So quick background I am from Dominican Republic I was born there and I came here when I was 10 years old so I don’t come from much money. I am now 18 and I started to transition almost a year ago and the more I’ve been transitioning the more I have realize that it is unsafe for me to go out and live my truth without facial feminization surgery. Being a black trans woman I have a huge target on my back as it is, but it’s a lot harder when you can’t pass. At first in the beginning of my transition I thought I wasn’t going to get any surgeries or anything but I quickly realized that for me and my transition it’s a necessity. If you can’t donate that’s completely ok, I know that some people just can’t. I am one of those people, every time I see my trans sisters with a fund me account I want to donate so bad but then I have to worry about what I’m going to eat the next day. So if you can’t donate that’s completely ok, but if you can it’s greatly appreciated regardless thank you so much for reading my story and visiting my page. I hope everyone has and awesome day and stay safe. http://www.gofundme.com/2i4srdo

                       !!!!!!!!! BREAKING NEWS !!!!!!!!!!

The Tennessee Supreme Court ruled former sex slave Cyntoia Brown MUST serve 51 years in prison before she is eligible for parole.

According to them:

For those of you who haven’t yet caught up to this story:

Cyntoia Brown was a 16 yr old girl, who at the time of the incident was living in a room at a Nashville InTown Suites with Allen (the man who propositioned her for sex) because her pimp and boyfriend Garion McGlothen, nick-named “Kut Throat,” insisted that she needed to earn money.

Kut Throat abused her physically and sexually throughout the approximately three week period in which she lived with him.

After Allen took her to his house, he showed Cyntoia multiple guns, including shotguns and rifles. Later in bed, as she described in court, he grabbed her violently by the genitals, his demeanor became threatening and, fearing for her life, she took a gun out of her purse and shot him.

“theyre homophobic but theyre good people!!!” hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. are they really. are they REALLY. are they. are theyr eally. Are the

this post is making straight people mad keep reblogging

I don’t even procrastinate anymore I just straight up neglect 100% of my responsibilities

“Guns don’t kill people, people kill people.”

No. Shut the FUCK up.

Guns. Kill. People.

If we had gun control, none of this bullshit would have happened.

Don’t come at me with that “They’d just do it illegally anyway!!!!” Shit. Maybe so, but it would be more difficult for them to do so. Cruz got his gun legally, he had no problem doing so even though he had been reported to the FBI before.

Don’t blame this on mental illness

Don’t blame this on mental illness because this kid was mentally ill, but he also had easy access to guns.

And that’s what killed people.

Today was a hard day for many people. I normally don’t get involved in anything other than the fandom and if you unfollow me because of what I say, then good riddance.

Something has to change. Some of you say that your right to bare arms is that - your right. Sure. Sure it is. Why not. If you use guns responsibly and follow laws and rules - then sure. As a Canadian, I have no right to judge you for that.

But I am judging you. I am judging you for the countless lives lost here because your “right to bare arms” that has zero accountability is fucking killing people. You can argue that it’s people killing people. Go ahead. But their weapon of choice isn’t their fists, is it?

A gun gets the job done better, doesn’t it? The most pain, the most damage as quickly as you can fire that gun off. As many bullets as you can stuff in your pockets. You’ve counted how many lives you’re going to take with those bullets that you stuff in your pocket.

Do you know how many shootings have happened since the beginning of this year in America in a school? 8. That’s 8 preventable shootings. One shooter was a 15 year old. Why was a 15 year old allowed access to a gun?

At what point is it okay to have no gun controls in place that prevent a fucking 19 year old from picking up a rifle and killing 17 people at a high school. Never mind the injured ones.

The answer is - surprise: it’s not okay. The point is this is not-o-fucking-kay.

I’m absolutely sick to my stomach today. My friend goes to that school. She could have died today. She had friends who died today. She had her friends family die today.

And for what?

What reason can you give me that will excuse what happened today? What excuse can you provide to me that will allow me to see why it’s so important for you to carry a gun, to leave it laying around for a kid to pick up. For a toddler to accidentally kill a family member. For a child to kill themselves.

For a teenager to ruin the lives of 17 families. And traumatise the lives of the 3000+ students who have to walk through the halls next Tuesday that their friends and teachers bled in, screamed in, died in.

I saw videos from students phones. I heard that gun go off. I saw the smoke. I saw a laptop with bullet holes through the screen. That was a video. I was this affected by a video. Please tell me how the students today, how every survivor of a school or event shooting at any given time goes on with their lives. And why you having a gun at the ready is more important than the fear, the PTSD that 3100 more students will now struggle with after today.

Tell me.

“don’t judge a book by it’s cover” is a beautiful powerful sentiment that i fully ignore when book shopping

so im trying to decipher this chart on wikipedia that has common vampire weaknesses in it and

a ‘green/yes’ is a weakness, a ‘red/no’ is something that isnt a weakness, and a ‘?’ is something that has never been addressed but fucking riddle me this

in what lore are vampires weak to getting soggy in milk

i scrolled over to check to see what this could possibly be and

places a hand on me cheek

Years ago, you promised your firstborn to a witch. Since then, despite your best efforts, you can’t seem to get laid. The witch is starting to get pretty pissed.

