Stuff kids on tumblr better relearn

1. You are responsible for your own media experience. 

2. There is such a thing as a healthy level of avoidance towards topics that make you feel unwell or even (in a real-life clinical definition of the term) trigger you - but you are the one to actively take care of what you view.

3. Avoiding does not mean policing others.

4. You have no right to tell artists to censor themselves - you may criticize what others do, you may dislike it, that’s fine - but actively asking for censorship when you could easily unfollow or block a person just makes you look incompetent in your use of the internet.

5. Do not give people on tumblr or /any/ website the responsibility for your emotional well-being. Because these people do not even know you so no, you have no right to ask them to take care of you.

6. Content creators are not your parents and owe you nothing, not even a breakdown on why their content isn’t problematic. You don’t get to demand a dissertation denouncing any and everything unhealthy in a piece you don’t like. Move on.

7. Tagging is a nicety but not an obligation. You can message people, politely, and ask them to tag things, and many people will, but understand that it’s their blog and they aren’t obliged to say yes. Unfollow and block when you need to. Circling back to number 1, you are responsible for curating your own experience.

8. Don’t be a jerk. Remember at the end of the day, there are actual living, breathing people behind each screen name. Don’t say anything you wouldn’t say to someone’s face in real life.

does anyone else require an advance notice of at least three (3) working days to physically and mentally prepare for any and all forms of social activity or is it just me

if a werewolf dies but they were an organ donor does someone get a new kidney that turns into a wolf kidney once a month

imagine having a feeling of pure bloodlust radiate from one side of your mid-back approximately every 28 days

I don’t need to imagine

Powerpuff Girls was actually a show about a group of small children crushing the patriarchy and no one will convince me otherwise

Anyone who tries to convince you otherwise obviously wasn’t watching the same show.

reasons why i love this show so much 

I love that the most tiny feminine delicate sweetheart of the three does the traditionaly masculine chores. Kinda makes me wanna see a teen Bubbles change a tire in a pretty dress and hair bow.

honestly i think my fav part of this gifset is the fact that those last two are probably supposed to be Their Chores but only Bubbles is doing them like that is peak sibling energy, flawless execution

Didn’t PPG have a villain that was specifically meant to mock feminists as man haters that use feminism to harm others?

They did and if you watch the whole episode you see the PPG get tricked into letting the villain committ crime out of female solidarity.

Then several women step in to talk to the PPG about how the villain is using feminism as a scapegoat to get away with toxic and criminal behavior. And how what the villain is doing isnt actually feminist at all.

Like that episode was very good about addressing toxic behaivor from people who are supposedly woke or whatever.

An episode a lot of Tumblr should watch given the rampant radfem and terf ideology that gets spread on here.

in conclusion

stan powerpuff girls for clear skin

middle aged white daddy doms are so boring. oh you’re looking for a young woman willing to be your submissive and wait on you hand and foot? yeah okay you and all the other 45 year old divorcees on okcupid who only managed to become divorcees because you all got married at like 19 because you and your high school girlfriend wanted to fuck but were too guilt ridden by your conservative evangelical upbringing to just go for it so you rushed into marriage before either of you were old enough to know what you wanted out of life and then when the itch was scratched you realized you didn’t actually like each other all that much and you spent 8 years in a loveless marriage and then she finally got wise and divorced you and went back to college to fulfill her dream of studying art history and instead of trying to develop hobbies and interests that you actually enjoyed and that gave you self actualization you got into weird hardcore porn and started spending your days being an Internet Tough Guy in the MSNBC comments sections and you live in squalor because your ex wife was actually your replacement mom so you didn’t bother learning how to do basic household tasks and as a result the last 18 years of your life you’ve felt disenfranchised and unhappy because you just expected good things to fall into your lap without making any investment in yourself and you’ve had marginal romantic success because you never updated your ideas about how men and women relate to each other so you think women your age are just crazy bitches and angry feminists who don’t appreciate a real man and now you call yourselves “daddy doms” and you’re seeking a young woman to be your slave because that’s the only person you might seem impressive to

The fact that 90 percent of this is one sentence and yet still flows is genuinely impressive to me

When my mom and aunt were younger my aunt was in high school and my mom in middle school. A group of girls were bullying my aunt and one slapped her in the lunch room. The principal met with my grandma and the other mom. He said they weren’t punishing the other girl because he didn’t get involved in “girl problems.” My grandma asked if that meant my aunt could retaliate the next time it happened and he said no then it would be a fight and they’d both get in trouble.

So my grandma turned away from him and to the other mom and said “I have another daughter. She doesn’t go to this school and she’s a star softball player with her own bat. You can tell your daughter to stop bothering mine or you can drive her to the hospital with a shattered jaw. That’s your choice.” And walked out.

Few months later that girl stole a necklace from my aunt. My grandma called the cops and they all drove to her house to get it back. The cop came outside with it and said he told the family my grandma wouldn’t press charges if they gave it back. My grandma took the necklace and said “Then you’re going to have to go in and tell them you lied because I am pressing charges. She’s a thief and I want her treated like one.”

My grandma was a single mom in the 70s with two daughters and she took no shit from men who tried to undermine her and her daughters.

She also got excommunicated and then re-communicated after bothering the Vatican enough to let her back in

She doesn’t even like being Catholic and is Episcopalian now. It was more of a “You can’t fire me, I quit!” which is even better, at least to me

op im begging you for more stories
