“Obviously ‘bihet’ offends a lot of bisexuals, so we need to come up with a better term for bisexuals in m/f relationships.”
How about… and hear me out… this may sound crazy…. but you… continue to call us bisexual… because (and I realize this gets confusing for you people so read this next part slowly) it turns out we continue to be bisexual regardless of who we’re dating.
Okay, this shit gets me all heated up. I’m just a cisgay dude up in here, but I have Some Opinions about this nonsense.
Bisexual people in relationships with folks of the other gender are not only themselves still bisexual (I’m really ashamed of a bunch of all that this shit even needs to be said, like c’mon), but their relationships are queer.
Yes, I just said that straight people can be involved in queer relationships without they themselves being queer.
The reason for this is simple: folks who are in relationships with queer people will always have to deal with their partner’s marginalization impacting their relationship. Always. Even if their bisexual partner chooses to be entirely stealth about their queerness (and that’s their right, by gods, fight me about it), their relationship is still impacted by that very choice existing. It’s a facet heterosexual relationships never have to negotiate.
Frankly, bisexual folks have to deal with active marginalization from multiple angles: heterocentrist and homocentrist. And in case I actually have to say this aloud? We should not be fucking marginalizing our own, y’all. That makes you a bad person, and you should feel bad.
To sum up: Bisexual folks are queer as hell. Straight folks can be in queer relationships without themselves ever being queer. And FFS please stop harassing bi- and pan-folks already, man. It’s 2018. Find hobbies that are not shitty.
I love this addition to my post so much thank you.
I love everyone in this bar.
(Also, having to read “bihet” with my own two eyeballs has probably taken years off my life from the sheer rage that fills me at is existence)
8. I’ve never broken a bone, been skydiving, gotten a tattoo, given birth, gotten a ticket (hell I don’t even have my license), gone scuba diving (scuba walking, yep), gone skinny dipping, or met someone famous, though I was part of a performance for the former prime minister and I was probably on TV in the background because of it.
It’s what keeps some people sane. It’s what drives the world’s most skilled and accomplished athletes, the most intense gamers, the hardcore hobbyists, even many of the most talented artists, musicians and actors – flow is what you get when unstoppable drive meets an unflinching will and unlimited dedication.
Flow is being utterly, truly “in the zone”. And it’s one of the most amazing feelings there is.
This is why finding a sport, or a hobby, or a martial art, or a handicraft, or a new video game, or any skill-based activity that uses focus and requires practice and repetition is so beneficial for things like depression and anxiety and overall mental/physical well-being.
This quote “flow is what you get when unstoppable drive meets an unflinching will and unlimited dedication” makes it sound like you have to be some kind of super motivated and dedicated person to achieve this mental state, but, yeah no, we’re all capable of it. And why chilling out to rock some video games or do whatever you need to for that kind of mental relaxation is NOT a waste of your time.
I wonder if this is why, when I try running, I sort of crap out and meh. But when I dance, I go for it and kick ass.
This is what happens with me in sparring vs running. I hate running with a passion. Even at the peak of my fitness, when I was in Taekwondo and training for tournaments, I could not run more than like 400m/0.25mi at a go. Put me in a sparring match, though, and it’s a whole different ballgame. I could go for 15 minutes straight at full strength, and if forced to I could go another 30 minutes at half-strength. Meanwhile, I can’t even run for more than like a minute straight.
I wish I knew the exact time and date that harry told snape ‘there’s no need to call me sir professor’ so that I could take a moment of silence to remember the moment each year
Judging from the context of the chapter…
We know that it’s September 2nd. I’d put it between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM. (They have breakfast and then a free period. They have Snape’s class before their break, which was before their lunch.)
But in the UK first period typically only starts at 9 AM. So free period from around 9-10 AM and Snapes class from 10-11 AM I’d say.
Okay so 10am-11am every September 2nd is now an hour dedicated to remembering the most glorious piece of dialogue ever spoken by a fictional character
ok this just appeared on my blog with ample time for you all to prepare because apparently I stumbled across it months ago, and scheduled it to post on september first. executive function TRIUMPH!!!!!!!
Worth noting that tomorrow is the 20th anniversary of the greatest burn in history
A moment to appreciate tomorrow everyone!
I am so glad this post came around again today
Still the 2nd in my time zone. But I’m definitely late for class to celebrate this sick burn.
The National Museum, in Rio de Janeiro, just went up in flames. There were more than 20 million objects in the museum’s collection. The building itself housed the Portuguese Royal Family, and later the Brazilian Imperial Family back in the day.
History and culture gone, just like that. All went up in flames.
This hurts so much to look at.
Apparently there were signs of decay all over the building, with actual wiring exposed. The museum was underfunded for the past 3 years and couldn’t afford research and maintenance.
