the intersecting needs of christian childrens cartoons to make all biblical figures both painfully average looking white people and as un-sexualized as possible creates a hellish world where all of humanity is descended from 2 Jon Arbuckles

You don’t have to be grateful that it isn’t worse.
read that. read it again, and again, and again. somebody, somewhere, always has it worse than you. there is one person on this planet that has it the worst of all, and that person is NOT the only person allowed to be unhappy with their lot. if things are bad for you, they are bad for you. period.
This goes for trauma as well. A lot of times survivors get trapped in a cycle of minimizing/diminishing their trauma because “other people have it worse” - but there is no hierarchy of trauma. There is no ranking system for which traumas are “better” or “worse.” Your trauma is valid. Period.
IMPORTANT TRUTHS.
As a therapist, lemme just say: almost every trauma survivor I’ve ever had has at some point said “But I didn’t have it as bad as some people” and then talked about how other types of trauma are worse. Even my most-traumatized, most-abused, most psychologically-injured clients say this.
The ones who were cheated on, abandoned, and neglected say this. The ones who were in dangerous accidents/disasters say this. The ones who were horrifyingly sexually abused say this. The ones who were brutally beaten say this. The ones who were psychologically tortured for decades say this. What does that tell you? That one of the typical side-effects of trauma is to make you believe that you are unworthy of care.
Don’t buy into it, because it’s nonsense. It doesn’t matter if someone else had it “worse.” Every person who experiences a trauma deserves to get the attention and care they need to heal from it.

Being a good person is a choice. Don’t let people fool you into believing that truly good people never have bad thoughts, are never tempted by the easier path, by the low road, never mess up or act out selfishly. Never believe a person can be good without making a conscious effort.
Every single time you do something good, you’ve made a decision to make the world a little brighter.
Goodness is not an inherent trait, it is a choice. Keep making it! I see you, I’m proud of you, and I’m rooting for you!

Hello, UAF!
It is again this time of the year when to draw the line and summarize what stuff has happened in the past 12 months. Reference for previous 2014 and 2015.
What we got this year:
1.The big news in the beginning of the year was the announcement that “hey guys we may be in serious negotiations for TV series which may or may not happen but stay tuned”. And we stayed for several months. Still no idea what is going on there. Bu we had our little OMG moment at least this year (still better love story than Winter Dragon).
2. @uaf-events stepped up the game since the last year’s Secret Santa and this year they succeeded to organize two wonderful events - WOT BIG BANG 2016 and SECRET SANTA 2016 which showed off the amazing skills of the fandom again. I hope this tradition will continue on the next years.
3.Two artists caught the peak of fandom’s attention – @adamreadsthewheeloftime and @queen-serena. Their unique artistic choice of style to express their love for WOT and some character portraits that we saw for first time put them on the top of the game this year. It is great relief that the fandom still continue to show off new fresh artists and we keep receiving great pieces of art which has become instant classics. Honorable mention goes for one more extremely fresh artist – @aes-sedai-with-guns with their lovely absurd style and ideas.
4. @herenya-sedai and @neuxue continued to enlighten us with their wonderful meta thoughts with which we saw the series in a new light. Also we got fandom’s own @wheelofmeta blog.
5. Cards Against Randland has lived through a third wave of new worshippers and still going strong with extremely funny rounds and well spent fun time.
This time not so much controversies to worth mentioning in my opinion. Is this a good or bad sign? Is the UAF in doldrums waiting for the winds of 2017? :D The new TV series if it happens is going to give us plenty of debates, that is for sure.
So correct me if I missed some WOT events or new blogs worth mentioning and you can join nominations with your suggestions.
Let the Light keep you safe.

there has never been anything more accurate to my life and there probably never will be
start holding your boyfriends to best friend standards pls
“my boyfriend was annoyed that I didn’t shave for days” vs “my best friend was annoyed that I didn’t shave for days”
“my boyfriend doesn’t like my haircut so I’m growing it out again” vs “my best friend doesn’t like my haircut so I’m growing it out again”
“my boyfriend hates when I wear makeup so I guess I have to stop” vs “my best friend hates when I wear makeup so I guess I have to stop”
if your boyfriend would leave you for something that your best friend wouldn’t care about, KILL THEM AND EAT THEM
Lmfao
true tho because people forget having a partner is literally just having another best friend with a slightly different intimacy thrown in, not all the rules should change and you should feel 100% as comfortable with your partner as you do with a friend. it took me a long time to realize that.
and the story appears to be that two men who were having a conversation in Arabic were escorted off a Delta flight for not speaking English.
But, here’s the catch: one of them, the one who recorded the “aftermath” of them being escorted off the plane, is YouTuber Adam Saleh, who is a “YouTube prankster” by profession and is known for doing this kind of thing regularly, i.e. filming pranks on planes for clicks on YouTube. As it so happens, his most recent video was even within the last few days.
Examples:
So the way I see it, either karma came back to bite him in the ass, or this is another one of his “pranks” and he’s manipulating social media and slandering an entire multi-billion dollar corporation to accomplish it.
And, just learning this now, He also apparently makes those trash-ass “PRANKS IN THE HOOD” racist prank videos and calls black people “Abeed” which basically means “slave” in Arabic.
i’m so exhausted lmao
Yikes wtf
It’s been confirmed by everyone else on the plane that he apparently stood up three times, yelling something loudly in Arabic, and sat back dow, each time he was waiting for either passangers or the flight crew to react and when they finally did he said he was talking to his mom on the phone. This sort of shit puts more people in danger and reinforces the racist narrative that racism is simply about people of color playing the victim. This dude needs to be made an example of tbh because lying about this sorta thing goes so far beyond what could even be considered remotely okay so if you reblogged the video of him lying, reblog this too, and make sure his stupid ass face isn’t ever mistaken for a decent human being again.
Fuck this guy.
