TW: pedophilia, grooming

Fuck game grumps and fuck Dan Avidan. I’ve been a fan since I was 12 years old and I can’t believe they used their platform to groom underage girls

Tumblr I need your help

My best friend’s crappy boyfriend got her pregnant.

This wasn’t consensual at all. He slipped the condom off during sex when she wasn’t looking, and dumped her after he heard the news.

She needs an abortion, but her parents are strictly pro life and won’t help her. She’s about a few weeks in, and I don’t want her to drop out of school because of the negative feedback she’ll get. It’s bad enough that she already gets anxiety attacks from stress.

Getting an abortion at Planned Parenthood costs about 300-900 dollars. It would mean the world to me if anyone could help by donating to her paypal. She’s a bright student and a very talented programmer. Anything helps.

Dear St@rco fans,

Stop taking media that is explicitly about same gender couples and applying them to your ship. I.e. Don’t make “In A Heartbeat” AUs for St@rco. Don’t make St@rco music videos to Studio Killers’ song “Jenny”. By using these things in your AUs for a het ship you are completely missing the point of them. They are specifically about LGBT+ people dealing with LGBT+ issues. In A Heartbeat is a short film about a young boy in love with another boy and his fear of being outed to his peers. Jenny is about a woman in love with her best female friend, and is also afraid to confess and out herself.

So unless you’re using Trans Girl Marco when you put St@rco into this AU, don’t do it at all.

Sincerely,

A lesbian who’s getting really tired of this shit happening over and over again

BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER (2022)

Dominique Thorne as Riri Williams/Ironheart

i will tell anyone who listens about how besides being a loose adaptation of the illiad, the spongebob squarepants movie is about coming out

I came to this realization years ago but: Korea loves Kpop girls, but don't love the actual girl.

They love the persona: the aegyo, the sexy stage, the bubbly songs, the submissiveness of female idols.

However, when these girls; these women (because I feel like some of them aren't even seen as that) are vocal about feminism, inequality, self love, or take any control over their lives; they are demonized in an instant. If someone leaked pictures of them that were supposed to be private, they are slut shamed, attention whores, ugly, or not that talented to begin with.

And this isn't restricted to kpop. This isn't restricted to Korea itself. But this is a factor, one of many, that messes with someone's mental state. Which could lead to things like suicide.

This quick "shoot down idols for being slightly flawed or human" is prevalent to both genders. We've lost idols from both genders. But there will ALWAYS be a different standard for women because they are supposed to be the pure innocent person that fits the societal gaze.

At the end of the day, if we do not break that mentality thrusted at us that these female idols (and all idols too) are simply here to be Barbie dolls and not human beings, then we run the risk of losing another idol.

Your friend can actually charge him for rape, what he did is called stealthing and it is definitely illegal.

I actually didn't know what it was called, so after my friend gets her abortion and therapy, I will definitely seek justice

Howdy y’all

So just a clarification

there have been some misconceptions about bisexuality and what it is so I wanna clear them up! This isn’t about any other sexuality, just bisexuality.

Bisexuality is the attraction to all genders. Some bi people have a preference, some don’t. For some, gender preference is a part of it, for others, personality and who the person is is a part of it. Bisexual people are attracted to ALL genders. Bisexuality is an all inclusive gender attraction.

It’s not two or more (because two or more implies that you can be attracted to a certain amount while being exclusionary to others and that isn’t good. A preference is different from exclusion.)—it’s not gender over personality—it’s not some genders and not others—it’s not strictly preference.

If you are a bisexual person who has a preference of who you are attracted to—then cool, you are bisexual (I.e, I am bi myself, a bi nonbinary wlw, but I lean more toward women aligned people, but that doesn’t mean I’m not attracted to other genders). If you are a bisexual person who doesn’t quite know who you like but you know you are attracted to every gender under the sun, cool—you are BI. If you are a bisexual person who is like ‘fuck it’, idgaf about gender I just care about who you are, as long as your personality vibes with me I like you—gender isn’t a factor’ then you are valid and you are bi.

Bisexuality isn’t exclusionary. 

