Don’t ever be in a relationship with someone who is perfectly fine with going hours/days without talking to you.
what? hours? what does this post mean? i think it’s healthy to have time apart and still be able to love each other without constantly having to talk or see eachother. you shouldn’t be that dependent on someone or rely on them to give you a sense of security and comfort whenever you need it because that’s not realistic
Says someone who is probably neurotypical and doesn’t have dependency issues lmao
“Dependency issues” isn’t an excuse to expect someone to talk to you 24/7 100% of the time. You can’t make your mental illnesses someone else’s cage. People need time and distance sometimes. Just cause you’re depressed or have anxiety or any other kind of mental illness that makes you codependent doesn’t mean that your partner has to sacrifice their own happiness and sanity for you. Codependency is toxic. Not being able to let your partner breathe is toxic. Being upset because your boyfriend didn’t reply to you for two hours is not okay. You can’t use your illnesses against other people, it isn’t fair.
to the american girl that called out ‘wow that girl is fucking ugly look at her’ when i got on the bus, who then proceeded to say ‘don’t worry, they don’t speak english in the uk’ when her friend told her to shush cause i might hear.

taurus: why would you fight a taurus. what did they ever do but love and support you. (chance of winning: 80% but at what cost)
gemini: this is a tricky one because if they win they’ll probably talk shit about you to everyone, but if you can distract them for long enough you can probably get a solid hit in. fight a gemini. (chance of winning: 65%)
cancer: an easy win, just look at them and they’ll run away, but watch out for their signature move of trying to drown you with their tears (chance of winning: 85%)
leo: leos are constantly surrounded by a posse that could probably fuck you up. if you fight a leo do it one-on-one. (chance of winning: 25%)

pisces: a pisces won’t even realize you’re fighting them. you can most definitely fight a pisces but it won’t be much fun. (chance of winning: 95%)
quick reminder: hitler took a sign of peace in the buddhist community and tarnished it and used it as a sign to promote his agenda’ so when buddhist people found out that their symbol that was only ever used to display a sign of peace and was a clear sign of their religion, they didn’t argue and whine like children over trying to fly this symbol after the events of the holocaust, they all as a group decided that it was best to never use the symbol again, and even had signs in remote buddhist villages that were reminding others they could no longer use this symbol because it’s meaning would be forever tied with the millions of innocent people that were killed under the use of the symbol
so i don’t fucking get why it’s so hard for white people to let go of this symbol of oppression; since this flag has never had any connection to peace and it never fucking will
I am inspecting the Sandra Bland arrest documentation (available to view here) and I actually… think I have found… some fucked up shit…
Here is a sample of Sandra’s signature from every signed page except for page 7:
I underlined strange spelling errors in the paperwork because I’m not familiar with American police policy and was unsure if documentation would be created anew for each inmate. I’ve enlarged her surname in each of these pictures, because this is where I found a discrepancy on page 7:
For reference, page 7 is the female inmate intake form, which is the form in which Sandra states she is not taking any medication:
compared to the unsigned page 2, in which she states she is taking medication:
It’s kind of hard to spot - and to be honest, if I didn’t deal with contracts on a daily basis at my own job, I might not have spotted it - but that B is not the same on this signature. I noticed a difference in the way the base of the letter was formed, and on closer inspection, it’s apparent that it has been formed in an entirely different way to any of the other signatures in the arrest documentation, which is unusual for a signature as the individual generally writes it the same way each time. That’s, y’know, the point of a signature.
I’ve made some comparisons of my own to show exactly how this signature differs from all the others.
Firstly, here are the other signatures again:
And here is the signature on page 1 compared with the signature on page 7:
Here are my own attempts at replicating each letter B. The
first B is a copy of the letter as it appears in the image. The second is an
exaggerated depiction of the letter to show how the letter was formed. The arrows on each second picture show the direction of the line I was drawing to form the letter in one fluid moment without having to remove my pen from the page (as you would in a signature).
This is a copy of the letter B as it appears in Sandra’s signature on pages 1, 4, 5, 9 and 10:
And this is a copy of the letter B as it appears in the signature on page 7:
This image shows each individual component / pen stroke required in order to form the letter in each signature:
As you can see, the only stroke that these two letters have in common is the first downward stroke. The second stroke takes the letter in an entirely different direction - Sandra usually forms an upward stroke behind the first one, then comes around to form the two curves, then makes an upward stroke to join the B to the next letter. The signature on page 7, after the initial downward stroke, makes a horizontal and upward stroke to form the two curves, then a downward stroke to form the base of the B and join it to the next one.
This difference cannot be explained due to normal signature variation. No-one’s signature looks exactly the same each time they sign it, but they write it the same way – they make the same fluid movements with the pen. The letters are formed the way they usually write them, and any apparent variation is simply due to circumstance – pen pressure, paper quality, time etc. This signature is not the same signature as the others. There is no reason for Sandra to form her B this way in one signature only. The only conclusion to be drawn here is that Sandra did not sign her name on page 7.
I also noticed this funky looking area on the very first page (the booking sheet) which definitely looks like the paperwork has been doctored, but without seeing the actual paperwork, it’s hard to speculate whether the actual arrest template has been amended (ie all booking
sheets use this edited template and have this unusual area on them) or whether
Sandra’s has been doctored after the fact.
I don’t think it’s uncalled for to ask the Waller County Sheriff Department to explain the inaccuracies in this arrest paperwork, and I strongly suggest that people inspect the documentation themselves to see if anything else is amiss – I know literally nothing about the American police system, so I can only spot errors like this. I don’t know if any of the actual information is inaccurate. I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if it was.
I wanted to have a go at drawing of my version of Centipeedle. In the brief moment you saw her body shape, it seemed she had thinner arms and a medium body too. I would love to see Centipeedle healed.
Tonight I decided to walk home, a further distance than I normally would. The bus wasn’t coming, the weather was nice, and I thought the exercise would feel good. I turned on my music, but kept my headphones down around my neck so that they wouldn’t impede my ability to hear what was going on around me. I stayed in fairly populated, well-lit areas. I kept my shoulders back and my chin up so that I looked confident. I put my keys in my fist so that they would be out and ready if I needed to slash or punch anyone with them. I looked around frequently to keep an eye on any changes in my surroundings. I slowed down and veered to avoid any alcoves or darkened areas where someone had the potential to be hiding. I looked out for anyone in my vicinity and made a quick judgment of how easily they could overpower me, how likely I was to outrun them. I listened hard for new footsteps. I made close note of escape routes.
I spent the entirety of my pleasant walk home assessing my risk of being raped, robbed, or murdered. It bugs me that I found this necessary. But the thing that bugs me the most is knowing that there will be people who read this who think, “she’s being crazy/melodramatic/paranoid,” and they are almost certainly the same people who, if something terrible HAD happened to me on my walk, would think, “well, what did she expect to happen” or “she should have been more careful” or “she deserved it.”
