I don’t care what side of the Same sex marriage debate you’re on. If you child comes out as gay, you do not beat them, you do not abuse, you do not kick them out of the house. Them being gay is no reason to treat them this way.
No no no no! I’m actually disgusted that this filth ended up on my dash. How could the staff seriously support this disgusting organization?
As a person with Autism myself, I’m completely appalled that this would even show up on this website. Seeing as a huge chunk of us here are also under the spectrum.
Commercial for ‘I Am Autism.’ “I am autism…I know where you live…I work faster than pediatric AIDS, cancer, and diabetes combined…I will make sure your marriage fails.”
I don’t know what you may be going through, I don’t know how you’re feeling right now, or how did it get this bad. However, I do know one thing, and that is the fact that, if you are still here, alive, it is because your life has a purpose and a meaning. It does not matter who you are, what you’ve done, where you’ve been or how bad your past was, your future holds a promise, and that promise starts with Jesus. Hold on to Him, let His love guide you and mold you, and make of you a testimony of strength and perseverance. Do not give up. You have come so far, and this is not the end of the road for you. There is so much more. Just hold on. He will make a way.
dont ever feel bad about being scared of or made uncomfortable by something in the horror genre
horror works are literally designed to make you afraid/unsettled and if you do not enjoy that feeling, that is a-ok
also, what evokes emotion in a person is utterly subjective and if someone else goes ‘well it didnt scare ME lol’ then good for them. they’re being a jerk now
I am going to print this out and plaster it everywhere I go
my heart just broke
Not gonna lie; I’m on the verge of tears right now. Because this is what I see every night when I come into work. I work at a Jewish-run elder care non-profit. Even in the memory care unit, we’re seeing a rise in the residents’ anxiety levels, to the point where they’ve had to stop turning on the TV news stations (and these residents still love the news). Multiple residents are direct survivors of the Shoah; some barely escaped, and almost all of them lost family members in death camps. One resident was one of the children saved by the Kindertransport. Many other residents tell me stories of when they were kids, how their neighborhoods were destroyed and relocated and of the siblings and parents they no longer have. One newer resident was finally starting to settle in when Charlottesville happened. Even though we immediately changed the channel, she was shaken. She was inconsolable for hours. When I left for the night, she was still crying and refused to leave her room. Even now, weeks after the direct event, she still is wary to come to programs, fearing that if she is away from her room too long that her possessions and place will be stolen from her like they were in 1938. Even with dementia, even with Alzheimers, these residents remember what happened. They cannot forget their lost loved ones. They cannot forget the things stolen from them. They cannot forget, period. Because this fight against Neo-Nazis isn’t just a theoretical thing. These groups know that people are forgetting about Shoah; they take great strength knowing that people from that generation are dying. When they regard WWII as a “dark cloud” hanging over the heads of this generation, it is not with a solemn regard, with they knowledge that we must not forget lest we repeat our mistakes. These White supremacists, these White Neo-Nazis, see Shoah remembrance as something they will gladly eradicate. When people gladly throw out the Nazi salute, chant the 14 words, or march under the banner of “hail victory,” they are two things and two things only – Nazi apologists and Nazi supporters. Shoah survivors are not gone. They are still here. We need to stop ignoring that this normalization of Nazis marching in the street harms real people. It’s not just ideas. It’s not just “free speech”. We cannot forget. We cannot forget. We cannot forget.
Remembering is not enough. Sorrow is not enough. They are in our midst again
I don’t often comment on this issue, but this is my take on it. Our culture and society is rotting from the inside out. Mass shootings are just one more domino.
Discipline, by the way, doesn’t just mean a spanking or time out. It means teaching them. Teaching them morals, values, pride in self and place, compassion, humility, virtue, self-control, modesty. It means modeling a loving relationship in a functioning home.
In short, what Americans have been turning their backs on for decades.
Research has shown that Hand Talk is still being used by a small number of deaf and hearing descendants of the Plains Indian cultures.
