“Maybe time didn’t heal wounds exactly, but it gave you a kind of armor, or a new perspective. A way to remember with a smile instead of a sob.”

— Kristin Hannah (via quotemadness)

I was in the hospital for mental health reasons and one of my first thoughts was "shit I'm going to be so behind in school." I ended up being there for a week most of my teachers didn't care the two that did had there own mental health issues

when adults tell teenagers that the dull ache of high school is just a survivable mess that they’re making up to be worse than it is, i think of this:

when i was in sophomore year, i was in an accident and the left side of my face was hit. i sat in the emergency room with a clearly broken nose and blood coming out of a laceration on my cheek. and i did my homework. i did my homework with a black eye swelling up, with little red fingerprints on it. 

and he told me to redo it. that it wasn’t good enough. the assignment itself was worth maybe five points out of a hundred. he wouldn’t forgive me for it. when i explained about my concussion, he told me to do it somewhere dark.

we don’t make it up. the value of our lives becomes almost nothing at all. the quality of living that is allowed is so low that students learn to apply it to themselves. they are useless, unimportant, a machine to figure out problems without any food, sleep, family time. nothing. we call teenagers moody because something in them breaks a little. we don’t say: they are stressed beyond measure and they believe their own physical health is less important than the quality of the product they’re forced to produce. we don’t say: wouldn’t you be moody too?

And I found my missing wallet

ok so i love steven’s universe for a lot of reasons, but I just noticed something:

everyone who watches the show knows that Rose is seen as beautiful, and elegant and likely the most attractive character in the show.  

But then we also see stuff like:

Mayor Dewy thinking Pearl is beautiful, and even calling her “hot”

Jamie thinking Garnet is literally the most beautiful thing he’s ever seen.

Stevonie, a non-binary but mostly female appearing character, being seen as very attractive by multiple other characters, and Sadie finding her attractive instead of being catty. 

Then we have these two. Saphire is a tiny blue one eyed ice smurf and is also seen as beautiful. Ruby is a tiny red angry square with almost no traditionally female characteristics and is also seen as attractive enough to find true love. 

Vedalia even says Greg is hot. A+ body positivity despite gender and body type. 

What I haven’t seen EVER in Steven’s Universe though is any of the characters being portrayed as ugly or physically unappealing to anyone. Fat characters get body positivity, skinny characters get body positivity, curvy characters get body positivity, tiny characters get body positivity. You know what else? No two characters have the same body type just like real life. It teaches you that there are endless different ways to look and still be beautiful. 

No one gets left out. No one gets called ugly. The only “bad” characters arn’t bad because of the way they look, but the way they act. Fat characters are never seen as ugly because they are fat. 

This is so important for little kids to see. 

And I know the counter argument to children being taught that it’s “ok” to be fat will always be “well being fat is unhealthy and they should feel bad about being fat so that they will work on loosing weight”. But guess what, that kind of thing leads to eating disorders, and kills children’s self esteem, and makes them hate their bodies. Some people do need to loose weight if it actually does affect their health but a lot of the time they really don’t, or they can’t for whatever reason. Some people feel more comfortable being on the heavier side. But even if you are concerned for a person’s health, the stress and depression that comes along with having a poor image of yourself is much more unhealthy and limiting than a little belly fat. 

 It also shows you that the Gems choose their appearance, which is also supper important. Pearl, and Lapis choose to be skinny, Amethyst and Rose choose to be fat, Garnet chooses to be a giant curvy square, and all of those things are completely accepted and ok. 

Love yourself. 

you would not believe your eyes

if shows gave us canon bis

back when i was suicidal in high school the tiniest things would make me want to kill myself but also the most trivial things would stop me

i remember looking at a bottle of sleeping pills and going “i’m going to kill myself. i’m not going to get out of this town. i’m not going to be able to get into a good college” and then i would go “but wait! if you die tonight, you won’t be there when they invent time travel. what if you die tonight and aliens land tomorrow and you miss it. the entire world would change and you would miss it.” “ah, yes. good point. i’ll wait until next week to die. once i’m dead i’m dead, so i can wait a little longer to see if something cool happens before then.”

it never did but it brought me back from killing myself until i started seeing a psychologist and got on antidepressants 

i think its dumb if drug dealers get sentenced to longer in prison than rapists?? like people ask for drugs but no one asks for rape???

