Slut” is how we vilify a woman for exercising her right to say “yes”. “Friendzone” is how we vilify a woman for exercising her right to say “no”.

Marvel Comics makes history with a gay X-Men marriage.
Marvel Comics’ Astonishing X-Men is set to experience a new sound effect on top of its booms, whams, and sknits: the bong of wedding bells. Specifically, it’s the wedding bells of Marvel’s first gay marriage between longtime X-Man Northstar and his civilian boyfriend, Kyle. After pairing up the couple in 2009, Marvel is officially tying their knot in June’s Astonishing X-Men #51.

[TW: eating disorders]
The reality is that fat people are often supported in hating their bodies, in starving themselves, in engaging in unsafe exercise, and in seeking out weight loss by any means necessary. A thin person who does these things is considered mentally ill. A fat person who does these things is redeemed by them. This is why our culture has no concept of a fat person who also has an eating disorder. If you’re fat, it’s not an eating disorder — it’s a lifestyle change.

I will always reblog this because it is so so important.

I just want to nail this to every stable surface I can find. I cannot count the amount of times that I’ve seen fat folks being encouraged, cajoled, and even forced into behaviors that would be recognized as disordered eating/exercising patterns in thin folks.
Pretty much everything that’s done on shows like The Biggest Loser would be called out as pro-ana/pro-orthorexia in a thin person. Exercising past the point that it hurts, to the point where you’re throwing up, even injuring yourself? Berating yourself because you didn’t lose ENOUGH weight this week? Constantly talking about how fat is weakness and thinness will make everything better, about how you can’t stand to be your current weight anymore? Emphasis on weight as a sign of how much control, strength, and worth you have? Viewing food as bad, as a temptation to sin? Constant sharing and talking about tips on how to minimize food intake, how to lose weight?
That sounds exactly like every pro-ana/pro-mia blog I’ve ever seen. It’s also what fat people are told we need to be doing to ourselves until we’re thin.

There is so much truth in this.

I watched TBL the other day on Netflix, just to see if it’s gotten any better, or if they’re teaching healthy anything at all now. It’s still horrifying. Also, the above is all true.

Quote and commentary. This is another reason why I don’t feel comfortable censoring pro-ana content: the people who are involved are very distressed and usually very sick (and don’t fucking anybody dare say ‘no they’re not, because they’re not really anorexic’), and they’re only repeating everything they hear from every direction anyway. The only difference is that pro-ana sites admit that what they believe is disordered and say ‘but fuck it, we’re doing it anyway’, whereas magazines and television say ‘no, no, of course this isn’t abnormal, it’s all perfectly healthy!’ (I’m not saying I support pro-ana sites, but I definitely think it’s hypocritical to censor them.)

NEW VIDEO: “How To Stalk One Direction” - As always, I’ll be checking out Tumblrs who reblog - it’s a great way for me to find new people to follow/reblog :)
Tyler reads M, J-14 and other teen mags to catch up on 1D news… I hope he realizes that this is my daily life.
listening to Death Cab and The Postal Service on pandora and realizing how it was possible for me to be so mopey for my sophomore & junior years of college
there are so many feelings in this stuff.
anyone know of a tumblr with daily poem or creative writing prompts?
I need some writing inspiration
Reporter: I have a question to Robert and to Scarlett. Firstly to Robert, throughout Iron Man 1 and 2, Tony Stark started off as a very egotistical character but learns how to fight as a team. And so how did you approach this role, bearing in mind that kind of maturity as a human being when it comes to the Tony Stark character, and did you learn anything throughout the three movies that you made?
And to Scarlett, to get into shape for Black Widow did you have anything special to do in terms of the diet, like did you have to eat any specific food, or that sort of thing?
Scarlett: How come you get the really interesting existential question, and I get the like, “rabbit food” question?
The respect given to you if you’re a man in the entertainment business, and the respect given to you if you’re a woman in the entertainment business: all perfectly summed up in one idiotically thought out line of questioning.You know, I always did like Scarlett Johannson.
Dat side-eye.
Let me just hug you forever Miss Johannson.
PRAISE!
Haven’t even seen this movie yet, but damn. I’m just gonna have to, aren’t I?
Throwin’ shade!

Love that side-eye.
Her character had to go undercover to work for Tony Stark, and then she used her powers of manipulation to get information out of criminals and a demi-god. She watched her good friend get mind-controlled by Loki. HER CHARACTER HAS EMOTIONS AND STUFF.

I FREAKING LOVE SCARLETT JOHANSSON. People are always hating on her for no reason. LOOK HOW MUCH OF A BAMF SHE IS.
I’m totally obsessed with A Midsummernightsdream at the moment… so here have some fairy-Klaine..
Fairy-Klaine! I love Midsummer!!
