Polyamory is safe for work. Polyamory is safe for kids. Polyamory is safe for day time tv. Polyamory isn’t more sexual than any other relationship and it can be just as romantic, sweet, and healthy.

OK Highway Patrol Captain George Brown says the best “tip” for women to not get raped by a cop is to “follow the law in the first place so you don’t get pulled over.” http://youtu.be/BO8g8akPWcY (Last third of the video).
Three serial rapists in 3 weeks arrested in Oklahoma, all cops.

i fucking hate what Progressive Liberals Online have done to the word “polycule” lol... y’all just saw a completely harmless word that describes a perfectly harmless and often beautiful and loving type of relationship distinctive to a marginalized group and turned it into a joke bc you personally think it’s weird. it’s so annoying. like we get it you think polyamorous people are Weird and Cringey and your issue with jokes targeting marginalized groups isn’t actually that they’re harming marginalized people, it’s that they’re harming you specifically, and you’re perfectly eager to make jokes about marginalized groups you and your friends consider acceptable targets. god people on here can be so annoying
Pro-tip to young trans guys:
If a stranger misgenders you, please please please do not ever utter the phrase, “I’m a man.” It sounds very unnatural and immediately sounds overly defensive.
My advice? Just look at the person like they’re an idiot and, in the deepest voice possible, say, “Uh. Alright, then.”
Just act as though they made a huge and obvious mistake, and don’t get flustered. If you’re comfortable with it, handle the situation with humor and say something like, “Man, I know I’ve got a babyface, but I didn’t think it was that bad.”

So my curious ass decided to respond. And I got this answer.
So I'm still weary of this person, so I didn't really respond in my usual energetic self.
So I responded to them [again]
So this bitch talks about her 'ex' and I'm like: 👁👄👁
Now this was the question that got me suspicious even more
[Don't @ me i was trying to make up some dumb excuse]
Even though that is sus, I responded.
This is what made me block them.
So I asked @mobihyuki if anything similar happened to her and turns out she did.
I'll leave the rest to her but anyone please be aware if someone suspicious slides into your dms
Everyone should know the international sign for Help Me. Let’s make this famous!!
Not all women can become pregnant. Not everyone who can become pregnant is a woman.
It is important for us to use accurate and specific language when talking about important issues, because we always want to include everyone who is impacted by an issue. Exclusion and erasure are forms of oppression.
can y’all just… like or reblog if y’all are polyam-safe blogs
Can Americans please not bring Irish Gaelic names into white names discourse?
Irish is the native language of Irish people. It’s an ancient language that is on the brink of extinction as a direct result of colonialism and cultural and physical genocide.
Names like Saoirse (freedom), Áine (radiant), Aoife (beautiful) etc are traditional Irish names. They’re spelt “funny” because Irish is a different language from English, and has some sounds that aren’t found in the English language.
It’s not the same thing as edgy white Americans naming their kid Kathylyn instead of Kathleen to try to be different
Hey, just a heads up to everyone who follows my blog: if you see anybody with an orange and black square in their bio, they’re a transphobe.
Idiots on TikTok have been coming out in droves in support of some bullshit identity called “super straight” which basically means that they’re only attracted to cis people 🙄 They’re trying to wedge themselves into the LGBTQ+ community and their claim is that it’s phobic toward them to say that they’re transphobic… it’s just a gargantuan cishet headache.
So, to reiterate: orange and black squares = the “super straight” flag = transphobic dogwhistle. Stay safe everyone!
Found this on Facebook! BOOST!

