SOLA GEMMA

Our ancestors told that a black poisonous snake would kill everyone here.

WE NEED TO STOP THIS!

Our genocide is being finished off and our cries our getting drowned out by the Olympics

The Dakota Access Pipeline has been approved and all our drinking water is going to get poisoned.
It started with a 2,000 mile run from Standing Rock to the White House.

This has been nothing but a demonstration that is deeply rooted in peace and prayer. Yes people are angry. People are frustrated. People are tired. People are willing to put their lives on the line and get arrested for the protection of water and lives when this pipeline breaks.

Women, children, and elders are standing on the front lines. Songs and prayers have been shared continuously throughout the days. We have seen officers break down from emotions and remove themselves. That is the strength and power being lived out on the protest line.

Pine Ridge, Cheyenne Eagle Butte, Lower Brule, Crow Creek, spirit Lake supposed to be there. Many SWO, but no camp for them yet. Poncas from OK. 500 +. People from Oregon, Cali, Montana, saying they are on their way.

STANDING ROCK NEEDS A GOOD LAWYER, to counter sue on behalf of all protesters, all tribes, all native ppl, for everything just as frivolous, emotional distress, ptsd, pain & suffering. All protestors are getting sued by pipeline company!

HELP STOP THE COVERING UP OF OUR GENOCIDE!!!

Is Louis Tomlinson The Victim Of A Character Assassination Campaign?

In light of news that Louis Tomlinson has apparently become a father, the One Direction star's behaviour vastly contradicts the media narrative that's been built around him in the past year.

Did you know that the internet never truly deletes anything? Here’s the original article I posted on the 26th of January (thanks to archive.org) and was deleted on the 1st of February. It was endorsed by the editor of Buzzfeed:

And despite generating over 100,00 views in less than a week was deleted along with my entire profile because Buzzfeed Community suddenly decided that I was a brand and self-promoting myself.

But now a similar (”identical” is frankly insulting to my writing) article written by someone who is Buzzfeed staff is suddenly okay and being endorsed by TMZ. (I wrote anonymously and therefore could not officially write for Buzzfeed…although they featured the above article on their non-Community homepage.)

I don’t even particularly care that much about the fact that Buzzfeed is now talking about Babygate. What bothers me is that Ellie Woodward’s article is written in a way that pins all of this on the ideas of fans and calls it some “crazy conspiracy theory”. I don’t care how other people write, but when it came to writing my article about Babgate I took particular precaution to state the facts about the sequence of events and asked the question, does this seem strange? This new article is a messy masterpost of random Tumblr and Twitter posts which takes all accountability away from the author and merely says, “Ooh this is what the One Direction fans are saying. They’re crazy! OR ARE THEY???” Give people a bit of credit to think for themfuckingselves. It’s true that both articles are putting forth similar information, but what does it matter that the fans noticed how insane the entire thing is? It’s not rocket science, it’s a clear case of liar, liar pants on fire.

Can everyone please just stop hiding behind the fucking fandom and just come out and say, “Yo, this is sketchy as fuck.” I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I don’t care if there’s a plan here. It’s a shitty plan and thus far the official word from the media has done nothing but made Louis Tomlinson and his fans look bad.

The thing about this article is that I started writing it once the birth was announced and it took me five days and many working titles. It was probably one of the most difficult articles I’ve ever written because the absurdity of the situation grew with each day and that has continued to happen. It is the only consistency with this situation, that it seems to escalate further out of control and out of the realm of what I can comprehend or believe every day.

Everything about this article is still true as it was predicated on the idea that there was a baby. I was aware of doll rumours when I published it but never did I imagine that theory would ever have mainstream coverage. It was something I myself was deeply uncomfortable with discussing publicly at the time.

I think the question asked by this article is more relevant than ever as we’ve seen Louis go from deadbeat dad to doting father to party boy to babysitter in two months time. I have yet to see how any of this coverage benefits his image, or the band’s for that matter. It’s so wildly inconceivable that the media would not only speak about a child like this but that it wouldn’t be slammed down by Louis or a rep immediately.

This is hands down the most ridiculous media spectacle that I have ever seen. No matter how this ends you cannot explain away the events prior to January 21st and you can not excuse the events since.

If someone is out to sabotage Louis Tomlinson and completely turn off the One Direction fandom they’re doing a pretty good job, so my question of who is doing this and why still remains.

Why Aro/Ace awareness is important to me

infinity-mechanism

I’m ten years old and my parents tell me I can’t invite my best friend to my party because he’s a boy.

I’m eleven years old and whenever we play truth or dare I get asked if I have a crush on anyone and my answer is always the same

I’m twelve years old and the phrasing of the question has changed from “do you have a crush” to “who do you have a crush”. I always pick dare.

I’m thirteen years old and the sexual jokes people make around me make me uncomfortable, not because of the nature of the joke, but because of the intentions behind it.

I’m fourteen years old and I refuse to play truth or dare. The dares I’m given always seem to involve other people in more intimate ways than the dares everyone else gets. I’ve also realised how fucked up it is that I would rather lick a door than endure being called a liar or a prude when my answer is “I don’t have a crush.”

I’m fifteen years old and an old childhood friend has asked me out. I feel guilty to the point of illness when I turn them down. My friends think this is hilarious.

I’m sixteen years old and I’m so afraid of showing anyone any kind of affection, physical or otherwise, for fear they may take it the wrong way, or make fun of me because I don’t. There are two people in the world I am willing to touch, and one is a family member.

I’m seventeen years old and I’ve just learned about the existence of aromanticism. My previous encounters with people identifying as asexual (all one of them) never mentioned anything about not experiencing romantic attraction, so the term seems more fitting when in conjunction with this new term.

I’m eighteen years old and the old friend who asked me out is messaging me again, making sexual jokes and implications. He asks me if I’m straight, and when I say I’m asexual/aromantic, he claims he respects that, yet continues his unwanted advances. I make the decision to not talk to him again.

I’m nineteen years old and my sister informs me that my mother is insisting behind my back that eventually I will “Find someone, and that humans always pair up in the end because of biology.” The implications behind this hurt.

I see people on here saying that “Pride” is about people expressing their sexuality, and accepting part of who they are, but I also see the same people saying that Asexuality doesn’t need pride, because they’re not discriminated against for ~*~not having sex.~*~ And I don’t know about EVERYONE, but from my experience, even unintentionally, people would treat me differently. Jokes would be made at me because I was uncomfortable.

Comments, instructions, pointed glances, any kind of interaction people could have, they would go out of their way to make some sort of sexual implication or suggestion, and it made me uncomfortable. What they said or did might not have BOTHERED me, but the reasons behind why they would do it. It made me feel like I was being singled out for being different. I felt broken. Parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc. etc. still ask me when I’m getting a boyfriend and they don’t seem willing to take “I’m not interested in that sort of thing” as an acceptable answer. My parents seem to gauge the success of my brothers on their girlfriends (which is shitty) and by extension make me feel like I’m failing (which is even shittier)

Only recently have I actually been able to open up to people. So much of my life has been me avoiding any sort of physical or emotional interactions with other people because I was petrified it would be taken the wrong way. Something as simple as a hug would be enough to make me freeze up.

Since I started identifying as aro/ace, I’ve been more comfortable making friends, more comfortable interacting with people, I actually hug like FIVE DIFFERENT PEOPLE NOW.

Anyway this ended up rambly but like. It’s just been really important to me?
