im going to fucking die
I unironically love every second
I don’t know wtf i just watched but i love it with every fiber of my being
The first time I saw this it was captioned “gendry, the hound and arya in the forge in 8x01”
Ruby - 23 - UK - I just want a nap
Christ sake how do I explain to my friends who are parents that if they wouldn’t speak to me like that, they shouldn’t speak to their kids like that
Also
It’s not that fucking deep just breathe no one is gonna die if they don’t immediately do their chores just put a timer on for them so they can hear it Jesus fucking Christ
These people are neurodivergent so I had maybe stupidly assumed they knew how to manage neurodivergent brains but the way they speak to and treat the kids makes me really question that
On the bright side this is teaching me the kind of parent that I desperately don’t ever want to be. I hate how he speaks to all of the kids and just people in general! He’s just so fucking rude and judgemental all the time it drives me mad
Like, my dude, shit isn’t that fucking deep just take a breath and move on, let other people do what they want cause I guarantee that the shit that he comments on fucking constantly does not ever affect him even in the slightest
For someone who complains about the older generations so much, he sure does act a hell of a lot like them
God he just irritates me so fucking much why does he need to be so aggressively rude all the goddamn time? To strangers, to workers, to his own fucking family? HIS WIFE AND BABY Jesus it pisses me off so much but I can’t do anything about it cause I love the rest of them it’s literally only him that’s like this

Take Me To Church by Hozier except he’s practicing it alone in the front of an empty cathedral, while you watch, hidden, from far behind the pews. He’s at least physically alone, because when you search for the source of the backing vocals, you see no one else.
fashion designers put a halo and wings on a model and call it an ‘angel’ look. where are the wheels within wheels? the multitudes of staring, glowing eyes? the trumpets of rapture? the bloodied swords? where is the fire, the incomprehensibility? the ear-shattering “do not be afraid” that makes the audience fear god and have prophetic visions? extremely unsexy of the fashion industry to not realise what the viewer really wants
We are forced to live in a system that steals from us daily, Kill snitch culture.
Important things to keep in mind!
- never take from ‘mom and pop’ type store. Its likely you’ll actually harm them, whereas taking from a walmart wont effect much.
- never take items that a worker is assigned to monitor (usually super expensive items), theyll be in trouble for it. and its usually a minimum wage worker and usually they lose hours or pay, or they even get fired.
- similar to the above, never take things that are usually locked up for the above reason
- if its a store you know gives their near-expiration products to workers/charity, try to avoid taking the near expiration products.
- if youre taking clothing, avoid leaving hangers. it sounds weird, but itll make it seem like it was more likely an error in the computer than a theft, since the empty hanger sitting there will seem suspicious.
- also for clothing, try not to take more than one item at once, as it will look suspicious if theres 10 medium shirts missing, and it won’t be written off as just a stocking error. and it will lead to workers being penalized
- basically just always consider ‘will this harm a worker’ and if the answer is yes then dont do it
like i was homeless for a while when i was younger and i tried to follow those guidelines to avoid doing harm to people who were probably not much better off than me while trying to get food for myself.
Holy crap, is there like an unspoken thieves code or something?!
it’s a thing. I won’t even lie. I watched someone slip a nursing exam book in their bag at the store I worked at. She made eye contact with me and the blood drained from her face. I simply gave her a sympathetic nod and walked away.
I live in a small town and I knew she was a waitress at a hotel my sister works at, and people at that hotel don’t tip well during off season. Nursing exam books are 50+ bucks. Being a med student myself, I didn’t even breathe a word, and when inventory came up later and the book was missing, I suggested it was likely a mislabel, and the manager wrote it off.
Sometimes, thievery is a necessity. Don’t send people to jail over petty things.
theft for many is survival in this system and taking away from multi-billion dollar companies that are a part of the oppressive capitalist system
I love this post so much. Like, an unbelievable amount.
And they say there’s no honour among thieves.
I feel like it’s time we talked about how there is no such thing as universal accessibility. One space cannot be accessible for every single person. And I don’t say that to suggest that we just shouldn’t try making spaces as accessible as possible, but rather to say how important it is that we have multiple, different spaces.
