Kevin is the type of person that would not admit to Neil that he’s the best he’s ever had on the court and then when he changes team to never let anyone forget that he once had Neil Josten as a teammate and no one will ever reach that level of good

gender essentialism is soooo funny bc it's like "this is what women are like" and you're like "I've met women and many of them, if not the majority, have not been like that" and it's like "well women SHOULD be like that" and you're like "why should women be like that" and its like "because that's what women are like"

“Ugh this prominent women in the Lesbian movement turned out to be a bisexual” “ugh this famous lesbian transitioned into a man” “ugh this queer romance writer turns out to be ace” “ugh this cis feminist author ended up being nonbinary” “ugh this writer on masculinity transitioned into a woman”

Oh no! We might have to recognize liberation as an interconnected intersectional struggle! Ahhh!!! >.<

terfs would lose their minds if they were exposed to 2000s-2010s "a girl can do anything a boy can do, including beating them at sports" messaging like why are you all acting like nobody has ever said this and that it's radical to think that women aren't inherently worse at things. open your mind. read some feminist theory. touch some grass. the most basic banal middle-class white woman feminism of the 2010s looks fucking radical and visionary compared to the misogynistic victimization complex y'all are peddling

i like the phrases "it's not for me," "it's not my thing," and "i'm not the target audience" because they're the most concise way to express "this thing that you enjoy has merits but idgaf about it" without being aggressive

We are starving in Gaza.

Today, my cousin and I went to the aid distribution site. As we approached the site, the Israeli army opened heavy fire on us. My cousin was injured in his hand and is now in the hospital. Please pray for his recovery. I saw many injured people next to us, but God saved us.

✅Vetted by @gazavetters my number verified on the list is (#658)✅

Even getting food has become almost impossible.

7-year-old girl needs gastritis treatment‼️

Little Joan has severe gastritis caused by IOF-induced malnutrition and stress. Her next treatment sessions are Thursday, 17 July and Monday, 21 July. Both are vital for her preventing her condition from worsening.

We are dividing the lump sum into 2 equal amounts and raising the funds in parts. If her single mother Maha cannot pay the full cost, Joan cannot receive her treatment, and her condition will deteriorate rapidly.

It is urgent that we raise the treatment cost by Thursday! Please reblog this post, boost posts from @mahafamily1, and donate what you can!!

Current: €37,120 out of €37,853 EUR

Need to raise €733 EUR (about $850 USD)

and that's the guy i, the Secretary of Education, want to help me kill the President.

Most warprizeji fics have either YLLZ going That One I Want That One and sweeping LWJ off his feet after LWJ thought he’d be treated like shit, or LWJ being offered up to a YLLZ who is suspicious of his new bride and suspects assassination attempts or something only for the two to mutually fall in love anyway, and I love both of those flavors! However, please consider: The sects all bully Lan into giving up LWJ as a war prize, LWJ is escorted (forced) to the Burial Mounds by representatives from Every Sect, and YLLZ takes one look at this new “gift” before absolutely fucking popping off because That Is A Person!! A Human Being!! What The Fuck Is Wrong With All Of You?!? Get Off My Mountain. And LWJ is left standing there, watching this actually very beautiful and powerful man absolutely rip the other sects a new asshole for basically trying to sell him a slave, thinking “… Maybe I DO want to tap that.” Only YLLZ has sent him away! He has forbidden the sects from ever trying anything like this again! Seriously, What Is Wrong With All Of You? (Yunmeng Jiang, the only ones who were not involved, are all quietly smug about the whole thing. We told you he wouldn’t go for it.) Not two weeks after returning to Gusu a caravan shows up outside cloud recesses, from the Yiling Wei Sect, carrying gifts for LWJ and his family and his sect as an apology for whatever the fuck that was, and a promise that if anybody tries to do anything like that again, they can reach out to Yiling Wei and YLLZ will come make damn sure nobody is going anywhere or doing anything they don’t actually want to be doing. … LWJ definitely wants to tap that. He ends up writing back a thank you letter to YLLZ, who responds in kind with reassurances that no thanks are necessary and seriously dude are you okay cause that was A Lot. LWJ writes another letter, promising he’s returned safely and happily to his home, and his brother and uncle have been very clingy and overprotective but things are settling down again. YLLZ writes him back. LWJ writes him back. Suddenly they’ve been pen pals for the better part of two years and LWJ has finally convinced WY to come visit him in Gusu so he can properly begin Operation: Seduce The Yiling Patriarch. The operation goes much smoother than expected, because it turns out YLLZ never actually saw his face last time. LWJ had been wearing a veil. So poor unsuspecting WWX rolls up to Gusu to come hang out with his buddy LWJ who he’s been sending letters to pretty consistently since the whole War Prize Fiasco only to come face to face with the most beautiful man to ever walk the earth. WY immediately decides to begin Operation: Seduce Hanguang-Jun. A week later they’re getting caught making out in the library like randy teenagers. Xichen does Not say I Told You To to Lan Qiren. Lan Qiren hears it anyway.
