when two musicians sing into the same microphone and lean in very close to each other… like omg are you guys gonna kiss now to relieve the homoerotic tension?😳

"We met next day as he had arranged, and inspected the rooms at No. 221B, Baker Street, of which he had spoken at our meeting. They consisted of a couple of comfortable bed-rooms and a single large airy sitting-room, cheerfully furnished, and illuminated by two broad windows."

"The way Daniel sits here with his arm around the back of the sofa, a conspicuously empty, person-shaped space right beside him..."

@speckled-jim

yeah he was just grabbing a snack

@dreamy-jeans137 you’re my sunlight 🌞

So by calling these people “punks” they want to show that they think that pedo Epstein was ok???

Trying to frame pro-Luigi "punks" negatively by sharing that they *checks notes* hate pedophiles is hilarious

there's a room in a hotel in New York City

that shares our fate and deserves our pity

I don't want to remember it all

the promises I made if you just hold on

My brainrot right now

None of my friends watch IWTV and I can’t really explain it to them other than saying “it’s about vampires and it’s really good”

How am I supposed to tell them my favorite ship in the show is a 70yo man and the 514yo vampire who just turned him, they met 50 years before and the vampire tortured the man for 6 days and then erased his memories, and that it’s not confirmed yet but it’s likely they had a torrid affair following this encounter involving bdsm and drugs and addiction to blood and then the vampire would have erased his memories again because when they met again in 2021 the man didn’t recognize him. Oh and both encounters the man was actually here to interview the vampire’s vampire boyfriend. Oh and 50 years ago the man fully intended to screw the boyfriend for drugs. Oh and the boyfriend doesn’t know the 514yo vampire orchestrated his daughter’s murder, which the man exposed thanks to a supernatural secret society. This led to a nasty divorce between the vampires and the old vampire turned the man despite his vow to never turn anyone.

So romantic, right? 🥰

"I don't want to read this" is totally valid.

"This is disgusting to me" is totally valid.

"I don't want to read this because it is disgusting to me" is totally valid.

"I don't think anyone should be allowed to read or write this because it is disgusting to me" is authoritarian.

I've said it before but for newcomers, I will say it again. I fully stand with Palestine and Palestinians. If you're neutral, or you don't care, or you support Israel or you're "free everyone", unfollow me right now. This is not a political topic. Tons of innocent people dying is not a political topic.

Everyone's always saying that they're for making a change but I don't see any change in an account that doesn't stand for humanitarian crisis. Swifties, I'm sorry but y'all post millions of things about Taylor Swift's albums and various tours but can't be bothered to reblog posts about people dying.

1000 is a big number and we know that. Now imagine, 36050+ people dead, 15000+ are children, 80,643 injured, and 10,000 missing.

We all know what to do when genocides happen, it's in the history books. This is going to make it in history books. Stop being ignorant.

Free Palestine and all eyes on Rafah.

I thought that after 8 months all my feelings had gone numb and my fingers on autopilot sharing news and truth with people as the only thing I can reliably do but I saw this posted in stories and started crying.

There are no words to describe the death of a baby. The most fragile beings that you may have once thought everyone wants to protect but turns out some people are so deeply poisoned they'll get real joy from killing them, not just one but by the thousands. Thousands of families who mourned them often before they were killed themselves. Not only killing but making jokes about their death and torn apart bodies as well. A baby that someone carried for 9 months. Sometimes tried to for years to have.

No amount of studying or intellectual thought will even make me understand someone who justifies and excuses this. There is no complexity. There is no nuance. There are not two sides. There is no 'this is war'. Someone killed a baby. Thousands of times.

I doubt at this point there’s any hostages left with the number of people they’ve killed in Palestine and that’s on Netanyahu’s hands. He doesn’t care. Can’t believe some people keep screaming this as if that makes any difference to genocide.

For everyone who keeps saying “wHaT aBoUt ThE hOsTaGeS?!?! ReLeAsE tHe HoStAgEs!!1!”

Not nice when the tables have been turned right

Biden’s State Department in a nutshell.

These murderers are admitting they lied only after the damage has been done and is STILL ongoing, and I am beyond pissed.

“I know I’ve told this story before, but my abusive ex refused to let me take birth control. I was on the pill until he found them in my purse. I went to the Student Health Center—they were completely unhelpful, choosing to lecture me about the importance of safe sex (recommending condoms) instead of actually listening to my problem. Then I went to Planned Parenthood. The Nurse Practitioner took one look at my fading bruises and stopped the exam. She called in the doctor. The doctor came in and simply asked me: “Are you ready to leave him?” When I denied that I was being abused, she didn’t argue with me. She just asked me what I needed. I said I need a birth control method that my boyfriend couldn’t detect. She recommended a few options and we decided on Depo. When I told her that my boyfriend read my emails and listened to my phone messages and was known to follow me, she suggested to do the Depo injections at off hours when the clinic was normally closed. She made a note in my chart and instructed the front desk never to leave messages for me—instead, she programmed her personal cell phone number into my phone under the name “Nora”. She told me she would call me to schedule my appointments; she wouldn’t leave a message, but I should call her back when I was able to. And that was it. No judgment. No lecture. She walked me to the door and told me to call her day or night if I needed anything. That she lived 5 blocks from campus and would come get me. That I wasn’t alone. That she just wanted me to be safe. I never called her to come to my rescue. But I have no doubt that she would have come if I had called. She kept me on Depo for a year, giving me those monthly injections in secret, helping me prevent a desperately unwanted pregnancy. I cannot thank Planned Parenthood enough for the work they do.”

I know I’ve reblogged this before, but it bears re-reblogging (?).  This is how you respond to abuse, this is how you give people control over their bodies/uteruses, this is how you act as a generally non-judgmental and compassionate person.  I love this story so fucking much.

Father Brown as memes and cursed images, part 3

Bonus for Sid x Sullivan shippers

Good. Their coffee is crap anyway and the genocide makes it more bitter.

LETS GOOOO

Absolutely disgusting

10 children a day lose their limbs in Gaza. All hospitals in Gaza are basically barely functioning and the amputations are done in unsanitary conditions and without anesthesia

I see a lot of posts saying "teach boys about consent".

While that is true, a lot of parents will do that and fail to see how their own actions are the problem.

If you've spanked him, he's less likely to understand consent.

If you've forced him to sit on Santa's lap, he's less likely to understand consent.

If you've forced him to give hugs and kisses to family members, he's less likely to understand consent.

If you've grabbed him in order to force him to sit still, he's less likely to understand consent.

If you've labeled him as "too sensitive" for not wanting to be touched, he's less likely to understand consent.

If you've assumed he's okay with something because he technically allowed it even though he felt pressured, he's less likely to understand consent.

If you're only going to criticize his actions but not your own, it won't work.
