Like all those dudes who have to stand on their tippy toes to kiss their girl. All the short boys who get picked up and spun around by their boyfriends. All the short boys who have friends that tower over them. Short boys with small feet and short legs. Dudes with flat chests and narrow shoulders. Skinny short boys. Chubby short boys. Muscular short boys. Short trans men Boys who have to stretch to reach EVERYTHING. Short boys who spend hours trying to find clothes that fit them properly with their unique sizings. Tall boys are considered so sexy and masculine, let’s take a second to love on our short dudes.

leo:
sometimes they feel powerless, as if something was sucking their energy out of them. challenges that seem impossible can bring them to their knees. sometimes their "roar" is a soft, whispering voice. their pride can make them roar incredibly loud though. if they feel like you make fun of them you'll get to see their teeth and this is not how you want to experience them.
virgo:
sometimes they are mean on purpose, hurt on purpose. they may try to control others emotionally. they do this to be let alone or to make someone stay. sometimes they feel lonely and down. they also create little worlds where they hide then. they can have problems with saying or even knowing what they want and it confuses them and makes them feel uncomfortable.

saggittarius:
the longer they look for them, the more "flaws" they'll find in themselves. they are bright people who live in so many colours but sometimes all they see is black and white, maybe grey. sometimes deep thoughts keep them awake and although they usually have many friends they don't know who to talk to. then they feel like the whole word has given up on them. they are known as funny, charming people but sometimes they feel like they're carrying the weight of everyone's happiness, like they're responsible for it, and that can be too much for them from time to time.
capricorn:
they can be furious. sometimes, when it all gets too much, they yell and kick things and start treating the people around them badly just for standing where they stand, just for being there. they like to know more than they should. they rarely speak about how they feel. they tend to hide their true feelings from everyone around them and when they finally talk about things that bother them no one knows how to comfort them. they don't say what they want but expect others to feel what they want and when no one understands them they get angry.
aquarius:
there can be a lot of secrets behind the pretty face of an aquarius. the best kept can be their sadness. although they are bright personalities who love to laugh and make jokes, aquarius often have experienced things that still bother them even after a long time. they won't always speak about it, they may try to cover it, but some day they will tell everyone what bothers them. it's actually hard for them to let go of their past.
pisces:
they can be the most revengeful people. sometimes they know nothing, neither friends nor family. if they want to make someone pay for something they will do so, they will get their revenge. although they love a lot and love intensely, they also know hate. they try to avoid this feeling but they know it too well. actually pisces are haunted by a lot of things, mostly their own mistakes. they sometimes can't find peace. they fight for justice but sometimes they go too far. too far with many things. they tend to be self-destructive.
On February 16, 2014, Yvette Smith, a 47-year-old mother beloved by her family and community, was shot and killed on the spot by local police as she opened the front door of her home. A full 18 months later, as her case finally came before a jury, it’s disturbingly clear that the police lied, repeatedly, in an attempt to cover up their murder of Smith.
On the day of her murder, Smith called 911 for help because two men in her home were arguing over a financial dispute and she felt it was getting out of hand. She had nothing to do with the dispute and was an innocent bystander—a victim, even. When the police showed up, both men were already in the front yard and it appeared that the dispute was settled. This should’ve been case closed, but it wasn’t.
The lies and the coverup began immediately. The entire department was involved.
What you need to know:
Police claim she was holding a firearm and they acted in self-defense. This is a lie. When Sheriff Terry Pickering issued the statement, he was fully and completely aware that Yvette Smith wasn’t armed. No weapon was found on or near her. He knew this. The officers on the scene knew this, but Sheriff Pickering issued that statement anyway. It sounded better.
Knowing that the evidence and scores of eyewitnesses saw that she was unarmed, police later retracted the statement, but have given absolutely no answers or held anyone responsible for the earlier lie—which was the primary reason given for shooting Smith in the first place.
Officer Gaskamp literally admitted that he made the whole damn thing up. He also stated that he couldn’t remember telling this lie to the lead investigator, until they played him the recorded interview where he stated the lie over and over again.
It was discovered that the officer who shot and killed Smith was found incompetent by another police department. The evaluation said the police officer who killed Yvette Smith struggled with “common sense,” but was hired by a neighboring department anyway.
Apparently people are trying to regulate access to queer spaces based on oppression again. The conversation became specifically about aromantic aces, which I am not, so I didn’t reblog it, but I’m going to make a separate post.
First of all, I absolutely know aces who cannot come out to their family because of fear of getting disowned. I don’t know their romantic orientations; I don’t think it’s relevant. They are worried about being cut off because they are ace. They cannot talk about being ace safely around their families. You wanna play Oppression Olympics, go talk to them.
Second, as writingfromfactorx said, this is the reason I was (and largely still am) terrified of off-line queer spaces. I spent three years working up the courage to go to my campus’ Pride group, and in the end I only did it because they had a special meeting for Ace Awareness Week. They turned out to be lovely people, who have thanked me for my ace perspective even when I’ve had to correct them about a couple of things. They want to be inclusive of aces, and I am really, really thankful for that. But going to queer spaces always feels like a gamble to me. I just happened to get lucky this one time. It’s not a chance I’m likely to take over and over again.
Also, despite the fact that my romantic orientation is “people who are nice to me,” that I’m non-binary and so is my sweetheart, that no one on the street who sees us kiss is going to think we’re straight, I DON’T WANT TO BE PART OF A QUEER ORGANIZATION THAT REFUSES TO RECOGNIZE MY ASEXUALITY. If all you wanna focus on is who I’m dating as an indicator of whether or not I should be allowed in your space, fuck you. I’m ace, first and foremost. All the rest is secondary. So if I’m allowed in your special little club but you want to keep my aromantic friends out, no thanks. I stand with the aces. I stand with the aces who have been hurt and belittled and mocked and degraded for who they are. I stand with the aces who have been lucky enough to avoid that. I stand with the aces who felt or feel broken or wrong. I stand with the aces who didn’t, who learned about asexuality soon enough to miss that period of confusion. I don’t want to turn this into “us vs. them,” but if someone else is, I know what side I’m on.
And it’s asshole gatekeepers who kept me from realizing how queer I am. They told me “aces aren’t queer,” and that kept me from realizing that hey, I like girls (and people of all genders.) Hey, I’m not cis. And when I did figure these things out, I had no one to talk to about them, because queer spaces had made it plenty damn clear that they didn’t want me. So I had to deal with it all on my own, when queer resources would have been really helpful for me. So congrats. In your quest to keep out the “appropriators,” you’re hurting actual queer people whom you claim to help. Think about that for a minute.
this started on one warm up and thing and ended up as this idk here you go
caliborn is so brutal that he doesn’t even give the alphas time to die a heroic death he just straight up murders them, so they keep coming back. or something
