Make a moon pendant in one of two ways to celebrate tonight’s new moon!
Indystraddlers’ Post-Pride #AutoPride bunch 🎉✌🏼️☀️ (at Yolk Indianapolis)
Miley is an imperfect celebrity advocate with a splotchy history of racism and cultural appropriation that she has never apologized for. However, this campaign, at least in its first hours, seems seriously groundbreaking in scope and wonderfully positive in its approach.
I cannot give you any tips about how to turn good first dates into relationships because I keep falling for people who live 300 to 3,000 miles away from me like a doofus. But I have first dates on lock.
In terms of tone, I highly recommend going into every conversation assuming positive intent. If you assume everything will go just fine and that they don’t actually hate [you or your people], your attitude rubs off. The worst that happens is that you assume positive intent where none exists, and I also find that’s not necessarily a bad thing: when someone doesn’t have a positive intent and you assume they do, sometimes they change their behavior because they realize they want to be the person you thought they were.
Ali Osworth, writing about confrontation in a very specific context but with words so brilliant they’re applicable to basically everything. From “#TooGayForWifi: Please Stop Blocking Gay Websites” on Autostraddle.com. (via tinymohawkedguru)
For people experiencing this: none of it is in your head. The reason you feel weird/uncomfortable/angry is because your white partner is asserting their white-supremacist based notions of communities of color onto you. You don’t deserve that shit. It’s boring, insulting, and you don’t need to combat their issues while trying to figure your own life out. Your family isn’t a reflection of every South Asian family. And if you’re dealing with transphobia/homophobia in your family, you don’t need someone who’s going to throw an ethnic stereotype in your face. Like motherfuck that forever, bb.
It is supposed to feel like the end of the world right now. That, my beautiful dearest Ris, is how you know that it was worth it. That is why it was one of the relationships that shook your core and after which you will never be the same. That is how you know that you are growing up and are experiencing shit rather than living safely in risk-free choices….
The world is supposed to feel as though it is ending and you are supposed to know only in the most dormant recesses of the backmost corner of your soul that it will not be like this forever.
First off, I LOVE THAT YOU JUST CONFESSED ABOUT THE DOG. THIS is why I love everyone at camp. #arrow
