Studies show that approaching youth with a bystander-intervention model is actually a lot more effective for reducing sexual assault, and it is also more enthusiastically received than programs that bill themselves as anti-rape.

We can tell youth that they are basically “rapists waiting to happen” (anti-rape initiative), or we can tell them that we know they would intervene if they saw harm happening to someone and we want to help empower them to do that (bystander intervention). The kids jump in with both feet for the latter! It was amazing to see children (and young boys in particular) excited to do this work and engage their creativity with it. Also, studies show that not only do they go on to intervene, but they also do not go on to sexually assault people themselves. Bystander intervention also takes the onus off the person being targeted to deter rape and empowers the collective to do something about it. It answers the question in the room when giggling boys are carrying an unconscious young woman up the stairs at a house party, and people are not sure how to respond and are waiting for “someone” to say or do something.

when you’re out at a restaurant or a coffee shop or a target or whatever with your friends and you overhear/eavesdrop the same snippet of some stranger’s conversation, and you look at each other for a second to check that you both heard this stranger say the same weird/funny/baffling thing and just break out in knowing grins and quiet laughter… that’s a love language

Two days ago my husband said "...and he was pissed" and I said "don't say that around the kids!" so he corrected himself to "and he was liquid angry" and I've been laughing since

i dont think the human body should have "limits" i think i should be able to do literally what ever i want at all times with zero consequences. i should be able to work on school and job and socializing literally as much as i want and then once im on break NOT immediately collapse because i've made myself sick. this isn't even the first time this has happened

Ever since I was a little girl I’ve loved information

i’ve never posted on tumblr before i’m scared,,

some post war katniss doodles/thoughts. I thought a lot about katniss getting a hunting dog but in reality I think she’d find an ugly starving little mutt who she couldn’t help but take in. prim took in poor animals, buttercup is a mangy old cat, the goat had health issues. it runs in the family. i think katniss would find a dog who had been abandoned sometime in the war, or never belonged to someone at all
