When Romani people ask you to stop using a widespread slur for them, you stop. I don’t care if it’s your pets name. Change it. I don’t care if it’s your business name, or your friends business name. Change that too. I don’t care if it’s your “identity” because you’re descended from white travelers. Stop. That’s not your word. It’s a violent slur only WE can use for ourselves, born of misinformation and directly resulting in hundreds of thousands of deaths for as far back as the word has existed, right up until present day.

To those of you saying “oh it’s used against white travelers too so they can reclaim it”

No. Absolutely not. That word comes from a slur against ethnic Romani people originating in modern day India because they were believed to be from Egypt. It was used to speak of dark-skinned people as they traveled through the word seeking shelter, food, and hope. Instead they were left to die purely due to racism. Our word is based in active rejection leading to hundreds of thousands of horrific deaths. I don’t CARE that it’s used against white travelers. It’s not. Theirs. To. Use. They weren’t systemically murdered and left to starve and die due to the color of their skin. As a white-passing didicoy, I myself barely feel comfortable using it. How dare you all act as though you can use what is literally a racial slur when you’re white?

@lesenbyan Huge thank you for this point and your allyship.

plot twist: the introverted character who doesn’t like big social gatherings or speaking in front of people is still an introvert by the end of the story because introversion is not a character flaw and it doesn’t need to be overcome 

Look, I’ll go on your stupid adventure, but you better leave me the fuck alone when we get back.

NOT A GOOD EXAMPLE HE WAS SO INTROVERTED HE USED A CURSED OBJECT TO GET AWAY FROM PEOPLE

…. I feel like that almost makes it a BETTER example.

not a GOOD example, but a REALISTIC example

Better healthy than skinny.

Better loved than skinny. 

Better loving than skinny. 

“Skinny” is not and should not be a priority. It is just a characteristic. 

Better healthy than fat

Why would you think this was a wanted, appreciated, or appropriate response? What a rude, gross reply who’s only goal could be to start shit and insult people?

Double standard at its finest

How is it a double standard.

This post was saying, you can be fat and loved and love others. That being skinny isn’t the best thing in the world.

Why do you have to shit in other people’s happiness

Being overweight is also not the best thing in the world. It’s one sided really. Just as people say “well they can’t help it that they are fat” same can go for skinny people. In the past,being fat was the worst thing that could happend to you and they needed to be more accepted that i can agree on, but now the tables have turned and now the hate is on skinny people. Shaming the other to make yourself feel better does not make you the better person. The end~

if you really, honestly think that “the hate is on skinny people” then you need to go back out into the world and open your eyeballs. fat hate is absolutely not in the past.

and by the way, saying that “skinny isn’t better than fat” isn’t shaming anyone. just admit you don’t like fat people and be done with it.

i don’t want another popular post ever again

Can’t you just block it from showing alerts on your dash?

tried that, but i use tumblr mobile a lot too and it was really annoying. so annoying. i was advised by someone to delete the post bc i wouldn’t get notes on it anymore… but we all know that this website works for shit, and now my notifications page is messed up. i only get notifications for a brief time and then they disappear.

(via sale-at-the-maul)

i don’t want another popular post ever again

also my notifications are still Super Fucked Up from that one post about Kermit The Frog, which- god help me- is now over ten thousand notes. so. i’m really not getting notifications at all most of the time. just so you guys know, in case i don’t see a reply to something. 

ok so we took our niece to see Jurassic World, which she already saw once but he wanted to see it,

and then we got Wendy’s and watched Coraline for the first time on netflix, which i didn’t actually know anything about except for Button Eyes. that was it. that was all i knew about the film. and holy shit? it was really good. fucked up! but really good. well made and well written. great music, well acted. we both really enjoyed it. i adored the lil awkward slouchy boy. 

and then, because today was hot as balls and yesterday sucked and we wanted it,

we went to carvel and got softserve ice cream

and we came back and ate it while we watched another thing on netflix we’d never seen. a film called Tale of Tales with Salma Hayek & John C. Reilly, which was an adaptation of three separate fairytale stories woven into one plot. it was SUPER #aesthetic. and fucked up! but enjoyable also. and like, my one complaint is, 

ok this isn’t really a spoiler bc you know in your heart as soon as shit gets started that John C. Reilly’s character is Gonna Die, you know he is, but like. i really wanted to see more of him. i was hoping against hope but i definitely knew he was toast. damn he’s a good actor tho! and i’d love to see more of him in roles like that. i mean, aside from dying really early in the film.

so yeah.

yesterday was rotten but today was good. today makes up for yesterday. we saw three fucked up films today. like, okay. Jurassic World was fucked up in a whole different way than the other two but it was still fucked up

i had no idea grackles were so hated? i’ve never minded them
