“At the time, it wasn’t considered ‘normal’ to be gay or lesbian,” [Barrett] said. “Some even saw it as dangerous. But in The Sims it was normal and safe to be a gay person. It was the first time we could play a game and be free to see ourselves represented within. It was a magical moment when my first same-sex Sims coupled kissed. I still sometimes wonder how in the world I got away with it.”
So my high school’s drama club did The Bad Seed, a play about a child who brutally murders people. Later, the girl who played the part of the murderer was cast as a gay character and she refused to play the part because it “went against her morals”
People calling themselves hetero when they can’t even keep their morals straight
I studied Kung Fu for several years and this was always my favourite move because it works SO WELL.
Basically heads are really tough because they are nothing but bone. If you punch a head there is a REALLY high risk of breaking knuckles/fingers. The palm delivers the same power as a punch without that risk.
Because of the angle of attack it can be used on people much bigger than you AND it’s a weak spot for EVERYONE. You can curl that swastika raising arm all day, every day for the rest of your life, you still gonna catch this one.
As I said earlier, it dominates the centre line of an enemy, meaning that they have to swing wide to hit back (two things cannot occupy the same space) giving you time to react and defend yourself if necessary. All you gotta do is turn at the hips keeping your arms out infront of you and you gonna glide them fascist fingers fight past you.
Oh and it is also really useful if you are being grabbed because the natural reaction to this hit is to cover the nose with both hands, making them let go of you.
(I would advise not leaving your other arm down like the lady in this pic but you get the idea)
Basically palm strikes are the best fucking thing ever. Nazi motherfucker gunna spend the rest of their life looking at the misshapen nose in the mirror wishing they never stepped outside.
1 reblog = one broken Nazi nose
You are literally a toddler having a temper tantrum about people who disagree with you and threatening to hurt them. You should reevaluate your life choices. How will you feel when some of the Nazis hit back?
Disagreeing with someone is not the issue here. The issue is that these people’s actions and beliefs are a direct attack on people’s lives.
Racism is NOT a political opinion, it’s a threat.
Homophobia is NOT a political opinion, it’s a threat.
Transphobia is NOT a political opinion, it’s a threat.
Do you see a pattern forming here? Saying a persons identity is invalid disrespects and dehumanises them. This creates a normalisation, and therefore statistical* increase of violent behaviour against those people.
A Nazi can’t hit BACK because they hit FIRST.
And if they want to get physical? We are ready for them. Respect existence or expect resistance.
If a Nazi hits back, I didn’t hit them hard enough the first time around.
Nazis go down and stay down
Also, keep your thumb tight to your hand. You don’t want to be off a little and risk breaking your thumb.
Keep your arm behind your hand, don’t twist your wrist, if you twist your wrist you break your wrist.
Addition:
Hand #1: Good, but you don’t want your fingers flying everywhere when you throw a high speed nazi nose breaker. You want something compact with control, and maybe a little extra meat between the heel of the palm and the nazi’s nose.
Hand #2: Coil the fingers in and lock the thumb in flush to the hand, and you’ve got a compact nose cracker with more padding as the muscle in the heel of the palm is contracted. Bonus points since if someone manages to grab your hand post strike, it’s easier for you to wrench free with a whole hand than if they’re locked onto a few fingers.
Happy fighting, folks. Remember to aim the shot up the nostrils for maximum ouch.
lol our society is so structured on binaries that people think cats are the opposite of dogs
we also regard dogs as “masculine” and cats as “feminine” to the point that it’s “weird” for men to love cats, women and gay men are stereotyped as liking cats, and creepiest of all, cats are stereotyped as “sexy” animals
Im 100% grossed out by this
this fits into my confusion as to why it’s perfectly acceptable to hate cats but blasphemy to hate dogs
a good thing to do for your friends with anxiety disorders: if you have a question you need to ask them or something you need to tell them, explain the subject of the question/the statement in the same message as your opening one!
so basically: instead of saying “can i ask you a question?” and sending just that (which, as a person with an anxiety disorder, makes my anxiety go into hyperdrive) go “can i ask you a question about ___?”
it’s a little thing but honestly few things make me anxious like “i have a question for you” or “there’s something i need to tell you” without immediate explanation. thanks!
“call me, nothing is wrong, just wanna talk on the phone” would be so much better than “Call me.”
Actually please to all of this please.
YES PLEASE.
oh shit if it’s not too much trouble this is the kind of stuff i really appreciate
Unpopular opinion: straight people using “partner” to refer to their SO actually helps normalize the term so that lgbt folx can use it without automatically outing themselves to strangers. It also helps other straight ppl get comfortable with the fact that strangers aren’t entitled to information about other people’s gender or sexuality.
Give op their hard-earned notes
Tbh I hear “partner” and assume gay, I didn’t know straights used it. Very fair point, OP
I hear ‘partner’ and think ‘gay’ too. A girl at work used it for months and I just went with it. When she would say ‘he’ I even thought maybe he was trans*. Anyways, someone using partner makes me more comfortable and I came out to her. She was just an intelligent straight girl that liked the term and was knowledgeable in human sexuality so definitely someone I should have felt comfortable coming out too. It’s a good sign of a straight person uses it IMO.
As a mental health clinician, this is actually my blanket term when discussing any romantic relationship. I agree it normalizes it, but I also think it’s a relatively safe term to use to describe most romantic relationships without making any assumptions about the person’s orientation or identity. I also use the word “partnered” when describing a monogamous relationship status.
The term “partner” also removes the implied hierarchy of boyfriend/girlfriend vs husband/wife. This is relevant both to non-monogamous people, and unmarried individuals for whom the importance of their relationship isn’t dictated by its legal status.
I’m a lesbian and somehow I manage to walk down the street and not ogle women I find attractive, or cat call or degrade them, or touch them without permission, or interrupt their daily lives, it’s almost as if I’m treating them like human beings despite my attraction to them. What an insane concept.
omg same
We were arguing about dress code in a meeting at work. And while my department knows I’m queer the other departments did not. As people (men) were saying that women showing skin and wearing tight clothes was distracting. I spoke up finally and said.
“I’m attracted to women.”
Everyone turned and looked at me and I was like “uhhh” so I finished.
“I’m attracted to women and I can still do my job. Regardless of what someone in my class is wearing. I can still teach. So why can’t you?”
Pretty sure “money can’t buy happiness” is meant to actually mean “don’t neglect emotional health and caring for the people in your life in the pursuit of more wealth than you need”, but instead middle-class and rich people use it to tell poor people “don’t strive to have financial security even though I have it”.
