I just watched Season of Love and Christmas at the Ranch for the first time and this might be an unpopular opinion but I actually liked Christmas at the Ranch better. And as much as I like Dominique I did not like their character in Season of Love and I didn’t think them and their girlfriend in the film had any chemistry. I guess I’m just used to wayhaught lol. But, the other two couples definitely did and they were really cute, especially iris and mardou. But, Christmas at the ranch is so cheesy but it’s so great. It’s only $7 to rent and it’s a great watch.
We all want the CW to pay. To suffer for the years of abuse, silencing, and murdering of LGBTQ characters. We need to show them just how important that audience is, and how unacceptable we find what they’ve done.
The 100 fandom had Clexa. Supergirl has Supercorp. Supernatural had Destiel. The most “inclusive” network has been queerbaiting and hurting it’s LBGT fandom for years.
I hope the second season of The Wilds doesn’t focus on the group of boys on the island cause I really don’t give a single shit about watching a group of dudes having a giant masculinity contest

SIGNAL FUCKING BOOST
WHY WOULD YOU NOT REBLOG. IDGAF ABOUT YOUR BLOG THEME
For anyone that needs this!
Off topic, but somebody might need it
Tried this out today. It works well, no adds, it’s unobtrusive, and the kids like the cute animals. It’s quite easy to substitute harm for other dangerous coping skills, too. The average length of a craving is about 8 minutes and anything that can ground you through it will help.
Was literally looking for something to calm myself down because I’m in a constant anxiety state atm and when I opened tumblr, the first recommended blog was @puppydeathfarts and the first post I saw was this one. I have never seen or heard of the blog, but thank you, lovely entity, for unknowingly having a stranger’s back.
Being a person who went through stuff like this yes please-
but anyway!!!!! if you’re tired of period dramas about white lesbians in forbidden love, just watch more movies about wlwoc!!! our movies exist! our stories exist!!! just because they don’t get as much hype as carol/poalof/ammonite doesn’t mean they don’t exist!!! do your research and support more lesbian/bi/trans women filmmakers of colour! support dee rees! support cheryl dunye! support desiree akhavan, maryam keshavarz, sydney freeland, alice wu, tracey choi, shamim sarif, gazal dhaliwal, isabel sandoval, vera egito, vicky du, nisha ganatra, nahnatchka khan, zero chou, just to name a few!! yes it sucks that white stories are given precendence over theirs, but complaining about it while doing nothing to support them isn’t going to fix the problem. we shouldn’t just wait for the content we want to be spoonfed to us. it’s important to seek it out.

This isn’t a coincidence. Revolutions almost always happen when the population of a country is at its youngest and that’s a lot more true nowadays with social media.
Claudette Colvin was actually the first one to refuse her seat in Montgomery, Alabama to a white passenger. The movement chose to promote Rosa Parks as the figure for that form of protest because Claudette was a pregnant 15-year-old girl.
Barbara Rose Johns was a 16-year-old who organized a student strike protesting segregated schools. This strike, after gaining support of the NAACP, became a lawsuit that turned into Brown vs. The Board of Education and resulted in the desegregation of U.S schools nationally.
7th-grader Mary Beth Tinker, disturbed by the Vietnam War, decided to wear an arm band with a peace sign on it in protest. Her school suspended her. Her family filed a suit, Tinker vs. Des Moines, which reached the Supreme Court and ruled in her favor, ensuring that students and teachers maintain their right to free speech while in school.
Freddie & Truus Oversteegen were sisters who joined a Dutch resistance movement in WWII in their teens. They lured, ambushed, and assassinated Nazis and Dutch collaborators. They also blew up a railway line, transported Jewish refugees to new hiding places, and worked in an emergency hospital.
Our history books may like to showcase male figures, but behind every movement is a young girl ready to make a change. It was true then, it’s true now, and future generations of teenage girls will go on to inspire progress, whether they’re credited or not.
We were raised on these stories of fighting back against oppression, but then the people who wrote them or read them to us act shocked we turned out ready to fight facism even while being anti-social.
Maybe if our society was less fucked up we’d be less anti-social.
