people need to be more aware of this. the way people in the uk are so happy to say "thank god it isn't our problem" but don't realise that what the government is currently doing is attempting to stifle our voices and push us in the same direction as America.

the uk government is trying to scrap the human rights act.

i’ve not seen a lot in the media about this so i’m going to do my best to put this into words and explain what will happen if the government is successful in replacing the human rights act with the rights removal bill.

this will mean that in the uk:

you won’t be allowed to say anything negative about the government

if you are disabled or chronically ill, you won’t be allowed to say no to being given a DNR in hospital

you won’t be allowed to bring ‘trivial’ human rights violations to court

public authorities (the police) won’t have to actively protect people’s human rights

the uk military will be allowed to basically do whatever they want overseas

if you ever commit a crime, they can disregard your human rights

the government will not be obligated to obey human rights

if you are from the uk PLEASE sign this petition, and also to everyone else, please please please share this.

there's this amazing invention by a man named Author Leslie Large you might not have heard of, but it's become an essential household appliance for many. it's very easy to use. they call it a "kettle" and it boils your water in seconds! fucking wild!

DO IT PLEASE I AM SO BOREDDDDDD

Hello please reblog this if you're okay with people sending you random asks to get to know you better

[hopejonesswan815]

this is absolutely brilliant. I couldn't not reblog-

i have thought a lot about censorship and what is “appropriate”. not a lot of people know this, but lolita was written to show what we allow on our bookshelves: there being no swear words in it meant it was free from censorship. a book about child molestation was allowed because it didn’t explicitly use the word “fuck”. he wrote it to show we don’t really care about protecting children, and it ended up being seen as a romance.

someone once told me - actually, many people have - that lgbt content isn’t appropriate for children. any content. not just kissing. i’m drowned in questions: “won’t the parents have to explain it?” “kids shouldn’t be thinking about sex at this age, or do you think differently?” “what will the kids think?”

at six i saw disney movies. people kiss and get married. i didn’t ask “what does that mean.” i didn’t ask “are those people going to have sex?” i didn’t ask anything, because i was six, and no six year old thinks twice about these things. nobody ever “explained” being straight to me, it was a fact, and it existed, and i was fine with that. why would being gay require a thesis, i wonder.

someone once told me that the one of the reasons people hate lgbt individuals is because they can’t see us as anything but sexual. we’re not people, so much as sinners. that they don’t see love, they see sex. just sex. it’s perversion, not a matter of the heart. only of the body.

i think i was in my early twenties before i saw someone like me. 

how old were you, though, before you saw violence? before you saw sexual assault on tv? i think something like that is only pg-13, and if it’s implied, they can get away with anything. i remember watching things and learning about blood, but knowing sex - sex was what was really wrong. sex was always rated r. sex was always kind of a bad word. i was told a lot that i wasn’t ready.

i had a dream last night that i made a site where people could ask any question they wanted about sex and get answered by a professional. it was shut down in moments because 15 year olds wanted to know if it should hurt, if “double-bagging” was a real thing, if this, if that. we shudder. don’t let the children know about that! 

but at thirteen i had seen enough violence it no longer struck me. i couldn’t say “fuck” but i knew that if you break your femur, you can bleed out internally in under half an hour. in school i wasn’t allowed to write about loving girls because what would the administration think - but i could write about wanting to kill myself and people would say how lovely, how blistering.

i have thought a lot about censorship. sometimes people on this site try it with me: don’t write this, don’t be so nasty. some of it is intrinsic. we know as people with a uterus not to complain about “that time of the month”, we know better than to talk about sexual assault (how shameful), we know that talking about a vagina is somehow scandalous. i can say “dick” and nobody questions me. some people only refer to the bottom half of me by “pussy”. they won’t wrap a mouth around “vagina” like it’s poison to them. even discussing this, that the language halts, that there’s an intrinsic desire to say “girls” instead of “women” - feels naughty, illicit. not for children.

the other day someone suggested i make my blog 18+. i said, okay, it deals a lot with depression and other problems that might be for a mature audience. oh no, they said, that’s not it, i think that’s helpful. i said, okay. so what is it then. well, you’re gay. you write about loving women. and i said, i don’t write about sex often and they said. it’s not about the sex. but wlw isn’t for a general audience. teenagers aren’t ready.

oh.

lolita is recommended for high school and up. i think about that a lot. i know girls who love it, who say it speaks to them on a deep level. it’s beautiful prose, after all. that was the whole point of the novel. something that looked like a rose but was intrinsically awful. i think about how if i was a model they’d want me to look young, thin, prepubescent. how my body would be sold and how through the mall i walk by images of barely-clothed women while mothers cannot breastfeed in public without fear of retribution. 

i think about how i can write a novel about violence and it will be pg-13 but if my characters say “fuck” twice it’s inappropriate. i said fuck three times so far in this post, which makes it only appropriate for adults. 

i think about that, and how my identity is something that people suggest lines up with a swear word. that people shouldn’t talk about it. that it’s a vulgarity. bad for children, harsh, confusing.

fuck. i love women. which one makes this only for those over eighteen.

just thought this deserved to resurface...

Monica Geller answering the question: Who is Regina Mills’ True Love?

Swen:

[hopejonesswan815]

there's nothing more to add here... this post is just perfect in every way

I would love to see Emma with a female love interest but... why Regina? By pretty much every standard she is an awful, petty and spiteful human being who is responsible for hundreds of of innocent deaths. ..One of the reasons by Outlaw Queen makes absolute no sense to me is that she executed his wife before Emma changed the past and still had as far as Robin knew and that sort of thing was so common for her she didn't even remember it. Emma and her have never had a singe non hostile interaction.

Dear Eugene,

I will defend Regina faster than I will defend myself. I don’t think you want to see that side of me. Trust me, it’s not pretty.

I will say this, though, in case you weren’t aware, there’s this really incredible thing that has existed ever since fictional stories were created called *drum roll*… A REDEMPTION ARC! Wow! Characters can have second chances! Characters can redeem themselves for shitty things they have done in the past! Wow! Such innovation!

I know, it seems almost too good to be true.

Eugene, we do agree on one very important thing. Outlaw Queen makes absolutely no sense.

However, I must ask you this, are you sure we’re watching the same show? Just to be clear, we are talking about Once Upon a Time, right?

“Emma

and

her

have never

had

a single

non

hostile

interaction”

NOT EVEN ONE, RIGHT, EUGENE?

They have never saved each other or anything. It’s not like Regina gave up her happy ending for Emma. Not at all. It’s not like that’s an actual canon thing that has happened.

Have a great day, Eugene.
