There are Five Valid Occupations in this world:
1. Jaded, washed up private detective
2. Master thief
3. Cowboy
4. Feral Mad Scientist
5. Polar Explorer Overdosing on Hubris
Okay, teenagers are a bit immature but you want to know what is really, really immature?
Sexualizing things meant for kids and then harassing those kids when they say they don’t like it.
Kids aren’t stupid and they don’t deserve to be ridiculed by adults who don’t give a damn.
This is so cool and makes me feel so happy!
A list of older bisexual terminology in Bisexuality: A Reader and Sourcebook, providing insight into the terminology the older bisexual community and broader LGBT community used.
Note: I feel it’s necessary to point out that “bisexual lesbian”* in this sense referred to bi women who associated and connected with the lesbian community, were in relationships with women (potentially specifically with lesbian women), active politically wrt to second wave feminism, and is seemingly synonymous with the “gay/lesbian-identified bisexual” we can find in use in earlier releases of the Bi Women Quarterly. Please regard that the bisexual community faced (and still continue to face) biphobia, and exclusion at worst, and terminology such as the above was used to show a connection to such communities, or a political alignment towards LGBT liberation movements.
Secondly, note the inclusion of “gender minorities” within the definition of bisexual. This can also be found in the definition of bisexual in Bis and Androgyny Today by Gary North within Bisexuality: A Reader and Sourcebook.
online friendships are a delicate mix of “i know all your deepest secrets” and “wait you’re not left-handed”
Asian fetishization is so normalized among kpop stans. There are so many ppl (especially minors who need learn better) that say they love “asian men uwu” and we learn to just ignore them and move on. There are tons of ppl out there that do this and its gross and seems impossible to educate them all. Plus there are a lot of ppl that will be stubborn and say we’re just being sensitive/ its a compliment/ asian men are nicer and a whole lot of other bullshit 😪 it’s tiring.
In hs, I had a classmate that said she had a “preference” for asian and white men. There are so many things wrong with that. We all know when ppl say this they mean east (maybe se) asians and it’s blatantly racist to non-east asian poc. And the thought process that asian men aren’t capable of abuse bc the idols/actors you stan are nice guys is disgusting. Also, asian ppl aren’t an aesthetic. Every asian guy isn’t gonna dress nice and making asian men into a dreamy fantasy is gross (not to mention it disregards poor asians, trans asians or anyone that doesnt fit your Ideal Asian.)
I could go on but i’ve said enough. I’m just asking you say something to people fetishizing east asians. You dont have to go into a full argument but tell them theyre being gross so if theyre willing to look into it, they’ll see their mistake and better themselves.
My aesthetic is stories about kids living is rural areas with supernatural overtones.
A threat
it’s tea time
Esral Shikh has organised a worldwide campaign to call for a permanent ceasefire in gaza. Here are the details:
Total Strike on Monday, 11 Dec 2023.
It is necessary to paralyse the movement of life and the economic wheel in all countries so everyone feels directly affected by the genocide happening in Gaza.
Start making communications, spreading the word, mobilise your communities.
This strike includes transportation, aviation, trade, banks, ports, and even schools and universities.
Here’s how you can join the strike:
Don't buy anything (cash or online)
Don't use your bank account, and don't make any transaction
Don't leave your house
Deactivate your Facebook accounts (you can reactivate them later)—please make sure to follow the palestinians on other social media platforms to keep updated on their posts
Leave 1-star reviews on Instagram, Whatsapp, and Facebook on your app store and play store for silencing pro-palestinian voices and supporting genocide.
I would also suggest to not stream anything for the whole day (incl spotify, netflix, youtube, hulu, paramount, amazon prime, etc)
Tweet using the hashtag #StrikeForGaza
[For US citizens] sign your strike card as well
Do all these things together for maximum pressure
We are protesting but our protests are going largely unnoticed by the people in power, so we need to increase pressure.
Stop all operations on a working day, let the world feel even a fraction of what it’s like to have your life put on hold. It’s only a day. We can do this. If we mobilise and get people together who support this cause, we can make this happen.
17,400+ people have been killed. 7,000+ of which are children. 1.9M people have been displaced. Please. You owe it to them to speak up. Please stop this. Please call for permanent ceasefire.
It is short notice for some places, I apologise for that. These posts only just started circulating and showing up. Regardless, doesn’t hurt to try.
