HETEROSEXUAL CIS-PEOPLE LOOK HERE
Snaps my fingers at you as you scroll past this post
Look at me. Listen.
I'm not the best at serious posts, but that article up there reminded me of how important it is that people like you stand up for us. So hold on while I try to get this out of my mushy end-of-work-day brain.
We could fight this fight ourselves for decades trying to reach the equal laws, gender affirming trans healthcare that doesn't have a 2-5+ soul-eating years of waiting time, medical care with equal knowledge of lgbtqia+ bodies, and, what is often forgotten, inclusion in the little everyday areas of life like our way of speaking or things being set up or designed with the existence of queer people in mind.
But you joining in could get us there so much faster.
The power you have as a hetero cis person is that you set the standard for what is seen as the average way of treating us among other hetero cis people. You have been given the power of deciding what's "normal" and I'm begging you to use it.
Richard Green is a great example of to what extent your actions can help our situation, and smaller ways of support still add up to a great impact on society, and could make the days of the queer people you interact with.
Educate yourself before you speak up, but don't be silent.
to all the cis ppl reading this right now, remember what OP said. you've been given the power of deciding what's "normal." use it. please.
genuinely if you like the death related mysteries/fun facts that watcher brought you, mortician Caitlin Doughty covers all sorts of death related topics like iconic corpses, FAQs regarding death/dying embalming, and more. she is incredibly respectful and knowledgeable about everything and everyone she talks about in her videos, you should check her out <3
Watcher google drive
i think the title is pretty self explanitory
Only ghost files on it atm but Mystery Files and Puppet History are next. Watcher has back pedalled on deleteing all their free content to lock it behind a pay wall but y'know what? maybe I just dont want to give them ad revenue anymore, which is evil but screw them. Also they may still back pedal on their back pedalling, which is to many pedals anyways.
why is the metal community so pressed abt this it’s literally hilarious. 10/10. love it. i want it.
Metal elitists probably are, the rest of us think this is funny as hell. Also fuck yeah to making corpse paint easier to get and for relatively cheap
Rare is it that I feel "WTF?!" and "I LOVE IT" in such an equal measure. ....Wait. Is this real? I thought it was a gag but how you're talking about it sounds like it is real and OMFG IT'S REAL?!! https://www.elfcosmetics.com/elf-x-liquid-death-corpse-paint-vault/81576G.html
I get why people are upset because while this is cute (and it truly is), at the end of the day it's just another company trying to take sth that's always been accessible/cheap/diy and capitalize on it. Taking an alternative subculture whose idea is rooted in anti-consumerism/going against social norms and turning it into the next ''quirky/trendy'' thing is gross (kinda reminds of the ''grunge aesthetic'' era. another subculture rooted in diy/anti-consumerism that companies exploited by selling ripped clothing. completely defeating the purpose of letting your clothes wear down/buying second hand). i don't disagree that this may inspire some younger people to give metal music a shot but if we're being honest, the only people who will actually buy this are the ones who are making fun of metalheads and think that this is funny. It's also worth mentioning that ''elitists'' exist in every community and they all suck and should not be taken seriously. ''Elitists'' are basically straight, cis, most likely white, entitled men who feel like sth that's ''theirs'' is being ''overtaken'' by the ''others'' (pocs, queers etc). Therefore i'm sure that some of the negativity surrounding this video comes from the fact that they saw two girls try corpse paint and their brains immediately exploded. But do not let these assholes distract you from the actual problem with this which is as always✨capitalism✨

This is the single most attractive thing a love interest has ever said in the history of fiction

In case you’re uninitiated:
These are the current female volleyball uniforms
The Norwegian team on the left got fined a ridiculous amount of money for wearing shorts to the games
When you compare the men and women, it becomes very clear how sexist the uniforms are.
“Sexism is dead women are so annoying to keep talking about it”
*professional athletes get fined for wearing shorts*
this video has been going around for a while but the English subtitles didn't match the energy of the spoken French at all. i had to fix it.
reblog to spread this version
hello!
in a kinder world i live in an i spy page
life might be better if we could all take a minute out of our day to stop and do a little puzzle
another reminder to stop buying/watching/reading anything JK Rowling associated
I cannot stress enough she is a primary funder of transphobia. She is not just someone with bigoted views you can seperate from her work, her work funds the bigotry.
Every fishy Tufton Street startup with a transphobic goal is directly bankrolled by this awful cow, and SHE is directly bankrolled by YOU.
the phrase “earn a living” is so vile and disgusting and evil
