something that i despise that happens a lot in gay media is where gay character 1 cant come out to their family because of various reasons and gay character 2, who they’re usually in a long term relationship w/ at this point, says some shit like “youre ashamed of me…………..you wont even tell your family about us, about the fact you’re gay…………i dont think i can be in this relationship if you’re going to keep me……a secret…..” and its not called out as being manipulative/abusive as fuck like if someone says something like that to you, you need to get OUT of that relationship immediately
homoyasha
there’s also the trope where gay character’s friend gets mad at the gay character for not telling them they’re gay. like their fucking feelings matter more than the gay person’s safety and comfort.
straight people really do not understand that we would never do/say these kinds of things to each other. ever. we know exactly how much these things hurt.
#there was an article a while back#in the only finnish-language glbtq paper i know (that's now a supplement to another paper but anyway)#that literally was all '''well IIII PERSONALLY could NEVER be in a relationship with a CLOSETCASE OMG EW GOSH'''#like#w h a t#stopped reading after that#because holy fucking shit what#we're a tiny conservative country with a itty-bitty liberal bubble in helsinki and like pockets of queerness in bigger cities#is everyone safe enough to come out??? D'YOU THINK????????!!??#jesus#anyway#this attitude is so fucking daAJsdlkajsdlkajsdjalsd

buzzfeed apparently only just realised that there are languages other than english
These strange indecipherable symbols on Ikea products are apparently actually ‘Swedish’ according to several noted academics who have spent decades studying Ikea

Tove Jansson and lover and collaborator Tuulikki Pietilä on their tiny rocky island of Klovharu where they spent their summers over many decades, 1955.
i remember when this was always framed as ‘Jansson and her friend’ everywhere: in finnish media, my school books etc. (because she was the moomin lady, she had to be mentioned in our lit/finnish lessons)
like
some gal pals, living together for forty years, just friendship things~

Last week, a barrier that cotained toxic fluids broke in Brazil taking these fluids to one of the most important rivers we have here (Rio Doce). It formed a toxic mud and took over cities nearby, destroying them and killing people. This mud contains metals such as mercury, lead, barium, copper, among others. It’s said there is mud enough to fulfill 20 thousand olympic pools. This river is now officially dead, forever. The whole ecosystem of the area is destroyed. Animals are dead and some species might be extint. The mud keeps going through the river’s course and it’s said it’s gonna get to the seacost, also destroying that area. Another barrier is starting to break and it is 5 times bigger than the first one, which means the damage will be bigger. Cities nearby, such as Governador Valadares, ran out of water system. Mariana, another city, is also going through a hard time. Other cities are said to be destroyed forever. The biggest problem of all is that Brazilian media won’t talk about it. This huge ambiental crime is under Vale’s responsability. Vale is a multinational private mining corporation and they have a huge power over media. Regular brazilian citizenships have no idea of how huge the situation is, as the media makes it seem like it was just a little accident. People are dying, people are suffering, a whole ecossystem is dead. This is the largest ambiental accident in the history of Brazil. We need help to show the world what our media don’t want our people to know.
Guys, we need help. Please, reblog.
If you don’t believe, just see this.
sans-vertigo
BHP, one of the mining companies responsible, has provided tanks and trucks to help save any surviving aquatic life. Honestly I don’t think many species will be saved, and their fines are far too small for something of this magnitude.

GI marries Korean woman, leaves her debt-ridden to return to wife in America
She thought she had met the man of her dreams: a clean-cut, square-jawed US Army sergeant from New York who donned a traditional South Korean tunic for their flower-bedecked wedding.
Instead, Rachel Lee, 43, of Uijeongbu, near Seoul, has been left with a nullified marriage, $50,000 in credit-card debt and a broken heart — because her “husband,” Army Master Sgt. Scott Fuller, 40, already had a wife and two kids living in Rockland County.
Fuller is now back in that New City home with his original wife, Marianne, and their daughter, 6, and son, 4.
And Lee, a teacher, remains a half a world away, devastated.
“It has been very, very tough for me,” she told The Post Thursday in a phone call from South Korea.
“Quite honestly, I do feel suicidal,” she said through a translator.
“She was head over heels,” said Howard Myerowitz, a lawyer Lee retained through a Fort Lee, NJ, firm specializing in Korean issues.
It was Lee’s second marriage, and, as far as she knew, her husband’s first. But it unraveled within months, when Fuller asked his new bride for help reformatting his cellphone so he could sell it — and she discovered loving “happy anniversary” e-mails he had just sent to Wife No. 1.
Lee called local authorities and filed a complaint for forgery. Fuller was convicted in a Korean trial court and sentenced to eight months in prison on Oct. 31, 2014, her lawyer said. But Army officials quietly reassigned Fuller to Fort Drum in upstate Jefferson County.
They have declined to prosecute Fuller for bigamy or fraud, even though Fuller had kept up his ruse through a trail of allegedly bogus paperwork, her lawyers allege.
That includes a premarital certification on US Embassy letterhead that Fuller presented to South Korean officials, attesting he was single. It also includes a New York state judgment of divorce — claiming he and Marianne had divorced — that Fuller submitted to a Korean court. Copies of both documents were provided to The Post by lawyers in the US.
Myerowitz is seeking restitution of the $50,000 that Lee says Fuller owes her. Officials at Fort Drum did not return messages seeking comment, and Fuller could not be reached by e-mail or at his home.
“She was never officially married to him,” Marianne Fuller railed to a Post reporter.
Myerowitz said: “It’s a horrific story . . . This is something that goes on with our troops all over the world.”
This is racist and predatory.
A white man specifically picked an Asian woman to screw over
Because of the empathy gap.
White people do shit to people of color and feel NOTHING when they do it cause we’re not human to them.
I hope Rachel Lee can rebuild.
So the US Embassy helped him too?

ngl i was not expecting that
well, fuck. nothing like watching a 15+ year friendship explode due to one of them turning out to be a molesting, gaslighting asshole.
and the worst thing is feeling like i could've done something sooner, or realised something sooner, but didn't, because my friend the victim was taught to not cause a fuss.
