You will not believe where my afhf location search ended up
So I increased the brightness and exposure which left me with this
On Google lens search I found this
And you are telling me I am not supposed to click on the home
Where is this though?
It's in mexico
So if this year afhf turns out to be in mexico I'll fling myself of a cliff

//Yeah, I was out as well, but from what I could see, AAs were saying that Jared stans hate The Winchesters cast and are taking it out on them (I could be wrong).// - oof, if it was about that then I get the 'coming from a jared stan' thing makes sense because this is where that gossip originated:
https://www.tumblr.com/neecy83/695663495246757888/yep-catts-always-been-questionable-and-ive
(sorry, can't tag the og because it was hookerwitch and its deactivated). CattIsANerd then deleted the tweet when she got called out but a scroll through her twitter and she's been complaining about the response to it all day. I get calling people out if they were actually hating, but mostly I've seen people saying Drake and Meg don't fit the John and Mary we know and, yes, commenting on Meg's interviewing skills and saying she needs media training. But that's not hate, that's saying, look, this girl is going to be doing press and should be more/better prepared because as it stands she sounds.. rough.. in interviews. And not only was that not hate, but Catt went on to defend herself saying it was only a few people, not the majority... the thing is, if you truly are a Jared stan then you see how him and his fans get treated for just existing... so why would you actively draw a target on them for a "few" fans..??? I could see if it was becoming an issue and a lot of people were dragging the cast for no reason, then sure, call it out. But when its, as she herself said, only a few people, then why even call attention to it especially when you KNOW how quickly antis jump on???
Ah, that's where it is! Thanks!
She may have said just a few fans, but I would really like receipts.
I think this is the case (like so many others) who see criticism as being equal to hate. As soon as they see something that puts their favorite in a bad light, regardless of who it comes from, they immediately go on the defensive and call them haters, or call the argument hate. By so doing, they've immediately categorized the argument as invalid because it comes from a "hater," thereby allowing them to pretend that real criticism doesn't exist. Putting on blinders to valid criticism doesn't do them, or the one being criticized any good.

Even CNN is reporting the truth more now. But if you are held without being charged, you aren’t a prisoner, you’ve been kidnapped and are a HOSTAGE. And human rights organizations have said that the other 50%, who were charged, were mainly charged with throwing rocks, and that even most of that was made up.
For all the pro israel who came to my posts of Palestinian children celebrating their freedom, calling them terrorists and criminals. Israel is an occupation state, they don't need a reason to arrest you as long as you're Palestinian.

Good morning. Can I serve you anything? Coffee, tea, whiskey?
I'm posting that after Kevin's morning routine post cause it makes sense.
The sad thing is that I would have made Muse animatics on them if I didn't have that much work. I swear some of their song fit so well (especially Undisclosed Desires and Newborn, for those who know), I'm probably gonna have to something about it eventually.
I have to notice the domesticity they're soaked in once they move in together, it's just so easy to picture...

Honestly I'm glad that the aro community is moving from "we still love our friends and family we're not heartless!" to "we don't need to make up for our lack of romantic attraction with other forms of love" because yeah, our platonic and/or familial relationships are not romance-lite or a substitute for romantic love and a lot of aros reject the idea of love altogether. So yeah fuck trying to appeal to alloromantic people with the whole "we swear we're normal" thing. I don't need to make sense to anyone
Either you accept me as I am whether you understand me or not or you leave me the fuck alone

Mike was NERVOUS
Mike was so nervous when he asked if they could be "best friends" again:
He wasn't sure how Will would answer. Just like how Mike was amazed that Will "said yes" in kindergarten:
And Mike felt he had to make a FUCKIN CASE to be Will's best friend, when of course we all knew Will was gonna say yes:
Mike is afraid of rejection because he has feelings that go beyond even "best friends." Will is also afraid Mike will reject him; this is why they hardly called each other that year. They're terrified of asking for "too much," that whatever they feel is unrequited...
For Mike, being best friends with your best friend isn't something to be nervous about... if that was all it was about! ;) If Mike were a platonic straight best friend, then he would've gone about this differently.

It's kinda shocking to me how few people seem to know how prevalent the 'my great grandmother was cherokee' myth is and how it's almost never actually true, especially when it comes with things like 'never signed up' or 'fell off the trail' or 'courthouse burned down destorying the documentation' etc etc.
People just don't even seem to know the history like.. when the Trail happened. My great great great grandfather was 2 years old during Removal in 1838, so peoples 'my great grandmother hid in the mountains!' is so clearly wrong. And we have rolls. From before and after removal, rolls done by cherokee nation and others by the government, rolls that were not stored in one random flammable courthouse. It's not difficult to find the actual evidence of ancestry.
And just.. there are lots of ways those family stories get started. It was a practice during the confederacy to claim cherokee ancestry to show one's family had 'deep roots in the south' that they were there before the cherokee were removed. Many people pretended to be cherokee and applied for the Guion-Miller payout just to try to steal money meant for cherokees - 2/3rds of the applicants were denied for having 0 proof of actual cherokee ancestry. [We even see lawyers advertising signing up for the Miller roll just to try to get free money.] And the myth even started in some families in the cherokee land lotteries, where the land stolen from us was raffled off, including the house and everything that was left behind when the cherokees were removed. We have seen people whose families just take these things stolen from the cherokee family and adopt them into their own family story, saying that they were cherokee themselves.
If you had some family story about being cherokee and you wanna have proof one way or the other, check out this Facebook group run by expert cherokee genealogists that do research for free. Just please read the rules fully and respect the researchers. They run thousands of people's ancestries a year and their average is only around 0.7% of lines they run actually end up having true cherokee ancestry.

I've talked before about how the way people treat suicide can be unintentionally devastating to the suicidal person, but I don't think I really ever said how to avoid that.
Speaking about suicide in how selfish it "is" ("think about how you'll transfer your pain to your loved ones!") might seem like a way to put logical sense into the suicidal person, but, honestly? It runs the risk of massively increasing their shame and guilt about being suicidal. Suicide is not inherently a revenge fantasy or a way to "get back" at someone's loved ones, so when the suicidal person is treated like a criminal of a "crime" they haven't even committed yet, you can imagine how unhelpful that can become.
Instead, if you want to point out how cherished your person is, frame their relationships as something they can keep fostering.
"Your cat will miss you :(!!!!" becomes "you and your cat seem close, right? I'm sure it's beautiful having a close friend like that!" and maybe include ways that they and their cat are close and meaningful to each other, tailored to that relationship.
That's only one example, but when you shift the focus away from why that person should repent and feel guilty for being suicidal, you can instead focus on why they would live for that reason. See how you can frame that as a positive? Whatever is keeping that person tethered should never be used as a bludgeon, I think, because then you're taking away why they're living, the positivity of why they are here. Whatever they are here for should be remembered often and honoured.
