Whenever people talk about being hit on I’m always a little clueless to the stuff that they talk about because I’ve never been hit on. Granted, I don’t go out much (something that I might try to change) but even when I’ve never had anyone approach me before so I have no clue what people are even talking about when they talk about it lol

do you know why fermin is constantly mentioned when talking about the national team? it's not the first time i've seen tweets like this

It's because stupid people fall for click-bait titles and can't waste two minutes of their precious time actually reading the whole article 🙃

Basically during the last international break there were rumours that Fermín may join the national team and people started complaining that DLF called him and not Isco, when in fact Fermín was called up to the sub-21 team.

And now whenever there's a player that twitter coaches think is worthy of a call up from the national team, they say "he won't get called but Fermín will" because "Barça PR"... he has become the scapegoat for idiots who are unable to formulate a coherent and well-structured discourse to support their player.

What do I think says the most about a person?

I guess I have two answers. If they show up for you and if they believe you.

Lemme explain.

Showing up for someone that needs help is everything. And I don't just mean when someone needs help moving or they need a ride. When I was self-harming, my aunt was my go-to person to talk to. When I would text her, something as simple as sending dog memes back and forth was enough distraction for me that I didn't end up self-harming. She's ALWAYS there when I need ANYTHING. I try to do the same for her, but I can never thank her enough for being there when I was in a really bad place.

Secondly, my dad is a narcissist. To everyone, aside from my mom and I, he looks like a great guy. But my mom and I lived with him. We know what he's really like, and very few people believed us when we tried to tell them. It was infuriating because we dealt with years of mental and emotional abuse. Hardly anyone believed us, let alone understood. It was not only validating when someone understood or believed us but it was also like a breath of fresh air.

How was there an octopus in his backyard in Utah. He then said “I do not have time to elaborate we need to cover a lot today in class” GIRL WHAT DO YOU MEEAN

Things I've seen tumblr memeing about James Somerton doing à la "How did no one see how bigoted he was!" as if those things haven't been a significant part of tumblr culture for over a decade :

Presenting untrue and bordering on conspiratorial versions of (queer or otherwise marginalised) history without any sources

Completely disregarding and disrespecting any expertise on socio-cultural topics/humanities and distrusting academics and historians (incl. acting as if no academics or historians could be queer or marginalised)

Downplaying the role misogyny played in the historical oppression of queer women and concluding that queer men must have been more oppressed than queer women

Bi women are, at best, not as queer as "real" queer ppl, and at worst, simply equivalent to straight women

Despite nominal trans inclusivity, transmasculine ppl are functionally women when convenient (combined with the above, bi transmascs are functionally straight women)

Despite nominal trans inclusivity (bis), shamelessly attacking, threatening and actively endangering any trans woman who questions them or smth they find important (often by unfairly presenting her as violent or as a threat)

Having absolutely fucking wild and reductive takes about ace ppl, the oppression they face and their place in the queer community

Stating that marriage equality is an assimilationist fight while completely ignoring its direct roots in the horrifying consequences of the AIDS crisis for partners of ppl who died of AIDS

Praising western media creators from the past for queer coding even under censure and in the same breath condemning current non western media creators for being homophobic bc their representation isn't explicit enough

Blaming China for all existing homophobic censoring in western media

Assuming all queer media would be better told by western creators and by western standards

Only out queer ppl get to tell queer stories

Heavily criticising almost all queer media created by women or ppl they see as such (see above points about trans ppl) or involving/starring a significant amount of women for any perceived or real amount of "problematicness", but fawning over and praising and negating criticism of queer media created by and starring mostly or even functionally exclusively men (even when it could be argued that, you know, not involving/seriously sidelining women is a pretty clear example of misogyny which should probably be considered "problematic")

And I'm probably forgetting stuff or there's stuff I have internalised myself and don't recognise as an issue

Like idk but I feel like the takeaway from Hbomberguy and Toddintheshadow's videos should maybe be "be aware of such patterns in your communities bc they definitely exist" and not "this guy is uniquely awful" and I feel like a lot of the discussion I've seen surrounding this has been severely failing at that. Most ppl who've spent any significant amount of time on tumblr prob either have internalised at least one of those thought patterns, have had to de-internalise them, or have had to be extremely vigilant to not internalise them (which is done by, you know, seeking out other sources, which also seemed like an important takeaway from the videos)

You’ve heard of “justice league doesn’t know Batman has kids”

Now prepare for “the Team doesn’t know Batman is Robins dad”

Paulina was walking home from her little self-care date~ when she noticed a familiar figure, she slowed, double checked to make sure it wasn't some random civilian, grinned and-

threw her knife!

Wes caught it, because of course he did cautious bastard. And yes she realises this now that fighting on the street was not the smartest move but it was a long time since she saw her friends from Amity and they got along fairly well with Weston.

So they had a good time, she managed to nip him on the cheek with her knife (after taking it back) he left her with a new bruise (it will be gone by tomorrow noon) and then they were both taken in by the police...

And now she has to explain why she did what she did to the GCPD and Ancients help probably Batman as soon as she gets back to her apartment. Who could've guessed that having a friendly brawl would be so taboo in Gotham? (who is she kidding of course it's suspicious it looked like they were trying to kill each other to any normal person!)

and she's not sure how much she should say!
