I don’t get this because white millennials love that flag too. Have y'all seen Twitter, IG, and any other form of social media?
young southerners are JUST as racist as their parents???
Like did the ‘young southerners’ raise themselves or??
as a young southerner I can say that the majority of us are WAY more accepting and tolerant than our parents.
Sometimes I wonder if these people who don’t live in the south realize there are young white southerners who fight tooth and nail with their kinfolk about this issue. As a southern white person who gets called a traitor by her family, I completely relate to this picture and fuck anyone who tries to paint us as the bigots we are trying hard to fight against!
I have family in Texas- my uncle is the biggest republican I’ve ever met- anti-LGBT rights, pro-racism, pro-gun, anti-woman-but his daughter, my cousin, is the COMPLETE opposite, and she doesn’t hide it either. She spends her days in the schools gay rights group, has taken part in dozens of rallies, and regularly argues with her father about what she believes in. She is the next generation of southerner, and I HATE that she is being portrayed and generalised as a bigot.
Man, tumblr is a trip. Never generalize anyone about anything unless it’s someone who isn’t you, amirite? Look, I get this shit from a lot of people. I get it from movies and television, I get it from my own friends. I’m not saying the south isn’t a shit place some of the time. It is. That’s the thing. We know it is. We’re trying to change it. This is the comment that got me:
“Like did the ‘young southerners’ raise themselves or???”
No, and that’s literally the point. Do you see the same comic I do? That kid dragging himself out of the sinkhole? You get what that’s supposed to mean, right? We didn’t raise ourselves. He’s been living in that sinkhole up to this point, too. Because we grow up believing our parents know what they’re talking about. We all do, I know that isn’t any different up north. And it’s great that your parents weren’t racist, homophobic bigots like so many southern parents were, but the whole point the comic is trying to make is how fucking hard it is realizing your parents aren’t trustworthy people. It fucking sucks. I have to fight the man who raised me about what my own rights should be.
And the fact of the matter is, that for years, because my dad said otherwise, I didn’t think I deserved any. And it was a fucking nightmare pulling myself out of that sinkhole and coming out and being who I am today. I still struggle with a lot of issues because of things I grew up hearing from my southern stereotype father.
It’s exhausting seeing people looking shocked or frightened when I mention I’m from Texas, but even more exhausting is understanding why they have that look on their face. It’s humiliating having to explain that my roots don’t define me. But I’m not who my father is, and I’m certainly not who he wants me to be.
So yeah, I’m done having people tell me what I think. And if I’m not going to take it from my own flesh and blood you better be damn sure I’m not gonna take it from the likes of some strangers on the Internet.
shaming shoplifting blogs is ableist as fuck because some people have kleptomania and have no control over themselves??!?!!?!?
and it’s not us women’s fault that we get payed less and women’s products cost more in this disgusting capitalist society
you think THIS is what ableism is??? if you cannot control yourself from not only stealing put then posting pictures and blogging about your “hauls” you have A LOT more to worry about than just “kleptomania”
Your kleptomania does not give you the right to break the law, what the hell.
What I can give you is understanding. What I can give you is support to suppress those urges. To find outlets. But do not think for a second that people are going to be okay with you stealing just because of your kleptomania.
I say this as a woman, who does know what you mean in the later half. It’s why I typically buy mens products when I can get away with it because the pink version is like four bucks more.
And storekeepers have every right to be angry when their merchandise are stolen.
Employees have every right to be furious that the actions of someone else could lead to their own demotion or termination.
It’s also an insult to others with Kleptomania who DO manage to manage their urges to see others demanding special treatment.
Well OP seems to be an otherkin so what do you expect other then insanity.
Well hold up there. I’ll admit, I’m not the hugest fan of ‘other kin’. I feel like the more extreme version can undermine the legitimate struggles of trans/mogai people.
But that literally has nothing to do with the issue at hand. I once talked with a ‘fiction kin’ person who was CONVINCED she was a character from a anime. But that bit of awkwardness aside, this person was literally the sweetest person ever. Full of empathy and understanding. Even with my bias, I went along with calling her whatever anime character she wanted to be. It wasn’t hurting anyone anyways.
OP could be a upstanding girl scout with the birthmark of the chosen one. It still wouldn’t matter. Her attitude would still be just as bad.

Just FYI, this is a direct quote from the guy who some people are now trying to claim is transphobic.
Not understanding something because it’s not a part of your own life does not mean you are ‘[whatever]phobic’ - it means you are ignorant and ignorance is something that can be fixed. And, as you can see here, Dan was clearly expressing an openness and willingness to listen and trying to gain a better understanding of something that he has no personal context for.
Something Tumblr peeps would do well to remember, since you’re so fond of calling others out for anything and everything: your experience is not everyone else’s experience. Dan didn’t grow up when you did, or how you did, or where you did. His context for the world and life in general is entirely different from yours, but he is making an effort to understand and be better.
You don’t look at that and then say “yeah, but what about the time he said this? that means he’s THIS!” You say, ‘thank you for making the effort, here’s other things it might help you to know’, because fuck knows there are thousands upon thousands of other straight white guys out there who don’t give a single bucket of broken fucks if they hurt your feelings or upset you. Dan does care.
Nobody busts up out of the womb being 100% ‘non-problematic’ and knowing all the right words to say or avoid saying. Calling someone out just so you can label them problematic is absolutely. fucking. worthless., if you don’t also try to help them understand why what they did or said is bothersome. Calling someone out and then not filling the gaps in their knowledge is just you looking for cookies and headpats.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Dan is on our side.
Oh for fuck sakes you have other people to hate on than Danny

Anonymous asked: Except that the books in latinamerica are labeled with Berentein and Berentain from the same distibutor, the only possibility is that the distributor change the writting of the same book in subsecuents releases.
I mean regional between uk and the us. in america, dark white is spelled “gray” but in uk it’s spelled “grey”
I don’t know, that’s the only explanation I can think of without breaking the laws of physics.
