If you are an adult on the receiving end of sexual attention from a minor, the only appropriate response is a firm, non-negotiable “no.” Not an “I would, but the darn law…” not, “maybe when you’re eighteen,” a “no.” It is your job as the adult to be responsible, and to not abuse the power differential between you. What the minor wants is irrelevant to your obligations. The only appropriate response is “no.”

to anyone with a history of alcholism in their family and is yet to be 21: be careful. its hereditary. its learned as a coping mechanism. sometimes it just happens.

when you turn 21, go ahead and enjoy a couple drinks! (if you feel comfortable with that.) and then chill out. if you find yourself drinking more than 4 times a week, seek help. try to stop. at least be on the lookout for triggers that lead to you drinking.

you can be an alcoholic at 21, you can be an alcoholic at 16. dependence on alcohol doesn’t care about age or background.

you can be sober. you can live life without alcohol. you don’t have to be like your parents.

You don’t have to drink to have a good time.

Sometimes, drinking can lead to a really BAD time.

Alcohol is in no way required for a good social life.

If the people around you say otherwise, maybe they’re not the right people.

And when you use it as a coping mechanism, then try to stop, it will be hard. Maybe you’ll relapse. Maybe it will take you a few tries. Maybe you’ll go two days, then your resolve will crumble. Then you might make it free for a month or two, then something will happen to remind you why you started drinking in the first place. Those days will be especially hard. There’s nothing wrong with stumbling, just keep trying!

don’t let anyone pressure you into thinking you need to drink

dont forget to tell someone you love that you love them, thank people who deserve to be thanked, be more patient on people having a hard time, be more considerate, understanding, and be kinder, always.

this-tragic-affair:

PETA: They’d rather spend their money on publicity campaigns than on the animals in their care. PETA killed 73.8% of the animals in their care in 2015 (x)

FCKH8: Is a for-profit company that exploits oppressed groups for money. They’re also wildly uninformed, and spread misogyny, cissexism and bi/panphobia, as well as stealing their posts/designs (x)

Autism Speaks: They spend most of their money on researching a way to eliminate autism, heighten the stigma against autism and don’t have a single autistic person on their board (x)

Please support other, better charities, and feel free to add any others you can think of to this.

Susan G. Komen for the Cure: CEO makes insane amounts of money, they deny a lot of requests for wigs/help with treatment/etc., and have attempted to sue other charities that use the color pink as part of their anti-breast cancer campaign. ( x x x )

The Salvation Army: They promote the hatred of LGBT+ people, work with fundamentalist Christian groups to support conservative politics and rip off and exploit workers. ( x x x )

Wounded Warrior: They take money that should be spent on veterans and blow it on huge opulent parties for the company bigwigs. 26 million in 2014 alone wasted! ( x x x )

^ Important reminder to NOT waste any money donating to these groups

Reblogging because of the added info about Wounded Warrior.

A good way to know if a nonprofit you’re donating to is allocating their money in the right way is to check out their Charity Navigator rating: http://www.charitynavigator.org

Signal boosting, the bell ringers are out in force, and this info is too important.

“Old people believe all that bullshit Fake News on their facebook home,” say I, a tumblr youth™, as I reblog an indignant social justice-flavoured post from mic dot com without fact checking. 

BTW, mic dot com has multiple tumblrs and some of them are as follows:

• micdotcom
• the-future-now
• the-movemnt
• this-is-life-actually

And if you aren’t already aware, they are a shit company that uses its indignant social justice-flavored posts for clicks even as they do things like fire their four-months-pregnant Connections editor the week after her wedding, without warning. AFTER RUNNING A STORY ABOUT HOW THE USA NEEDS BETTER MATERNITY LEAVE/PROTECTIONS.

This, after they DID NOT fire the guy who lied about a death in his family so he could go build a treehouse and blog about it.

Also 99% of their ~top notch news~ is Huffington Post-style aggregation and NOT original reporting.

SO. Side-eye anything and everything you see by them, because there’s a good chance it’s just clickbait.

Thanks for putting out their other blogs, I’ve seen the eye-rolling shit from the-movement already.

Don’t forget blatant misinformation they put out

The founder is also former Goldman Sachs.

*AIR HORN NOISES*

There’s never a bad time to re-up this post, but today Mic has been Mic’ing around in spectactular fashion.

Today, the founder just laid off half the editorial staff, including the only woman reporter of color in the newsroom.

– Mic is laying off staff as it pivots to video

– Mic Lays Off Dozens Just Weeks After Promising Not To

– Twitter thread by Sarah Amy Harvard, the now ex-only-woman-reporter-of-color

TL;DR – Mic.com is a crap site that treats its people like crap. It doesn’t deserve your reblogs. On the plus side, it’s an aggregator, so I promise that news is somewhere else.
