This is an incredibly important lesson to learn.

A good person who does something bad will feel bad for it.

A bad person who does something bad will not care, or even derive joy or pleasure from their bad deeds.

to everyone worried that they aren’t a good person because they make mistakes, this is what i mean when i say “but you feel bad about it, and you own up to it, and you’re learning and trying to get better.” you’re not a bad person.

fyi things like insulin, hearing aids, wheelchairs, glasses costing money at all is a form of structural ableism

disabled people should not have to pay to live their lives like everyone else. and in the case of insulin, disabled people should not have to pay to Not Fucking Die

Seeing a lot of people comparing insulin to food and saying "what, should we just make food completely free too then?"

Yeah?? We should??? That's the logical conclusion, not a gotcha. People in general should not have to pay money to just stay alive

ALSO FUCKING HOUSING. nobody should have to pay for a safe place to lay their head at night. all necessities should be free (and not like barebones as fuck either)

Fandoms lately.

This is

LITERALLY

What the “dead dove do not eat” tag/warning means

For the record.

It’s not about the darkness of the content!

It’s about “did you read the tags? I am not joking about the content, that is what you’re getting, don’t cry to me about it if you thought it would somehow be something else.”

I got a new phone recently and haven't been able to log in to this account until just now, but I'm very glad to be back! :D

“JUST MARRIED,” Fernando, seated, and his husband, both members of Los Angeles’ Blue Max Motorcycle Club, get pulled over as they leave their wedding ceremony, December 1969. Photo c/o @onearchives. In the mid-twentieth century, the Blue Max Motorcycle Club, along with many other gay motorcycle clubs, provided an alternative to gay bars, which were constantly at risk of police raids and harassment. #lgbthistory #lgbtherstory #lgbttheirstory #lgbtpride #queerhistorymatters #haveprideinhistory (at Los Angeles, California)

fun fact: motorcycle clubs in the U.S. were founded and run largely by gay men who missed the homosocial camaraderie of being in the U.S. military during WWII. the lifestyle and aesthetics of those motorcycle clubs gave rise to many of the stereotypical/classic gay “looks” (leather, chaps, etc) and indeed to the gay leather scene itself (both the gay male leather/biker scene and the lesbian/dykes on bikes leather/biker scene)

Just to add to this - the classic “metal look” that heavy metal rock came to be associated with (leather, studs, tight fitting clothes) was introduced by Rob Halford of Judas Priest, an openly gay man who says he was simply wearing the look from the gay leather subculture on stage, and people started imitating him.

So the two “iconically heteo” fixtures of masculinity - biker gangs and heavy metal music, are both actually just gay culture that heteros unknowingly adopted.

unfortunately I'm watching supernatural and someone on screen said 'there are No Wolves in pennsylvania' and I was like. what a bold incorrect statement. where did they possibly get that idea from. so I googled it...google is insisting there are no wild wolves in pa?? except I've Seen wolves here?? there used to be a wolf that would hang out in my backyard and roam around the neighborhood?? like Everyone knew about this wolf we assumed he lived on the golf course and would come to our yards if he got spooked by golfers (very quiet block). like we all thought he just lost his pack or whatever so people just gave him a wide space and let him chill, he didn't try to break into any houses or attack any pets but this was definitely. a wild wolf. where. where did he come from what do you MEAN there aren't wolves in pennsylvania I'm literally spiraling right now

still feeling so gut-punched over this

To be fair, PA also said "we did not reintroduce mountain lions, they are not there, you're seeing really big house cats, please keep coming to the parks and camp sites and ignore that video, that was totally not a mountain lion, someone took last week"

okay I'm sorry but this came up on pinterest and I Screamed

you are the state of Pennsylvania (allegedly)

i just showed this to a friend from pennsylvania and 1. theyre losing their mind bc theyve seen mountain lions which prompted them to look it up which leads me to 2. this fucking bonkers article

[caption: "We've been here 45 years and I've probably been told by people at least 100 t imes that they've seen a cougar or mountain lion," said owner Vince Hall. "I kind of doubt they saw a cougar, but I'm not God."

in real life you will probably not respond to harassment in a sexy, clever, scripted way where you come out with the upper hand and everyone claps. you will freeze up and your moment will pass, or your voice will shake when you tell them to stop and you’ll realize two minutes later that you’re gross and sweaty and sticky from the adrenaline. maybe you’ll be on the ball and answer in a way you actually think is pretty smart and get ignored, or they’ll get more aggressive when you mouth off to them. you almost never will walk away feeling victorious. you walk away feeling uncomfortable and relieved that it’s over. you’ll think about it later and imagine that maybe you could have said something else. maybe you’ll feel ashamed that you weren’t quicker-witted, weren’t able to cut them down to size, weren’t able to avoid that lingering sick feeling in the pit of your stomach, as though there’s some kind of magical words you could have said that would have left you feeling less powerless. there really aren’t.

Honestly this is such an important lesson to learn. If someone threatens, belittles, or verbally assaults you, you will likely feel bad, no matter how you respond. Please don’t beat yourself up for feeling emotions that are perfectly healthy and justified.

abused kid culture is that one line™ your abuser said to you that’s now seared into your memory like a burn wound scar

Hey, since this whole Chapelle thing is coming up again, reminder that Daphne Dorman was a full and complete human being who is not your prop to talk about a man who has declared himself a TERF.

I don't care what you have to say about him, keep her name out of your mouth unless you actually knew her.

I met Daphne in 1996 when we both worked at PARF. She was hilarious and sharp and so kind to me when I was an awkward kid. She was close friends with MK's dad.

The day she left us is fucking burned in my memory. Everyone was frantic, trying to find her, looking for news.

She's not your prop. She was a person. She was real.
