My emotions are valid*

*valid does not mean healthy, or good, or to be privileged above common sense and kindness

A distinction for anyone who is young and hasn’t figured this out yet:

You are allowed to have whatever emotions you want. No one can control your emotions. Emotions are healthy responses to things.

You are not allowed to have behaviors that are harmful just because you have certain emotions. Your behaviors are what you can control, and they are far easier to control than your emotions.

You can be jealous about someone or their talents until you turn green, but it is harmful to yourself and to that person if you try to sabotage them because of it. You can be so angry you can literally feel your temperature rise, but this does not give you permission to rage at others.

Your emotions are valid. They are always valid. You are a person of value. However, you behaviors are not always justified just because of those emotions. You may not be able to control you emotions, but you can certainly control your behaviors.

You internet-savvy kids might be laughing right now, but some of us older folk (and newbies) might need a little help on the tech side of tumblr.

I learned to do this shit the hard way when I first started. I had to search down instructions, and even then I needed the Rosetta Stone to decipher them because they were written by people who had obvious tech knowledge.

Simply uploading a photo/gif into a text post is pretty easy. You click the camera icon in the post’s tool bar, and browse for a saved image in your computer.

But a lot of people don’t know how to effectively post an image into their reblog comments without it turning into a frustrating grey square.

So, if you want to reblog something and add a photo/gif comment to a previous post, this is how I do it:

1) Open up an empty text post (in a separate window from the post you want to reblog) and upload your desired image into the empty text post using the little camera icon

2) Once the image has loaded, click the ‘html’ button in the tool bar of that text post, and a box will pop up with the html code for the image

3) Highlight the html code, right-click on it and ‘copy’ the code

4) Forget all about that text post, you’re done with it

5) Open up the window with the post you want to reblog.

Note: NEVER use the little ‘tree’ icon in the post toolbar to upload images to the post, it sucks and it’s useless and is the cause of a lot of sad grey squares

6) In the post you want to reblog with your photo comment, click the ‘html’ button in the toolbar of THAT post. A box will pop up with the html code of the entire contents of the previous posters.

7) Put your cursor right under the very bottom piece of code, in the next available line. Right-click and ‘paste’ your copied code. Press ‘save’ and your image will appear in the proper place in the post you want to reblog

8) Press ‘reblog’ and voilà, no grey square when it appears on your dash.

This also works for picture/gif submissions.

If you want to submit images to other blogs, just follow that same formula and use the html code instead of that fucking little tree icon bullshit.

There may some better way to do this if you have a fancy browser or program that makes it easier (that I am unaware of), but I have neither so I do what works.

Oh nice guide :3

I’m writing a current events essay about Vine shutting down and I tried really hard not to use the word “meme” so I said “humorous internet exclusive jokes” I hate myself.

you: meme

Me, an intellectual: humorous internet exclusive jokes

I just got my grade back and I got a 100%

Was it worth my dignity though?

Ugh.  We’re seeing a lot of this lately.  So let’s go over a few things, shall we?

Like we said a couple of months ago, liberals – who have demonstrated throughout history that they have no fucking clue what to do about fascism – always seem to trot out the same old tired horseshit about antifa:

-you can’t fight hate with hate;
-if you fight fascism militantly, you’re just as bad as they are;
-nazis should have the right to publicly advocate and organize genocide because “free speech;”
-if we just ignore the fascists they’ll go away;
-shutting down racist events won’t change their minds about their racism;
-the police and the state will protect us from fascists;
-we need to “shine a light” on the racists’ bankrupt ideas, so everyone can see their ideology for what it is, in the free market of ideas blah blah blah

All of which essentially boils down to:

NAZIS AND COPS: we want to beat up minorities. We’re going to do that now.
ANTIFA: we aren’t going to let you.
LIBERALS: uwu don’t fight hate with hate. Antifa is sooo violent.
ME: they’re literal fucking nazis who are beating people up.
LIBERALS: that’s their opinion and you gotta let them. It’s the rules.

& yet you never see liberals confronting WW2 veterans with this “logic,” do you?

As we’ve said before, iberals aren’t exactly experts when it comes to dealing with fascists and their  liberal “strategies” of non-confrontation, “debate,” and giving fascists free publicity are counterproductive, dangerous, and irresponsible,  The people that have been dealing with fascists for decades – and the victims of fascism – know what it takes to stop fascists and racists from doing real harm.  As Holocaust survivor Frank Frison put it: 

“If fascism could be defeated in debate, I assure you that it would never have happened, neither in Germany, nor in Italy, nor anywhere else. Those who recognised its threat at the time and tried to stop it were, I assume, also called “a mob”. Regrettably too many “fair-minded” people didn’t either try, or want to stop it, and, as I witnessed myself during the war, accommodated themselves when it took over … People who witnessed fascism at its height are dying out, but the ideology is still here, and its apologists are working hard at a comeback. Past experience should teach us that fascism must be stopped before it takes hold again of too many minds, and becomes useful once again to some powerful interests.”   

So who’s right about how to stop fascists?  Let’s hear from three different perspectives (starting with Frank): 

FRANK FRISON, HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR: “If fascism could be defeated in debate, I assure you that it would never have happened, neither in Germany, nor in Italy, nor anywhere else.”
ADOLF HITLER: “Only one thing could have stopped our movement – if our adversaries had understood its principle and from the first day smashed with the utmost brutality the nucleus of our new movement.”
LIBERALS: No need for violence, just write a really witty editorial about it 🙂

You decide who’s right.
