body positivity has largely failed because people started arguing for attractiveness and romantic prospects instead of respect and dignity

this is truly the best summary of what all of this SHOULD be about

btw if youre young and scared of doing adult things without your parents ive learned that like 90% of the time you can just tell the doctors office or the dmv "haha sorry ive never done this without help before... can you show me how to do this?" the employee will not care. if that means anything to you

this is my favourite post ever

sorry for [remembering a tumblr post about expressing gratitude instead of apologising to make the interaction more positive for the other person] i mean thank you for having a boyfriend who was so easy to run over withmy car and reverse over three times maybe four

"But why do you let your disability stop you?" Because that's.... what disabilities... do. That's... literally the basic definition... of being disabled... A disability impairs your ability to function. That's what the term means. That's the main thing

i wonder what they're gossiping about

had to draw them

@s-h-a-s-e

''i wasted those years'' who cares. you lived the only life you could've lived in those moments

They hate it when u dont abide by the same imaginary rules that they force themselves to live under

this fourth of july, instead of celebrating a country whose wannabe-dictator president is funding and fueling genocide, essentially building concentration camps, among a myriad of other awful things, please consider supporting any of the following:

LDF (legal defense fund)

the aclu

democracy forward

immigrant legal resource center

the sameer project

palestine children’s relief fund

dahnoun mutual aid

well. yes!

People keep acting like gerrymandering is the only form of voter suppression. Privileged blue state sapphire city urban queers living in relative safety telling everyone else their vote doesn't matter and both parties are the same is also a form of voter suppression.

#weird how no one is pushing the right wing to not vote

Activist Malek Al-Shanbari wrote: "Just now, I received a call informing me that my friend, the released prisoner Mohammed Al-Basyouni, is in critical condition at Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir al-Balah.

What's even more heartbreaking is that when I inquired about what happened, I was told: he fell from the fourth floor. I immediately recalled his old story, the day his tent flooded, when he told me he had pitched it on the roof of the Deir al-Balah municipality building, thinking the height would protect it from the flooding.

He didn't know that tents here don't just flood, they can be blown away… they can turn into birds in a second. Imagine that Mohammed and his family fell from that height!! In the age of modern architecture, in a year when Tesla will launch the sale of apartments in space, we are powerless to protect a piece of cloth.

All of this is happening right now, in front of the entire world, which is reading these words from under its heavy blankets in its warm home, by its heater. What kind of world is this?"

at some point in your life you will be boiling fruit, water, sugar, and lemon juice in a pot to make a syrup or jam. the instructions will tell you to simmer for a certain amt of time. your timer will go off and you will look at the pot and go, "hm, this doesn't look thick enough. maybe i'll let it go for another 10 minutes." this is the devil speaking. it's only so liquid right now because it is at boiling point. it will thicken when it cools down. learn from the follies of my youth and do not let this happen to you

at some point in your life you will be making a sauce or a stew in which you need to add cornstarch to thicken it. and you will prepare a slurry of starch in cold water and think "this looks like way too little starch to thicken this amount of liquid." this is the devil speaking. cornstarch instantly polymerizes at 95°C and if you add too much it will turn into an impossibly thick goop.

If we cannot save her in time she may die

I will not forgive the silence of anyone who scrolls past this plea and ignores our pain.

This is not an exaggeration or an attempt to pressure—it is what the doctors have confirmed. My wife’s health is deteriorating due to a severe vitamin deficiency and malnutrition and her body can no longer endure any delay

The urgent surgery and treatment are her only chance to survive. Every day without support brings us closer to the worst.

I stand helpless beside her watching the woman I love grow weaker before my eyes with nothing left but hope in the kindness of others

You cannot hide this in the tags, bestie. This is too lovely to keep a secret.

Theodor would approve.
