Heard some important information on Twitter today, and thought I’d post it here for anyone who may not have heard it. This is actually a thing, devised by human rights organisation called Karma Nirvana.
Reblog to save a life?
Reblog to save a life.
Sharing because it’s actually a verified and sourced thing and not one of those dumbass fake tip posts.
I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:
IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.
1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.
2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.
3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”
4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”
5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.
TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.
Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.
why on earth doesn’t this have more notes
I actually had to do this once. She lived.
if you scroll past this on your dash you are absolutely heartless.
Reblog this!! This can save somebody’s life!
reblog.

do not scroll down.
I SWEAR TO GOD IF ANYONE SCROLLS PAST THIS WITHOUT REBLOGGING I WILL LITTERALLY FIND THEM AND GIVE THEM A LECTURE
may I just update this?
see the little thing that says help?
Don’t ever scroll past this post. FUCKING NEVER SCROLL PAST!!!
🌸🌸🌸
Anyone know where it is on mobile ???
You report the user, choose “something else”, scroll down and choose “suicide or self harm”
PLEASE REBLOG

Hi river i think you did a response like this but I cant find it? or maybe a new one to this? twitter(.)com(/)Rapunzellifee/status/1222697974117158912 thanks
Oh the homophobia is strong with this one! There’s always one or two who really go the distance with justifying their hate and giving them attention is really not a good idea.
But here’s the thing: Clarke threatened to kill her in front of her guards.
Lexa thought she was protecting Clarke, bringing her to Polis, and she was angry that Roan brought her in trussed up like a turkey, but then Clarke spit at her and said she’d kill her. This was not what Lexa had intended, but she’s also playing a bigger game.
There was no way Lexa could have let Clarke’s threat stand in front of her people. Of course Clarke was locked up. In the nicest room in the tower and not at any point forced to do anything Lexa wanted (besides keeping her from the Ice Queen’s clutches because Clarke had been made an unwitting pawn in their feud). Clarke stood up for herself throughout, she resisted and she persisted. She’s no one’s victim.
Lexa and Clarke were both encouraged by others to kill one another. Clarke was given the means to do so.
Lexa laid her cards out on the table, she was honest with Clarke, but her actions were out of anxiety: she was losing control of her coalition and the Ice Nation had an army on her doorstep. Clarke called her out, Lexa gave it back, Clarke put a knife to her throat and Lexa completely surrendered herself. As Titus pointed out, Lexa “elevated” Clarke. Lexa saw Clarke as the better of the two of them. Stronger.
Yes, Clarke is suffering. She is traumatized. She’s tired. She wants none of this. But Lexa does understand her. She knows Clarke would do anything to protect her people. Lexa wants the Sky people to join the coalition to help strengthen it, and to offer them protection from the Ice Nation threat. She wants Clarke’s people to be her people so that she and Clarke are never on opposite sides again. She is out of her mind in love with Clarke. She’s not trying to fuck her up further. Everything Lexa does from there on is in service to Clarke (and her people).
Titus knows this, Titus don’t like it. He’s our POV character on this relationship. He sees how Lexa regards Clarke and he sees her death in it.
Lexa isn’t without arrogance, but tell me how many villainous captors get on their knees and pledge their loyalty then actually follow-through? Is it so hard to believe Clarke wasn’t actually stupid or naive and stayed in Polis because it was what she wanted? This person’s argument is that Clarke has no agency thanks to Lexa manipulating her while Clarke suffers from PTSD.
To re-phrase: Clarke is a helpless child being manipulated the evil lesbian.
Yeah, that’s a completely homophobic take. She’s welcome to have it. But it is hateful and homophobic and seeks to influence others into that point of view.
Clarke and Lexa’s relationship was written as a tragic romance because some straight people thought the gays would love it. Lexa is literally written as the flawed but noble warrior queen whose love for Clarke gets her killed (well that, and walking into a bullet the first time she decides not to knock on Clarke’s door first).
The only time Clarke ever behaved like someone with PTSD afraid of her captor, was with BeIIamy Blake. She’s never stood up to him. In the scenes at Arkadia, after the massacre, BeIIamy is growing unhinged with his desire for genocide. Clarke sees it and she treats like an animal about to strike. He abuses her trust, captures her and drags her off to a man who probably would have killed her.
After that, her relationship with BeIIamy is very much like a lot of women around violent men: she’s always quieter around him, doesn’t question him, and on more than one occasion he not only continues to abuse her trust until she finally clocks him after the Madi/Commander situation and gives him a single call-out on Sanctum for his sanctimonious behavior.
Theirs is not a love story and has never been presented as one.
But coming from a fandom that found strangulation and cpr on a dead person sexy, seeing Clarke as a victim is entirely appropriate…so long as her captor/abuser is one BeIIamy Blake.
Oh, and did this person forget there are at least two times Clarke tells someone she loved Lexa?
It’s such a well-known thing, she’s frequently taunted over it at least once a season.
Hey, have you got any book recommendations? Not necessarily anything soccer related- just something you read recently that you liked?
You know the way to my heart, I have SO many recommendations but here are a few to start:
1. I just finished Hold Still: A Memoir with Photographs by Sally Mann, it’s a great memoir that’s told in four parts. I read it because I saw an exhibit of her work at a museum and fell completely in love with the way she sees the world.
2. The Overstory by Richard Powers, this is the one that CP quotes with “everything in the forest is the forest” but it’s really such a good book beyond that. The way Powers weaves the stories together reminded me why I love reading.
3. A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles is one of the most wonderfully structured novels I’ve ever read, the way the story develops and comes together has stuck with me for years.
4. One of the books I’m currently reading is The Kitchen House by Kathleen Grissom, it’s the story of a young girl who comes to the US from Ireland prior to the Civil War and the exploration of race vs class (and how those to things are inextricably linked) is fascinating.
I’m literally always down to suggest books so if you tell me what genre(s) and author(s) you like, I can give recs based on that!
I didnt notice til the end that the Contact is named “My boss”
Happy dog in the snow…
WHAT A PERFECT VIDEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
my friend sent this to me today and i—
He was an activist who inspired millions to fight for their rights. He knew what was wrong with our country and risked his life to help his people achieve equality. In the society where black were treated like animal he did everything possible to change this. His brave soul, his will and courage changed the history of America , changed the people. He made us believe we can win this war. He payed for it with his life. He will always be remembered.
this should be reblogged everyday just so people can know that black rage is always justified. always.
All true

