lOOK AT THE GUY IN THE BACKGROUND HE’S LAUGHING HIS ASS OFF

I’m going to go back to watching ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ and pretending the people posting on the cis tag don’t exist.
being called “cis” or “cisgender” is in no fucking way like the n-word.
shut. up.
I agree. However, if someone asks you not to use a word against them, why wouldn’t you respect that?“Cis” just means that you aren’t trans*. You are not trans*, ergo you are cis. How is it that hard to understand?
Lucy - If someone asks you not to use a word against them, why wouldn’t you respect that?
Because it’s an entirely neutral descriptive word.
The idea of brunette people in a mardy because someone’s calling them a brunette has popped into my head.
(FYI, bugbrennan: It’s funny because it’s just as ridiculous as cis people pitching a mardy because they are being called cis.)
To clarify:
Is Luna Lovegood meant to be on the autism spectrum/otherwise neurodivergent, or not? It seems like she’s an Aspie to me, but I could be wrong.
Also the fact that this idea took 9 years to occur to me is worryingI’d say it’s a tossup as to whether she is or not, but I know that it seems to be common with non-male autistics who present with what might be considered atypical autistic symptoms find they can identify with her. I certainly do. She’s a lot like me.
I never spotted it before, but now that you mention it…
Crackdown in Ukraine: block the gay gag rule allout.org
Ukraine’s legislature is about to vote a brand new bill into law that will make it illegal to be gay or lesbian in public. President Viktor Yanukovych has the power to stop the law, but has chosen to stay silent on the growing anti-gay sentiment.
The President says a new alliance with the European Union is his #1 Priority. As officials from Ukraine prepare to meet with an EU delegation on human rights this Friday, it’s time to finally bring this issue to light and force the President Yanukovych to speak out against these laws.
Will you take one moment to call on President Yanukovych to condemn the laws before his meeting on Friday? Every single voice of opposition makes a real difference.TO: Viktor Yanukovych, President of Ukraine
We citizens from across the European Union and the world urge you to denounce Law 8711. The arrival of the delegation on Justice and Security from the EU is the time to show that Ukraine takes human rights seriously.
Ukraine must take a stand against shocking displays of violence such as that perpetuated against Svyatoslav Sheremet.Please Sign

Just a reminder:
A lot of people with ASD don’t like when they’re complimented with “but you act so normal!” or something of that nature. It carries and underlying message of “acting autistic is bad; I’m glad you act less weird!”. It just reiterates the message we already get from society; that we’re broken or messed up and must be fixed and trained to act more neurotypical because being autistic has no value.
Yes, we know you’re trying to be encouraging, but… just try and think about it from our perspective. We want to be appreciated for who we are, autistic quirks and all; how are we supposed to feel about ourselves when people only appreciate how “normal” we can act?
I know I’ve probably reblogged this before, but it stands to be repeated again.

Seven states that ban atheists from holding public office.
What the actual fuck. Since when does your personal, religious beliefs matter in a country that supposedly has separation of church and state?
look at this shit
All of these states can feel free to secede from my country at any time, kthx.
GTFO of the country founded to escape religious persecution you cockmunching assholes.
Hahahaha, I saw hate about states and I’m so totally not surprised to see my state up there. For fucks sake, Mississippi, you have to get on everyone’s bad side, don’t you?
And separation of church and state in Mississippi? HA, HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!! FUCK!
Remember that one time when the US Constitution banned religious tests for the holding of office?
Yeah, good times, good times.

Abortion Funds [compiled]
I’ve found new resources for people in need of access, funds, transportation, and lodging for abortions, so I’m compiling all my posts on the subject into one, for easy reference:
Need Help Paying for an Abortion? - National Network of Abortion Funds and The National Abortion Federation
National Abortion Funds (United States)
Abortion funds cannot cover the entire cost of your abortion, but they will give as much as they can and help you find other funds and ways to pay for your abortion.
Some clinics, including Planned Parenthood, offer their services at a reduced fee for those who can’t afford the regular price. Contact the clinic nearest you to see if that’s an option.
Medicaid covers abortion in 15 states. Check to see if yours is one of them.
Fund Abortion Now has a checklist of ways to raise money for your abortion. If you’re running out of ideas, check it out.

emilylaughingalonewithfuqujames:
Cards Against Humanity is a party game for horrible people.
Unlike most of the party games you’ve played before, Cards Against Humanity is as despicable and awkward as you and your friends.
The game is simple. Each round, one player asks a question from a Black Card, and everyone else answers with their funniest White Card.
And it is distributed under a Creative Commons license, meaning it is not only free to play, but remixing, and changing the game are more than just encouraged.The official hard copy has been sold out for a while now, but a PDF of all the cards, and instructions distributed by the creators for making your own deck can be found here.
You’re welcome, and enjoy!
Scott brought this home today. You can answer every subject card with Kanye West.
I do own this. From the cards, it looks much better than apples to apples could ever be.
I would like this.
I NEED IT
This is perfect.
yes please
guys look at the pdf it’s so fucking funny
oh my fucking god

Quit telling women what do with their bodies! If you get to do that, I’ll draw on my beard and expect you to take me seriously.
Things no one tells you:
- Having sex doesn’t make you a whore.
- Not having sex doesn’t make you a saint.
- You don’t have to have kids if you don’t want to.
- You are the only person who has rights over your body.
- You are no one to judge others.
- “Femininity” is not anti-feminist.
- Verbal harassment is not flattery.
- If something makes you uncomfortable, you don’t have to endure it.
- You don’t owe anything to anyone.