“Hand Talk is endangered and dying quickly,” said Melanie McKay-Cody, who identifies herself as Cherokee Deaf and is an expert in anthropological linguistics.
McKay-Cody is the first deaf researcher to specialize in North American Hand Talk and today works with tribes to help them preserve their signed languages. She is pushing for PISL to be incorporated into mainstream education of the deaf.
((Quick note: This isn’t what American Sign Language or (ASL) refers to. We got most of our official signs and influences from the French.
Also fun fact: Every nation has their own form of sign language. It isn’t the same everywhere you go.))
No matter your age.
No matter your weight.
No matter your race.
No matter your gender.
No matter your skills.
Cosplay is about everyone coming together & having fun.
This a 1000 times over
All so very true, otherwise we wouldn’t have cosplayers or any community that’s worth being a member of. Cosplay is about expressing your love for a show/character/Story. Some may be better done but it doesn’t mean the others are nothing, they all mean something.
((There is a huge double standard when it comes to this. I was once told I was “too white” to cosplay a character. It was my first cosplay and it ruined the entire experience for me. The character was Jade Harley from Homestuck, and here’s the thing…
SHE HAS NO CANON RACE! Her skin isn’t colored like all of the other humans in the comic, which leaves their skin pure #ffffff))
I literally just had this conversation on FB with a new black.
^^
To people that think being “racist against whites” is a thing….
I completely disagree with this. You can’t tell me black people can’t be racist when we’re actually extremely racist. By saying that black people can’t be racist, it’s implied that under no circumstances, anything that I do isn’t racist. If I was to call a middle eastern man a terrorist and pull off his turban, if he’s wearing one, claiming that there’s a bomb under it simply because he’s middle eastern, I’m not racist because I’m black. If I ask an Asian acquaintance of mine to help me on some math because he’s Asian (remember guys, Asians are great at math), I’m not racist cuz I’m black. If I hide all my valuable shit because some Hispanics came around(Hispanics are stereotypically thieves) or even ride up on a group of Hispanics and ask them how much it would be to fix my roof, I’m not racist cuz I’m black. Nigga please, black people are racist as fuck.
I actually agree with the comment just above mine. Black people can be racist. Any race can be racist to other races, even their own. I’ve heart light skin black people insult black people that are darker than them, and even heard a black guy calling an Indian boy a Paki, which is an extremely racist term. A lot of black people are racist towards the white race also. Racism is back and forth. Racism is prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race. Any race can have that. Black people get a lot of stick just living in this world… I get that… I’ve been through it. but just look how many people back away from muslims/ someone who wears a turban and gets pulled over at the airport after 9/11.
Dear POC…
((Nope, any human can be racist, period.
Also, yeah I’m whiter than a milk bottle in a snowstorm, but let me tell you something, I was called “cracker” at such a young age, I thought they were talking about the crackers we would eat at snack time! My substitute history teacher made all of the white kids apologize to all the other kids for our race, as if we had ever whipped anyone in our twelve years of life! I grew up contemplating suicide because I was told my skin, my ancestry, the things I can’t even change made me permanently evil!
No child should have to endure that level of self hatred and self shame, no matter their race! Now, with toxic ideas like white privilege, more white children are suffering as I have than ever before. I had a kid aged 5 come to me crying and saying they didn’t want to be white anymore. Why should any child have to feel that?! Why?! How is that justified?! It isn’t!
I deserve to live just as much as all of you, even if I’m white. I shouldn’t have to apologise for a crime I never even committed. You can cry racism all you want, but you’re the one berating and labelling me based on my race at the end of it all!
Also, saying POC can’t be racist is racist. It’s saying they aren’t capable of doing something wrong, it is denying they have a quality of humanity that makes them equal to you and me! Let POC take responsibility for their own actions like anyone else, don’t excuse their actions based on their race or the history of their race. In the end they have choice and free will. Don’t treat them like helpless victims of the world, and justify their every move. It’s the worst kind of bigotry one can display in my opinion.))