Hey y’all,
PSA:
I know you want people to support things but,
These “like if you don’t” and “reblog if you do” posts need to be stopped or the “Dont scroll past or your a bad person” or anything like it these are extremely extra mean to people with anxiety.These causes them to spiral and hate on themselves or this causes panic attacks.So these actually need to stop,in fact some of these are triggers to people.So stop and just make the post stating on the point and let people reblog on their own time and not your time.
Also some people support the quote being said but find them to be annoying so,please stop doing this.
These are actual guilt tripping posts and it’s really bad to do this.
Sometimes good posts are made by annoying people so I’ll help out
These are Safe Shorts. They were made by Sandra Seilz after someone attempted to rape her. If the fabric is torn, an alarm will be sounded.
This is the Rape-aXe, invented by a South African doctor by the name of Sonnet Ehlers. After interviewing a rape victim who wished she had teeth down there, she made this. If someone’s penis is inserted and pulled back out, the teeth will sink in, and can only be removed by a doctor.
The Killer Tampon (couldn’t find a site for it), made by retired anaesthetist Jaap Haumann. When penetration takes place, the sharp end will slice the offending appendage.
The Anti-Rape Belt (also couldn’t find a site), made by a group of Swedish teenagers led by Nadja Björk. It requires two hands to undo.
Anti-Rape Underwear/Bra (once again), as made by a group of Indian students. Will deliver an electric shock when met with unwanted advances, as well as sounding an alarm.
Undercover Colours. Made by 4 male undergraduates at North Carolina U, they change colours when in contact with chemicals or drugs that cause unconsciousness. Used in case you’re wary that your drink has been roofied.
These are just tools to help, but in addition to being mindful of your situations and staying safe, they can help when the worst happens.
Stay safe.
Reminder that polyamorous people:
remain polyamorous even when they’re dating only one person or nobody, in the same way a bi/pan person is still bi/pan when they’re not dating someone of the same gender
are often socially ostracized and suffer discrimination and aggression, including things like being fired or kicked out of their parents’ house for being polyam
don’t have marriage rights or many other legal protections anywhere in virtually the entire world
are inherently queer. They aren’t just sometimes also queer in addition to being polyamorous - polyamory is queer
Heads up pet keepers: zebra mussels have been spotted in Petco Betta Buddy brand moss balls.
If you don't know what zebra mussels are, they're an invasive aquatic species that reproduces incredibly quickly, to the point where it can damage power plant equipment and pipes, and also is a major threat to native mussels as it rapidly outcompetes them. They are a scourge on lakes across the midwest and spread easily on boats or other watercraft thats been exposed to them.
Finding one in a chain pet store item is BAD NEWS. These items are sold across the entire country and this has the potential to be a major spreader event. If you spot a zebra mussel on marimo or on any other aquarium plant please make a report to the relevant wildlife officials so they can be controlled. Do not dispose of any aquarium animal or plant in a waterway.
If we are vigilant, we can help keep our native mussels safe.
new p*do euphemism dropped
Look out! Transphobes are now using the term TEHM (Trans Exclusionary Homosexual Man). From what I’ve seen they primarily target trans women just like TERFS and hang in the same circles as them. Stay safe and avoid anyone you see using that term!
COME ON, PEOPLE! WE'RE BANNING THE CONFEDERATE FLAG!

Today, Amazon announced the imminent launch of its newest endeavor, Kindle Worlds, a publishing platform for fanfiction. When I read the announcement, I was horrified, then angry, then sad. I want to take a moment to explain why this is such a tragedy.

a lot of us will reblog this and think “wow i need to check on people” or “i need to make people feel loved” but 99% of us will end up not doing it because we are not used to doing it and it’ll be weird for us to start doing it out of nowhere
BUT everyone needs support, love and understanding. not because a person looks happy does it mean they no longer need help. lets all reach out to our loved ones by at least calling them hi or checking up on them. its not too late to make a good change. sure it might be weird in the beginning but trust me, they will see that you care and it will make not only their day but possibly also their life
and it can even change others to start checking on their loved ones
even if you only reblog, that’s enough
i was debating on whether or not i should post this on tumblr but seeing as there haven’t been posts about this yet, here it is. i’m exposing my real location and nationality but it doesn’t matter.
if you have been active on twitter, you may already know #savemyanmar is trending. long story short, there has been a military coup. several nations have released statements but i want to share insight on what’s happening in the country.
memes about a coup have been circulating around for a couple days and when i slept at 2 am last night, we were still under the rule of the National League for Democracy (NLD). while they are not technically democratic, they are the closest we’ve got. when my mother woke up at 6 this morning, she was notified that the country was now under the rule of the military.
banks services are no longer available. wifi was cut at around 7-8. some people got wifi again earlier but many got it barely thirty minutes ago. this is bad for businesses especially ones that require international communications. additionally, international students like myself are experiencing anxiety; how do we pay for and attend classes if we’re not sure wifi is a given?
myanmar has a long, complicated history with military governments. the last time the military went into rule was in 1962 and only stopped in 2011, following the 2010 elections. there was a huge protest in 1988 lead by students that resulted in lots of death. during the military junta, resources like rice, water, oil, were scarce. the gist is military rule is bad for us.
all of my followers are not myanmar citizens, i’m sure but as part of the international community, please help us. here is a petition that you can sign (although i’m not sure if that can do much). there may be protests in front of myanmar embassies so look out for those. most of all, please help spread awareness.
the people here are coping with dark humor, primarily in the form of memes but we don’t know how long this rule will last, even though the official statement said only a year. here’s something that pretty much sums up our coping mechanism:
again, even a reblog helps
You don’t have to be black, it just means you support us, you stand by us and your for us.
