The sign of high quality is the fact the book was banned by the government. Trash literature NEVER EVER had any troubles with the law.
FARENHEIT 451 IS ON THE BANNED BOOKS LIST???
IT’S LITERALLY ABOUT THE SOCIETAL DANGERS OF BANNING/OUTLAWING/BURNING BOOKS
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME
That’s the reason it’s on the bloody list.
BECAUSE IT’S ABOUT HOW BANNING AND BURNING BOOKS IS WRONG.
It is the civic duty of everyone to read banned books.
Wh-why is ‘Where the WIld Things Are’ on a list of banned books???? What could anyone possibly find offensive about that book that they feel the need to ban it????
Defiance of a parent, is my guess.
Nope. It’s banned because of “witchcraft/supernatural elements” bc Christian mothers are fucking rabid about that kind of shit
Please don’t feel guilty for taking a break or giving yourself some time off. Sometimes you need to rest one day in order to reach heights you previously believed to be unattainable the next. Work hard, rest hard.
There was external factors that led to [my eating disorder]. A lot of anorexia nervosa can come from control issues or something you’ve inherited but in my case, I believe it was from external factors. I broke my back at 17 [in a car crash] and it changed my relationship with my body. It probably saved my life otherwise I’d still be anorexic now. I learned how to appreciate my body that I had taken hugely for granted and actively hurting for so long. It literally knocked some sense into me. — Jameela Jamil on society’s routine abuse of women and how it has shaped her life.
i understand when ur 13 and u just realized u have a mental illness and ur so relieved to know there are other ppl going thru the same thing as u, its easy to slip into the idea that your newly labeled thoughts and behaviors are normal and okay.
they are not. suicidal thoughts arent normal. violent impulses arent normal. delusions and hallucinations arent normal.
now that you have a name for this behavior you need to seek help. dont let tumblr trick you into thinking unhealthy coping mechanisms are the only ways to deal with your mental illness. dont let it fester, dont let it worsen. seek as much help as you can. actively try to better yourself.
The national conversation about trans identity and community tends to focus on the newest crop of trans youth. But why don’t we hear about older trans and gender-nonconforming individuals who manage to overcome the at times seemingly impossible odds and survive — and thrive — in America?
Photographer Jess Dugan’s latest project To Survive on This Shore aims to bring attention to those voices. For over five years, Dugan and social worker Vanessa Fabbre have traveled across the United States photographing and interviewing older trans and gender-nonconforming individuals to ensure their stories, largely untold, are finally shared.

This won’t make your blog look ugly. How could you not reblog this? REBLOGGING THIS COULD SAVE A LIFE!!!
This goes for assholes, too, guys. I know a couple who went tubing once, and they had to re-air their tubes, but the guy thought it would be funny to stick the tip of the air compressor up to her bikini trunks, the air ruptured something inside her and she died within thirty minutes.
WHAT?
The thing about this? It’s in every pregnancy book I’ve read.
WHAT?????
Why is it in pregnancy books but not sex ed books?
Separation of young children, in fact any children, from their carer is
child abuse, and I would love to see those who initiated and implemented
this policy charged with this offence.
We were never supposed to know about this. The Trump administration pretended there was no “child separation policy” until NYT reporters broke the story (after weeks of denial on many levels of the government, and high-up officials completely denying the # of children taken).
Children were taken from motel rooms without the parents knowing why or what was going on. Children and parents were asked by ICE/border agents to take pictures together, and were then asked to stand several feet apart for separate photographs, and then the children were taken with no explanation. There was no reason given during these separations because there was no official policy and nothing documented.
The reason many families will never be reunited is because the unique ID # of each family, given as they first crossed into the border, was deleted and changed after the children were taken. Those children were reassigned ID #s as unaccompanied children after they were forcibly separated from their families. As in, the system shows that all of these children crossed into the border alone, and there is no official record of who their families are. Again, this was done without any official policy in place.
After all of this came to light: that’s when the Trump administration announced their “zero tolerance policy” at the border. For them, if everything had gone according to plan, nobody would know about this. Many families will never be reunited because that was never supposed to be an option to begin with, this was supposed to happen with no official evidence.
