#Local News Outlets

You're a lovely man, but I'm looking for someone to sweep me off my feet. You know, whisk me off to a life of adventure. Could that be you?

I know the general consensus is that reading the news is important but I feel like people should consider that some of us do not have access to reliable local media. Like I'm sorry but some of us live in shitholes that are so irredeemable, ignorance is actually better than listening to what the media outlets (all owned by the same people) are lying about today

It sounds like a bigger issue in Springfield, OH is that the haitian immigrants are somehow driving without learning the driving laws and there's been an increase of dangerous crashes

A month ago I was wondering how long I could go without renewing my Costco membership. Then I discovered WinCo. Now I'm pretty sure the answer is "until I move to a place where there are no WinCos."

Opinion on the announcement of a new season of Osomatsu? :0

Casually excited! I had a blast watching the youtube livestream announcement Ichi and Jyushi's voice actors did for it, although it did make me remember that the main reason I like the show as much as I do is because of the VAs. The writing I often have issues with lol

But it always seems like the VAs genuinely get along really well so they have fun recording, and that comes across in the show. That gets me through bits and sketches that I don't otherwise vibe with when that happens

They said they didn't know much about what the new season would be like except that it would be very different to previous versions? Which, I mean, it's not like they had a rigid canon anyway, so sure lol

tbh my main hope is that it motivates me to finish my fics 😂😂😂

The red carpet lasted like what? An hour or something? We need round the clock coverage about the same 10 looks?

I’m literally this close to fighting people at my brothers memorial. One girl said and I quote “I’m not surprised” about his death. So if you don’t hear from me it’s because me and my cousin are in jail for fighting

[femme-objet]

it’s also the same logic that fox news watchers or daily mail readers use when they believe major european cities have been rendered off-limits because of ‘sharia law’. get fed a constant stream of anecdotes, the vast majority of which are bullshit, of supposed islamic violence, until they think it’s a common occurrence

Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley, who from the moment he laid eyes on you, has only ever referred to you as his wife

You, this sweet little thing, running through the halls on base one day when you turn a corner and nearly run headfirst into the Lieutenant, who’s walking alongside Soap

“Oh! Sorry about that, sir.” You told him, never slowing down in your hurried pace as you snuck around his large frame and continued down towards whatever you were evidently late for

The only reason his gaze had followed your retreating form, was that unlike everyone else, you had met in his eyes when you spoke, even smiled warmly up at him

That one smile and he was done for

“Who was tha’?” The sergeant had questioned, seeing Ghost’s attention still fixated on you.

“Think that was my wife.”

“Yer what?!”

Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley, who makes it a point to let everyone know that you are in fact his wife

Well, everyone apart from you apparently

He would certainly never abuse his position as a Lieutenant, but some new recruit had the audacity to whistle at you as you walked by? Well 100 laps around the base don’t exactly run themselves

Another soldier saved you a seat next to him in a briefing? He can enjoy scrubbing toilet seats for the next week in that case

Someone actually had the bollocks to ask you for your phone number? Perfect, he needed a volunteer for demonstrating hand to hand combat to the recruits, medics on standby of course

By the time he properly introduces himself to you for the first time, it’s understood by everyone else around that you are, for all intents and purposes, Mrs Riley

Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley, who listens to you tell him your name in a voice that resembles music to his ears, hardly bothering to remember your last name, seeing as it’ll be changing soon enough anyway

“You can call me anythin’ you want, love.” His deep, gravelly voice had sent shivers down your spine, cheeky smirk widening beneath his mask. “So long as you call me, that is.”

By the end of your first date, (you were sitting alone in the dining hall and he wordlessly joined you what do you mean this isn’t a date) he’s wondering if you’ll insist on a ceremony or if he can sweep you away to the nearest courthouse and make this official, slipping a ring onto you finger and his cock into you

You had laughed when he put his number into your phone and named himself ‘Husband’, certain that the man was only messing with you, some kind of hazing that you apparently weren’t aware Lieutenants played on the new communications hire, but it was only fair seeing as he’d saved your contact under ‘Wife’

Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley, who is over the moon every time you play along, even if he knows you believe you’re only playing

“Ach, thanks Lt. Just what I needed.” Soap said, seeing Ghost’s approaching form enter the common room, holding a steaming cup of tea in each hand

“S’for my wife. Get your own.” The older man gruffly replied, sliding the mug onto the side table next to where you’re curled up on the couch, reading a book

“Aw, thank you honey.” You giggled, smiling up as him with an expression he thinks would taste even sweeter than honey if he were to run his tongue across your upturned lips

“Happy wife, happy life, sergeant.” Ghost shrugged, ignoring the other man’s pout, landing next to you and reaching an arm behind you across the back of the couch

“God, maybe I really should keep you.” You’d laughed, reaching a leg out to dig your socked toes into his muscled thigh, teasing him

Grasping your foot into his large, strong hands, he began massaging it, uncaring that you were only two of the many people in the common room, not when you looked at him like that, smiling together as though you truly were nothing more than a married couple

Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley, who surprised you one day, insisting he needed your help with something crucial off base, and drove you to a local shopping outlet to look at none other than dresses

“Is there some sort of party happening?” You’d questioned, confused out of your mind

“Suppose you could consider it a party.” He’d answered, leading you through the many racks of dresses, you noticed were all, very conveniently, white

“Now while you’re lookin’ through dress sizes,” he’d added, taking your left hand in both of his. “You know your ring size? Got my own shoppin’ to do ‘round here.”

Corporate media is going to corporate media, either locally or nationally...

The idea that not reblogging something / sharing a post to others on different social media sites in general is a genuine moral failing, is INSANE!!! Are all the people who don't use social media (yes, they exist) bad people just cause they can't spread news?

Grow the fuck up and go outside. Not everyone is trying to find out every single thing wrong with the world everyday. It isn't healthy to even attempt to do that either.

I dunno where the hell the whole "IF YOU DON'T KNOW THIS, THIS, AND THAT, YOU'RE TERRIBLE AND DESERVE BAD THINGS TO HAPPEN TO YOU UNLESS YOU SHARE THIS POST" attitude came from, but it makes everything sound like fucking chainmail which is ridiculous. There's better ways to encourage people to share news, like not being a whiny bitch.

someone tell the tumblerinas that you can raise an issue without deliberately guilt-tripping everyone about it

On February 8th, this nonbinary child was violently beaten by three cis girls. The school did not call them an ambulance after the beating was stopped, and they later died in the hospital from head trauma. They have also been deadnamed and misgendered in their obituary and in the news. As the author of the article puts it:

How is that not national news? A 16 year old beaten to death in a public school bathroom? By other students. All these unanswered seemingly obvious questions about what transpired, and how the adults involved acted. That should be every headline. In fact, almost every local outlet covering the story misgender and deadnames Nex, using their same assigned at birth. The indignities pile on. We don’t yet know if Nex’s nonbinary identity is directly tied to this incident. But, my God, it sure matters to me that this would happen to any child. A nonbinary kid assaulted in a girl’s bathroom. That outcome from the narrative of anti-trans rhetoric these past years. Still why wasn’t this story breaking news? It involves a nonbinary student in a public school. And school violence and school police resource officers. It involves the deep fear so many trans youth have shared with me about their schools.
