 BLACK LIVES MATTER

Everyone on the Continent: wITchErs aRE scARy!1!

What to do if police officers arrive at your home

“I cannot boast of more than half a dozen women in all my acquaintance that are truly accomplished.” “Goodness, you must comprehend a great deal in the idea.” “I do.”

Pride and Prejudice (2005) dir. Joe Wright

Interrupting my unnecessary shit posting for something that is actually important

George Floyd, Rekia Boyd, Aiyana Stanley-Jones, Tamir Rice, Sandra Bland, Jordan Edwards.....These are just a few of the beautiful angels, whose lives were stolen from them and their families as a result of police brutality. It shatters my heart to know that there are so many other beautiful cherubs who have been killed, all of them innocent. When the people who were supposed to protect the innocent are killing them (especially CHILDREN), we know hatred and hostility is poisoning whatever humanity is left in this horrible, twisted society.

Do not look away. Do not close your eyes or stick your head in the sand. Remember them and tell their stories. NOT ALL LIVES MATTER UNTIL BLACK LIVES MATTER

here’s the link to donate to george floyd’s official memorial fund if you are able to contribute. if you can’t donate, please share. being black shouldn’t be a death sentence.

Jensen Ackles Chosen as 51st Bacchus for Krewe of Bacchus in New Orleans

The Krewe of Bacchus announced this morning on Facebook that Jensen Ackles (Dean Winchester, Supernatural) will reign as Bacchus (King) at the 51st Krewe of Bacchus.

According to the Krewe of Bacchus website, it “is one of the most innovative Mardi Gras parades in New Orleans Carnival history. In 1969 Bacchus broke with Mardi Gras traditions and announced that a national celebrity would reign as King”, and this year it is Jensen Ackles’ turn. The Krewe of Bacchus has had other celebrity kings in the past, including Will Ferrell, John C. Riley, Elijah Woods, and Nicolas Cage.

As you can see up above, the King is always dressed the part, and that is certainly something to look forward to!

Ackles will lead the parade on Sunday, March 3, 2019. On their Facebook post, the Krewe of Bacchus reported, “Bacchus is partnering with WWL-TV to broadcast the Bacchus parade at 10 p.m. from the Morial Convention Center where the Bacchus Rendezvous is held annually. The parade will also be available on WWL-TV.com and on mobile devices.”

During the most poor and homeless period of my life, I had a lot of people get angry with me because I spent $25 on Bath and Body Works candles during a sale. They couldn’t comprehend why the hell I would do that when I had been fighting for months to try and get us on our feet, afford food, and have an apartment to live in.

Those candles were placed beside wherever I slept that night. In the morning, I would move them and set them wherever I’d have to hang out. At one point I carried one around in my purse - one of those big honking 3-wick candles. I never lit them, but I’d open them and smell them a lot.

I credit that purchase with a lot of my drive that got me to where I am today. I had been working tirelessly, 15+ hour days with barely any reward, constantly on the phone or trying to deal with organizations and associations to “get help at”. It’d gone on for almost a year by the end of it, and I was so burnt out, to the point that I would shake 24/7. But I could get a bit of relief from my 3-wick “upper middle class lifestyle” candles. They represented my future goals, my home I wanted to decorate, and how I would one day not be in this mess anymore.

When we moved into the apartment, and our financial status improved, I burned those candles every single day. When they were empty, I cleaned them out, stuck labels on them, and they became the starting point of my really cute organization system I had ALWAYS planned to have.

So whenever I hear about someone very poor getting themselves a treat - maybe it’s Starbucks, maybe it’s a home deco item, maybe it’s a video game… I don’t judge them. I get it. I get that you can’t go without anything for that long without it making you go crazy. You need to pull some joy, inspiration, and motivation from somewhere.

BUCKY IS A PRINCESS!

