Anonymous asked: As someone diagnosed with a mental illness, if you've tried to open up to your family about it and they completely ignore it as if it's not real, how would you go about the situation after that?

You hide in your room and play the Sims where you control everything and everyone loves you and you are prefect and you never leave the house just stay in the Sims you will be happy there I promise.
We don’t need European fairy tales retold with dark-skinned characters
We need non-European fairy tales being told
Race-bending isn’t the answer here
Realizing that there are children who have non-European heritages and cultures who need their own stories being given representation is the answer

Okay according to that Bloomberg News article, which is from 2012 but still relevant:
The cost of claims is forecast to rise to $815 million by 2016, more than the city pays to run the Parks and Recreation Department, according to budget documents.
WE PAY BILLIONS FOR POLICE BRUTALITY

some helpful reminders about sex workers ♥
If sex workers aren’t selling their bodies, what are they selling?
their time, the sexual experience that they’re having/creating, and the products that they create.
sex workers sell a service. Unless they’re selling their own kidneys on the black market, saying that sex workers sell their bodies makes no sense at all.
But…aren’t ppl paying sex workers for…sex..? I don’t understand your logic
if you think having sex with someone automatically means you own their body, i feel so bad for anyone you’ve ever slept with.
THANK YOU

I’ve known people where their families didn’t have a lot of money, or even a little. Their school lunches where their only meals in the day. Think about that. They voted to take away their only meal.
I guess feeding the lives you save is too hard.

A Glasgow nightclub has installed a two-way mirror which allows male revellers in private booths to spy on unsuspecting women as they visit the toilet! With no notification or signage anywhere in the venue many female club goers have been left feeling embarrassed and used. Although they do briefly show the mirrors in a promo video, the club has been quickly deleting comments and posts on their social media from club goers trying to alert others to the situation. This is pretty much illegal and hugley violates privacy. Thank you The Shimmy Club for giving us a shiny, new, creative and cool take on objectification.
article herei’m never leaving my house again, this world is just too fucked up.
WHAT!?
gross gross gross gross gross
Good morning disgusting.
Remember ladies:
- “No space, leave the place” (fingernail test)
- A two way mirror must be set INTO the wall, not placed on top of it.
- If you rap/knock against the mirror, one installed onto a wall (a normal mirror) will make a dull sound, because there’s something behind it. A two-way will have more reverberation.
- Use the flashlight on your phone to shine on the mirror, if it’s a two-way, you’ll be able to see into the other room.
- You can also shield your eyes and see in if you lean up against the glass.
- The room being viewed will have to be brightly lit (10x brighter than the room looking in), so if you’re in a typical dimly lit club bathroom, you’re ok.
boosting the fuck out of this
They have this in Continental Midtown in Philly, it’s fucking creepy and not cool at all
the most obvious solution i can think of is to break that motherfucker. what are they going to do? sue you for breaking something they shouldnt have had?
That’s fucking disgusting.
Hey, fellas. You ever feel like you have to check if you’re standing in front of a two-way mirror? Women do.
This needs to be known

I miss my family.
a dude came into work looking for vitamin d drops for his newborn so I grabbed the cheapest ones off the shelf (which happened to be Dora the Explorer brand, they were on sale and it was a sweet deal???) and he was like “Um excuse me could I have another brand? my child’s a boy.” like okay buddy i was just trying to save you $5, didn’t mean to threaten your hours-old newborn child’s masculinity omfg

CHARACTER DEVELOPEMENT
And you know the best thing about this movie is they could have made Felix be the nice guy, be the understanding guy, the only guy who’s kind to Ralph, but they make him just as prejudiced as the other game characters. He wasn’t mean to Ralph per say, but he wasn’t nice either, and definitely didn’t want to get involved with the trouble that followed Ralph around.
It’s only after Felix gets treated badly himself that he starts looking at how Ralph is treated by others, how Ralph is treated by him and changes his attitude.
Because that’s the thing, you don’t have to be the bad guy to be prejudiced. Sometimes you can be the nice guy who doesn’t do anything for or against, and sometimes that’s just as bad.
This movie. Ugh.

A friend of mine got upset with me for the way I spoke to his girlfriend the other day. The thing is, someone had asked me a direct question, and she interrupted me before I could answer. In the most polite way possible, I pointed out that /I/ had been asked the question, and she had given me no time to respond before interjecting. Apparently that’s where shit went south. I recognize both of their rights to voice their opinions, but… Really? I mean, she didn’t respect me enough to allow me to answer a question about my opinions, and he got angry that I informed his girlfriend that she had rudely interrupted me. Is my take on manners askew, or?? Did it magically become polite to interrupt people? And he had the nerve to tell me that he didn’t like the way I spoke to her. WELL I DIDN’T APPRECIATE HER ESSENTIALLY SHOWING THAT SHE DOESN’T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT WHAT I’M SAYING BECAUSE CLEARLY WHAT SHE HAS TO SAY IS WAY MORE IMPORTANT THAN LETTING ME FINISH.
he needs those parts for his space ship
he’s going to otter space
