world leaders/figureheads/etc

wars

history in gen

art

please respect people who are mentally ill and disabled who cannot work. please respect people who look like they’re just relaxing all day when really they’re waging an internal war just to stay alive or fight their pain. please respect people who could not finish school, people who had big plans and could not see them through because of disability. people who look from the outside like they’ve “given up” or “aren’t doing anything.” people who are hospitalized repeatedly or permanently, and people who are grown adults who are still dependent on others. please respect disabled and mentally ill people. 

this is not a polite suggestion, by the way. it’s an angry demand. we are people, and we deserve the same respect as anyone else.

here’s to you for still working on stuff you never mention out loud

@memeuplift

do you ever pick up a book, read the first page and realise that you are about to fall in love with it, and you know that it will stick with you yet haunt you for many years ?? like no matter how hard you try it will be a piece of you now, dictating your perspectives and views ? apart of you feels so much anticipation, joy and excitement, but apart of you is like what the fuck have you done you silly sausage 

I’d just like to say good luck to everyone taking SAT’s or Exams (or any tests for that matter) and I wish you the best of luck on them!

Sometimes I wonder if native English speakers appreciate how much more comfortable the internet is for them than for the rest of the world

Like, you can go on tumblr and simply read stuff in your mother tongue? Amazing. Go on youtube and you don’t have to replay some sentences ten times to try to understand what they’re saying? Incredible. Look for practically anything on google and know that there will be a fuckton of results that you can read without having to spend half the time looking up words in a dictionary? Fascinating. Make a post or send an ask without panicking that you’ll make a silly mistake or that they won’t understand what you meant? Unbelievable.
