Overprotective Dad getting out the shotgun when his baby girls first bf shows up at age 14 isn’t ‘cute’. Modest Dad telling his sweet precious daughter to cover up her shoulders isn’t ‘sweet’. Concerned Daddy wanting to know where his baby is and who she’s with at all times isn’t ‘good parenting’. Loving supportive father who gave his sweetheart a promise ring and danced with her at the chastity ball isn’t ‘old fashioned but harmless’.
Fathers who think they are entitled to their daughters bodies are the scum of the earth and need to stop.
The first “Purity Ball” happened in 1998. It isn’t even old fashioned. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purity_ball

please stop claiming any and all shitty embarrassing behaviors are “autism traits” or whatever. like i know you think youre making an epic win against ableism when you call some weird annoying shit ~autistic behavior~ and therefore ableist to insult but you really arent
I mean going off of this its insulting to me as an autistic person that like. You’ll call being upset that someone says something obviously rude or unkind ableist youre implying we’re all unthinkingly mean? Thats a step back from any progress and theres this attitude prevalent on tumblr about literally everything that if you say any call out of a behavior ableist you can get away with continuing to do it even if its not healthy or self destructive or hurts other people. Please.
Please give people time to respond
If you’re asking someone who is neurodivergent a question, please give them time to respond. This applies to all ND people, including the ones who mask or seem “mostly NT.” And it doesn’t mean a second or two, it means as long as they need.
Because if you don’t, conversations end up like this:
“Do you want to get food?”
“Um…Hm. Ma—“
“Ok you need to say if you do now because we’re not coming back for food.”
“I—uh—I don—“
“Do you want food or not?”
“Uh—no?”
“Alright then, let’s go.”
Then, later, the person may realize that they did indeed want food. They were, in fact, hungry, and now they feel ashamed of themself or feel like they can’t ask. Plus, the sort of stress this causes doesn’t exactly make them like you any more.
Please. Give us time. We need to process the question, process our answer, and put that into words. That process may be harder for us than it is for you. Please respect that, and give us time. Thank you.
I’d say give that consideration to everyone regardless of disability or not. It’s just basic politeness.
It’s LGB AND T honey and if you can’t do the whole acronym then yes stay home no one wants to be around you
It always strikes me as a bit ridiculous when people talk about “agreeing with” trans people. Agreeing with me about what? My favorite flavor of ice cream. Mine is Hazelnut.
WTF YOU THINK VANILLA IS YOUR FAVORITE FLAVOR WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU OMG YOU AREN’T ALLOWED AT PRIDE.
WTF do people mean by “agree with”?
I think the dialogue surrounding trans people would be hugely enhanced if people would realize that trans people are really diverse and have a huge range of viewpoints even on issues affecting trans people like how to advance trans rights, how to treat and handle and talk about things like medical transition, we even disagree on basic definitions sometimes.
I would really like to sit down with this person and anyone else who says they “don’t agree with trans people” and hash out more specifically what they mean and see if I can at least influence them to stop making blanket statements like this.
Disconcerted again, just realizing that this is the first time in at least a few years that I’ve heard a grasshopper out back. (As in, one lone grasshopper AFAICT.)
It’s been longer than that since I heard any crickets, and I think I’ve only seen two of them here in over 14 years. No exaggeration.
Almost a shame the flying bugs are nowhere near that scarce with no screens, but yeah. Having to wonder how the inner burbs here would react if screaming cicadas suddenly appeared everywhere 😊
wouldnt it be nice if more news articles were like this

This is what we mean when we say that rich people have the ability to immediately and directly help people’s lives but most of them actively choose not to
How do you twist a man having to walk 14 miles to provide for himself as a positive?
OH and I get to work with my very least favorite co worker today.
Lovely.
I need to go make more tea.
The driver coming in to pick up the recycling, who knows that we monitor the weather radar 24/7; “Are we going to get any more storms today?”
Me, who sits right next to a monitor dedicated to weather radar, since we watch for lightning strikes in the area, and call work suspensions if any lightning gets close. “There’s a few patchy storms around yet but the bad stuff is all past us.”
Driver; “Oh good. Have a good day.”
Me; “You too.”
My dickhead co-worker, as soon as the driver walks out; “I didn’t know we were the fucking weather service.”
