In the spirit of the eleventh month of the year, as well as the famous cancer awareness movement that comes with it–and because it would be uncomfortable for me to go without shaving my legs and underarms for more than four days–I have decided to make a post to spread awareness about cancer in men instead.
Did you know?
Cancer mortality is higher among men than women (196.8 per 100,000 men and 139.6 per 100,000 women).
In 2018 alone, there have been 1,276,106 new cases of prostate cancer worldwide.
Prostate cancer incidents are most common in Australia and New Zealand, followed by Northern Europe, Western Europe, and North America, respectively.
Mortality rates due to prostate cancer are highest in Southern Africa, followed by the Caribbean, Middle Africa, and Polynesia, respectively.
Approximately 0.4 percent of men will be diagnosed with testicular cancer at some point during their lifetime.
The number of new cases in testicular cancer have increased in the United States since 1975.
In 2018, it is estimated that there will be 9,310 new cases of testicular cancer and an estimated 400 people will die of this disease.
The percent of new cases is the highest in young men aged 20-34–over half of the new cases of testicular cancer are in this age group. This is also the age groups where the most deaths occur from testicular cancer.
How can you help?
The following are charities all focused on prostate and testicular cancer:
Additionally, if you don’t want to shave or your company or school has a strict dress code about excess hair, you can support someone who’s participating in No-Shave November as well!
I’ve just made a bet against my Dad that if this post gets 2 million notes then i can get a Puppy. [like the one underneath]
I didn’t realise how much 2 million was and i couldn’t take that number down now. It should look like 2,000,000 in the notes bar.
He’s convinced that this will never reach that number, and very confident about it so Let’s prove him wrong!! He thinks this will get about 25 notes beofre it’s left in the dust.
You don’t have to do it for me. But for the point and to prove him wrong. He has to pay and everything so let’s make him suffer with it!!
I’m counting on you!!!
Remember it’s 2,000,000!

I usually drink a ton of water (I carry a water bottle around) and I’ve still needed reminders to actually drink, so these reminders are actually helpful, even if remembering to drink isn’t generally an issue
i genuinely believe that 2012 was the optimal tumblr experience. like if you didnt live through 2012, you havent fully understood how much of a hell site this is. to jog some ppl’s memories:
francieum
quirkybrittany
justgirlythings
“I like your shoelaces” “I stole them from the president” and people actually fucking doing this in public
we still called porn fics “smut” and “lemons”
“you must be fun at parties”
cole sprouse’s tumblr social experiment, and some people taking it so seriously that they threatened mass suicide
mitt romney

“Fuck you watson” somehow being praised as the best comeback possible?? ok lol
hipster side of tumblr vs fandom side of tumblr, and all those pictures of the two coexisting to bring some sort of peace? as if we were at war with each other?? wtf was up with that
the dumbest fake stories holy shit, and everyone believed them
benedict cumberbatch everywhere
that sherlock gif of benedict cumberbatch looking into a door’s peep hole and people saying how if you cover one side of his face he looks confident but if you cover the other side he looks sad, so they said he’s the best actor in the world or whatever
gangnam style everywhere
people being shamed from using memes or even saying the word meme
“Oh, you facebook people think tumblr is boring? Well, we’ll find you…Supernatural fandom, grab your demons! Sherlock fandom, grab your Watsons! Doctor Who fandom, grab your Tardises! Harry Potter fandom, grab your wands! Homestuck fandom, grab your strife cards! Hetalia fandom, grab your pasta!” proceed for 1628519 more fandoms
“im pretty sure thats taylor swift” “no thats becky”

potato jesus (i’ll admit, this was actually funny)
the reblog button being at the top of posts
cuil theory, aka “i give you a hamburger”
27 comments on a post just saying “INSTANT REBLOG” or “PRESS PLAY”

in general i think new york is very good for my social anxiety because no matter how much of a freak i’m being i know it’s probably not the weirdest thing people have seen today
case in point: i felt bad about bringing my unwieldy luggage onto a crowded train, until the man sitting next to me pulled a live fish out of his backpack
Video games don’t have to have good graphics to be good:
Video games don’t have to be about combat to be good:
Video games don’t have to be linear to envelop players in their worlds:
Video game bosses don’t have to be difficult to be fun:
Video games don’t have to lack color simply because they are “post-apocalyptic”:
Video games can have lighthearted art design and still carry deeply dark themes:
Rethink video games.
But also don’t think that dark games can’t be beautiful in their own way:
Or that difficult bosses can’t be fun:
Don’t that games with combat in them can’t be light hearted:
Or that violent games can’t also be silly:
Don’t think that playing the game competitively ruins the fun:
Or that dreary, colourless, post apocalyptic games hold any less story value:
Just because a game or playstyle isn’t good, or beautiful to you, doesn’t mean its any less valuable to someone else who does appreciate it. At the end of the day, it makes someone happy, and thats the greatest value of any art form.
Oh, hey! This is the best addition to my post after 100k notes! ❤
