hey guys if you ever feel bad about yourself just remember that you at least aren’t so much of a loser than you make an 11 hours 44 minute response video to someone saying they didnt like Joker

I have to fucking laugh the dude in the vid responded to Jenny on twitter

“why don’t you take the time to watch it and take criticism” the audacity of some fucking men like he really thinks she’s going to sit there and listen to him critic every fucking sentence for over 6+ hours lkjsdlkjsd

During the 1980s, more gay men died in New York City during the AIDS crisis than all recorded deaths of American soldiers in Vietnam. You need to know that.

Sources, for Skeptics who can’t figure out google

120,453 aids related deaths from 1980-1990

57,939 american soldiers died in Vietnam

… gods, the Reagan Administration really did just let a generation perish, and laughed while it happened, didn’t it?

Like how bout you mind your business okay

I can only hope that you hit a tree instead of a person.

as long as you’re on the road with me, putting my life in danger, it sure as hell IS my business. don’t look at your fucking phone while your car is moving. you’re going to kill someone.

I did a report on actual studies of this for college.  It is part of a category of behaviors referred to as “distracted driving,” a category which includes driving while under the influence of alcohol or other drugs.

The reason drunk driving is bad is you have inhibited judgment and a depressed nerve response.  If you are drunk driving, and there’s something you need to avoid or react to, you are more likely to make bad reactive decisions, and make them much slower than a sober person would.  (I do not recall offhand the name for the type of distraction this represents neurologically.)

Looking at your phone is something called a COGNITIVE distraction, which means your focus, in that moment, is entirely on a separate task, because contrary to popular belief, “multitasking” is not a thing that actually exists neurologically.  It is possible to switch between multiple tasks in such a way that you make progress towards both at nearly the same time, but within the same INSTANT, your brain CANNOT, by design, perform two cognitive tasks at the same time without greatly impairing your performance at both of them.  Even talking on the phone while driving, keeping your eyes fully on the road at all times, is a cognitive distraction that makes it much harder for you to pay attention to your driving and to the people around you, and even people who claimed to be proficient multitaskers, when tested, proved to be highly prone to accidents while talking on the phone AND far less effective at responding to the conversations they were having, because it is not possible for the human brain to do both things at the same time.  Talking on the phone while driving was found to be approximately as bad as drunk driving.

But it gets worse.  

If you are traveling at highway speeds, and you look down at your phone for just six seconds, you will have traveled roughly the distance of an American football field while your eyes were completely away from the road.

This, obviously, is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

A person under the influence of alcohol will have a DELAYED reaction.  A person whose eyes are not on the road because they are texting will have NO reaction.  In the event of an accident, this means full speed collision head on with no actions taken to mitigate the damage.

What every study ever done on the subject showed, unambiguously and by a CLEAR margin, was that TEXTING WHILE DRIVING IS SIGNIFICANTLY MORE DANGEROUS TO YOURSELF AND OTHER MOTORISTS THAN DRUNK DRIVING. You are both more likely to be INVOLVED in an accident and less likely to REACT to it in time to save your life and the lives of other people on the road.

Drunk driving is punished HEAVILY by law, and rightly so, because it is a reckless endangerment of public safety.

If you text while driving or check facebook while driving or do anything else on your phone instead of keeping your eyes on the road, YOU ARE MORE DANGEROUS TO YOURSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS THAN A PERSON WHO IS SEVERELY DRUNK, YOU ARE A THREAT TO PUBLIC SAFETY AND YOU SHOULD BE STOPPED.  Other people on the road have every right to hate you for it and to hope someday the law catches up on this issue.

If you’re driving on the same road as me, YOU TEXTING IS MY FUCKING BUSINESS, because you are putting MY LIFE in danger.

If you want to text while in transit, you shouldn’t be in the driver’s seat.

Looking at this I get to the bit about moving at highway speeds and looking at your phone for six seconds means going a football field without seeing the road. And I think “People look away for that long?!?!?” But of course they do, this is the same species where someone put on the cruise control in their RV/camper and went in the back to make coffee.

Just a reminder that Vincent van Gogh did not eat yellow paint to make himself feel happy, he ate paint, and drank different chemicals because he was suicidal and this is why he was not allowed in his studio while having breakdowns. He also did not paint starry night and his other great works because he was depressed, he painted most of them while he was in recovery and demonstrated his hopefulness and love of the world through this. Most of his great works were painted from his room at a hospital. Van Gogh’s depression should not be glorified. His hope and effort toward a better life, as well as his recovery from depression should be glorified.

You’re right and you should say it

Men will get pegged and wear a flower crown and think that absolves them of male privilege

Bold coming from a man who thinks adopting she/her pronouns absolves him from male privilege & socialization

It could be so helpful to have someone like Rashida Jones being vocally anti porn, but of course she’s been silenced and has to say things like “not all porn is bad” for anyone to even listen to her.

I guess there’s also Terry Crews but idek if people are taking him seriously. 

It’s just crazy how people totally refuse to hear any criticism of pornography. They literally don’t care.