Y’all get together to discuss your options and she starts coaching you on how to get men because she doesn’t want to waste more magic on you without promise of payment. The more time you guys spend together the more you realize you have a bit of a crush on her. Soon you’re sabotaging your dates on purpose to see her again. 

Long story short you fall in love and get married and do the sperm donor thing AND YOUR FIRSTBORN IS HERS BY DEFAULT and you live happily ever after. The end.

Baby cries in the middle of the night

Witch: Ughhhhh. It’s your turn.

You: You bought it. You handle it.

That is what I call a fairy tale ending.

2018 calls for more traveling, more moments of love, more saying “yes”, and less giving into fear.

Yesterday I went to buy some yarn and so you know how annoying it is when fucking people put those stupid bullshit “don’t use this, wool is murder” PETA stickers on the label?

First of all, stop defacing stock in someone’s store. You’re not clever or saving the planet or anything. You’re making it hard for customers to shop and see the info they need on the label (yardage, weight, dye lot)… You’re making employees spend hours peeling the damn things off, and in some cases, you’re causing damage to the label and or yarn itself. That means loss to the company, which affects employees who probably make minimum wage, you shit bags. You want to make change happen? Contact corporate, you fuckhead. That’s where decisions are made.

Second of all, wool is not murder. Are you fucking stupid? (Obviously the answer is yes). It’s a fucking haircut for a sheep. They’ve been domesticated so long that if we don’t sheer them, it’s bad. Yes, some sheep don’t live in ideal conditions. Got a problem with that? Going to a yarn store and putting stickers on things isn’t going to change it or the minds of customers. For fuck’s sake, you absolute cockwomble, go to the yarn companies. Make them use wool providers that use humane conditions for their yarn, like A LOT OF YARN COMPANIES DO.

And third of all.

You. You precious, empty-headed little shitnugget. You complete and total sawdust-for-brains.

You put your fucking stickers all over acrylic yarn.

There’s no fucking wool in there. It’s all synthetic fiber. Basically, it’s plastic.

You fucking dumbass.

I connect with this post on a spiritual level

Me, when I buy 24 roombas and an amazon alexa

Me: Alexa, unleash the roombas

*24 roombas emerge slowly from under my bed, consuming everything in their path*

if you dont have me on facebook you are probably not missing out on any posts but the comment section is important too lmao

I went to the Renaissance faire dressed as a warrior.  I had a real sword with me, too.  I was standing (in character) next to a sword-fighting ring, where kids of all ages got the chance to pick up a sword and challenge the champion.  Some woman walks by, with her little girl.  The girl starts walking towards the ring, saying she wants to fight.  But the mom pulled her away hella sharply, and was like, “That’s for boys.”  You don’t want to be a BOY, do you?”    And the girl looked around and saw me.  I think she thought I was a boy; I had my hair in a ponytail, and was wearing a hood.  So she comes up to me and asks me, “Do you think girls can be fighters, too?”  And her mom looks like she’s silently gloating.  Like she thinks I’m going to say no.  So I take off my hood, untie my hair so that it flows freely, and kneel before her.  And I’m like, “Milady, anyone can be a fighter.”  I swear, the look on that mother’s face made my day.

This post was good but then it got better

Okay, this is a slight topic diversion, but in response to the above comment. I’ve volunteered at the CT Ren Faire for years now. For the last 5 or so I’ve worked in the game section, and we have a game similar to the above comment called “Smite the Knight”. I’ve been in the ring before, it’s a ton of fun getting to run around with the kids. The main goal is entertainment. Have a good shtick, keep the crowd engaged, and let the kids have a good time.

In both work and observing, I have learned something about kids. A lot of parents try to get their boys to go fight. Of the young ones that do, they tend to be shy. You get the ones who just swing the boffer swords around with no regard for life, but, mostly, they’re reserved. It’s adorable. I mean, they’re kids.

But the girls. THE GIRLS. Holy crap. I swear, the pinker the dress, the more taffeta and glitter…the more intensity. I remember, the first year I worked there, one girl came in, grabbed the biggest sword she could, and WENT TO TOWN on our knight. Lifted it over head, let out this primal scream and mowed him down. Homeboy is 6′2″, she was FIVE. And once he was in the fetal position (He was fine. It was for show.) on the ground, she stopped, put her foot on his chest, and yelled “I AM A FIERCE PRINCESS!!”. Later in the day when she walked by a couple of us yelled “Ah! It’s the fierce princess!” and she stopped and flexed. It was the best, and I will never forget that girl.

OH MY GOD IT’S BACK YES

This has improved since last I reblogged.

I taught karate for like 5 years, and the girls were always, pound for pound, better than the boys. Even the girls who didn’t really want to do it and were only there because their parents made them were better than like 95% of the boys.

I was playing fiddle at a ren faire, and two little girls were really enjoying our set. After quite some time one of them walked up to me and shyly offered me her star tinsel tiara, because she “didn’t have any money. And this protects you from trolls!” I said “Thanks, that’s really sweet – but what about you? Don’t you need protection from trolls?”

At which point this six-ish-year-old girl whips out her certificate from the axe throwing booth and says “Nah, I’m fine.”

I still have that tinsel tiara. It’s draped over my modem. I figure it’ll protect me from the most trolls that way.

I am not in the habit of reblogging a post and slapping an “it got better” on there BUT I SAY GOTDAMN

It got better :D
