It’s Britney, bitch
So important for the homeless’ health!
ATTENTION NYC FOLKS: In case you haven’t noticed, it’s very cold outside. The city has issued a Code Blue Weather Emergency, which means no one who is homeless and seeking shelter will be denied. Should you see an individual who appears to be homeless and in need out in the cold, please call 311, give a description of the person and the location, and an outreach team will be dispatched to assist. You don’t have to do anything else but call. You don’t need to approach the person, or wait for anyone to arrive. Just #Call311
Whether you are in NYC now or not, please copy/paste/share! It doesn’t take much effort on your part and could immensely help those in need.
um… white privilege.
I. Am. Disgusted. SIGNAL BOOST this!! This is unacceptable! We need to remember what pride is and what we stand for.
My friends, some of you might already know this. Especially if you live in the EU. In case you don’t know what’s going on, here’s a lil summary:
There’s a provision called Article 13 mandating that everything that’s uploaded to the internet should be monitored and deleted if it seems to violate Copyright. Sounds like a good idea; no one wants their content stolen, right? Problem is, this requires filtering systems which small online platforms won’t be able to provide. So they most likely will have to shut down. This would lead to a very restricted version of the internet, where only big platforms would have the chance to exist. Plus sharing gifs, memes, fan art, or remixes would be prohibited because of copyright. It wouldn’t make a difference if you link your source of inspiration, it would simply be illegal.
If you want further information, just use google. Or take a look at this neat webiste saveyourinternet.eu (there are different languages avaible, just click on one of the bubbles in the upper right corner of the webiste to chose another language) For more in depth information you can find more resources here.
Yesterday (20 June) the Legal Afairs Committee (juri) voted with a 15:10 majority in favour of Article 13 (x). Here’s a list of the Members of the European Parliament who voted in favour. But there’s still a chance of the European Parliament plenary to stop Article 13. The plenary will take place on July 4-5.
write an email to your country’s MEPs (you can find a list with all the MEPs here, choose your country, select a name and click on the email icon)
call your country’s MEPs if you feel talkative
or tweet them (you can find their twitter here, same as with the email)
OR you can just go to saveyourinternet.eu where you can easily access all the ways to contact you MEPs

Please tell everyone you know to watch at least four episodes over the next few days to ensure that it gets picked up for a third season!!!
This show covers topics ranging from depression and PTSD, to alcoholism, sexuality, and racism, all while being incredibly funny and never making fun of the topics it discusses so thoughtfully.
PLUS, it features a Cuban family with a gay daughter and a single mother who just so happens to be a veteran and a nurse.
I have never loved a TV family more than I love the Alvarez family. I have never cried over a TV family more than I have with the Alvarez family. And I truly can say that the finale of season 2 was the best episode of a sitcom I have ever seen.
Please, I’m begging all my followers to not let this beautiful show get cancelled because Netflix yet again doesn’t advertise the true gems in their library.
This cannot be another Sense8, where we watch representation get cancelled over another Adam Sandler movie.
Reblog and watch the show please!
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
Wait I didn’t read he comments... don’t attack me...
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
