Calming/Relaxing Music:
I admit I’m not fully sober right now, but listen up:
I just looked over at my cat and realized that she doesn’t give a shit about who’s president. And why doesn’t she give a shit? Because I take care of her.
So here’s what we’re gonna do, we’re all gonna take care of each other. Watch each other’s back, let each other vent, support your friends who are lgbt, black, disabled, muslim, or any of the things that a Trump presidency is hateful towards.
Go fucking vote in 2018, every single House seat is contested in the mid-term. But until then, UNITE, ok? Enough of this clique shit, we’re all fighting the same battle.
We’re gonna take care of each other. We’re gonna make it. And we’re gonna kick ass in the long run.

Hi everyone! This is an illustrated guide I made as part of my co-admining work at The Middle Eastern Feminist on Facebook! It will be published there shortly. The technique that is displayed here is a genuine one used in psychology - I forgot the name and couldn’t find it again so if you know about it, feel free to tell me! Some could say: “Yes but you can use that technique for instances of harassment other than Islamophobic attacks!”, and my reply is: Sure! Please do so, it also works for other “types” of harassment of a lone person in a public space!! However I’m focusing on protecting Muslims here, as they have been very specific targets lately, and as a French Middle Eastern woman, I wanted to try and do something to raise awareness on how to help when such things happen before our eyes - that way one cannot say they “didn’t know what to do”! I’d like to insist on two things: 1) Do not, in any way, interact with the attacker. You must absolutely ignore them and focus entirely on the person being attacked! 2) Please make sure to always respect the wishes of the person you’re helping: whether they want you to leave quickly afterwards, or not! If you’re in a hurry escort them to a place where someone else can take over - call one of their friends, or one of yours, of if they want to, the police. It all depends on how they feel! For my fellow French-speakers: I will translate it in French and post it on my page as soon as I can :) Please don’t hesitate to share this guide as it could push a lot of people to overcome bystander syndrome!! Lots of love and stay safe! PS: I you repost this cartoon of mine on twitter or instagram, please add me in the post so I can see it, with @itsmaeril :)

@astudyinpurpleverse AND I WATCHED EIGHT EPISODES. WE SQUEALED A LOT. EPISODES WERE ENJOYED. MANY GOODIES WERE CONSUMED.
Thus concludes Forever Viewing Party: Part 1.
TBA: FOREVER VIEWING PARTY: PART 2.
STAY TUNED.
I have so many feelings as well now!!! And I can't wait to read all the fic you guys are reccing :))
The essential Forever fanfic reading list
hey guys, which fics do you think are absolute fandom must-reads? I want to crowdsource a list so we can point @astudyinpurpleverse at all the good stuff.
Yes please!! All pairings/ genres accepted! Loving the show so far!!
Forever Viewing Party Part 1: Saturday Sep 10, 3:30pm Pacific
On Saturday September 10, starting around 3:30pm Pacific, me and @astudyinpurpleverse are going to get together armed with food and beverage, and tuck in to watch as many episodes as we can fit in before we become sick of the effort.
(this may be many. I think we both have a high tolerance. AND IT’S HER FIRST TIME SEEING THE SHOW, THIS IS GOING TO BE MAGIC)
There will be liveblogging, and hours of pure emotion streaming forth like an out-of-control Care Bear Stare, because this will be the first time I’ve rewatched the series since it was cancelled. Will @astudyinpurpleverse‘s first viewing of the series be sullied by holding me while I weep continuously? ONLY TIME WILL TELL.
If a Saturday afternoon/evening spent with Henry Morgan and co. sounds like your cup of tea, JOIN IN THE FUN! Watch along at home, reblog gifs, comment on episodes, chat with other fans! Because it doesn’t matter how long it’s been, the answer to the question is always the same:
@holmesianpose, @bookishandi, @noysh, @birdthatlookslikeastick - you want in on this, you know where to find us. We’ll be the ones with the dry eyeballs crying about immortal medical examiners and badass detectives.
I'm so excited for this!! IT WILL BE MAGICAL FOR SURE!!
can everyone take a moment to consider what it would be like if the avengers got pokemon go:
- the day of its release, natasha disappears for a full week and comes back at level 16, with nine different rare pokemon. nobody asks what she did
- clint uses the vents to track pokemon around the tower, and often jumps down into bedrooms at random moments to catch one. sometimes he loses signal, and you can hear him yelling in frustration through the air vents
- tony programs the suit to alert him when there’s a pokemon nearby so he can fly there instantly, and he does the same for rhodey. after three days of this, the rest of the avengers confront them and accuse them of cheating. (”you’re supposed to walk, tony.” “shut it steve you’re just jealous that i got the snorlax before you.”)
- steve catches onto the game lingo surprisingly quick, despite never hearing of pokemon before. he hatches the most eggs.
- one time on a run, sam and steve saw a jigglypuff appear on their grids. that was the only time sam managed to run faster than steve.
- the game won’t count pietro’s steps when he runs fast, so he’s taken to figuring out where the pokemon is and directing wanda and vision (and sometimes clint) to it.
- all the electric-type pokemon show up near thor, so hes become the target of many phones pointing at him. he often thinks theyre taking pictures of him so he smiles, no matter what hes doing.
- bruce has a small army of eevees, despite rarely leaving the lab
- when bucky is taken to the tower, its after the game’s release, so he’s startled when everyone drops what theyre doing and grabs their phones when someone yells “SQUIRTLE.” he thinks its code for something and starts keeping a list of the different pokemon names he hears. it takes three weeks for someone to correct him.
- during a debrief, everyone’s phones vibrates, including fury’s. they all stare at him while he catches a clefairy.
- the real civil war: tony is team valor and steve is team mystic. the tower is a gym, so they constantly battle over it. one morning, everyone wakes up to find that the gym is now a team instinct gym, with a 3000 CP gyrados guarding it, owned by a player with a russian username. tony and steve stop fighting over the gym.
This Village Without Roads Is Straight Out Of A Fairytale Book
The village Giethoorn known as the “Venice of the Netherlands” was founded in 1230 and resembles some of the most beautiful fairytale passages. The stunning oddity contains no roads or modern transportation. With the help of canals and 176 bridges, people are able to navigate through its wonders.
