HOW DO YOU MAKE A GUY
Depression Quest
This is a really interesting interactive fiction game. I can honestly say that the experiences held within are accurate to my struggle with depression.
Also, I did really good on my first playthrough. I learned what not to do when I made all the mistakes in real life.
So today Angelina Jolie had double mastectomy, which is the removal of one’s breasts, to prevent Breast cancer. So instead of praising Angelina on her bravery, men on Twitter decided to ridicule her, even calling her stupid for removing her breasts. For those of you on Tumblr that are attacking Feminists about being delusional about sexism against women and misogyny here’s your fucking proof that sexism and misogyny exists.
She had herself gene tested and found that she was almost certain to get breast cancer, which took her mother away at 50 years old. I think she’s incredibly brave to put her health before her appearance. Given the choice between almost certainly getting a life threatening illness and combatting it with painful chemo vs a preventative surgery, she went with the surgery. There’s nothing wrong with that.
And she is coming out publicly with it to be a symbol of encouragement for many other women going through the same choice, despite the fact that she had to have known it would garner attention like this. I think she is incredibly brave and her actions are worthy of respect.
Wow, a woman made a life-changing decision to alter her appearance in a way that has the distinct capacity to devastate a person, because she wanted to spare herself CANCER. Let’s call her an attention-seeker and mourn the most important part of her—her boobies!!! That’s all a woman is, right? A set of boobies that cries for attention too often.
PS if she was almost certain to get cancer, she not only would’ve had to go through chemo (which is terrible), but the treatment might not have worked and she might well have lost her breasts anyway. AFTER suffering a life-threatening illness. Or the cancer could’ve spread.
I hope these people never have to face a similar decision.
I’ve heard people say “I’ve seen a lot of backlash against sexist things said about Angelina Jolie, but I haven’t actually seen anyone say these things.”
Here they are. These are the fucking things.

SHARE TO SAVE TUMBLR!
- Let’s try and get 100k notes
A review by one of the folks sums it up perfectly:
“What worries me about Yahoo! buying Tumblr is how it would choose to incorporate the website into its email and homepage features. One of the reasons why Tumblr is so unique is because it’s a niche market. By adding more users who don’t fit into this niche, it would make it more difficult for communities to develop within Tumblr, and Tumblr would have to change to accommodate these new users. Tumblr as a website is not the kind that you can sign up for in a day and be on your way. It is a website crafted so that you can immediately post but must spend several weeks, sometimes even months, to build a community. With new users who would not be willing to spend time growing a community, Tumblr would have to be changed, which would alienate its current users. Those users have spent time and effort to make Tumblr what it is today, and they are the ones who spend time on the website daily. A user who is checking onto Tumblr because it’s attached to their homepage is not going to be as strong of a user nor as dedicated. By changing the website to suit this new user, you would lose the strong users while building an undedicated usership.
To any website that would think of buying Tumblr, they must understand that it is a website that cannot be changed to make it more user friendly to a casual blogger. I think that many Tumblr users would be less worried about a buy-out if they were promised that their communities and ways of using Tumblr would not be changed. No one is going to mind Yahoo! buying the website and gaining a few extra million dollars per year from the minimal advertising; what we will be upset with is if a company like Yahoo! then changes the website to increase casual users and decrease dedicated users. Yahoo! would gain nothing by losing this “cool” group of bloggers in an age group they so desperately want to reach, so they must cater to these individuals by leaving the website exactly as is.” - houseoftombombadil
As much as is does sound like a load of bullshit for someone to buy Tumblr, it’s a possibility. I Personally think it should stay independent and I hope David Karp keeps a hold of it like his own child. Or we make enough noise to where such major changes (if bought) will not happen. I would hate to see Tumblr turned into an advertising dump.We’re not a ‘hip fad group’ to be marketed to. I hate the fact that’s all we look like to businesses in the end.

#actors who are actually their character
the greatest casting ever.
Even better when you think about how Dan got a place for himself in NY to continue his career, Emma went to a school in USA, and Rupert bought a fucking ice cream truck.
Follow your dreams Rupert
I didn’t know this. So I looked it up and - HE ACTUALLY DID.
‘I keep my van well stocked. It’s got a proper machine that dispenses Mr Whippy ice cream and I buy my lollies wholesale – 50 for a tenner – so I never run short.
I’m not allowed to sell my merchandise. I’d need a licence for that. ‘I tend to avoid July and August, but the rest of the year I’ll drive around the local villages and if I see some kids looking like they’re in need of ice creams, I’ll pull over and dish them out for free. They’ll say, “Ain’t you Ron Weasley?” And I’ll say, “It’s strange, I get asked that a lot.”It makes it even better that he just GIVES the icecream away. [Source]
rupert is the hero we all deserve
you go man with your truck
