and that’s when the subway starts chanting “KISS KISS KISS KISS”

Does anyone know what subway system this is on? It kinda looks like an old TTC (Toronto) train, but I don’t remember them having yellow doors.

Just NO.
It’s totally okay to “go for curves”. I do myself.
But it’s also totally okay to like thin people. Lots of people do, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
More importantly, it’s okay to be fat, and it’s okay to be thin. There’s nothing wrong with either.
However, most importantly, it’s unutterably wrong that this statement reinforces, rather than challenges the idea that it’s okay for women to “die” to please the male gaze. If you want to attack that idea, then don’t just say “Hey, men like curves.” Say, “Hey, don’t kill yourself based on what you think a man wants to see. Find your own value in yourself. That’s the only way to ever be free. As long as you base your self-worth on someone else’s opinion of your physical attractiveness, you give them power over you that they can choose to revoke at any time. Be you, for you.” 
And maybe also question the exceedingly common belief that people’s worth is based on their appearance anyway. Your value as a person is determined by your character and your actions, not by your appearance.
(Entirely aside from the pettiness of addressing a corrective note to someone who has died, after the fact, if we take the ‘die for’ literally.) 

What If just said.
Also, the whole concept of “real men” is just as offensive to me as the concept of “real women”. 3rdly, “real men” go for whatever the hell they’re attracted to, without apology. Different people are attracted to different things. THIS IS OK.
You know, you’d think that by now, people would have gotten through their heads that there is diversity in this world in EVERYTHING and that’s a good thing. Also, that bringing others down is not the way to raise one’s self up. I mean, shit, didn’t we learn that as kids? I distinctly remember a Berenstein Bears book on this very topic.
As I always say, you can be fat positive w/o being skinny negative. And if you try to give me the old “but skinny people aren’t oppressed thing”, well, “too” skinny people ARE always being put down [ex. “go eat a sandwich”], plus, TALKING SMACK ABOUT PEOPLE ISN’T OK. EVER. PERIOD. END OF STORY. Sizeism goes a bunch of different ways. Size positivity means positivity of EVERY size. ALL THE SIZES. And it’s ALL judgement on other people’s bodies, which isn’t ok either.

HOLY SHIT!

Nice.
Also, shawarma is fucking good!
(Yes, I am lame enough that I tried it because of Avengers, but seriously, I’m super glad I did because it’s really great.)

I wonder how many people went and tried shawarma after tony suggested it. :I

the answer to that is A LOT. according to this article, sales have shot up 80% since the movie hit the big screen. :)

Shawarma is big in Toronto… there’s a joint on just about every corner. So I’ve been eating it for years, long before the Avengers ever came out. (Actually, it’s mentioned in the beginning of the 4th Scott Pilgrim graphic novel, too.)
DOES THIS MAKE ME HIPSTER? ;-)

Helpful TF2 sprays.

VTF download.

I didn’t make these.

Sweet sweet Jesus that second medic one is now my spray forever

currently using the pyro one

srsly other engies. my engie must smell really nice or something cause ALL the other engies always want to cuddle up and have me read their sentries bedtime stories or something.

Seriously? Man, I’ve been playing Engie (and Medic) since the original TF and that’s like Engie 101 level stuff there. Also, know your map so you know the best, most protected spots to place your SGs.

Although, to be fair, I’m still learning how to play the new Medic. It’s different from the old original TF medic. (I still miss infecting the other team. That was SO MUCH FUN.)

Dream II

he tells me to dream
while driving in the car
through Jersey
the leaves coming out on the lindens along the lane

he asks me what my goals are
stubble on his face
if I even have any goals
eyebrows furrowed and worried

I get indignant
but know it’s a good question

I say something about getting mentally well
As the sun goes down
I mumble something about returning to college one day maybe

i don’t have any goals
but i don’t want to be made to feel bad about this

my goal is living through today
through tomorrow
my goal is being happy
one moment at a time

it sounds so noble
so zen

it’s not

people without mental illness
without chronic depression
don’t understand what it’s like
to have their life stolen away
by the fog in one’s head
to not even conceive of dreaming
because it’s simply
a ludicrous proposition

I mention happiness as a goal
he states that I probably have
a better chance at it than his

he gives me hope for the future
thoughts that maybe I could really do something
I wanted

I’ve learned to stop even wanting
ages ago

but there’s some part of me that knows, however
that it’s never going to happen
I’ll never achieve
because I was never given the power
to accomplish my dreams

Dream: A Piss Poor Poem from the Heart

They tell me to dream
what they don’t tell me is
the pain that will come with it
the desperation
the agony
the feeling that you’re
never quite good enough
don’t have what it takes to achieve
that dream
that desire
that goal

they told us we could be anything
they told me that I was smart
that I would do great things
no one told me
I didn’t have to
it was expected of me

they didn’t tell me that
my ADHD might hold me back
that depression would
engulf my days
“blind my eyes
& steal my dreams”

he tells me to dream
wants me to think big
i prefer to think little
baby steps
it’s more feasible
and tiny steps’ll get me there
as long as I keep taking them

I’m afraid
I don’t want to dream big
I don’t want to dream at all
dreams hurt
gossamer promises whispered
in my ear after dark
seductive but deadly

Surviving the World comic by Dante Shepherd. Text reads: “If it is harder and scarier for you to explain to your children why some people love each other than for you to explain to your children why some people should be treated less than equal, you’re doing it wrong.” Beside the picture, Dante stands with his three-week old baby in his arms, pretending to be lecturing it.