I have a crap ton of digital downloads from merch purchases that I will be more than happy to share with anyone who DMs me. The downloads apparently count as sales but before I go and redeem them myself so they count, I’d rather let one of y’all who can’t afford one have them instead.

Please signal boost or add your own available downloads. I’ve given some to @tsfandomfund as well so if y’all need more let me know.

does the download come with the deluxe edition?

IT IS VERY REAL!! ALWAYS BE AWARE.

Don’t take them off when you immediately see it. Wait until you get to a different destination bc they’re trying to distract you by getting it off then abducting you. Same thing goes if you find something on your windshield, it’s a distraction so they have time to get you.    

WTF? Is this real?

Boost

Holy crap signal boost now!

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!

Idc I’m reblogging his on all of my blogs

Be careful out there !!!

Please please please PLEASE be careful!

Signal boosting this because omfg O.O

If you find it on your mail box, go on the phone with somebody and move to the nearest public place with a lot of witnesses. Stay there for a while and make sure you aren’t being followed. Arrange that you either can sleep somewhere else or that somebody you trust comes to your place. They are searching for easy targets, make yourself a hard target.

Otherwhise:

Stay aware, keep things you can use to defend yourself on your person (Keys between your fingers, peper spray, taser, etc)

Keep in mind what areas to aim for in a struggel

Always use your palm, elbow or tug your tumb in while striking to prevent injuring yourself.

Be carefull and try to go places in larger groups, preferably with several male friends.

Keep in contact with people and let them know about your where abouts so that not hearing from you in a while raises suspicion.

They like to aim for college students both because of the age group and because it’s more likely that you missing will be noticed late.

If you go out a lot or are searching for a new partner, stay aware. Don’t give your number out to strangers, go clubbing with bigger groups of friends and arrange that some of you stay sober that night, do not leave if you aren’t all together, watch your drinks, you can not trust a cute person you met at a club who brought you a drink, yes that also goes for other women. Do not leave with strangers, potential one night stands are not worth the risk. Do research on the clubs security beforehand, maybe go to the more expensive one with the better reputation, sure you might not be able to go as often but you will be going more save.

Same goes for bars.

All things considered you really want a new relationship try dating within your actual social circle. People your friends have known for a while or maybe long time friends themself. People who are registered at your university and you know have been leaving a social foot print are also more likely to trust. Always aim to go out with people you know others recognize and tell people when you plan to go on a date.

You do not play around when there is human traficing going on in your town guys. Stay save guys.

when a lesbian doesn’t want to have sex with a biological man:  penises and vaginas are analogous organs and are pretty much entirely the same lol.  Just get over it, stop being so unscientific and bigoted.

when you want aesthetic surgery done on your genitals: this counts as life saving support, penises and vaginas are so entirely different and people will die if they don’t have this procedure done

How I Teach Men Not To Talk Over Me: from one feminist to another, when basic respect is lagging and conversations are impossible

I’ve done this to several men, and they catch on rather quickly. You’ll be able to have a conversation right then and there, and it works long term too - they might’ve forgot their manners by the time you talk to them again, but by repeating this, they’ll eventually learn to let you talk without you having to do this at the start of every convo. Source: I have a very stubborn older brother, who eventually learned too.

1. When they interrupt you, stop talking. Don’t try to raise your voice or battle them. Be completely quiet and wait.

2. Ignore everything they’re saying. Do not actually listen - just wait until they shut up. Don’t make a point of anything they say, do not answer to anything they say, do not refer to anything they say here. Literally do not listen a single word. Let them rant as long as they want.

3. When they finally shut up and wait for your reaction, say: ”I wasn’t done talking.”

4. Start over whatever you were saying when they interrupted you. I don’t care if it was a 10-minute explanation of rocket science. Start. Over. Repeat you original thought, but do not add anything related to what they just said while talking over you. That gives them the idea that it’s okay to interrupt you, you’ll still listen and pay attention and they’ll get their point clear without having to listen to yours. (It’s especially funny when you get done and they expect you to keep going talking about whatever they talked over you. The face when it sinks in that you didn’t listen a single word is glorious.)

5. If they interrupt you again, return to step 1. If you find yourself repeating the cycle over 3 times, tell them: ”you’re not letting me speak. Either you listen and wait for your turn, or our conversation ends here.” If they try to make excuses, laugh it off or keep interrupting, end the conversation. Prove them that if they wont let you speak, they’re not worth your time.

Why does this work? First, because sometimes talking over is internalized and men don’t actually notice they’re doing it. Being vocally called out makes them realize it and pay attention to it - especially if it happens more than once. Secondly, by refusing to aknowledge anything they say when they interrupt you, they’ll soon realize they will not get their own point across if they keep doing that. Peoole and especially men have the need to be heard and paid attention to when they talk - when you make it clear that by talking over you, they will not have your attention, they’ll learn to wait until you’re done, because they know that’s when you will be paying attention and actually listening.

Go my darlings. Have some actual conversations where your point of view is just as valid as his. Demand the basic respect of being heard. You can actually have some interesting conversations with men when they’re forced to listen too, when being louder is not going to make them feel like they’re dominating the conversation or winning the argument.
