beto being elected would be huge for texas. as someone from there, lemme tell you, he’s someone the state sorely needs. texas is in desperate need of a democrat and Beto is our best bet. in recent polls, cruz was shown to be ahead, but not by much. cruz. cannot. win.
there are ways you can help! if you live in Texas, you can sign up to volunteer. you can volunteer to do things such as send texts, emails, knock on doors. typical campaign stuff.
if you don’t live in Texas, you can donate. you don’t have to live in the state to donate. donating is one of the best ways you can support him because it funds his campaign! as mentioned above, he doesn’t take PAC money. he is 100% grassroots campaign, funded by people, for people.
i’m going to reiterate this. any us citizen* can donate. any. doesn’t matter where you live in the united states. so, I urge. if you don’t live in texas, donate. the average donation amount is $35, but any amount will help.
*if you don’t live in the united states/aren’t a citizen, legally you cannot donate. i don’t make the rules guys.
if you can’t donate, please reblog this so others can see it. people can’t vote in midterms if they don’t know who their nominees are.
this midterm election is crucial. getting Beto into the senate is crucial. reblog or donate!
To the guy next to me on the train who got too hyped composing a song on garage band and air-drummed so hard that he punched me in the tit: please include me in ur grammy acceptance speech
honestly women should collectively just disagree to argue with men because every “polite discussion” a man has ever initiated with me has shown me that this is merely a tool they use to uplift their own egos and express their narcissism. I wont elaborate because its tiring and literally every woman knows what im talking about, as women in discussion we serve as a tool for men to fill their egos. Eventhough we make equal (and more often much better) points and arguments, they scream over us with no place for us to scream back because then we have lost (an angry woman has lost but an angry man has the right to feel whatever hes feeling). Anyways i wish not to speak to a man ever again in my life and i will not elaborate, ever, thank you so much.
We think history is so far removed from us, but sometimes I’m reminded how very close we are to each other on the timeline.
My paternal grandfather was born in 1906 (I have older parents). He and my grandmother came through Ellis Island.
My vocal coach’s grandparents survived the 1906 San Fransisco earthquake and fire.
My great-grandfather lived to the age of 106. He often spoke of how strongly he remembered his nursemaid’s taffeta skirts rustling as she walked when he was a child. He was born in the 1870s. My grandmother recorded him on video in the 1980s talking about those Victorian bustle skirts he grew up with.
On my mother’s side, we tracked down a marriage record for her 17th-century English ancestors, their signatures still crystal-clear and confident on the yellowed parchment. The church where they were married still stands in London.
Samuel J. Seymour was born in 1860 and at age five, he witnessed the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Almost 100 years later, at age 96, he went on live television and recounted his firsthand account of the death of the president. You can watch the interview here.
The last survivor of the sinking of the Titanic, Millvina Dean, died in 2009.
The oldest person ever, Jeanne Calment, lived to age 122. She died in 1997 after recording a pop album, the same year The Spice Girls were topping the charts; but she remembered that as a child, Vincent Van Gogh once visited her father’s paint shop.
It’s easy to think of history as abstract, black and white, theoretical. But do some digging–you’ll probably find that it’s within arm’s reach.
Dude i got through all these but that last one fuck me up
I was about to get kind of upset untill I finished it to the end. Its so true though.
I swear I’ve reblogged this before.
READ THE WHOLE THING
The look of pain in his eyes at the end
Wow
I was in tears by the end 😦
This ruined me..
“I got an erection from her stimulating me… and the fear” there we go. HE’S SAYING THE THING THAT IS SO FREAKING TRUE AGH. fun fact: fear leads to a release of adrenaline which results in blood racing and also sometimes erections. I don’t entirely know the science of it but basically my point is just because a man has an erection does not mean he is enjoying himself or is even remotely turned on tbh. Our culture has to stop saying things like “he enjoyed it, he had an erection”
