the kind of gay representation i want from marvel is simple. i want to hear a grindr noise from bucky’s phone while he and sam are staking a place out and sam is like come ON dude

spiritsflame

this and the stakeout is in the middle of absolutely nowhere. Bucky pulls out his phone like he’s about to swipe right on Greg-the-Henchman, mostly to fuck with Sam.

Meanwhile, Greg-the-Henchman, showing off this hot match he just made and his buddy Jake-the-Henchman, who is more up to date on the briefings, just “...Is that the winter soldier.’

and there is a single moment. before they both remember that grindr is proximity based. 

“Oh FUCK we gotta GO!”

Folks seriously be sleepin on the value of Bacon Bits. Probably cuz y'all thinking of those nasty “imitation bacon bits” that your grandma kept in the spice cabinet that were basically glorified soy powder and smoked paprika with way too much salt. No, I’m talking about real bacon crumbles. I hate biting into a sandwich or wrap or someshit and the whole slice of bacon comes with that one bite. Nah, take those same two bacon slices and chop em up, then put them where they’re going. But that’s too many steps yo. Just get you a bag of real bacon bits, keep em in the fridge and when you need a splash of bacony goodness, you’re ready to go. Bonus points if you toss a handful in a hot skillet for five minutes.


Brought to you by my lame ass sitting here eating eggs and rice with bacon bits, sesame seeds and garlic.

It’s not that I wouldn’t follow a dog into the woods to go on an adventure it’s just that I think this is the sort of trail that leads to being on a true crime podcast.

am I the only one who does not expect to live past 30. like that’s not even in the plans

fullyfunctionalminiaturebeehive

Not to but in, but I didn't expect or plan to live past 19. Then, because someone I knew in high school killed himself and I saw first hand what that did to people, I decided to make it through college, which would give me time to drive people away so I could die without hurting anyone after graduation.

I'm 34 now. It's nice.

At no point did I plan to be 34. But things kept happening - cats, people, HRT, cats, antidepressants, better jobs, cats. My life still has no overarching ~plan~, I have no ~~~~dreeaaaaammmmssss~~~~, I have no ~~~~~goooaaaallllssssss~~~~.

Someday, I want to be a brewer, and that's it.

And it's fine! It is, in fact, fan-fuckin-tastic!

Because Plans and Goals and Dreams are not necessary to quality of life! You don't need to plan to live past 30. You just need to find the things that are worth hanging on for and enjoy the hell out of them, as stubbornly as you can, and they'll multiply, and someday you too will be 34 and the future will be a subject of curiosity.

That's what it takes, really, is curiosity. Maybe you'll meet someone with a hamper full of puppies. Who knows!

tenasilvertear

Oh, big same did not expect to make it past high school, but here I am at 40!! Forty!!

You uh, don't need a big plan or a dream job or anything. I mean, I guess it helps to have goals? I don't really have any? I think it's kinda A Depression thing.

okamikodomo

I am 34, and I still struggle with not wanting to go any further. Still wonder if I will make it to 40. But the thing is… even if you are where I am, mid thirties and still struggling, that’s ok too. Recovery is a long journey and it is difficult and different for everyone. Keep finding reasons to hold on. I got a puppy, with the logic that not only can I train her to be a service dog, but she will also give me anywhere from 12 to 16 years of reasons to stick around. Because you can explain to people how death works. You can’t explain to a dog why Mommy isn’t coming back.

Wondering how the word gypsy is a racial slur? Why are you referring to it as the G word when it literally means a free spirited traveller. What is so offensive about that?

takingbackourculture answered:

Let me tell you a story, ignorant one. 

Once upon a time, there were a group of people migrating from northern India and Pakistan after the invasion “of the Persian Muslims who have since settled in Trukey, all of Europe, and the Americas These people are called the Rromani.” (x)

Once the pale bird feces people of Europe came into contact with the Rromani, they believed them to hail from Egypt, thus calling them Gypsies. 

Now about what disgusting white people like you have been trying to turn this racial slur into. There is nothing about being a free spirited traveller if you’re called such a word. What is up with white people romanticizing everything to make it seem all nice and rainbows for them?

“They were not nomadic by choice. They moved around because they had to… they were persecuted everywhere they went, and still are, to this day. They were persecuted alongside the Jews in the Holocaust – the Roma & Sinti”. They were forced to have this sort of nomadic lifestyle because “no country wanted them there”. (x)

Let’s not forget these lovely things Rromani people did and still go through because of who they are:

  • “Forced sterilization (yes, it is still happening)
  • Eviction
  • Harassment (by law enforcement as well as civilians)
  • Fingerprinting (this is happening in Italy right now – all Romani people are being fingerprinted, simply because our race is considered ‘criminal’)
  • Concentration camps
  • Starvation
  • Exclusion from public schools and welfare programs
  • Bombings (it is not uncommon in places like the Czech Republic for people to throw molotov cocktails into the windows of Romani homes)” (x)

“First and foremost: THE WORD “GYPSY” IS AN ETHNIC SLUR. It is a pejorative. It is an exonym that is hurtful and offensive. You need to accept this, period.

