THG and TBOSAS

Potential Spoilers for The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. You have been warned.

Theory: The trend of surgically changing body parts to those of animals in the capitol was a result of Gauls experiments. I can just imagine the media circus that they had to orchestrate to explain it when it happened. 

When they got out.

I recommend reading this from right to left for a more positive take on this :)

Just a heads up

You know those “donate by watching” videos going around for BLM? I’ve made a list of all of em I could find. 8 of the 28 I found have been removed from youtube. This happened around the same time I believe, as they were all there mere hours ago.

Asexual people can want closed, monogamous relationships.

Just because someone doesn’t feel sexual attraction doesn’t mean they are okay with you sleeping with other people.

Some people may be okay with that but not all. Don’t assume that because you’re dating an asexual person that they’re okay with you sleeping with other people.

When you know how big of a deal sex is in the world due to how sexualised everything is, thinking that you aren’t enough for your partner and they have to look somewhere else for something many people consider important (especially for a healthy relationship) is really, really hurtful.

If you haven’t discussed it with your partner and they don’t want an open relationship then; It is still cheating. Depending on their type of Asexuality:

they may not want any sex with you but that doesn’t mean they’re okay with you going to someone else for it.

They may be open to having sex with you just maybe not as often as you like but that doesn’t mean they are okay with you going to someone else for it.

They could have sex with you regularly but still not be sexually attracted to you (since they are on the asexual spectrum) but that doesn’t mean that they are okay with you acting on an impulse for someone you are sexually attracted to.

All of the above could be really hurtful. Just because they don’t feel sexual attraction doesn’t mean they are okay with you sleeping with other people because they understand that romantic and sexual attractions are different. If it doesn’t apply to a ‘normal’ romantic relationship I.e your romantic and sexual partner being the same person with no-one else involved (for a closed monogamous relationship) then guess what?! That can still apply in a relationship with an Asexual person.

They shouldn’t feel bad for wanting these things when it’s what’s expected in a heteronormative or a non-poly queer relationship. It’s okay for them to want their partner to remain loyal to them if that’s what they want and they shouldn’t be expected to just live with it, if they’re partner goes elsewhere and they aren’t okay with it.

Too relatable

Do you ever like have a reader’s block when you want to read something but you’ve already read everything you want to read, but you also want to read something new, but you don’t know what because you really want to read stuff you’ve already read but you also want to read new stuff but like really fast, as in you want a book to get over really quickly but you can’t find any book like that

Now this... this is something I can relate to

gym class was about getting so good at not being noticed that you were always the last one left on your team during dodgeball and everyone was begging you to throw balls at people but you simply could not and did not want to throw balls at people

A completely unrelated topic to anything I usually post but I’m getting annoyed by people complaining about Elsa not getting a girlfriend in Frozen 2 and saying that they want her as the first LGBT+ Disney Princess.

This is because she’s a) A Queen and b) She could be Aro/A-Spec, as she’s not getting any love interest and would therefore still be apart of the community.

Jeez let Aro/A-Spec people get some real representation.

i think part of the reason why i love disney’s hercules so much is that the idea of a sassy hades resounds so deeply with me as a person who has siblings. like imagine if you were rich as fuck and had to live in what’s basically the flooded basement of the entire world while your brothers fart around banging everything in sight. if i had to live in a literal swamp and listen to stories about poseidon turning into a horse to get sexy with demeter i’d probably have no fucking patience too

Not American but this will potentially help the many of you who are.

hey guys psa regarding hospital bills

don’t just pay it. do not automatically pay the hospital bill when you receive it. call your health insurance provider and POLITELY say, “excuse me, i just received a bill for $1200 for my hospital visit/ER visit/etc., is that the correct amount i’m supposed to pay?” because hospitals bill you before your health insurance and they will take your money no matter how the amount due may change based on your health insurance looking at it. 90% of the time, if your health insurance is in any way involved in the payment of that bill, you do not have to pay as much as the hospital is billing you for. call your health insurance provider first, and POLITELY request clarification, always remember that the person you are talking to is human and this is just their job, and then you will very likely find out you actually only owe $500.

don’t shout at anyone about it, don’t get mad, just understand that this is The Way Things Are right now and call your health insurance provider before paying the bill your hospital just sent you. there’s a chance the hospital bill might be correct, true, but call your health insurance provider.

The ‘Get off of my back’ scene will forever and always be one of my most favourite and iconic movie scenes that I have ever witnessed.

Honestly one of myself and my sisters highlights in childhood

Rewatched “Sprit: Stallion of the Cimarron” for the hundredth time and, like, why don’t people talk about this movie more??? Like it came out only a year after Shrek and that movie has a shit ton of sequels and yet no one ever talks about Spirit??? Like, 

(1) It doesn’t glorify or romanticize colonialism. It is some real-ass shit.

(2) It has amazing art.

(3) The main human character is Native American.

(4) It doesn’t stereotype or generalize or dehumanize Native Americans.

(5) It’s about horses!!!!

If you haven’t seen or even heard of this movie, drop everything right the fuck now and go watch. NOW. GO. GO. GO. It’s just an all-around good movie that will give you so many feels.

I still think Moana deserved an Oscar for this part

If it helps anyone, 0°C is 32°F

So:

15°C= 59°F

25°C= 77°F

30°C= 86°F

32°C= 89.6°F

35°C= 96.8°F

40°C= 104°F

45°C= 113°F

And so on

As the temperatures in the northern hemisphere are on the rise, I’d just like to say:

Please stop making fun of British people for “not being able to take the heat”.

Summer temperatures these past few years have been unprecedented, and this country is not equipped to deal with it. 2018 was England’s hottest summer in history with temperatures reaching almost 40C in places. The next few summers are all predicted to be bad too.

In case you’re not aware, we don’t have air conditioning, we don’t have ceiling fans, our houses aren’t built to keep us cool, we’re not used to temperatures like these because it shouldn’t be this hot (thank you climate change!). I work in the NHS and I can tell you people literally get sick during heatwaves. It’s not a laughing matter. I also say all this as an Indian person who knows what heat is, and can deal fine with 30C temperatures in Mumbai but completely melt when it goes over 25C in London, because here in Britain it’s a completely different feel whether you’re accustomed to heat or not.

So yeah, this year please think twice before making those posts laughing at “haha look at those British people who suffer in temperatures that are normal where I live!” because surprise surprise, it’s not funny, it’s an actual real problem.