Reblog if you have read fan fiction better than some published books

Help me prove a point

Good luck

ATTENTION

I AM ON A MISSION. I AM GOING TO FOLLOW EVERY BLOG ON THIS SITE. ALL OF THEM. HELP ME ACHIEVE THIS GOAL, INTERNET STRANGERS, BY REBLOGGING THIS POST AND I WILL FOLLOW ALL WHO REBLOG IT. E V E R Y O N E.

you know what i want from descendants 3? i want a villain who isn’t from the isle. i want a brand new villain who grew up in auradon because banishing all the bad people and their fuckingg kids on an island didn’t change the fact that sometimes bad people exist and i want mal and evie and jay and carlos and uma and gil and harry to all work together to take the new villain down and that’s what heals the rift between mal and uma and i want harry hooks eyeliner to get progressively more outrageous than it did in d2

Tide will have dropped the ball if they don’t run a Father’s Day ad ending with “yup, it’s a tie, dad.”

Everyone that reblogs this will get an ask saying what type of GAY they are based on their blog

There will never be a day when I don’t find this immensely funny

when a guest is rude to me it’s become my policy to give them how much food we’re actually told to (which as you might expect, is not very much) rather than more like I always do otherwise

For instance: a woman is repeatedly rude to me while I take her order for chicken tenders and repeatedly interrupts me and acts impatient? I make her five (5) of our chicken tenders as our employee manual instructs when normally? I’d give a full box of like 10+

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it costs 0 extra dollars to be nice to customer service employees

Yeah my girlfriend and I have Disney duets every weekend

if I watch any Disney movies with you then don’t expect that we’re just gonna “watch it”. no. we’re gonna sing the songs, know the choreography, memorize the lines, and I expect you to understand the references. Because once you agree to watch with me, there is no turning back.

I'd be surprised if they did but we've been through hard stuff before we can do it again

Send ❌ to learn of a difficult time in my muse’s life (it’s all good!)

When Evie was invited to Auradon Prep, Dizzy was devastated. It all happened so fast. There were rumors floating around the Isle early in the morning, but she thought it was too good to be true, and by noon the limo had pulled up. She didn’t even have a chance to say goodbye, since Evie was hastily packing, and Dizzy was stuck at the salon. That was one of the few times anyone had seen Dizzy just completely destroyed. No sparkle in her eyes or anything. 

She still got up every day and did the chores Lady Tremaine forced her to do, but she did them all with a pout and tear-stained cheeks. The only time she even cracked a smile was when the Evil Queen came in for a makeover and brought Evie’s sketchbook as a reference for something she wanted done. Dizzy asked if she could keep it, and she agreed.  

Then on Coronation Day, the whole Isle was watching, seeing if Mal would succeed in Maleficent’s Plan, but she was most interested in the fashion, and finally seeing Evie again, even if it was only through the TV screen. 

Imagine paying $40 extra a month for Tumblr

That’s what is going to happen if we let Ajit Pai, the FCC chairman, go through with repealing Title II (AKA Net Neutrality).

Simply put, without Net Neutrality, Internet Service Providers like Comcast, Verizon, and AT&T will be able to “bundle” websites much like cable ON TOP OF paying for internet connection. “Want access to Netflix AND Tumblr? Get the Entertainment Package! $40 a month. What about Amazon and Ebay? Add an extra $20 a month to get the Shopping Package.”

Not only will they be able to bundle websites and charge more, they will also be able to censor and block websites that they don’t agree with entirely.

THIS WILL BE THE END OF INTERNET AS WE KNOW IT.

For business owners, it will be even worse. Ex: Comcast will ask Amazon to pay high fees to be available in a low-cost package, fees that websites like Poshmark or Etsy will not be able to pay. Therefore, only Fortune 500’s will be available to web users at a low cost. Say goodbye to Etsy (unless you’re willing to shell out $70 a month for the “All-Inclusive” package).

To learn about Net Neutrality, why it’s important, and/or want tools to help you fight for Net Neutrality, visit BattleForTheNet (https://www.battleforthenet.com)

There are five people deciding the future of the internet, three men (Rep) and two women (Dem). The two women have come out as No votes. We need only to convince ONE of the other members to flip to a NO vote to save Net Neutrality.

There are many ways you can help:
