animentality:

Sometimes people being overly optimistic all the time is really fucking annoying. Annoying at best, disrespectful at worst.

People who never get upset and who are always being positive or whatever, you’re thinking, oh they’re the best people, but I call bullshit about that.

I genuinely wonder if they care about anything.

Like do you hear yourself?

Human beings need to be upset sometimes, you smiling fuckfaced goon.

Stop trivializing other people’s emotions with your condescending “it’s ok, everything’s fine.”

It’s NOT fine.

And the fact that it isn’t fine is important.

We can change our circumstances if we accept that things aren’t fine.

You blathering in my ear about how a gun pointed at my face is just peachy because at least you’re not being shot (yet) is the least productive-

Listen positivity in dark times is fine. It’s great sometimes, in fact.

But there’s a fine line between someone recognizing there’s a problem and not letting themselves be overwhelmed by it.

And refusing to see a problem because of some ignorant moral superiority complex because you can let someone else just deal with the “real” problems.

Hi there, I’m Rachel! Everyone keeps messaging me and asking me “what was your secret to losing weight?” so I decided to make this post. This is how I was able to lose 40 pounds in 2 months with almost no exercise or change in diet.

A few months ago, my friend who’s studying to becoming a dietician told me about a fruit from Southeast Asia called Garcinia Cambogia. The fruit increases your metabolism & helps slightly suppress your appetite so you don’t overeat. Despite feeling skeptical I decided to try it. I ordered a pure extract of the fruit online. Now I’m able to eat the same food, and burn more fat at the same time. This is what I do every morning: mix the supplement with lemon water + honey to jumpstart my metabolism for the day, then drink it once more before dinner. That’s it. I ate the same way as before, worked out once a week & my fat melted away like butter. The way I see it, if it worked for me.. it can work for anybody.

EDIT: people keep asking me where you can get the supplement. I got mine here, because you can get a free month supply for only $5 shipping with the coupon at the bottom!! I’ve spent more than that on a salad before 🤦🤦

Can someone from the science side of tumblr explain how this works

Garcinia cambogia is a small, tropical tree fruit shaped like a pumpkin. In the late 1960s, scientists discovered an acid in the fruit similar to citric acid in fruits like oranges and lemons. That acid, called hydroxycitric acid, or HCA, blocks the enzyme that converts sugars and starches into fat for long term storage. With this fruit you can literally eat more pasta and bread, and gain less weight.

Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, Canada has an A+ poster on consent.

TRU Community knows that 

Consent is

  • Active – Just because they didn’t say “No”, doesn’t mean you have consent. Only “Yes” means “Yes”.
  • A Choice – Everyone has the right to feel free to say “yes” or “no” without pressure, threats, or manipulation.
  • A Process – Consent requires ongoing conversations with lots of TRUST. Just because someone says “Yes” to one thing, doesn’t mean they say “Yes” to ALL the things. Everyone has the right to change their mind at any point.
  • Based on Equal Power – If someone is underage, drunk, asleep/unconscious or you occupy a position of power or authority over them, they cannot consent.

Consent is NOT 

  • Assumed – Being in a relationship or having sexual history with someone does not mean that you have consent. Communicating about consent is always necessary.
  • Pressured – If yo have to convince someone to say yes OR if they are afraid to say no, then you don’t have consent.
  • Silent – The absence of “NO” is not a “yes”. Pay attention to your partner’s body language and non-verbal cues.
  • Incapacitated – You can’t get consent from someone who is asleep, unconscious or incapacitated.

Since we’re talking about consent, it’s important to recognize that we are learning, working and living on the traditional, unceded territories of the Secwepemc peoples. Please go to www.landbodydefense.org for more information on the connections between consent and colonization.

This comic meant a whole lot to me. It was sincere in its depiction and treated the issue through the eyes of a grounded person. Not some godly hero saying everything is better than it seems, but a person trying his best before bringing her somewhere who can actually help.