We are NOT your halloween costume. We are NOT your flowy skirt. We are NOT your fashion sense. We are NOT your wanderlust. We are NOT ‘boho.’

Gypsy is not fashion. Gypsy is not traveling. Gypsy is not a headband or a costume, or boho, or a long skirt.

Gypsy is a hurtful ethnic slur used to refer to the Romani people.

We cannot seem to emphasize this enough to people. This word is a slur. It was created to be a slur. Its meaning does not change. It will always be a slur. It will always be offensive.

‘The word is not yours. It’s ours. We can use it as we see fit. You cannot.’ - biggadjeworld 

We are a real people, with traditions, culture, and colorful heritage that spans centuries.” (x)

The “x”s in the post refer to sources you can click on and educate yourself with. On those pages, there are more links to become familiar to this slur and the Rromani people.

Also, don’t forget to stop by thisisnotromani!

This is some shit that the witchcraft and neopagan communities really need to get straight. You are not a “gypsy” witch, that does not make you mystical, you are not special, you are just racist. V sorry.

queerwitchcraft

I REALLLYYY need everyone to read this at least three times so there is no chance for confusion.

This is important! In America we are not used to hearing it as a slur, so it can be hard for us to realize it’s one if we don’t run into it or seek it out. Fly across the pond and say it you will get VERY different responses. If you want replacement words for free spirit and bohemian aesthetic, just use “free spirit” or “hippie” or even “flower child” honestly. Hippie Witch sounds more catchy anyway 🌻

stitchcraftwitchery

Never appropriate someone’s culture for the sake of ‘aesthetic’!!! Learn the history of the words you use. Respect people. Say what you mean (and if you use these slurs, you MEAN to be racist, no two ways about it!). If “free spirited traveler” appeals to you there are suggestions above- other suggestions:

Traveling witch, footloose, wanderlust, free-wheeling, free lance, roaming, nomadic, mugwump, beatnik, avant-garde, offbeat, alternative, idiosyncratic, arty, outlandish, backpacking, bird of passage, excursionist, explorer, gadabout, globetrotter, landloper, adventurer, nonjuror (like conjuror!), pereginator, peripatetic, rootless, scatterling

When we’re new to adulthood, it doesn’t immediately occur to all of us that you’re almost always allowed to leave a situation, because growing up we’re forced to stay in situations until someone dismisses us and/or takes us home, or if we do leave on our own accord there’s someone waiting at home to say “we don’t quit in this family!” Boring party? You can leave. You don’t like the lecture? You can walk out. New doctor not working out? You can end the appointment, you don’t need to wait for them to dismiss you. Bad date? You can just go home. Leaving a situation prematurely might have consequences, but unless you’re under arrest or serving prison time, it’s pretty much always allowed.

A while back, I called for a Lyft ride home from the airport. The lyft pulled up, he called my name, and I opened the door and climbed in. While I was climbing in he was getting out, which I didn’t realize until he opened the back door on the other side.

Him: I’ll put your bag in the trunk.
Me: Oh, there’s no need. 
Him: I’ll just put it back there. 
Me: I prefer to keep my bag with me.

I was also still holding onto it so he couldn’t just grab it, and when I said “I prefer to keep it with me” this cloud of rage crossed his face.

Him: Then get out. 
Me: Excuse me?
Him: Get out, I don’t want your bag fucking up my upholstery.

Now, this was a weekender – essentially an upscale duffle bag. Small, almost brand new, easily fitting on the middle-seat beside me. I don’t know if he was just really intense about his upholstery or if he was running some kind of scam, but either way I now DEFINITELY was not going to let him separate me from my bag.

So I said “Okay,” and I picked up my bag and got out, took out my phone, and cancelled him as my driver.

He looked at me like I’d grown a second head. There was this moment of total disconnect in his face, and then he started ranting about how someone had damaged his upholstery and they needed to put their bags in the back and he wasn’t going to have me getting his upholstery dirty. 

I said, “I’m out of your car. Drive on, I’ll get another,” and held up my phone.

This had clearly never happened before – it looked like plenty of people had thought “This guy is crazy” but went the “so I’d better let him do what he wants” route instead of “so I’m getting out of his car”. Which is totally normal! We’re socialized to prioritize “not making a scene” over personal safety. But when you do call that bluff, when you defy the social convention that the other person is counting on to make you do what they want you to do, they don’t know how to react, which gives you time for a clean getaway. And maybe he thought I was a dickhead but what do I care what an asshole thinks of me? 

Anyway the moral of the story is yes, you should know that you can almost always leave a situation and often it’s in your best interest to do so. 

(Right after I called for another car he picked up a fare using Quick Match or whatever it’s called, peeled out of the Lyft lane, and hit another car well nigh immediately.)
