Relationships are scary and complicated ONLY when you start thinking of your partner as some kind of adversary. 

You know how to stop being scared of relationships? Remember that it’s got a goddamn buddy system *built in*. That’s all a relationship IS: “Let’s approach life with the buddy system.”

Check on your buddy. Make sure your buddy doesn’t forget their lunch box on the schoolbus. Hold hands with your buddy so you don’t get lost. If your buddy wants to look at the monkey cage, look at the goddamn monkey cage with them. If you are the one looking at the monkey cage, ask your buddy what they want to do next, and when they want to feed the giraffe, help them find a quarter for the little food dispenser. Be a good buddy, and if your buddy isn’t a good one too, tell the teacher and ask for a new one.

This isn’t fucking rocket science, people. 

I have reblogged this before. I will reblog it again. And it’s not just romantic relationships: it’s family members and friends as well.

This kind of woke my ass up because of the amount of times I’ve had a buddy who didn’t check on me, didn’t want me to check on them, but didn’t want me to leave.

Being a lesbian has permanently skewed my ideals of fashion and aesthetics and I can’t be trusted anymore

There was a girl yesterday with like a straight bob and a big sweater on and I told my best friend (who’s straight) “man sometimes I wish I had straight hair because sorta messy straight hair and a big sweater is….it’s such a look.” And she went “it’s really not” and I was like “uh LOOK at her??? She looks SO cute” and my friend was like “sure” And after a few minutes of further observation and self reflection I realized I’m just gay

You guys are misunderstanding. I don’t mean it’s messed with what I wear specifically. I mean I could talk to a funny girl at a party who’s wearing a trash back she cut holes in for her arms and head and I’d think it was a look on her

why do i feel this is somehow a callout post at me directly despite the fact that there is absolutely no possible way it could be

People that get invested in fiction and examine fictional lore need to learn how to tell the difference between which lore is actually important to the series and which lore is an excuse for something.

If Dwarven women are capable of growing beards, but have cultural reasons not to, that is an excuse that they made not to give them beards.

If a female character can only wear skimpy clothing for some given reason, that is an excuse to sexualize her.

If an organization can only be populated men, that is often an excuse to not have to create female characters.

Its all made up. It isn’t a foundation of the universe that they can’t control. They wrote it to be like that.

Just had a child say “circumcise me, captain!” And his mom smacked him in the back of the head and said “I’m so sorry I don’t know where he heard that I don’t even know if he knows what that means” and I’m thinking about how kids are just walking shitpost generators

Hey, remember when environmentalist cartoons from the early 90s used to get criticised for oversimplifying complex issues because they depicted the primary drivers of pollution and climate change as a tiny group of power-mad billionaire industrialists who deliberately promote unsustainable business practices for absolutely no reason other than satisfying their weird garbage fetish?
