IMPORTANT
ok so there’s a game me and my friends play called “don’t get me started” and basically someone gives another person a random topic and they have to go on an angry rant about it and it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to us at parties and car rides so I highly recommend playing sometimes with your friends
I love this idea. We used to do things like this in Improv.
Related game: “THINK ABOUT IT.” You’re given a random topic, and your job is to build it into an epic conspiracy theory, the crazier the better. You end your rant with a serious face and the command that your listeners “Think about it.”
Another related game: Illuninati. Similar to Think About It except you are given 2 completely different topics and you have to connect them to each other in a wild conspiracy rant
Rb to safe an awkward hang out
me and my friends play “World’s Greatest Expert” where one of the other players says “Hey, I heard you’re the world’s greatest expert on ____” and you have to give an in depth (and probably completely false) lecture about the thing you’re the greatest expert on. Other players are allowed to ask you questions.

Lottie is Gay and Doesn’t Know It
1. She is exclusively attracted to princes, despite having never met one.
She won’t even DANCE with boys at her party who aren’t princes despite thinking they’re good boys who would treat girls well (she advises the boy she doesn’t want to dance with to find someone eager to dance with him, rather than tell him to go home).
To me this comes across as her choosing “prince” as the ideal that she finds attractive solely because it’s theoretical, the imaginary Perfect Boy who doesn’t exist. This is common among young people who aren’t exposed to homosexuality but don’t feel attraction to people like they’re “supposed” to.
2. She’s never comfortable around Naveen, always thinking about things that have or could go wrong.
Part of this self-consciousness is obviously because he’s a fake, but even when she’s set for marriage and all her dreams are coming true she’s antsy and upset and lashes out at her dad while trying to over-please the fake Naveen.
She also glances nervously at the priest right before the pronunciation, as though still dwelling on things that could go wrong rather than her happy moment–and this is the scene in which she’s been the MOST visibly relaxed with the prince.
She’s realized something’s wrong with HER not feeling attracted to the prince, despite him being “perfect” for all intents and purposes, and she doesn’t know why that is.
3. She doesn’t kiss Naveen right away despite saying in the opening that she’d kiss 100 frogs if it meant becoming a real princess.
Tiana interrupts her sure but only AFTER she’s been counting and recounting Naveen’s story back to him. She’s stalling because she doesn’t want to lock herself into another marriage with someone she’s not attracted to.
4. She doesn’t actually want to marry a prince, she just wants to be a princess. When she’s proposed to she barely pays any attention to her rapidly-transforming, lying fiancee because she’s so enamored with the image of herself as royalty. She actually shoves him away.
5. She’s absolutely in love with Tiana and still doesn’t know it.
She compliments Tiana more than any man in the film. She respects all of Tiana’s life decisions even if she doesn’t even slightly understand them because of their different perspectives, supports her dream of a restaurant even if she doesn’t share it, and is willing to give up potential romance with a prince, the thing she has dreamed about all her life, at the drop of a hat to comfort a humiliated Tiana.
And then there’s this line.
Charlotte La Bouff is only actually willing to kiss a prince if it means her best friend Tiana’s dreams will all come true.
This makes a lot of sense actually
Lotte is a lesbian icon holy shit

Keep this post alive so that when CARLOS is old enough he’ll know these KIDNAPPERS stole him from his MOTHER!
Guatemalan mom: “Please help me my son was taken from me”
Those two assholes: “Lol finders keepers bitch lmao”
Carlos was taken from his mom, Encarnacion Bail Romero after she was arrested during a work raid. Her words, “Nobody could help me because I don’t speak English,” are still resonating deeply within me. This child was kidnapped from a loving mother, and she went to hell and backwards trying to get him back, and a judge literally told her she had no rights to her own child.
Completely unfit parents can get their children back like it’s nothing and this poor woman who loves her child and just wants him with her again cannot? How is this not human trafficking/kidnapping?
Also:
The judge said the biological mother had no rights to even see her child, according to the mother’s lawyer.
Asked if the Mosers would allow Bail Romero to see the child, the Mosers’ attorney, Joseph Hensley, said the couple was “not willing to comment on that at this time.” source
reminder that many children are funneled specifically to Christian families and communities for the same reasons they always have: destroy culture, stack votes, add bodies to communities that otherwise wouldn’t hold majorities. it is literal, actual trafficking.
This is a part of genocide. Removing the children from their parents, who generally desperately love and want to raise them, and placing them with white American families is a way to erase their culture from existence without the ugliness of directly killing children. But it’s still ugly, and it cares nothing for the actual welfare of the child.
Another way in which the US is already like the Handmaid’s Tale
Im scheduling this post for 2023 , so Carlos will be old enough to know about his past when he finds this post…
Why does this sound familiar?
I can’t put my finger on it…
What’s it called…
What’s that word…
Oh yeah! That’s forced assimilation!
How silly of me to forget. It’s THE EXACT SAME FUCKING THING WE DID TO THE INDIGENOUS IN AMERICA!
And THAT is Nazi shit!
I remember seeing this 2 years ago when it happened. Keep this shit alive
Happy 10th Anniversary Danger Days! (11/22/2010)
the thing is that safety is a basic thing to provide, even to people you intensely dislike. I think you guys have got to realize that.
there is a trans girl at my school and i really do dislike her, like she is an absolute prick a lot of the time and her opinions are shit. when she asks me to walk her to the bathroom i do so. when she asks if i can walk her home at night because she’s afraid, i fucking do it. when she asks me to guard the door while she changes clothes so her parents don’t see her, i do it, and when she asks me to talk to a transphobic teacher because she’s afraid to, i do it for her. Yes, all while disliking her as a person. and people call me “fake” for doing this? It’s basic fucking safety that she should feel entitled to. if you saw someone you didn’t like in an unsafe situation, you probably would still do something about it. don’t take advantage of someone’s status as a minority because you dislike them, it’s so shitty, and whether you realize it or not, you ARE doing it when you refuse to help a trans person stay safe because you don’t like them. it’s unfair, it’s cheap, it’s petty, it’s disgusting, it’s always, always wrong.
One of the things you have to learn to adult reasonably successfully is to work with people you don’t like, based on basic decency (as long as they’re not obviously out to harm you - you may have to learn to do that too, but it involves different tactics than basic decency). You especially have to learn how to work with people you don’t like when you’re the one who’s in a position of power in some way or other. What you don’t have to learn is to like people you don’t like, because it’s normal to randomly dislike people. And all that includes keeping people safe that you don’t like - be it from physical threats or from bullying.
