Harry Crouch’s San Diego office is a study in male outrage. The shelves are stacked with books entitled Making Monsters: False Memories, Psychotherapy and Sexual Hysteria, Legalising Misandry and Hotsy Totsy FemiNazi, badges – “California is Sexist & Hateful Against Men” – adorn the walls, and a bumper sticker on the back of the door reads: “Don’t be THAT girl: embarrassed about a hook-up? Angry at a boyfriend? Willing to destroy a life?”
My boyfriend and I were downtown and he saw fresh sunflowers, which is his best friend’s favorite flower, and he not only bought one for him but had me drive him to his best friends house so he could surprise him with it and I just think this is the type of male friendship that should be normalized
All the comments like “he’s cheating on you sis” and “he’s probably gay” like???
No???
It’s completely okay for a man to give another man a flower as a symbol of friendship and honestly I’d love it if that were a more common practice because it would mean fewer men were subject to toxic masculinity and more men were open to expressing their feelings in healthy, positive ways
I dont wanna be that guy bc its awesome that lesbians love hozier but Nina Cried Power is pretty specifically abt civil rights especially in refference to the black civil rights movement like literally its in the title referring to Nina Simone and Frankly if this site wasnt so overrun by white gays making memes abt themselves theres no way that would be so overlooked lol
this is a perfect articulation of whats been bothering me about tumblrs response to this song
in Nina Cried Power, hozier worked very closely with mavis staples who is featured in the track. he said even before the song was anything, at its fetal stages he wanted her input and direction to make this song. he specifically sought out to make a soul/blues homage to black protest musicians who used their music for activism, and he says the names of several of these artists on the track, and describes the song as a “thank you note” to them
so while its totally valid to feel empowered by the song and relate it to your own oppression, yall ignoring that this song is made not only as a thank you note but also as a message of empowerment to keep fighting the good fight as it relates specifically to black people and the civil rights movement.
the message of the song is completely unavoidable as half the song lists people like nina simone, mavis staples, james brown, billie holiday and several more. like the song is VERY in your face about what it means and who its dedicated to, so to see white gays totally ignoring that and acting like this EP was made for us is very disheartening.
This is from the forecast discussion of Major Hurricane Florence from this afternoon. As a meteorologist, when I saw this, my heart sank. They don’t use wording like this for every storm.
Florence is going to be a devastating. There will be huge amounts of flooding, both from inland rain and from costal storm surge. Winds are going to be some of the strongest you can get from a hurricane. People within the path of this storm could lose everything.
If you know anyone who lives on the North or South Carolina coast, tell them that if there’s an evacuation ordered, they need to get the hell out. Do not take chances with this one.
god im just thinking about how much going to public school in the MCU would’ve made me hate captain america. every time i got caught giving some bitch the finger or writing on bathroom walls or ditching class or stealing books from the library cause i got a fine or what have you, and then they gave me lunch detention or ISS and i sat in that dumbass eraser-smelling room and im in My Chair (the chair i always sit in and yell at anyone else who tries to take it), fuming, arms crossed, full of teen angst and hating everyone around me, and AGAIN had to watch this stupid fucking video ive already seen so many times that i know it by heart and every word grates on my eardrums and i’d just see this fuckin familiar face
and i would be ready to LOSE MY SHIT
Villain Origin Story
god imagine Steve giving Peter his Captain America is Disappointed in You face/lecture over something dumb and Peter just fucking dissociating and zoning back in to “Peter! Are you even listening to me???” and looking him in the eye and being like “I’m completely immune at this point. You can’t even touch me.” and walking the fuck away
canon.
the real reason why Peter agreed to fight cap at the airport
Something that always gives me witchy vibes is that feeling of autumn before it’s there. Like when it’s still in the 70s to 80s, but you can smell it in the air. You can feel it in the depths of the woods.