When I made this, she started and scored next game so....🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
first of all, let me say this...I 100% stand with any woman who refuses to support a company when/if they are informed of said company's problematic history and you have every right to dislike someone if they are in any way breathing near it because hey, you just don't like that company and bitch, that's that on that so you know what I usually do? I just roll my eyes and be like "sis get your coin" and go eat a donut and forget 2 seconds later...BUT, this article about "christen press endorses misogyny and racism so now the entire uswnt can go to hell" is so very clearly a personal and biased attack on christen that I had to laugh while reading it. this "incredible feminist writer" y'all are hailing as a profound and prolific in her attack on christen is honestly so basic and gross and I find it really funny how a lot of the white girls on this team also took over barstool sports on their ig stories and they were taking over A LOT of company's stories that day because like, they were on a fucking loud ass float, full of people, probably lit af and didn't really think "gee, let me do a stealth, in depth Google investigation on this company to make sure no one affiliated has ever done/said anything problematic!" but oh, they didn't get called out by their name yet, the black girl who posted it gets attacked because she's a woman of color and she should know better? like as black woman we're held to a higher standard of humanity and thus, "should" know more/be angry by default? shireen specifically singled out christen to sell her fake outrage tactics and gain clicks and whether y'all wanna be real about it or not, that in itself is misogynistic and antiblack af. she created a narrative to create problematic buzz around someone who she doesn't even know personally which is so fucking tired like girl, grow up and now all of sudden, christen is being considered "a misogyny apologist who's entire career as an activist is discredited" I'm so sorry but sis, fuck you and your little article. I can't stand people who brand themselves as "feminists" yet stay attacking woc, particularly black women for shit that they just refuse to call out white women for.
