So my boyfriend of almost two years (Dec. 20 is our anniversary) and I just got engaged. His mother is pissed. She's originally from mexico but is an american citizen. Since we've started dating she's made it very clear that she doesn't like me cause I'm white. She's always pressuring my fiancé to date a nice Hispanic girl. Today she did so again right in front of me after knowing for two days that we're getting married.
My fiancé and her don't get along but I want to keep the peace because both of my parents are deceased. The problem is since we've told her she has been extra cruel to me. Calling me ugly and complaining about me being a tomboy. Needling my insecurities. I don't want to be the reason he doesn't have a relationship with his mom.
This situation is tearing me up which in turn tears him up which tears me up even more. I'm not an amazing person but I wish she'd see pass my skin and realize we're good together. Put her love for her son above her prejudices.
I find it somewhat funny because my Texas redneck family completely embraces him, and he gets along great with them. They see we are perfect for one another and accept it.
For us it's never mattered that I'm white and he's Hispanic. We bonded over all our similarities. We're both nerds. We met at work and for six months before we started dating we talked about star wars, batman, and harry potter. I thought I'd always be the girl trapped in the friend zone until he asked me out. He calls me beautiful even though I'm not and I call him dork because he really is. He's a misunderstood goofball who I love and want to spend the rest of my life with him. We're soulmates.

Listen, listen, here’s a thing… you don’t have to have ADHD in order to use ADHD life hacks if they will make your life easier. Executive Dysfunction, regarless of cause, is a mother fucker that will ruin your life and make you utterly miserable, so if something helps? Good! I am so glad for you! Please do the thing! Life is hard enough as it is without giving ourselves extra invisible hurdles to jump.
So if you’re struggling? Please allow yourself to be kind to yourself. You deserve it, no matter what society may have conditioned you to think. You are allowed to not always be struggling. You are allowed to rest, and make things in your life easier. It’s not a sign of weakness. It’s a sign of self care and adaptivbility, and those things are to always be commended.

Say whatever you want about Zack Snyder, like his work or don’t, but the man is known to always *always* try to cultivate a positive environment on his sets. He’s friendly with his actors, friendly with his crew, isn’t afraid to listen to them and hear their ideas. He’s a genuinely kind person. I mean, there’s a reason so many people LOVE working with him.
And for the past *seven years* he’s been trashed to hell and back because he dared to make a Superman movie some people didn’t like. His family went through the worst kind of tragedy and not only did the bloggers and detractors celebrate it, but they also mocked his attempts to get his true vision of Justice League released after the studios slapped his name on a product that wasn’t even his. Can you imagine being so full of hatred that you have no problem slandering a man’s name if it means him not getting his hands on your favorite fictional characters and then having the NERVE to complain about “tOxIcItY” because he fought for his movie and won?
And now, surprise, surprise, people are finally coming out to talk more openly about the nightmare that was the Justice League production under Whedon’s direction. The man came in as the unwanted director no one wished to work with and instead of being respectful of the situation and trying his best to preserve the work that had been done prior to his arrival, Whedon openly trash talked the director whose movie he was about to destroy and treated everyone on sets like shit. And y'all so desperate to cling onto some delusional and twisted narrative about Snyder that you’re willing to call everyone and their mothers liars instead of admitting that maybe, just *maybe* you could have been wrong.
Amy Adams didn’t even attend the premiere. Ray Fisher was accused of “cloud chasing” for speaking up. Gal and Ezra downright refused to shoot some scenes for Joss. Jason Momoa has always supported Zack. Ben Affleck left because he didn’t want to go through another production from hell and wasn’t in the right state of mind to defend his movie. Henry Cavill had his face literally butchered for the world to see. Junkie XL’s score was thrown to the trash to make place for nostalgia. Etc. Etc. ETC.
Zack Snyder and his cast and crew didn’t deserve this. Fuck you all so much for pretending for so long that they did.

When a political negotiation on Armand's behalf goes wrong for Claire, he must balance destroying the person who hurt her while taking care of her.
i think when someone does somethin problematic, better to look at it in the wider context of their other actions before condemning them for it. i think people’s actions overall outweigh their behaviour in a single moment. if i know someone is doing the work, donating, attending rallies, apologising when they mess up, supporting lgbt/black folk/poc financially, physically, socially, putting their money where their mouth is, etc. then i don’t really care if they’ve messed up in a moment or two (with relatively minor stuff) cos they’re clearly the type of person that’ll learn from it. maybe it’s a controversial opinion, and i’m not saying ppl shouldn’t be held accountable for their mistakes that can potentially harm others, but better to judge a bitch on their accumulated actions than their behaviour in a single moment.
So you might have seen this image going around the internet.
[ID: A high school hallway crammed with shoulder-to-shoulder teenagers, about three of whom are wearing masks. End ID.]
This is a high school in my area. This was the first day back. This picture, taken by a student, went viral (ha), and the superintendent was more or less forced to make a statement. It’s long and it’s a lot of bullshit but here’s the big stupid part.
“One area where we have received a good deal of feedback is mask use in our schools. Wearing a mask is a personal choice and there is no practical way to enforce a mandate to wear them. What we will do is continue to strongly encourage all students and staff to wear masks.”
If I have to explain to you the staggering level of bullshit in this statement, then you’ve never been an AFAB person in high school. Tank top? Sent home. Jeans too tight? Home. Collarbones showing? Home. Never mind the application of out-of-school suspension, which is its own kind of bullshit that we’re not here to discuss today. If you can send someone home for showing too much ankle you can send them home for not wearing a mask.
I’ve seen pushback against him on Twitter but they’ve already proven they don’t give a shit what we think, or care about the safety of the students OR staff. Only that things look like they’ve gone back to normal.
So it’d be a real shame if people from all over blew up their phones at 770-443-8000 or used faxzero.com to send 5 free faxes per day to 770-443-8089 making known their concerns about this anti-response to a massive public health risk. Make it a national issue and maybe shame our government into acting like they’ve got a single brain cell between them. It’d just be real upsetting. I’m just saying.
