this pride month, please please please do not let the black lives matter movement go ignored. the lgbtq movement owes so much to black members of our community. we are not free until all of us are.
what is happening now is change in action. if you care about activism, and you should, you know that blm deserves to be seen, their voices to be heard.
pride matters, and we should still celebrate, still fight, still demand our place in the world. but black and indigenous people need our support right now. cops are not our friends. oppression is never okay. privilege is never comfortable. if you are white or non-black, refuse to let support for blm die down.
this pride, let’s fight for each other. demand spaces for lgbtq people of colour. let their voices be heard. listen.
you can help.
PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF WHAT THE HONG KONG PROTESTORS DID/WORE! THIS IS SERIOUS. THEY ARE AIMING FOR THE FACE.
They said you might come.
Just casually thinking about how Matthias a witch (Grisha) hunter who has most likely killed a lot of Grisha people for absolutely no reason is not considered a villain, but the guy who has spent his life protecting his people and saving them from being hunted and killed is considered pure evil.
it’s best to use water. use clean water in a steady, diagonal stream from the inside of the corner (closest to your nose), blink a lot. it’s gonna hurt, but do it. you’ll cry too. that’s your eyes rinsing the irritants out. it’s just like the eye wash lecture you got in chemistry class- just keep washing and blinking and washing and blinking. Then get your clothes off ASAP, run them through the wash by themselves first, then again, then dry them

If I have an A level in a foreign language, do I need to go to language school as an AU pair?
we’re doing marx next week in intro to philosophy and i for one can not wait to hear the takes from some great classmates such as
dude who sits in front of an NRA flag every week and talks about Liberty and how proud he was to serve in the army. (he’s the one who for some reason thought socrates was christian. guaranteed to voice his opinion at length about how evil communism is)
girl who wears a MAGA hat every week despite being indoors and on a zoom call. likes to chime in at least once to bring up jesus. i will acknowledge that she does make decent connections between what we’re discussing and the bible and she’s definitely getting participation credit in, but really you dont need to say “Jesus said that God loves us and we should be nice :)” every time. we get it. (honestly i think she might agree with the passages we’ve been assigned so im interested to see that happen)
guy who just fucking vapes the entire time and offers takes so nonsensical that the professor has to take a moment to consider what the fuck he just heard. (really just hoping to hear him go on about what he thinks aliens will be like. has happened before. very slight but exciting chance that he unironically supports posadism)
Leigh: I'm gonna make a dark edgy universe with ongoing genocide on witches for centuries. It'll be like the Avatar but the elements of the four nations are: Nazi Witch Hunters, Persecution, Prison camps to torture and experiment on witches, and Slavery.
And then, I'm gonna make a character who fights back, creates a safe space for witches, finds a way to make them indispensable to the king, and plans to put an end to the ongoing genocide.
Readers with functional braincells: Is that your hero?
Leigh: Hero? No! Oh God, no!!! Where did you get that impression??? He's the VILLAIN with a capital V!!! Ugh, I guess I'll have to add more nonsensical mustache twirling evil villainous visuals to make it clear. Maybe throw in a black cape and shadow magic into the mix while I'm at it.
Readers still refusing to shut their brain before reading YA: So what do your heroic leaders want?
Leigh: Its really brilliant and subversive actually! Get rich quick hustles for money. Housewife to the first boy to talk to her. And inherit a royal title from his father.
Readers refusing to kill their reading comprehension: So what about the persecuted witches?
Leigh: What about them? Oh...maybe I'll make up magic cocaine that's highly addictive to the witches and overworks them to death to speed up the genocide now that the horrible evil villain advocating for them is dead and modern technology renders grisha useless anyway. No point in letting them just live am I right? xoxo grimdark edgelord girl
Right. After seeing the teaser and the buzz on the Internet.
I decided to buy the book "shadow and bone", I'm on chapter 6 - it's really WONDERFUL so far- But I'm madly in love with the "Darkling".
I first felt that they were going to push Mal and Alina down my throat, you know like the annoying trope of unrequited love, until one day they see each other 🤮.
But from kinky blood play, to chopping a man in half for her, to SHARING A HORSE, to joking around with each other.
Excuse while they become my new obsession!!!
But I'm a little worried as he is called the "darkling", like c'mon, you could try to be a little more inconspicuous!
Prayer circle. Please don't be evil! Prayer circle.

I don't care if I offend someone because it's true.
It took a small group of peruvians begging and pleading for people in tumblr to realize that something horrible was happening here.
It took 40 missing people, 6 days, 2 deaths and an unknown number of wounded protesters for people to realize.
But you did it, everyone that reblogged our posts did realize and helped us.
Let's continue doing this, not only with Peru, but also with the other small countries that everyone ignores.
Inform yourself and share what's happening, let's make this world a better place.
