That’s actually awful advice to give to people with clinical depression and other disorders that affect emotions and most of those people are probably exhausted and sick of the fact that people just keep telling them to not be sad anymore.

(via butterscotchcreys)

I don’t think he meant it that way…I think he meant as like-keep doing things and look on the bright side of things. Don’t let yourself be dragged down by the people who are trying to bully you because you are stronger then them.

(via lolloki)

That’s not what he said, though.  And sometimes it’s not what you mean, but what comes across.

(via myfeetlitup)

the question asked what he would say to his 13 yo self (he did generalize it but still it was relating to his personal experiences). if the question had been about say suicidal teens, or people dealing with depression yes, but he was relating it to his personal experiences and the best advice he personally could give to people and not medical professional advice.

I’m with couldbe here.  And that’s not to say anyone who was triggered by this shouldn’t have been/shouldn’t be - obviously. I’m not trying to qualify what people do or don’t feel because of my own personal understanding of the quote versus someone elses. But I do think the contextualization here is important, especially keeping in mind exactly to who and to what publication he was talking to.   

(via trionerd)

Yes, context is important. However, by his own words, what he said isn’t framed as just advice he would give himself, but “the best advice [he] could give anyone now” and that’s fucked up. It’s really wrong to tell people not to feel things, or that they need to respond in this way instead. Giving his former self advice is one thing, but that’s not how he worded it.

And I don’t care how awesome a person is normally, or what sort of fantastic things they do, I spend almost every day dealing with someone telling me I shouldn’t feel [whatever emotion], I should instead [do this thing]. Fuck that, and people who say that can fuck off.

On the topic of movies that will never get made, I would like one of the X-Men where Scott puts Logan in charge of a roller derby team and it’s basically Logan and all the girls — Jubilee, Hisako, Rogue, Kitty, Molly (who is not an X-Man, but for this she can be, because she can beat up Wolverine, which is always hilarious), Laura Kinney, um I don’t know how many people you need on roller derby team — on a road trip while learning to become a team and being friends and fighting evil that threatens to get in the way of the championships and must be stopped. And Jubilee somehow gets her way so all the costumes are bright pink and sparkly, including Logan’s outfits. “If it was up to Logan, we would all look like bumblebees!”

I swear, the people who write these must be trolling on some level.

Some highlights from “The Avengers” Parental Guide (spoilers?):

Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking - “A man pours himself a drink (and drinks) and offers an alien deity one (he declines at first, but asks for the drink later).”

Frightening Images - “An alien deity is shown terrorizing guests at a party, gouging a man’s eye out with a device on a table like an altar and forcing all those present to kneel before him; the eye-gouging is very startling and this villain’s mental state (which is significantly unhinged throughout the film, suggestive of mental illness) may be upsetting or frightening on its own.”

Profanity - “1 not fully enunciated scatological term, 1 mild scatological term, 2 anatomical terms, 7 mild obscenities, name-calling.” … I think they’re mostly talking about Tony Stark here :)

Violence - “A superhero tells a large green superhero to “smash” and the large green superhero responds with a smile and begins destroying many alien soldiers; he leaps onto a side of a building and using his fists to smash the heads and bodies of alien soldiers.”

…..I think most of what I find funny about it is how each character is described so vaguely, as if by someone who’d never seen or heard of superheroes before…

“(which is significantly unhinged throughout the film, suggestive of mental illness)”

Oh, yes, dangerous, manipulative, murderous, of course it suggests mental illness. The mentally ill, always so dangerous to others. We’re such a violent menace, call out the superheroes to save the world. /eyerolling sarcasm

Black Women’s Transitions to Natural Hair

str8nochaser:

neoafrican:

A video on black women’s decision to embrace their naturally kinky hair, rather than use chemical straighteners.

What is weird to me in the comments is the white women who are like “I so identify with these women! I decided to stop coloring my hair and embrace going grey or my natural hair color and I feel so liberated!”

Um. 

No. 