A place that is well-lit and has lots of natural light will help many visually impaired people, but it will be a nightmare for anyone with photo-sensitivity. A small, dimly lit, quiet space might be ideal for somebody with sensory overload, but not for somebody with claustrophobia. A solarpunk utopia where the cities are filled with plants and trees and green might massively help the population’s depression and general spirits, but it would be hell for anyone with autoimmune disorders and allergies.
At the LGBTQ+ Christian group I go to, there are some really flamboyant, loud, and excitable extroverts there, who love to sing their hearts out and clap and dance during worship. There are also people who have sensory issues and anxiety exacerbated by loud noise. It cannot be a safe-space for everyone to express themselves freely, if it’s also a safe space for those with anxiety.
In a learning environment, one child with ADHD may need to bounce their leg or fidget with something in order to concentrate, while another autistic child finds that incredibly distracting and makes them anxious.
A small, tight, cosy space that’s reminiscent of a village pub or small cottage might be ideal for making me feel comfortable, sheltered and reducing my anxiety and social exhaustion, but it wouldn’t be very accessible for a wheelchair user or someone with physical mobility issues. I am both of those people.
Nobody is doing anything wrong, nobody is being victimised by another person, there’s no right and wrong in these situations. It’s just that those people have opposing needs that can’t be accommodated in the same space at the same time. And we need to talk about that.
What’s important is that we create different spaces to cater to a multitude of needs, and that we listen to people’s needs. Most importantly we need to look at which groups of people and which needs are often ignored, and which people have very little access to spaces.
Abundant equitable spaces are important.

bbg you look gnc (ghastly, nightmarish, creepy) asf today
Imagine if the Cullens had just stayed in Forks after Edward broke up with Bella, rather than going with his plan, though. You know he would have thrown a fit immediately upon being told that they weren’t moving Right That Second because that’s dumb and he did not take into account that the rest of them had shit going before just leaving Bella in the woods, hoping she doesn’t trip and die. But they also just??? Care about Bella??? They wouldn’t want to leave without a word, that’s incredibly rude, first of all, and secondly between Esme and Carlisle, at least one of them had taught him better. At least, they’d thought they had, but apparently he needs a fucking refresher.
Imagine Bella just… Seeing the rest of them at school, sans Edward when she went back. Would she try and talk to them, to Alice at the very least, since they were supposed to be gone? Or would they just have to watch her sink into that deep, dark water like everyone else, just waiting anxiously on the bank for her to resurface?
How long would it be before Jasper snapped and was having regular, full on knock down, drag out fights with Edward, because he can feel how excrutiating it is from all sides and unlike him, he can’t just block out the stuff he doesn’t want to deal with. It doesn’t work like that for the rest of them. How long would it be before Esme started dropping by the Swan house to check in, to try and help out by making food and giving hugs and trying to talk her through it? Before Carlisle started swinging by the police station to check in with Charlie and try to offer some dad-advice for how to help when your kid’s brain is practically melting out of their ears because they’re so overcome with heartbreak that its hard to breathe?
How long would it be before Rosalie sat Edward down, stone faced, and asked if this was really better? If he actually thought that the both of them suffering this way was doing anything good for either of them, or the people around them. He’d be flippant and evassive, naturally, but she would remain calm while asking him to analyze the consequences of his actions, and ask again when he stopped throwing a fit. How long would it be before Emmett cracked and asked why things had to be this way, this miserable? Sure, the whole birthday thing had been tense, but they could have, y'know, talked about it. Come up with better ways to deal with it, made a contingency plan. Something. Why did it have to be this?
How long would it be before Alice practically lived at the Swan house, spending nights sitting with Bella while the ocean of feeling raged on so far above her head that she barely noticed that Alice was there at all? Helping her and Esme with chores, exchanging worried glances that go completely unnoticed, just tense and desperately looking towards the future for some sudden surge to the waters surface, some lapse in the all encompassing pain that Bella, their loved one, is going through. How long would it be before she and Esme were camped out in the living room with Charlie, taking things in rotations when Bella woke up screaming?
