Honest and intelligent person would never call America a leader of the free world.

When my grandparents were 13 queer was a whispered slur and it was unthinkable to be gay, let alone trans. It was just assumed you weren’t.

When my dad was 13 being gay was something you talked about behind closed doors. It was hilarious. It was frowned upon. My dad was assumed to be gay and somehow less of a man because he liked theatre.

When I was 13 I had just learned what it meant to be gay. I had just learned what transgender was. I was scared and lost. It felt like there was nothing for me. There was no proof I wasn’t alone.

My brother is turning 13 soon and he knows about most sexual orientations and has an older sibling that is out as trans/nb. He is openly against homophobia and talking about it with his friends isn’t taboo. He watches cartoons with background gay couples and thinks nothing of it. One of his favorite book characters is genderfluid.

We still have a long way to go, but I think you gotta admit, that is progress.

Trump just made an executive order that allows the Treasury and Department of Defense able to declare martial law. So when the next terrorist attack happens on American soil and they use it to put Muslims in concentration camps don’t say we didn’t freaking warn you.

Okay, show of hands-

How many people by now have no idea that eating more fruits and vegetables, lean protein, and drinking plenty of (unpolluted) water is better for you than processed food?

I know it. Everyone knows it.

What these arrogant shits who keep aiming to “teach low income people” is not something we don’t know. 

If you want to “teach” me something about food then teach me how to make $30 a week for three people stretch without processed meals.  

Or how about you stop assuming we are ignorant of the fact that fresh foods are better for us than hamburger helper and look at the root of WHY we have to buy the shit.

Once again, it’s just easier to assume ignorance and laziness than it is to apply any critical thinking or empathy.

there’s a chinese exchange student in my composition class and we were being presented something about how you can use brackets to signify translation and there was chinese text on the screen and the prof said to him “what does that say?” and he deadpanned “i can’t speak chinese” and everyone sat there in dumbfounded silence and then the presenter clicked to show that the text literally said “i can’t speak chinese” with the most shit-eating grin on his face

Do you have any headcannon about Drew being one of the seven,and Piper didn't even show up? Drew was so under/misused. Besides,if Luke could redeem himself after betrayal,manipulation,murder etc.,why couldn't Drew Tanaka redeem herself after bullying? She could be a really interesting character,just like Luke (my male fave). What I really hated was how she was humiliated by Piper. Drew had experience as a demigod,fought a war,knew how to use her powers;and Piper barely knew how to charmspeak.

like…… *lays down on the floor and cries* because like… like… you just.. you just solved my problem….. i’ve been looking for the seventh member of the seven for so long now,,,,, because my ideal seven doesn’t include percabeth and it does include reyna but not nico so. wow. WOW. liste n listenlisten listenes LISTEn

drew and piper are both part of the seven

instead of drew dropping out of the story and being used as a stepping stone for piper’s development, it’s a trope subversion, because piper fully expects drew to just piss off and leave but instead, it turns out that drew has a future and a destiny just like everyone else

percy doesn’t go missing in this au, it’s just jason

okay make drew like an actual character you know, like piper hates her and she can’t fathom why everyone likes her

but like drew has made really good friends with nico (they’re gay) and she’s very popular and respected at camp and the rest of the cabin still loves drew and listens to her even once piper is the counselor, and mitchell and lacy explain that she’s just been having a rough time since the war and they know she’s better than this and piper’s like okay t h E FUCK

festus refuses to take off to new rome and leo is flipping out because there’s nothing wrong with him and then finally festus just says “Drew.” and refuses to do anything else.

piper is so angry asdklf;a

they have a meeting that percy and annabeth stop by for and piper learns damn quick that their word goes a long way here, and they’re both like, “oh, yeah, definitely take drew with you. she’ll be an excellent asset for diplomacy. why are we even debating this?”

