hope your pets stay healthy in 2017
This is important hello (x)
Okay, here’s the problem with the idea that oppressed groups can “alienate allies” by not being nice enough:
You shouldn’t be an ally because oppressed groups are nice to you. You should be an ally because you believe they deserve basic human rights. Hearing “I hate men” shouldn’t make men stop being feminist. Hearing “fuck white people” shouldn’t make white people stop opposing racism.
Your opposition to oppression should be moral, and immovable. Your belief that all humans should be treated with equal respect shouldn’t be conditional based on whether or not individual people are nice to you.
This isn’t related to my blog aesthetic but I’m tired of seeing posts where people are making others paranoid that they’re in a coma or something. You’re not. I know lots of us know it’s just a bad “joke,” but some people don’t have the luxury of being able to believe that after seeing others tell them otherwise.
You’re awake. Everything is okay.

well …
so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god
i genuinely hope anyone ages 13-15 on this website (or, god forbid, younger) stays safe and keeps their private information secure and really private
please, if you’re really young on tumblr, try not to get swept up in the discourse and the tremendous amount of arguing with strangers that goes on here. i know you probably feel mature for your age but this website, like, really psychologically affects youth, and i encourage you to be cautious about your interactions with people on here
please, kiddos, stay safe
you are a calm person who loves fries, sleeping, binge-watching stranger things, is able to distinguish between a character and actor himself
and is looking for someone to converse with from time to time
basically, im asking if anyone wants to be mutuals
im so lonely here and im trying to step out of my introverted zone pls be gentle to me
also just saying but im really picky with what i want to see on my dash so if i don’t follow you im really sorry
First of all:
If he/she/they
Controls what you wear or acts upset when you wear what you want
Wants you to stay inside to themselves constantly
Get jealous over everyone
Cry or get mad when you have a problem and blame themself
Let you be completely dependent on them (or make it out to be that you could)
Tell you they can’t live without you
Make you feel the need to be whatever they want you to be
Make you feel like you’re walking on eggshells or should be
Cause you to cry at night because you love them so you won’t leave them but you’re confused
Cause you to feel like you’re in a cage
They. Are. Toxic.
It does not matter if they “mean to”
They are still toxic
They are still causing you pain
Your relationship is most likely codependent and/or emotionally abusive
You need to get out of that relationship
It will hurt
But as someone who has been there
It is much better to leave and cope
Than to not leave and have them leave you alone
Or to continue being emotionally abused
It’s serious
It is not “how he thinks a relationship should be”
It is not “his jealousy”
It is:
Potentially emotionally abusive
Draining
Painful
Potentially codependent
Damaging
Toxic
Toxic
T o x i c
I’ve been there, did that more than once because they will manipulate you. Even if they don’t mean to.
You w o n t be able to handle it if you don’t get out.
It is unhealthy
If this sounds like your relationship
Please please please leave