The REASON why being a black woman with natural hair is quietly revolutionary is that there is a historical and more importantly RACIAL component to our hair. We as women of color were expected to wear our hair straight— to the point that in certain settings, natural hair is still seen as “unkempt” “dirty” and “unprofessional”. Unlike ones natural hair color, your natural texture can affect your financial future. 

I remember vividly two instances where I seriously considered my hair as it pertained to my income earning power:

When I was getting ready to graduate from college, me and all my friends who had been freewheeling and natural went ahead and got more “corporately acceptable” hair styles. Men AND women. My male friends cut off their beautiful locs, me and many of my female friends got braids with straight textured hair (for a temporary solution) although some actually went ahead and relaxed their hair. 

The second time around I was transitioning from the public to the private sector, and my mom, point blank, said “you’ll never get a job unless you relax your hair.” I loved my natural hair and how heatlhy it was, but I needed a job and so I went head and relaxed. 

THAT is the difference… our natural textures are just starting to become accepted in spehers that influence our economic futures… more so than just a style, beauty or self acceptance thing. 

THAT is the revolution in being natural. We are stating (however implicitly) that Mainstream America will accept and celebrate our natural African beauty and not punish us for refusing to conform any longer.

Let’s not beat around the bush here…

OR SHALL WE?!

Why the fuck is she cuddling with Tampax at what appears to be a pool that is also the ocean?

I want a tampon commercial where the women are fighting zombies or some shit.

And they’re all beat up and bloody and shoving tampons into bullet wounds to stop the bleeding.

And I want one of the ladies to full-on decapitate a zombie with a machete or maybe a scythe.

And then I want her to look directly into the camera with blood running from an open wound on her forehead and say,

“For the fighting spirit.”

^ That commercial would win all of the Oscars.

That commercial would make more sense that all this faffing about through the fields of daisies and cuddling your fucking tampons bullshit…

What are you talking about?

I sit by the pool/ocean cuddle my tampons all the fucking time.

Who wants to start a tampon company with me just so we can make that commercial?

What would it be called, Tampocalypse? I’d be game if it were called Tampocalypse.

reblogging for the priceless notes

The Tampocalypse

FOR THE FIGHTING SPIRIT.

Well periods aren’t all ‘Let me parade around in my motherfucking white bikini at the beach and shake my ass around in front of the hot boys while snuggling my tampon box”

IT’S LITERALLY A BLOOD BATH!!

IT’S A WAR!

IF YOU GET IN MY WAY, FUCKER I WILL KNOCK YOU THE FUCK OUT!

Tampocalypse.

I love the internet. 

I would buy the shit outta that.

This made me laugh my ass off this morning - I love this! I would buy the shit outta this.

Let’s all take a moment and appreciate the people of tumblr.

no matter what blog you have, i think everyone will reblog this just because it is that fucking great…

I seriously think all females should read this, then we should raise all the money to get this shit made! for real

While not all women use or need to use tampons, and not only women use or need to use tampons, I support the hell out of the Tampocalypse commercial. Sitting softly by a languid pool is probably the *last* thing tampons bring to my mind. A bathroom that could be used in the next zombie apocalypse movie, yes, that.

littledust asked: Thank you for your AWESOME fic comment. <33333 I finally have time to work on the second episode today! FRIENDSHIPS FOR EVERYONE.

I AM FILLED WITH EXCITEMENT THAT WE MAY HAVE THE SECOND EPISODE SOON.

On the one hand, I want it to be doled out slowly, so we can enjoy it and discuss it and share it. On the other, I WANT IT ALL RIGHT NOW, I WANT TO SQUEEZE IT TO MY HEART. So there’s that.

sottovoice asked: That Tina speech is a thing that actually happened. Unfortunately the ~*lesson*~ that she learned in the course of the episode was that that initial speech was selfish and wrong. This fucking show.

THI IS WHY WE CAN’T HAVE NICE THINGS, GLEE. FUCK YOU, FUCK YOU, FUCK YOU. FUCK. YOU. FUCK YOU.

God, the rage this show makes me feel. You’re right. It’s much better when taken as the bits and pieces this part of Tumblr fandom shows me. I prefer this SO MUCH.

Does look slightly less overly dramatic and far more funny. I appreciate this.
