Society/the media is trying to teach us that if a woman looks pretty, she want to impress a guy. It’s disgusting

this pride month just a year ago we were celebrating nationwide gay marriage and the reaction was ecstatic. now we’re standing in the devastation of america’s largest mass shooting on a gay club. so fuck everyone who thought lgbt+ rights started and ended with legalising gay marriage. homophobia is present and real and dangerous.

This isn’t just another shooting. 

This is now officially, with over 50 casualties, the worst mass shooting in United States history. And the fact that it took place at a gay club was not merely coincidence. This was not just another act of senseless violence in America. This was a hate crime. 

A man walked into a safe space for the LGBT community with an assault rifle and lined them up and slaughtered them. 

Don’t do what the media is inevitably going to do. Don’t erase where this happened and who this happened to.

When you make your statements for/against gun control, remember this was a hate crime. When you make your statements about the gunman’s reported religious beliefs, remember this was a hate crime. When your politicians make empty promises about changing the way things are, remember this was a hate crime. When you make your statements about the media’s coverage of this, remind everyone this was hate crime. 

Do not gloss over the identities of the victims. They were killed for them. This was a hate crime.

Book Review as part of the 2016 Classics Challenge

Peter Pan is a well known classic that I read as part of the Classics Challenge in March. It seems almost unnecessary to summarise the plot but I'll do it anyway, here we go! Wendy and her two younger brothers John and Michael live in a very happy family. Their parents Mr. and Mrs. Darling love them dearly and they are well protected by their dog and nurse, Nana. One night, Peter Pan, a young boy who still has all his first teeth, enters their room to take them to Neverland. They had already heard of Peter Pan, dreamt of him. Now they are flying away with him to Neverland, across the Mermaid's Lagoon, Captain Hooks pirate ship and to where the Lost Boys live, Peter's friends. Wendy takes care of them as a real mother would, she tucks them in at night and cooks make-believe dinners. In the daytime, they bravely fight Captain Hook and discover Neverland. Many adventures pass and John an Michael do not seem to remember their real parents anymore. Wendy knows, they have to return home but Peter tries to prevent her from leaving. In the end, after an especially long and difficult fight against Captain Hook, the three kids return home where they continue to tell stories about Peter Pan. The Lost Boys go with them and are taken in by Mr. and Mrs. Darling, who allow Wendy to visit Peter once a year. It is revealed that Peter forgets to visit sometimes and Wendy does not encounter him until she is grown and has a little daughter of her own, Jane. When Peter visits her one last time, she cannot go with him as she is an adult, but she lets him take Jane with him. I am not sure what to think of this book, I definitely enjoyed it and it helped me calm down at night so that I might sleep a little better. Still it was very strange, though I knew it was going to be a confusing novel even before I started to read it. Wendy is sometimes seen as a love interest, then again as a mother and definitely way to serious and responsible to be only a child of 14 years. What I thought was particularly interesting, was Peter himself, his anxiety and childish mindset. Unfortunately, we do not get to know much about his past, only that he sometimes cries at night and longs desperately for a motherly figure, contradicting his general disapproval of "Mothers". He forgets very fast, allowing him to live so innocently and free as only children can. I do not know whether to pity him or be a little jealous. Probably both. While I would love to have the same freedom Peter possesses, I do love my family very much and I am not afraid of growing up. But do we really grow up completely anyways? :)

we joke about procrastination but nothing is worse than the nauseating feeling of having every intention of doing something but physically not being capable of doing it and then feeling like you want to throw up because the deadline is just getting closer and closer.
