Spreading information is a big part of activism too! These are our brother and sisters who are worth being seen and heard
“Human-Steve! I have been informed that you humans Celebrate an International holiday called Christ-Mass, and even though it seems to be a rather um... odd thing to celebrate, I have petitioned the rest of the crew to celebrate this holiday with you.”
“Wait, what does Jeww-Ish mean.”
“It means you don’t celebrate Christ-Mass? Does that make you alike with the creature Human-Heather described to me as the Grinch?”
my fav trope is like, nonhuman characters not understanding human needs/customs but still being super supportive of their human companion
“look what I found while exploring this planet’s surface!” “kilrak please I’m trying to sleep” “ah yes your human circadian rhythm. *stage whispering* I am supposed to be quiet during this time in your rhythm, yes?”
“the book I purchased on ragnok V says humans require physical touch when upset. therefore, I shall engage in a ‘hug’ with you.” *supremely awkward five-armed hug ensues*
*human sneezes* “OH MY GOD SIL'EEN GET THE MEDIC OUR HUMAN IS DYING”
“this pamphlet I received recently says that humans require companions and packmates in the form of small earth creatures. you should have told me this before we departed earth, but it is no worry. we will have to stop at the next trade planet to get you one of these ‘cats’ or ‘dogs’.”
Gryffindor pride today!
A quick reminder because I very nearly forgot myself, but house pride week is coming up y’all
House pride week is just a fun chance to show off your love for your hogwarts house and the parts of your personality it represents so it’d be great to get lots of people involved by:
wearing your house colours
sharing your art
posting love for your fellow house members
or anything else you fancy
If you want to get involved, use the relevant #housepride tag (e.g. #slytherinpride) and I’ll be sharing people’s selfies, art, etc for a celebration of each of the houses on the relevant blog
(and yes I’ll try and post a reminder the day before so we don’t forget haha)
Please reblog and add your nationality in the tags along with what you answered! I'm very curious about this; and it's not to shame anybody, so don't be rude!
Remember a mother feeding her child in public is partially for your own convenience, If she doesn’t feed her child you would be stuck listening to a screeching banshee.
Now I want you to ask yourself which would you rather tolerate?
A screaming child who doesn’t know any other way to express that it’s hungry?
Or letting the woman feed the baby.
Also if this is a stranger or someone who isn’t very close to you make sure you keep a respectable distance (about arms length) and keep you tone polite and positive (you look very nice in that dress vs. HEY YOU NICE DRESS). From personal experience even when the compliment isn’t threatening or sexual it is still scary when a guy invades your space to compliment you, or when they yell it at you.
Though I whole heatedly encourage guys to compliment girls, it is important to remember not to make a scene about it unless it is someone you know won’t mind.
I understand that following all these steps can be confusing and a little hard to follow but I assure you it is better to try and be polite rather than enthusiastic when talking to strangers.
I’m sorry for hijacking the post I just really wanted to put my little two cents in.
So, if im a boy and i want to compliment a girl, idk on her make up or clothes and etc, will it not make her uncomfortable? Not in a hit up way more of a i like your style, would it be ok? Im sorry if it sounds stupid sfjjxfxkhd im bad at communicating
I know what you mean. For most women, no, a general compliment won’t offend or scare them—and might actually brighten their day tremendously. I think a good rule of thumb in situations like these are if it’s sexual, don’t say it.
Respectful/safe examples:- your eyebrows look so good!- your makeup is poppin!- I love your outfit!- nice shoes!- your hair looks so pretty like that!
Disrespectful/unsafe examples:- nice tits!- your body is so sexy- you have a big ass- *wolf whistling* - I bet you’re good in bed
Given, every person is different. Some women may like being complimented on their body, but a lot of us don’t, ESPECIALLY when the compliments are coming from strangers. Basically, if your goal is to not make anyone uncomfortable or to avoid the possibility of making someone uncomfortable, the “respectful examples” are some decent ones to stick to. Anything semi-flirty or sexual can be risky.
I appreciate the fact that you cared enough to ask and don’t want to upset anyone. thank you for the kindness and consideration. have a great day! 💛
