This is horrible, but please don’t call it the worst mass shooting in US history. Call it the worst mass shooting in recent US history. In 1890 the US army surrounded a group of Lakota and ordered them to surrender their weapons. It ended with at least 300 Lakota dead. 200 of those were women and children.
I feel like asian people are constantly limited (esp. in western cultures) because a lot of us cannot be ourselves without nonasian people either fetishizing us or making fun of us. Asian teenagers, and mainly asian girls, can’t wear their fucking school uniform without western people thinking it’s “sexy” when those people are usually underage. Asian people can’t enjoy cultural foods without condesending people making rude comments like “omg is it dog meat?!?!?!” Asian people’s hard work is brushed off almost always. We can’t even play the characters made to represent us, the roles are always given to a white actor. Don’t get me started on how our languages are always seen as just some cutesy lines and squiggles that are “aesthetic. And people who are Indian, Syrian, Malaysian, Arab, Russian, or from a country that isn’t China/Japan/Korea are ALWAYS excluded when people talk about Asia. I’m sick of that. Asian people deserve to exist without being fetishized or mocked.
If you’re not asian you can reblog
I and some colleagues were talking about how we wish everyone could see the safety videos that our company was showing us, because I don’t think most people understand how traffic works in a truck. So here’s some things we wish everyone on the road knew.
- we’re not kidding about tailgating. If you’re right behind us on a straight highway? Chances are we have NO IDEA you’re there, which means we can’t anticipate any of your movements. Plus slowing down takes multiple downshifts, so we might start decreasing speed way earlier than you expect.
- We’re not kidding about any of our blind spots. WE CAN’T SEE YOU, GUYS.
- That bit about slowing down taking a while? The same goes for when you’re in front of us. Don’t cut off a truck. Oh god, PLEASE don’t cut off a truck. If you cut me off, I’m not irritated, I’m terrified. For YOU. It can take 7 to 9 seconds for us to stop. DON’T CUT OFF TRUCKS.
- Before you get mad about how slow we’re going on the highway, keep in mind that many companies govern their vehicles so they literally CAN’T go over 60 or 65. This is a good thing, I promise. Because…
- Do you know what happens when a car meets a truck in an accident? The car gets totaled and the truck needs a new coat of paint. You will not win this fight. I know nobody likes getting stuck behind a big dumb truck, but it’s not worth your life.
We are trying our best to protect you from our 80,000 pound death machines. Please help us out.
I had a dream that unless the teacher told us class was over, we were forbidden from going out the door. Our teacher was very forgetful, and maybe even malicious. After being forced to stay past sunset many days, my class decided we were going to break out every night. Eventually our attempts led us to discovering rifts in space-time where we could warp. So we never used the door. Checkmate.

what? you going to critique my dreams? my subconscious creations, that I did by accident, while asleep? the chemicals in my brain? are you going to use your foul eyes and dissect all of the plotholes in my dreams? you going to critique the weather? harass the clouds? make fun of thunder for being off key? remind me to come to your house and shred your shoes
ive noticed that a lot of exclusionists are lesbians? is there like a reason or
Most of us were pressured into using the split attraction model when someone should’ve been educating us on internalised homophobia and compulsory heterosexuality. But if you ask an inclusionist this question they’ll most likely give you some lesbophobic bullshit about how we’re all evil allogay gatekeepers
Depression is like being in the middle of the ocean without sight of land or a boat to get home in. What we need is medicine that gives us a boat, not one that makes us ok with being stuck in the middle of the fuckin ocean
our friend saw cars 3 so we asked him to give us his honest review of it and all he said was “Lightning McQueen had a smart phone”

Thanks
that was lightning mcqueen trying to contact us bro
since it’s pride month i want to remind straight people that lgbt people being closeted and their reasons for it are none of your business. Just because you think “it’s 2017 and everyone is ok with gay people” doesn’t make it true and you have no right to out us or make us feel bad for not wanting to come out
Go to bed early and dream of better things. Fill your stomach with sweet fruits and honey. Clean your body with sea salt and brush your hair every night. Let the moss grow out of the places you were broken. Do not show them how vile you are. Wait for the oblivion to take over you. Someday the star that gave us birth will swallow us whole but not in our lifetime. How tragic. Take good care.
