🗣️ Louder for the people in the back

I’m just over it. I fucking hate the toxicity in the uswnt. I never believed in Vlatko. I know good Coaches when i see one. He isn’t. He couldn’t handle the Olympics. He thinks his little friendlies with teams that barely leave their countries and have 0 money to invest are great to measure his team. He is delusional. He lacks a core team. Most of them are out. I won’t talk smack about any player in that roster but I don’t think it’ll end up being good for the US.

I just wish CP peace of mind and a full recovery. She doesn’t deserve this treatment.

But alas, all futbol federations are little mafias…iykwim. She’s better off.

He is literally driving the best team in the world into the fucking ground

Well he just came right out and said huh?

the concept and idea of “you can always start trying to be a better person” is extremely important to me both in media and irl and i continue to be deeply deeply disturbed by the trend on this site pushing that these ideas in media are bad writing or even morally reprehensible

because theyd rather someone stay terrible or just straight up die than become a better person 

from a compassionate point of view it’s deeply distressing and from a pragmatic point of view it’s outright frustrating

it’s fucked up. 

I’m rewatching the half of it and it only just started but im crying cause alice wu really did this she had her own paul who stopped being her friend because she’s gay and that was her first heartbreak after coming out and she wrote this movie as a way to work through it but she gave ellie a happy ending with her paul and had him say “I never want to be the guy who stops loving someone for loving the way that they want to love.” 

fuck people who criticized this movie for “not being gay enough” fuck them all GOD

TW: Pedophilia

Teenagers are rarely taught the reason why they can't consent to sex with adults.

And that's because teaching them that would completely unravel our coercion-based society.

It can be difficult to explain in detail the exact reason and all the specifics in a way that they will understand. But the simplest way to phrase it is that in some cases, even when someone agrees to something and even when they appear enthusiastic about it, there's too much of a power imbalance that it's no different than forcing them. Also, having power and being abusive doesn't require a conscious expectation to be obeyed.

Imagine a world in which every teenager understood that and was easily able to call out anyone who tried to convince them otherwise.

They'd know that there's no such thing as an employee consenting to working for a poverty wage, working in unsafe conditions, working long hours, or working without taking breaks. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to paying a bank overdraft fee. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to student loan debt. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to medical bills. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to generating profit for banks or landlords in order to have a place to live and being evicted or foreclosed when you lose your source of income. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to a police search. They'd know that there's no such thing as a child who's okay with their parents spanking them. They'd know that being dependent on someone does not mean that you can never criticize them. They'd know that if it's considered abusive to simply play along when someone obeys, then it has to be much more abusive to actively expect to be obeyed, which many adults do to them.

And people who benefit from a society based on coercion masquerading as freedom wouldn't like that.

So instead, teenagers are taught something dismissive. They're taught that what they want doesn't matter. They're taught that they're too young to know what love is. They're taught "it's the law". They're taught things that are insulting to their intelligence, which they'll naturally rebel against.

i hope you heal from the things no one ever apologized for

AU where Kate and Erica had one, semi-anonymous, great night in college that’s nothing but a vague memory until, years later, Lena and Astrid have a chance run-in at a charity gala and start to realize why every relationship since has never seemed to work out

cmon girlies we’re picking out a 10k+ single chapter fic on ao3 to read stomach down head turned towards our phones held next to our pillows as we move only our thumbs to scroll until our sedatives knock us out