Understanding Male Sexual Assault
This post is dedicated to all male survivors of sexual assault. I know you’ve been faced with disbelief and cruelty, but I believe you and I support you. I know that this post doesn’t go into detail on female on male sexual assault, but I plan to make a separate “understanding…” post on that.
Men and boys are also the victims of the crimes of sexual assault, sexual abuse, and rape. In fact, in the U.S., over 10% of all victims are male.
Stereotypes and Myths:
There are various stereotypes and myths that impact male survivors’ ability to face their sexual assault. These include:
- Men are immune to victimization.
- Men should be able to fight off attacks.
- Men shouldn’t express emotion.
- Men enjoy all sex, so they must have enjoyed the assault.
- Male survivors are more likely to become sexual predators.
These stereotypes and myths can then lead to certain results for male victims of sexual assault, including:
- Dramatic loss of self-esteem
- Belief in their masculinity
- Self-blame
- Feelings of shame, guilt, anger
- Feelings of powerlessness, apprehension, withdrawal, and embarrassment
- Fears that they won’t be able to protect and support their families
- Sexual difficulties
- Self-destructive behavior (drinking, drug use, aggression)
- Intimacy issues
- Questioning of sexual identity
Barriers
Male survivors of sexual assault also may experience certain barriers to seeking support or services, either from friends and family or from organizations and institutions.
Support
- It can be difficult for men to seek help for fear of how others will judge them.
- Responses from friends and family can be damaging or unsupportive.
Safety
- Threats to the victim of a sexual assault or his family may have been made by the perpetrator. This may cause him to keep silent.
- In institutions, he may be forced to keep silent through implied and real threats both by the perpetrator and/or by others within the institution.
Privacy
- He may resist reporting the sexual assault due to the need to repeat the story over and over again to police, to prosecutors, and in court.
- He may be unwilling to share details of the assault in order to protect his family from societal judgment.
Self-blame
- He may blame himself for the attack because he was not able to fight the aggressor off.
- He may think that the assault was not rape because he became sexually aroused during the attack (i.e., he had an erection or ejaculated). This is a normal physiological reaction, NOT a sign of enjoyment.
Aftermath
Male survivors of sexual assault may experience a variety of effects that have an impact on their well-being.
Psychological
- Sense of self and concept of “reality” are disrupted
- Profound anxiety, depression, fearfulness, and identity confusion
- Development of phobias related to the assault setting
- Hypochondriacal symptoms (imaginary ailments)
- Paranoia and obsessive fear of bodily harm
- Withdrawal from interpersonal contact and a heightened sense of alienation
- Stress-induced psycho-physiological reactions
- Psychological outcomes can be severe for men because men are socialized to believe that they are immune to sexual assault and because societal reactions to these assaults can be more isolating and stigmatizing.
Heterosexual Men
- He may experience “homosexual panic”- a fear that the assault will make him “become homosexual.”
- He may feel that he is less of a man.
Homosexual Men
- He may feel that he is being “punished” for his sexual orientation.
- He may fear that he was targeted as a member of the homosexual community. This fear may lead him to withdraw from that community.
- He may develop self-loathing related to his sexual orientation.
Relationships / Intimacy
- Relationships may be disrupted by the assault.
- Relationships may be disrupted by other’s reactions to the assault such as a lack of belief/support.
- Relationships may also be disrupted by the victim’s reactions to the assault.
Emotional
- Anger about the assault can lead to hostility.
- Similarly, the overwhelming emotions that come with surviving a sexual assault can lead to emotional withdrawal.
I don’t think enough people have seen this, so I’m bringing it back.

Reblogging to help boost the signal about this rip-off artist.
EVEN MORE STOLEN IMAGES, PLEASE RE-BLOG
Please look at these images. This “stall” belongs to a Dealer who exhibited at London Expo this weekend.
Images look familiar? They should. They’re all STOLEN.
This guy claims to be the “genius” behind these works of art. Truth is, the majority, if not ALL of them, have been swiped from deviantART, printed on canvas and sold WITHOUT PERMISSION.
This guy is a fraud, a plagiarist, a thief and liar. Why is he even allowed to exhibit at London Expo.
We all need to gather proof that this guy isn’t all he claims to be. If you recognise ANY of these images. PLEASE SHARE OR COMMENT BELOW. A lot of these works are by American artists. We need to inform them and put a stop to this.
Please, please share and let a team of us put this right. We need to gather a lot of solid evidence to get this guy thrown out.
He didn’t have any business cards (no surprises there) but he’s exhibited and sold at London Expo many, many times.
I intend to write a deviantART journal about this and spread the word myself. It would help greatly if you could share your photos here too and we can pool all our evidence in one place and compare photos.
BY THE WAY, THE GUY IN THE FOURTH PHOTO IS THE MAIN STALL-HOLDER, I BELIEVE, HE WAS PUTTING ALL THE CANVASES OUT ON DISPLAY.
Thank you all for reading.
FUCKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING ART THIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
THERE IS A FUCKING SPECIAL PLACE FOR YOU IN HELL
I’ve heard of this guy. Apparently he’s stolen my works as well. I’ve heard at cons he’ll tell everyone that he has “full permission from the artists” to reprint our work and sell it, which is straight-up BULLSHIT.
I don’t normally reblog this type of stuff, but art theft really pisses me off.
I want to kill someone right now