The stories of women in my family who were forced into lives they didn’t want and didn’t utilize their passions breaks my heart. My grandma wanted to be a journalist and write about the injustices she saw inflicted on disabled ppl while she was volunteering at a state run institution as a teen. Her father decided that she was “too fat and stupid” for college and forced her to get married at 17 or else he’d make her homeless. As a kid she told me that she wished people believed that she had meaningful opinions on events around her. One of my great grandmothers wanted to be an artist but was pressured into marrying a man who beat her. She stayed up late each night when her children were in bed writing poetry and pasting it over elaborate collages she mad herself. We still have stacks of these notebooks she created but was never allowed to do anything with. My mother wanted to be an operatic singer and was considered a musical prodigy in her town because she taught herself three seperate instruments by 13. When she was 18 she met my then 30 year old father who emotionally manipulated her into giving up her dreams to start a family with him. As a kid I would hear her up at night playing the violin or doing vocal exercises until she became too depressed to practice anymore. Like idk y’all there’s a quiet type of violence in the way women’s talents are devalued and brushed aside in favor of bullying them into “traditional” roles that ultimately don’t fulfill what they wanted for their lives. We’ve lost so much art, music, writing, science, and happiness to misogyny.

I’m doing a social experiment called ‘agreeing with boys when they compliment you’. 

the results: 

It occurs to me that there are people who weren’t on this website in 2012 and therefore never saw the magical gif that you can actually hear:

It’s been over five years and that still impresses the hell out of me.

“Those poor boys”

“She deserves to be punished too.”

“I’m not saying I support rape, but-”

“Sorry to say - she deserved it.”

“She put herself in harm’s way”

“But if she was fingered, then that’s not rape.”

“She ruined their lives.”

Rami Malek as Freddie Mercury

the fact that bohemian rhapsody won when the critics thought it was shit really tells something. it got through people around the world and told a story that would’ve been so hard without the amazing cast and crew working on it. i’m so happy it won a golden globe. and for rami malek, taking on a role that no one else could’ve, for playing a character so hard to play, congratulations to him for winning. i’m so proud of my 4 dorky boys and the crew and queen.

here’s an idea: notice toxic trends in your behavior and, idk, change them

I’ve been thinking a lot about Destiel, since one of my friends said that she can just as easily ship Cas with Sam, since the three of them are the only characters that appear in every episode. She has a good point, but then I realised, the reason we ship Destiel more than Sastiel (nothing wrong with that btw) is because the way the show is written/edited/filmed makes everything to do with Cas connected to DEAN.

Who always calls Cas? (9x21, 5x14)

Dean

Who gets inordinately pissed at Cas, taking the things he does personally? (8x22)

Dean

Who does the weirdly long, eye sex contact thing with Cas? (8x7, 7x17, 7x21)

Dean

Who prays to Castiel, when things are going wrong, even when they don’t know if they can trust him? (8x17)

Dean

Who was Castiel trained to kill, when both brothers were a legitimate threat to the angels? (8x17)

Dean

Who gets all the romantic parallels of other lovers with Cas? (12x23, 6x20, 8x07)

Dean

Who is so beside himself with grief that he doesn’t think to care about a newborn baby, because Cas is dead? (12x23) And forgets everything but Cas when he’s stabbed? (9x03)

Dean

Who does Cas always look to when making declarations? (6x20, 12x23)

Dean

Who does the camera ALWAYS focus on when Cas reappears?  (8x21, 13x05)

Dean

Who did Castiel go to see before he made his Deal with Crowley? (6x20)

Dean

Who does Castiel come for, from the very beginning? (6x03, 6x21)

Dean

Who is the person that Cas hugs first after being apart from them for any length of time? (12x01, 9x21)

Dean

Who does Cas go on adventures/hunts with? (13x06)

Dean

When possessing Cas, who does Lucifer choose to taunt, even though he has a lot more history with Sam? (11x18)

Dean

And who do the other characters always pair Cas with? (7x23, 6x17)

Dean

When it comes to Castiel it is always, always, always, always, always, ALWAYS Dean… and that is why I believe in Destiel
