There are a lot of articles floating around about Serena Williams right now. Most of them relating to her awesome Wakanda-inspired catsuit. Some people don’t like it even though it could literally STOP HER FROM DYING. (It was designed to prevent blood clots.)

But that isn’t what I wanted to talk about. 

This is sort of a public service announcement. 

You might want to consider not reading internet comments on stories about Serena. Even if the story has a positive slant, I still wouldn’t recommend it. If you are of sound mind and have great mental fortitude, it’s still a crap fest and you probably shouldn’t go there. 

I made that mistake and I ended up losing faith in humanity and getting rather depressed. It’s similar to when there is a story about Michelle Obama. I think the comments about Serena were even a bit worse. 

It was this perfect storm of racism, misogyny, sexism, body shaming of muscular women, and transphobia.

You’re probably wondering… “Transphobia? She isn’t transgender.”

And you’d be correct in saying that.

But to misquote Dr. Ian Malcolm, “Assholes find a way.”

I think it upset me partly due to the randomness. There didn’t seem to be a catalyst for many of these comments. People were just blurting out terrible things that did not match the context of what was being discussed. It was just pure hate for hate’s sake. 

Serena is not even that controversial or divisive. She is really good at swinging a racket at a ball. She seems like a good mom. A good role model. And yet, I have never seen such concentrated meanness.

To counteract this layer of comment filth I acquired I’d just like to say…

I think Serena is great and she looked boss as heck in that anti-death catsuit.

Okay, so I’ve seen some of the tags on this, and a lot of it is making fun of this dude for thinking he was straight when it was so clear he wasn’t.

But ya’ll don’t get it. This is EXACTLY what it’s like to be bi. If you grew up in any sort of environment where LGBT was Not Accepted, and you had any inclination toward the opposite sex, you just ran with that, because that’s all you were ever taught to look towards. And because for the longest time even the media was all ‘you’re either gay or straight’, forgetting that the B in LGBT has been there for quite a fucking while, you had no outside stories or icons you could turn to for guidance. 

No one teaches you what being in a same sex relationship is supposed to be like or feel like, and what’s worse, most likely all you know is a caricature of what a homosexual relationship and/or person is, so your own experiences really won’t match up. So none of what’s happening to you makes sense with what you know.

So I can 100% fully believe my dude here thought he was straight. Until society teaches what it also means to be bi, this will neither be the last nor weirdest story you ever hear about a bisexual awakening.

Give the dude a chance.

Yeah, I think the dude here may be Bi.

He definitely is. And he’s hella valid.

Browsing antique stores is always the most wild fucking time. I found an insanely cursed Sean Connery Barbie in my favorite antique store which is nothing new there are like 20 super cursed dolls in that store but they sell men’s flannels for $12 so

The antique store with like 50 pocket dimensions underneath it is playing “What A Feeling” from Flashdance. There’s a giant bloody wooden tooth hanging from chains. This is so surreal

FYI I was using bloody as in there is red splatters on the roots of the teeth not the expletive

Shaggy Rogers is here and he has a giant beard

There is a Greco Roman helmet in one of the the pocket dimensions on top of a typewriter

THERE IS SECRET LIBRARY ???????

People have definitely fucked up here. I can sense it.

This door doesn’t even wiggle there’s no way that lock is what’s keeping it closed

What the fuck

Y’all I’m gonna die going up this

This place is so terrifying im looking for bodies now

Trying to find exit. I’m actually starting to get anxious now.

Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Jules walked into silent hill

So I have absolutely been inside this specific antique store (unless this is a pocket dimension that exists in many places, the store I know of is in downtown tacoma, WA). It’s spooky as hell, you can’t ever find anyone working there (the one time I did find a clerk he looked like he hadn’t left this garbage mansion in years, his hair was ginger and way too long and way too crunchy), it’s always disturbingly quiet despite being on a main downtown street, and to leave you have to meditate on that desire to summon an exit less you be trapped forever. The floors are incredibly uneven with lots of ramps and rooms on a slope. The library is my favorite part. There’s chairs and shit hanging from the ceiling all over the place. There are several false doors and windows. The inside in undeniably larger than the outside. This place is filled with a miasthma of chaotic energy.

To heal your soul, I recommend going to Mad Hat Tea just around the corner which also has a very real Vibe but it is healing and calming to a magical degree. A classmate of mine said once she had a terrible cold and went to Mad Hat between classes and asked the woman to give her something good for colds, she drank it without question and immediately her cold was gone. Shit theres so many like, old-magic-aura areas in downtown Tacoma guys, it’s crazy.

The University of Copenhagen in Denmark is home to a unique collection of Ancient Egyptian papyrus manuscripts.

A large part of the collection has not yet been translated, leaving researchers in the dark about what they might contain.

“A large part of the texts are still unpublished. Texts about medicine, botany, astronomy, astrology, and other sciences practiced in Ancient Egypt,” says Egyptologist Kim Ryholt, Head of the Carlsberg Papyrus Collection at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark.

An international team of researchers are now translating the previously unexplored texts, which according to one of the researchers, contain new and exciting insights into Ancient Egypt. Read more.

straight boys are weak and pathetic, queer girls walk into the ladies changing room and see ten women naked, do they stare? do they say something inappropriate? do they make them uncomfortable? no because they have the common fucking sense to recognise when a situation is sexual and that people deserve the most basic level of respect to not be harassed, yet here we are banning shorts and low cut tops in school because straight boys are weak and pathetic

okay i made this post this morning and it has since had eighty two thousand notes, it’s been featured on reddit, facebook, twitter i’ve been sent multiple death threats and messages that i don’t even want to describe 

and i have to apologise

i’ve seen the error of my ways

straight boys are not ’weak and pathetic’ 

straight boys are weak, pathetic and fucking annoying

I will reblog this every time I see it posted
