testxsterone
as a man, what would be the best thing to do? should i turn my head and avoid looking at their hair? can i still offer a jacket or something similar?
^I’m hoping someone has an answer islamaphpbia is on the rise in my town and I want to be a good male non Muslim ally
For men, yes please, we would prefer it if you avoided looking at our hair, and if we don’t have something to substitute as a hijab at that moment, anything you could lend us, a jacket, etc, would be very appreciated.
Also, since most girls avoid physical contact with men they’re not related to, please do not hug them, but rather shoo the offender away if you can, or at least escort the girl to a safe place. You can still offer words of encouragement and support. Furthermore, understand that the victim may not be very welcoming towards you because she’ll obviously be shaken, and won’t know where you are coming from. If that’s the case, please still give her something to cover herself (hijab is very important, think of it as someone ripping your shirt off) and stand some distance away until you are sure she’s in safe hands.
Thank you so much for your support, we really appreciate it, god bless all of you.

Share!
There’s many reason why I always have a flannel on me, and this is one of them.
Just the other day I gave it to a kind hijabi girl at a cafe because some asshole reached across the counter and ripped her hijab off, saying that she’s now “free” from it
Followers, please rb this and keep this in mind!!!
This is not related to my blog at all but is SO IMPORTANT!!
Rebloging for anyone who needs this information and I will keep this information in my head!

🥺 support a black lgbt owned bookstore trying to open in the south? Bc I want to go there when they open? Thank u?
Look at them
From the Kickstarter: “Today, Durham is without a Black-owned bookselling storefront and the handful of bookstores in the area do not, at present, offer an expansive cross-genre collection of Black literature. This is the gap that Rofhiwa hopes to fill: (1) creating a space for collective imagining, where children and adults may find and share stories that reflect who they are (2) fostering the convivial atmosphere that is seminal to creating the bookcafé as a communal space (3) offering a deep collection of works by Black writers that invites readers to explore what it means to be Black here, over there and everywhere where Black people make life.”
Do it for the black lgbts in the south !!! Thank u !!!
7 days to go. If they do not reach this goal, they will receive not a single cent of whats been donated to them. For reference on how time sensitive a situation this is.
I spoke briefly with the owners & asked if Rofhiwa would be okay if the goal isn’t hit. The answer was an optimistic no
[id: screenshot of 2 Instagram messages from Rofhiwa. Together, they read “Firstly thank you for your support and belief in us! Thank you for worrying with us :) It is a bit of a tight deadline but we are hoping that our big donors will give in the next week. And hopefully smaller donations will keep coming in. Keep your fingers crossed for us :D”. end id]
As of right now, 12am Jan 5, they need $16,091. I gave what I could & im really hoping to get some momentum going with this post again. Please reblog, I’m so grateful to those of you who’ve continued to boost this & donated if you could to help contribute to this community. Thank u!
To any suicidal followers I may have: This is a sign to not kill yourself. You are loved and the world is special because you are in it. Keep holding on.
Reblog this when it’s on your dash. You will save someone’s life.
The sign says it all, as a person who has 2 suicidal friends, plz reblog
and the universe said I love you. and the universe said you have played the game well. and the universe said everything you need is within you. and the universe said you are stronger than you know. and the universe said you are the daylight. and the universe said you are the night. and the universe said the darkness you fight is within you. and the universe said the light you seek is within you. and the universe said you are not alone.

Okay I love this and it’s a great message and it made me feel really good today but isn’t that the Minecraft cutscene thing after you beat the ender dragon
As someone who is slowly healing after 4 attempts, it might not feel like it a lot of the time, but it does get better. It will take a long time and the support of those who love you but it can be done. You will never be the same person, but you can use your suffering to reach out and help those who don't have that support, who don't have anyone to light their way. Stay strong because each and every single one of you has a purpose in this world and the world would be a darker place without you, even if you can't see it right now.
