Why are you defending embarrassing behavior? Cringe culture isn’t perfect, but it’s why we don’t have to put up with SuperWhoLocks anymore. There’s way less annoying people because shaming helps people give up bad/cringy behaviors.

i would absolutely rather be mildly annoyed by happy people enjoying stuff im not into than miserable people who feel embarrassed about everything they do. ill take a million superwholock kids any day over 1 weirdo adult who enjoys making people feel bad

😂😂😂

Reblogging because omg this is beatufil and they don't need to know the characters to find the message beautiful. ❤️

Nordictalia: “And I came to tell you....”

Denmark:

“...that you are not your past. The person you were doesn’t get a say to define who you are right now. Where you came from, what lead you here, what you did, who you used to be... they all don’t matter. You are growing and becoming better, leading a road to redemption and improvement. You deserve happiness; you are worth forgiving.”

Finland:

“...that you are not broken, and you don’t need fixing; you’re beautiful and perfect and enough just the way you are. You’re allowed to have flaws and you’re allowed to have strength. You’re allowed to discover who you are and see the world for yourself. You’re allowed because you don’t need that permission from anyone but yourself. Allow yourself to be human, to be beautiful, to be perfectly imperfect. Allow yourself to be alive.”

Iceland:

“...that you are loved, so loved. You are not alone, and never forgotten. You are not less than anyone else. You’re just as valid, just as worthy, and just as amazing and wonderful— arguably more. You’re so beautiful and amazing, so strong and brave. You are smart and capable and great, and there’s more in the world for you to see and do, and you have to be here to find them.”

Norway:

“...your progress is still progress. A small task done or a few minutes out of the house is progress. Backtracking, slumps, and bad days are part of the journey to recovery; no one said it would be easy. You’re here and you’re alive, and that’s enough of a sign that you are strong enough to make it to the end, that there is more for you at the end of the line. For now, all you have to do is take care of yourself, to love yourself, to keep breathing and keep trying. You’re doing great. Keep it up.”

Sweden:

“...you are needed alive. You have value and worth just for being yourself. There are things in this world that are thought of, seen, made, and felt, in the way that only you can do. You have so many places to see, things to do, people to meet, things to feel. Adventure awaits you, comfort awaits, love and recovery... it’s all waiting for you.Your life is worth living, in a way that you get to decide. There’s so much more in this great universe for you; please be there to see it.”

They came here to tell you:

“The world loves you. I love you.”

Do you know that there is a city on Earth that actually lives in a dystopian future? and it's terrifying.

Who are the Uighurs?

The Uighurs are mostly Muslims, and number about 11 million in western China’s Xinjiang region. They see themselves as culturally and ethnically close to Central Asian nations, and their language is similar to Turkish.

But in recent decades, there’s been a mass migration of Han Chinese (China’s ethnic majority) to Xinjiang, and the Uighurs feel their culture and livelihoods are under threat.

Nowhere in the world, not even in North Korea, is the population monitored as strictly as it is in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region.  Oppression has been in place for years, but has worsened massively in recent months.

- Uighurs can no longer openly practice Islam

- Men are not allowed to wear beards. Exception only for old people

- They can no longer learn their native language at school

- They cannot move freely around the country and cannot leave it

- All mosques have been turned into shops and office centers

Beijing has also turned Xinjiang into a security state that is extreme even by China’s standards, being a police state itself. The provincial government has recruited over 90,000 police officers in the last two years alone - twice as many as it recruited in the previous seven years. 

At the same time, Beijing is equipping the far-western region with state-of-the-art surveillance technology, with cameras illuminating every street all over the region, from the capital Urumqi to the most remote mountain village. Iris scanners and WiFi sniffers are in use in stations, airports and at the ubiquitous checkpoints - tools and programs that allow data traffic from wireless networks to be monitored.

Checkpoints are installed in every district of the city. In simple terms, you can not get from one area of the city to another without passing the checkpoint and the police.

The data is then collated by an “integrated joint operations platform” that also stores further data on the populace – from consumer habits to banking activity, health status and indeed the DNA profile of every single inhabitant of Xinjiang.

Anyone with a potentially suspicious data trail can be detained. The government has built up a grid of hundreds of re-education camps. Tens of thousands of people have disappeared into them in recent months.

“Qu xuexi,” meaning to go or be sent to study, is one of the most common expressions in Xinjiang these days. It is a euphemism for having been taken away and not having been seen or heard from since. The “schools” are re-education centers in which the detainees are being forced to take courses in Chinese and patriotism, without any indictment, due process or a fair hearing.

Xinjiang, one of the most remote and backward regions in booming China, has become a real-life dystopia. It provides a glimpse of what an authoritarian regime armed with 21st century technology is capable of.

Uighurs are very intimidated and refuse to talk to the press, even if they miraculously escaped the country. 

What’s happening in China is terrible. Maybe some people finally realize that the concentration camps are the reality of our time. There are concentration camps in America too. Don’t forget that.

Hi Tumblr

Just wanted to say that the president of Poland Andrzej Duda just signed smthg called “Karta Rodziny”, which basically states that the only true family and marriage is that of heterosexual people, further doubling down on refusing marriage equality and adoption. It will “save children from alien and harmful LGBT ideology” by baning public institutions of mentioning the “LGBT ideology”.

The things happening over in america are horrendous, but also making way for changes for the better. They’re making the whole world have a discussion about racism still woven into our societies.

But please. It’s pride month. My country, my people need this to be on the lips of the world.

Spread the news

idk about y’all but I think it’s pretty terrifying having to personally hear bisexuals in offline spaces express being practically shamed out of openly identifying as bisexual because they’ve internalized the belief that bisexuality is not inclusive of trans/nb ppl and if that doesn’t hit home for you how dangerous misinformation and ahistorical takes are in the current state of LGBT activism then I honestly don’t have much else to say.

Amidst the national uprising for racial justice, ’Hamilton’ star Daveed Diggs and a collective of Black artists created this evocative video inspired by Frederick Douglass’ ‘What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?’

I don't need to explain why guys should be aloud to cry. It's natural and helps with letting out the negative stuff

Proving a point to my boyfriend.

PLEASE REBLOG if you (male or female) believe it is perfectly okay and natural for a guy of any age to cry
