Angelina Jolie, in Elle Magazine.

I fantasize a lot about just being left somewhere to be used. Like, chained to a wall or tied to a bed, and just left there to wait until someone was ready to pleasure themselves with me. Except, in practice, I know I get pretty bored pretty fast just being made to wait. Anticipation doesn’t do all that much for me unless there’s some sense of activeness to it – being blindfolded, being in predicament bondage, etc – and otherwise I just want the action to start up already. But, in fantasies, at least, I like imagining just being a little fixture, made to wait.

It’s okay to live a life others don’t understand.

With the
tide of history turning against them, Jessica Williams commemorates the anti-gay
protesters who will soon become irrelevant.

Science is not apolitical. Researcher bias is real and there are many instances where racist, homophobic, and misogynistic scientists have slanted data (often subconsciously) due to their worldview and bigots use this to justify their hatred. Science is an impressive tool for understanding the world but any tool can be misused and being a scientist does not automatically immunize someone against their internal biases or the prejudices that exist in their societal milieu.

I want to make an infomercial where it’s not clear what the guy’s selling. Like he’s demonstrating how powerful this vacuum is by sucking up a bowling ball but then he starts showing you how strong the bowling ball is by dropping it on some knives, but then he’s showing how the knives haven’t been damaged at all by using them to cut through some shoes and it goes on and on for two hours then just loops back to the start while a number flashes on screen the whole time and if you call it it just echoes whatever you say back to you.

like the problem with the tumblr community is that no one is allowed to safely fuck up

if i was my uneducated ignorant little 14 year old self y’all would have ripped me a new one and probably scarred me for life

and that’s so scary tbh, that a community of adults would and DO witch hunt and harass minors over things they’re being children about

How to gently acknowledge and inform a person:

Check their blog/content/about me. How old is this person? If they are still in HS/under 18, remember that this person is a minor and needs guidance, not chastising.

Second, look at a little bit of their tumblr. Are they going through serious mental health struggles(Depression/suicide/etc)? Please take this into account when formulating your response.

Finally, evaluate why you follow this person to begin with. Now, if you are 19 and following a 17 year old, then you are within the same age bracket and can talk to this person as if you are talking to a peer. 12/13/14/15 year olds are still formulating their opinions of the world, and you being nasty to them isn’t going to help inform their opinion. So why do you follow a 13 year old? Would you hang out with this person IRL if you two were in the same location? Would it be weird(mentally and physically) for you to hang out with this person? If the answer is yes, unfollow their blog and step away from the situation.

NOW, here is how you formulate a PRIVATE ASK OR FAN MAIL to someone who has said or done something problematic. Shaming them publicly for ignorance/limited world view is a great way to close someone off or harass them, and you don’t want to do either of these things. Online bullying can take on many forms, and being an adult harassing a young teenager adds to online culture problems

“Hey! I noticed that you reblogged (x). I wanted to let you know that this is really hurtful to (x) group, and it is offensive because of (x) reason. I just wanted to let you know because you may not have known. Thank you for receiving this message and listening”

This points out what is wrong, why it is wrong, and does not demand anything of the person you are sending this message to

And then you step away. Do not send this person 20 asks. Do not threaten them. STEP AWAY.

If they engage, respond, or ask further questions, answer them kindly. If they don’t respond, don’t continue to engage.

REMEMBER: you were 14 once too. You said and did things that you cringe at now. You said and did things that were problematic. Getting yelled at was not what you needed. You grew up, you learned, you changed. Let others do the same.
