Oh wow didn’t expect the end.

While I agree with the message, we should also be teaching boys that it’s okay to cry.

Boys can cry and I will hug them bc it’s okay to be sad and cry

The point of this ad (to the second commenter) is that, in telling boys they can’t cry because they will be perceived as weak, you create emotionally-stunted men whose only method of expressing themselves is through violence and aggression. In saying “man” is interchangeable exclusively with “strong”, they grow up to believe that anyone who ISN’T a man (women, queer people) IS weak, and thus they have warrant to harm them.

These things are linked.

In ending toxic masculinity, you end misogyny and queerphobia. That’s why the ad says “Start with the boys”, because at such a young age, males are susceptible to all sorts of harmful ideals. I myself was, and it’s taken me almost 20 years to wash them off, and you know what? There’s still more to do.

In creating emotionally-healthy young boys, you create an environment where men respect others who are different to them. In ending traditional masculinity, you end patriarchy.

Basically, don’t tell young boys that emotions are a weakness. Everyone has emotions. It’s not a weakness.

The notion that Iggy Azalea is a feminist needs to get slam dunked into the trash. Unrepentantly using the n-word and calling herself a slave master isn’t feminist, calling bisexual women ‘fake lesbians’ and masculine women d*kes isn’t feminist but like hey cudos to her for that song pu$$y that’s so like #girlpower

This is why you need to bind safely.  The damage in the first picture is not the result of binding over numerous years with a simple binder.  It’s the result of unsafe and irresponsible binding.  Bind safely.

OH MY GOD I’M SHRIEKING THIS CAN’T FUCKING HAPPEN

It most certainly can.  

In stead of just saying BIND SAFELY you should explain the safe and in safe ways to bind.

1. Bind using only an actual binder (make sure you measure and get the proper size), or tight-ish sports bra in a pinch.  You want something that compresses while still having give so that your lungs can expand.  

2. Never use ace bandages/belts/tape/etc to bind.

3. Do not sleep in your binder.

4. Do not wear your binder for long periods of time.  I’ve seen 8 hours mentioned as the max amount of time.  Learn to read your body.  Some people cannot handle binding for even 8 hours but ignore the signs and injure themselves.

5. Whenever you take your binder off give a few big coughs, this well help to break up any fluid that may have settled in your lungs.

That’s all I can think of atm, but I think I’ve covered the basics.

I’m not tagging this for followers I just want all of you that bind hard to be careful. 

FUCKING REBLOG THE SHIT OUT OF THIS

when i was young and stupid, I used duct tape to bind. NEVER EVER DO THIS CHILDREN. i couldn’t breathe, i could barely move, it cut into me so hard that sometimes i bled, it was so hot i got blisters, i would sometimes cry because of how much pain i was in, and it left my breasts numb in some places because of how tight it was. It killed nerve endings in my chest.

PLEASE. PLEEEEEAAAAAASE SPREAD THE WORD. PRACTICE SAFE BINDING METHODS.

//bind safely my fellow non-cis tumblers

I hope the next Elder Scrolls game moves away from the oversimplification BS that Skyrim introduced

It won’t

Don’t crush my dreams I just want classes back. And more specific weapon skills

Well, Skyrim is by far Bethesda’s best selling game, so i doubt they’re going to change the formula now.  I’ve pretty much given up on future elder scrolls.  On the off chance that they do make one that’s more complicated it would be a nice surprise, but i wouldn’t count on it.

I guess I’ll just mod the shit out of morrowind and play that

Honestly, Skyrim gets my preference if only because levelling up doesn’t make you weaker if you don’t do it in just the right way.

How did you do it in Oblivion again? Sacrifice a goat at midnight or something?

I like skyrim because in oblivion, you had to start out knowing what class you were gonna pick and plan main skills accordingly. In skyrim, you can just do whatever the fuck you want. I like that. It gives more freedom. Like, I could be going “Hmm, I’ve been a rogue too long. I’m gonna try being a mage now!” without making a whole new character.

this is easily the most confusing part of grandma got run over by a reindeer. why is it there. why is it necessary. why the tropical theme in a Christmas special. why could one of them not just say “we’ll make her sue santa.” this is one minute or so of animation that is completely baffling.

The whole scene plays out like a zelda cdi cutscene