Me; “…he knows we monitor the radar all day and that I don’t mind him asking, and he was talking to me, not you, and again he knows I don’t mind, so chill.”
Him; “Muttering”
The weird thing is that this dude USED to be an okay guy with a good sense of humor.
But about a year ago, he started the keto diet, and he has lost a lot of weight…but he’s been a complete asshole since he started the diet. Just, will snipe at anything and everything anyone says.
Eat some bread and be happy, dude.
Oh, so his body is perpetually poisonning itself in a desesperate attempt to produce enough sugars for his brain. That’ll make me cranky too tbf.
I had no idea, but another comment here made me look it up and apparently major changes in mood are a Thing on keto. Like, a LOT of people become assholes when they go on a keto diet.
I’m no expert on the long-term effects of keto diets but…like…that can’t be a good sign.
Eat some bread. If anyone makes fun of you for being chubby, fuck ‘em.
I cannot second this hard enough. For everyone following me who may not know that: the human brain cannot use any other form of energy that glucose and ketone bodies. If it doesn’t have any available your liver will make them, producing toxic by-products and working less efficiently to purge the usual riff-raff made on a daily basis by your metabolism.
Eat carbs. Fuck this fatphobic society.I…did not know this. Holy fuck.
Carbs are not your enemy, people.
Holy shit. I am almost scared to look up this keto shit. I mean I trust it as much as I trust the Paleo nonsense (not at all) but.
Sawbones has a fascinating episode about the keto diet. It wasn’t invented as a weight loss thing. It was a specific medical tool to help prevent certain types of seizures. It’s a hard fucking diet to stay on, because it’s basically no sugars, no carbs, no not ever.
PAY ATTENTION! This is how you weed out the men who deserve your time and the ones that don’t. These dudes are literally telling you who they are, but y’all refuse to listen. Your safety comes first.
I’m in a FB group where dudes 30 and older were having full tantrums over this post. These are the same guys that admit:
Not deleting nudes post break up
Not believing when women that were sexually assaulted
Not believing sex with a partner that is sleeping is rape
Etc.
Please do not date people that take issue with your protecting yourself.
That woman prolly saved her life the only reason u would be that uncomfortable with if you were planning to do something bad. Ive personally asked for a guys license and took his pic and sent it to like 3 people and he didnt have a problem with it only date men who dont have a problem with it
I had a girlfriend text me a guy’s picture and contact info before their first face to face date. When she told him about it, he said, “What a smart woman! I like her already!” That is an appropriate reaction to the situation.
I’m the one who said you left ya jacket in my car
This is solidarity
I swear to fucking god she got some real ones
Dump the boyfriend and go live with the friends
the straights are at it again
Reblog if you are a greedy gay hoarding refracted light all for your greedy gay self
I totally am, but also: I have a story. The time: 1995. The place: a small liberal arts college. We decided to participate in “denim day” which was a widespread event wherein on National Coming Out Day, you would wear denim to indicate SUPPORT FOR the LGBT community. Our support group made posters that were very, very clear about this. Wearing denim did not mean that you were coming out, it meant you supported anyone around you who might.
I have never seen so many suits and khakis IN MY LIFE. People who accidentally wore jeans went home and changed.
The community took it as a rebuke. We drew in closer to eachother, and felt unwelcome everywhere we thought we had friends before.
And I had people later tell me “You know I support you, just… I didn’t want anyone to think I was.” First off, I DON’T know you support me. Not if you refuse to, for one day, change nothing about your life to show it. Second off… why is that such a terrifying thought to you?
I remember before rainbows were a “gay thing”. They were everywhere. Church walls next to arks. School walls next to sunshine faces. People have VOLUNTARILY abandoned every other use. I have HEARD PEOPLE SAY they just couldn’t use rainbows anymore because people would think of “gay stuff.”
So I know this is a joke, and a stolen one at that, but you’ve done this to yourselves. If someone is so terrified of being perceived as queer that they will INSTANTLY abandon something they like if it has queer germs on it now or something, then they don’t deserve refracted light.
Maybe help us change the world into a place where being mistaken for queer would be just a thing to chuckle about and you can have refracted light back.
The LGBTQ+ community didn’t steal the rainbow. The straights abandoned it.
