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.

Sportscaster Dale Hansen defends student wrestler Mack Beggs and takes a stand against transphobia

Guys!!!!!! As someone who has only discovered him recently, I've never been happier!!!

If I have an A level in a foreign language, do I need to go to language school as an AU pair?

Milk can trap mace irritants in your eyes

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

from my former correctional officer and current nurse father

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)

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.