(If your bisexuality excludes certain genders then that’s problematic. However, so many bi people have been screaming to the heavens for the last decade to let y’all know that , overall, exclusionary people aren’t an issue in our community—at least no the point that a lot of people make them seem. Of course there are issues of transphobes in our community…just like every community. Like even gay and lesbian sexulities dealt with early ideas and beliefs that the sexualities only catered toward people on the cis binary. Lesbian and gay people have been fighting, just like bisexual people to let y’all know that this mindset is harmful and that just bcs a few transphobic, uneducated people thought that was okay—that doesn’t reflect the community. The sexualities have adapted, called out shit, etc., esp non binary and trans people within those sexualities. Bisexuality is literally the same way but y’all don’t let bisexuals breathe…anyway) 

Bisexuality is having a preference. Bisexuality isn’t having one. Bisexuality isn’t sure if you have one. Bisexuality is not giving two hells about gender. Bisexuality is an attraction to all genders, no matter how big or how small—

thanks for coming to my ted talk.

Here’s the thing about the air nomads.

I introduced a friend to ATLA a few nights ago, and they had only known two things about the entire show: the cabbage meme, and that Aang apparently wants to ride every large and dangerous animal he can possibly find. We got through the first five or so episodes, and my friend noted that Aang is exactly what a 12-year-old would be like if given godlike powers, and that this is literally just what he could do with airbending. He can’t even wield any of the other elements, and he’s one of the most powerful people on the planet, because he’s an airbender.

And that got me thinking.

This snippet from Bitter Work is one of the few pieces of concrete information we get about the airbenders, at least in ATLA. Iroh is explaining to Zuko how all four of the elements connect to the world and to each other.

Fire is the element of power, of desire and will, of ambition and the ability to see it through. Power is crucial to the world; without it, there’s no drive, no momentum, no push. But fire can easily grow out of control and become dangerous; it can become unpredictable, unless it is nurtured and watched and structured.

Earth is the element of substance, persistence, and enduring. Earth is strong, consistent, and blunt. It can construct things with a sense of permanence; a house, a town, a walled city. But earth is also stubborn; it’s liable to get stuck, dig in, and stay put even when it’s best to move on.

Water is the element of change, of adaptation, of movement. Water is incredibly powerful both as a liquid and a solid; it will flow and redirect. But it also will change, even when you don’t want it to; ice will melt, liquid will evaporate. A life dedicated to change necessarily involves constant movement, never putting down roots, never letting yourself become too comfortable.

We see only a few flashbacks to Aang’s life in the temples, and we get a sense of who he was and what kind of upbringing he had.

This is a preteen with the power to fucking fly. He’s got no fear of falling, and a much reduced fear of death. There’s a reason why the sages avoid telling the new avatar their status until they turn sixteen; could you imagine a firebender, at twelve years old, learning that they were going to be the most powerful person in the whole world? Depending on that child, that could go so badly.

But the thing about Aang, and the thing about the Air Nomads, is that they were part of the world too. They contributed to the balance, and then they were all but wiped out by Sozin. What was lost, there? Was it freedom? Yes, but I think there’s something else too, and it’s just yet another piece of the utter brilliance of the worldbuilding of ATLA.

To recap: we have power to push us forward; we have stability to keep us strong; we have change to keep us moving.

And then we have this guy.

The air nomads brought fun to the world. They brought a very literal sense of lightheartedness.

Sozin saw this as a weakness. I think a lot of the world did, in ATLA. Why do the Air Nomads bother, right? They’re just up there in their temples, playing games, baking pies in order to throw them as a gag. As Iroh said above, they had pretty great senses of humour, and they didn’t take themselves too seriously.

But that’s a huge part of having a world of balance and peace.

It’s not just about power, or might, or the ability to adapt. You can have all of those, but you also need fun. You need the ability to be vulnerable, to have no ambitions beyond just having a good day. You need to be able to embrace silliness, to nurture play, to have that space where a very specific kind of emotional growth can occur. Fun makes a hard life a little easier. Fun makes your own mortality a little less frightening to grasp. Fun is the spaces in between, that can’t be measured by money or military might. Fun is what nurtures imagination, allows you to see a situation in a whole new light, to find new solutions to problems previously considered impossible.

Fun is what makes a stranger into a friend, rather than an enemy.

Fun helps you see past your differences.

Fun is what fuels curiosity and openmindedness.

Fun is the first thing to die in a war.
