this site definitely doesn't allow you to paste the link to any article blocked by a paywall (say, a NYT article) so that you can read it free of charge! that would be illegal and would benefit broke college students too much. it definitely does not do that. promise.
sharks every time theres a cataclysmic extinction event: damn thats crazy. anyway
Good thing I’m so smooth

This is from an American Conservative Article on the topic of Residential Schools and Bishop Gardin's quote about wiping out entire cultures.
And while I can't fathom most Christians would actually say something so horrible, this is one of the biggest dangers of believing in a heaven and hell. You can justify so much evil if you believe you are saving people from eternal punishment.
I don't want to be anti-theist, but this is why so many people are (and why I do fight so hard against the Church). Some Religious ideas are too harmful and destructive to let it go. And they have gotten away with their toxicity for far too long.
obviously 2016 was a bad year but in retrospect it has such a fucking… distinct aesthetic to it, yknow? i couldn’t make a 2015 moodboard or a 2017 moodboard or a 2018 moodboard and have people immediately identify which year it’s referring to, but i feel like everyone would be able to very easily recognize a 2016 moodboard. such a recognizable culture and aesthetic around that year
wow this actually makes me feel really happy cause that person is me…
It me
I have to tell this story.
I thought I was the first person to come out on either side of my family, but like three years after I came out, my mom was like, “By the way, my Aunt Mildred was a lesbian.”
“What? Really?”
“Yeah. My mom just told me this story the other day about her. She also had really bad depression, so bad that she was hospitalized. Her father flew out to San Diego to see her there. The nurses caught him on the way in and told him the no matter what she said, he was not allowed to get upset.” (This is the Catholic side of the family. Like, serious Irish Catholic with eleven kids and multiple priests in the family. Also super-duper Southern. And this was the 1940s and it was illegal.) “And he got real scared, but he went in. And she said, ‘Daddy, I’m a lesbian.’ He threw his hands in the air and hollered, ‘OH THANK GOD! I was worried it was gonna be something bad.’”
So. Shoutout to my Great Aunt Mildred, because she got there before I did.
Further shoutout to my second cousin Jared, who thought he was the first in even the extended family until he turned up for Granny’s 90th birthday, saw me for the first time in probably fifteen years, and heard me utter the words, “My wife…”
General shoutout to anybody who even thought they were the first in their family when they came out, even if they found out differently later on.
Y'know what, I love this story so fucking much that I’m going to schedule it to reblog when people will see it.
shoutout to those nurses who were ready to throw the fuck down for their young depressed lesbian patient like… when we talk about allies that is actually the kind of ally that has helped us to survive. in the most literal sense.
Absolutely shoutout to Aunt Mildred’s Nurses. That was some Good Allyship.
