What just happened on CNN? Im at work and so wasn’t somewhere I could watch

Sure I’ll sum up.

So there was a very good peaceful protest by…. Lafayette Park? Right outside the White House. They were chanting, they had multiple reporters in the crowd, it was fucking CHILL, people were waiting for Trump to do a speech in the Rose Garden.

Then, out of nowhere, truly NOWHERE, the cops closed in from three directions and threw gas into the crowd. They used rubber bullets on the crowd IMMEDIATELY. One dude told the reporter “They don’t care about new, move.” They drove out the totally fucking peaceful, pre-curfew protestors.

They moved them all out, and Trump started speaking, and you could hear the fucking gas going off over his speech. CNN fucking did a splitscreen to show the peopple being shoved back as the motherfucker stood up there and said he would protect our rights and would mobilize the military against people.

Then back to the reporters, and everyone was forced further and further away. One woman on a bike told the reporter “They are getting the water cannons ready, you wanna move.”

TURNS OUT.

ALL OF THIS.

WAS BECAUSE TRUMP WANTED A PHOTO OP AT THE CHURCH ACROSS THE STREET. HE WANTED THEM OUT OF THE WAY SO HE COULD STAND WITH A BIBLE IN FRONT OF A CHURCH.

Even CNN is calling him a dictator, at 7PM.

Then the Illinois governor came out and called him a racist, xenophobic, misogynistic failure.

I will never ever ever ever EVER be over Character A barely surviving something and Character B being so overcome with relief they just have to clutch A and bury their face in A’s neck while A tells them it’s okay.

Today I’ve learnt that there’s a word in italian (”solare”) to describe a person who brights the room, who is warm and good and cheerful and worries about others and I think is so cute??? I love it

[geymyguy]

read this out loud:

• I am allowed to take a break today

• It’s not selfish to put my feelings and health first

• I need to remember to care for myself

• I should be allowed to express myself, I am lovely as I am

[geymyguy]

I relate to this

Here it is! One gigantic collection of Seokjin fics. Some are recommended by myself and then others have been recommended to me! I hope to read them all one day, and as I discover more Seokjin fics, I will add them to this post. 

P.S A MASSIVE thank you to @tan-dulset for sending me a wonderful list she’d taken her time to collect and type up. This post would be half the size without you! You’re the best! 💖

key; [s] = smut [a] = angst [f] = fluff [♥︎] = read and loved!!

I hope I am not the only one who just found out this shit lmao

wow, that’s wild. Medusa was a symbol of strength, feminism, power, and divine femininity. She wasn’t a villain at all, just a victim of jealousy.

cast of characters

billy, a closeted gay boy who parties too much, really likes classic rock and cars, and hates his summer job

steve, a helpless bisexual disaster who craves affection, probably needs better friends, and just wants a break

robin, the iconic coworker/friend of steve who is probably smarter than he ever will be, and is a little too good at solving mysteries

and everyone else, who is just trying to put up with their bullshit this summer.