piper looks at annabeth like mmmmm watcha say

much to piper’s chagrin, drew really is a good diplomat

okay ok a y sibling duo on the argo ii that’s all i’ve ever wanted

also drew saving the crew from chrysoar and the pirates the same way percy did

imagine drew being like “OH NO FRANK IS TURNING INTO A CRAZY DOLPHIN” and giving him this like scathing look and making an exasperated hand motion with her eyes all wide and annoyed like wow this image is so clear in my head

instead of piper singing a lullaby that takes like virtually no effort gaea proves to be a truly powerful enemy just like she was built up to be, and piper needs drew’s help

oh my god okay and drew and piper not getting along but they both put up with a fuckton of sexism and racism and will defend each other ruthlessly when they see it, they both claim they don’t care about the other but they’ll never stand for sexism or racism targeted against anyone

everyone gradually learning to love drew and piper feeling betrayed and frustrated

like, “leo, not you too!!!!!” “listen pipes, have you ever heard her impression of morgan freeman”

drew makes such a fantastic addition to the team leo scene i swear to god….

but they do care about each other more and more

like so much begrudging bonding,

winding up in one of those situations where they’re stuck in a cave alone together or something and have to work together to get out or they have to sit there alone while they wait for people to save them,

during the last battle while piper is stuck battling some huge villain drew comes up from behind her and screams GET YOUR HANDS OFF!!! MY!!!! SISTER!!!!!

i’m gonn a c r y

okay okay okay and instead of piper and drew learning to fight because they feel useless, they work within their strengths

piper breaking down because she feels useless and she’s never going to be able to fight like the rest of them and she doesn’t have any training—

and drew interrupting her in a very matter of fact, very Drewlike way like, “listen, fuck them. we’re different. we get shit done differently, but we get shit done. and i, for one, am not going to beat myself up trying to be like them, because i’m awesome too.”

D R E W A N D R E Y N A

lol piper being pissed off because she’s stuck on a ship with two girls who tried to make a pass at her boyfriend and then it turns out they’re both lesbians, and for each other, no less

how bout we cut down on the angst and don’t make anyone go into tartarus, they charmspeak the doors closed or some shit i dont know and they seal gaea inside

so hazel, frank, leo, jason, piper, reyna, and drew answer the call, jason and leo use their storm and fire powers to push gaea’s army back, and the romans and the greeks really do bear arms to the doors of death and they wind up pushing gaea and her army inside and then piper and drew charmspeak the doors closed,

i don’t know about the oath to keep with final breath but i’m kinda feeling some Unkillable Gays trope where reyna comes back to life because drew insists on it tbh

if piper can do it drew can do it like come on,

what a pure au

We know of today’s movement because of social media/press. Back then they were still effective WITHOUT it. Phenomenal.

Some advice for dressmakers:

1. Pockets are a thing. 2. Breasts are a thing.

Leave room in your design for both.

The marauders as things my friends have said too loudly in public

James: Why do you think nobody else hangs out with us?

Sirius: It’s all the gay. It repels the weak.

*gets something wrong in a quiz*

Remus: THAT. IS. A. LIE!!! This quiz is lying, it’s corrupt, it’s… it’s homophobic. I am sueing this quiz.

***

James: Hey, watcha thinking about?

Peter: How powerful I feel when I lure bugs in with my light and then destroy them with big spray. Their tiny little lives are mine and they are helpless against me.

James:

James: Okay buddy.

James: Planes can fly because they’re so far away from the earth that gravity doesn’t apply to them anymore.

Remus: That’s not… true….

James: No it totally is. My dad told me when I was five.

Remus: And you’ve believed him this entire time?

James: Uh, duh.

Remus: Then how do they launch?

James:

James: That lying son of a bitch.

Has anyone else noticed how, when you have a chronic condition of some kind, that there’s always the basic assumption from people around you that you’re not already doing everything you can?

there’s something pretty naive about simply thinking that finn just left his agency because his agent was accused of sexual assault. it’s naive when you don’t know that the people who accused the agent in the first place were men and some even underage at the time of the assault. and that’s what’s been bothering me so much about all those tweets and posts about how brave he is for standing up for women because it’s not considering that there were no women included in these claims. this is about children in hollywood. they are literally the easiest target in those situations, these men easily manipulate children make them think what they’re doing is normal and convince them to keep things in secret. please, understand that finn dropping his agent wasn’t just a statement, he (and his family, i suppose) literally did this for his own safety. he is a kid in hollywood and his agent was accused of sexually assaulting boys (around his age). 

when talking about sexual assault claims in hollywood PLEASE bring up children, include children in this conversation. kids are the most vulnerable, they don’t get to choose for themselves.
