Woman: *attempts to set a boundary*

Man: Woowww 😦 so you like, hate me? You’re mad at me? Can’t you like, compromise your comfort a little bit for my convenience? I honestly think you’re being a little too sensitive here! Maybe you should look inward and consider why you’re so cold and heartless 😔

how do i know if i should care about someone? or, if i already do feel myself caring, how do i know if i should stop? am i putting too much effort into a one-sided thing? or am i being a good friend? is this person worth all my worrying and nervous planning? does it even matter? they will leave, anyway. no matter what happens, i will lose them.. it’s just a matter of time. because that’s what happens to all the friendships i have ever had. then the other side hits me… you only live once. don’t burn bridges. be caring and thoughtful. reach out to the people you care about. check up on people. but … is this person even worth that? is this person too emotionally stunted and damaged and in need of therapy to be worth my time and attention? i don’t know… i feel like all this is stuff that i should have experienced in high school, but i was too busy being a depressed and violently emotional recluse

German pilots ground over 200 flights after refusing to deport asylum seekers

Flight crews did not want to help send people back to Afghanistan, local media report

German pilots have reportedly grounded more than 200 flights after refusing to be involved in the deportations of failed asylum-seekers.

Flight crews said they did not want to participate in sending people back to Afghanistan, where violence is still rife following years of war and occupation by Western forces.

Between January and September 222 flights were cancelled, according to German government figures, with most – 140 – coming at Frankfurt airport.

[…]

At least one similar refusal is known to have taken place in the UK when British Airways pilot refused to take off while Samim Bigzad was on board earlier this year.

Mr Bigzad, an Afghan, faced deportation to the city where the Taliban had threatened to kill him before the pilot intervened, saying: “You’re not going to take him; I’m not flying. Someone’s life is at risk.”

Direct action! “Just following orders” is never an excuse! [article]

Stop asking little girls if they have boyfriends
Stop referring to the boys that little girls are friends with as their “little boyfriends”
Stop telling little girls they’re going to have boyfriends or be “boy crazy”
Stop raising children on heteronormativity and let them be children

Additionally:
1. It’s not funny
2. It’s not cute
3. You are embarrassing them
4. You are completely disregarding them when they tell you “no” and you insist

Stop doing the same to little boys too.

They are not “a little lady’s man.”

Don’t excuse him picking on a girl as him having a crush. Correct the behavior and stop treating it like it’s cute and normal.

Also stop insisting little boys have crushes on significantly older women. It’s gross.

Just let kids be kids.

I have never encountered a child who enjoyed this treatment.

Oh my fucKING GOD

Reminder!

“If every woman in the world woke up tomorrow and decided that she loved herself and loved her body just the way it is, how many industries would go out of business?”

IMPORTANT

Hey look a few more industries for us millennials to kill!

This is the most motivating thing I’ve ever seen in regards to me stopping hating on my self

Other cartoons that the publisher refused to print before firing Rogers:

A political cartoonist who had satirized every President during his 25 years at the paper is fired for drawing Trump cartoons.

“This is precisely the time,” Pittsburgh mayor Bill Peduto (often the target of Rogers’ cartoons) said, “when the constitutionally protected free press – including critics like Rob Rogers – should be celebrated and supported, and not fired for doing their jobs. This decision, just one day after Trump labeled the news media is ‘our country’s biggest enemy.’“

Y’know, like dictators always do under fascist regimes.

The story on The Guardian: X

I live in Europe. I posted a couple of fanfictions online. Should I take them down in preparation for art13? I’m a bit scared of the possible consequences if it passes (although i surely hope it doesn’t)

Hi anon! Thank you for the question

First of all

Don’t panic!

According to the OTW’s legal department it’s the websites that will be held responsible for our uploading copyrighted content and not us.  We would still be held responsible for the old laws, which contain important points on fair use, which protect fanfiction users.

That’s why they’re implementing the filters; worst case scenario you’re just not going to be able to upload and view fanfiction anymore, or you might simply be locked out of sites like AO3 because you’re European (is my guess).

Because of that we really do need to fight this thing with tooth and nail, we can’t entirely calm down.

So please, do share this with your readers and your followers, and everybody you know! And call and email your representatives!!

Again! Don’t panic! I know it’s easy to; I certainly panicked when I first heard! But there’s no need to delete your fanfiction just yet!

Just to add uh… Copyright filters won’t work on fanfiction and fanart. Well, unless you lifted something wholesale and changed some names it won’t. Automatic ID doesn’t look for “inspired by”, it doesn’t have thile thinking power and that’s legal under fair use, it looks for “has used large chunks of”. If your use of the original content is transformative then fair use can help you remove any strikes you get from systems like this.

That’s it!!

YouTube already has a system like this and so does facebook. People upload stolen fanart on Facebook all the time, let alone original, and you dont see the IP owners coming down in them.
