Okay, but seriously on the topic of straight people being so overly concerned about their children being exposed to homosexuality…
As some of you know, I am a makeup artist in a holistic beauty boutique in a very wealthy area of eastern New York. The week before Halloween I was offering simple costume makeup designs for both adults and children. So my last client of the evening was a 15 year old girl who came in to get her makeup done for the Halloween dance at her school. I was enjoying a conversation with both the girl and her mother when suddenly the topic of transgender came up. I got a little nervous because I have a hard time keeping my mouth shut when I hear people speaking negatively about these sorts of topics and as I mentioned, my store is in a very upscale, white, conservative area…
Anyway, the girl starts telling us that her friend prefers to be a boy now. She says it very simply and comfortably and it made me happy to see her talk about it as if it was really no big deal.
Her mother says
“How does she even know what transgender is though? She’s a little young to be making a decision like that. I really think the media is taking things too far with all this gay stuff. I’m not against it or anything, but didn’t you just tell me two boys in your class are dating too?”
The girl said that yes, two boys she knew were dating and another boy she knew was gay also. (And she also corrected the pronouns her mother used for her friend)
“I don’t mind that she knows that homosexuality is,” the mother said. “But I don’t think it should be taught at such a young age. Did you know it’s on Disney channel now?”
It took me a moment to respond, I just kept painting the girl’s face until I could figure out what I wanted to say.
“Well,” I said. “We tend to teach heterosexuality literally from the time a child is born. Most children’s books and movies are even centered around a romance of some kind like a Prince and a Princess for example. There’s rarely a children’s movie that comes out where the main male and female character don’t end up marrying each other in the end. If we don’t have a problem flooding our children’s minds with heterosexuality from the time they are able to sit up and watch a movie on their own, what is so wrong with showing them two boys or two girls being in love? We aren’t showing them sex. We aren’t showing them anything inappropriate. Since when is love inappropriate? If we show them love in all it’s forms (be it gay or straight) from an early age, they will see that it’s all perfectly normal and natural and maybe we can finally put homophobic the past…”
The woman considered this for a second and then said “I just feel like they see it and then they start to think that they might be too.”
“And maybe they are. But isn’t it better for them to know that it’s okay? They aren’t hurting anyone.”
Then the girl said. “No ones going around just thinking they are gay because they know what gay is, mom. I know what a chicken is, that doesn’t mean I’m going to wake up tomorrow and start clucking.”
I loved this kid. I hope she does well in all of her endeavors
I’m not going to wake up tomorrow and start clucking

[edit: had to reupload the shit. Come on tumblr]

is this a joke
what the fuck
edit:
okay here’s the article, it’s pretty bad
“Policy analysts at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta were told of the list of forbidden words at a meeting Thursday with senior CDC officials who oversee the budget, according to an analyst who took part in the 90-minute briefing. The forbidden words are “vulnerable,” “entitlement,” “diversity,” “transgender,” “fetus,” “evidence-based” and “science-based.”
“In some instances, the analysts were given alternative phrases. Instead of “science-based” or “evidence-based,” the suggested phrase is “CDC bases its recommendations on science in consideration with community standards and wishes,” the person said. In other cases, no replacement words were immediately offered.”
This may seem like it’s not a big deal but it really really is.
The
CDC is not allowed to study gun violence as an epidemic (despite the
fact that most physicians/epidemiologists view it as such) or do prevention research because of
some NRA funded gag-rule bullshit.It might seem like it’s just a few word changes, but those changes literally going to kill people.
All these positive posts on like “start your 2018 off right!” are nice and all but,, it’s also okay if ur 2018 doesn’t start off great. It’s okay if you’re sick in bed and grieving and haven’t showered in a week. You’ve got a whole year ahead of you to improve yourself and your life like,, it’s not a race. You’re allowed to take your time with healing and moving forward. I haven’t slept well in days so this might be unintelligible but hdbbwnaj I thought someone should make this post even if no one will see it. Good luck with ya new year people
For the vampire thing I tossed at you: Hours Count Down In Silent Heartbeats
This is very different from what we talked about but i hope you like it still ;DShisui wakes up in a lab, restrained with two men, who Shisui will later learn go by Danzou and Orochimaru, leaning over him talking about things he can’t understand and injecting things into him that make him feel like he’s burning from the inside out.
When Shisui wakes up next, there’s another person leaning over him, although this person is not the two Shisui saw the first time. This person is much younger, about his age. There are bags under his eyes, bruises on all over him, painful raindows on his skin. His long brown hair is dirty and mattered. Shisui has never seen someone who looks so tired.
But, all Shisui knows is that he’s hungry. Starving in a way he’s never been before and before he realises what he’s doing his teeth are in the person’s neck and he’s drinking and drinking and he can’t stop.
The person pulls him away gently, so, so gently and Shisui chokes on his next breath of air because he’s not right. Something is very wrong.
Blearily, Shisui notices the person’s blood tastes earthy, dirty, like a forest and he stares at Shisui with big dark eyes and tells him it’s alright.
After what could be days, weeks months, Shisui doesn’t know. he learns that it’s not okay. Not anywhere near okay. Shisui is a vampire and the nameless person in his cell can control plants.
Shisui and the nameless person are those men’s experiments.
Shisui has never been good at rolling over and taking the hits that life has to offer so, with the help of the person he’s with – who he calls Tenzou – they begin to plan. Shisui’s life has never been easy, and there’s not that many people that would actually give a shit that Shisui’s missing and Tenzou’s never had anyone to begin with.
They’re not getting saved, so they save themselves.
They’re running through the city with no destination in mind when Shisui literally collides with someone’s chest. There’s a moment of struggling before Tenzou’s pulled vines from the ground and they’re wrapping around the person and squeezing.
It takes Shisui’s exhausted and terrified mind far too long to realise the person Tenzou is strangling is Kakashi and another moment of frantic yelling to get Tenzou to release him.
Kakashi takes one look at them both – too skinny and Tenzou’s hands are shaking and Shisui’s been missing for months, Kakashi had thought he was dead – and knows it’s bad.
Kakashi’s decision making has never been very reliable and Rin is going to murder him when he gets back, but Kakashi’s always liked Shisui more than he should.
The look Shisui’s giving him, terrified, panicking and his face is a greying like he’s going to pass out, is enough to convince Kakashi that whatever the fallout of this is going to be is worth it. Not to mention the smaller one has taken to hiding behind Shisui, his whole body shaking like a leaf in the breeze. and he grew plants out of the ground.
Kakashi rubs his neck where the vines were, hugs Shisui harder than he has ever has, and drags the both of them back to his shitty apartment.
(or, Kakashi doesn’t really know what he’s got himself into, but he loves these two idiots and he lost his last lover, Obito, in a kidnapping case, only for his mutilated body to turn up three years later with the evidence of years of injury and abuse and covered in bite marks and he’s not letting that happen again. This time, he’ll protect them.)
fanart of the thing!

I can’t believe Sakura was the true Mokuton/Sharingan user.
(aka that AU where Sakura is a long lost descendant of Izuna and Touka.)
Plus Shippuden Sakura imitating her great grandma Touka:


May your demons slumber and your wine glass be full
The holiday stag is back!!
I did this design two years ago and every year it’s gone viral without crediting me. There’s another Tumblr account here that has 300000 notes on it and the original poster didn’t credit me meaning I’ve lost out in a ton of potential sales. Pleeeease, if you retweet or repost an artists work, credit them! It helps them so much! Every penny I make comes from my artwork!
Thank you darlings ❤
