If you’re one of the close to 80% of King County residents who haven’t voted yet/whose votes haven’t been counted yet and it’s maaaaaaaaybe because you accidentally recycled it, don’t despair.

You can still vote by today’s deadline if you act right. This. Minute. 

All you have to do is go here and print a replacement ballot and envelope. Then stick them in one of these ballot boxes (THERE ARE TWICE AS MANY AS THERE USED TO BE!!!) or take it to the post office right this minute to ensure it gets postmarked TODAY. 

Do it from your work computer! Your boss won’t mind! Because democracy!

Then come party tonight. But you’re only invited to party if you voted.*

*This is not strictly true because there are lots of reasons why people are disenfranchised including but not limited to a checkered legal past and we don’t hold that against you; voter disenfranchisement should be illegal. We just strongly, strongly encourage people who can vote to vote.

We all know what erectile dysfunction is but literally no one is ever taught what vaginismus is and it can cause people to feel extremely lost, broken, and cause people to take their own lives.

Raise. Awareness.

For the uninformed, vaginismus is when the vagina painfully tightens and spasms when faced with pressure, usually from anything trying to insert into the vagina. It’s the reason I can’t wear tampons, and why many people can’t have vaginal sex without severe pain.

There’s not a lot of treatments, and there isn’t a single one that is for vaginismus exclusively - they’re all medications or treatments to treat symptoms, but not the causes. In fact, for a long time doctors waved off vaginismus as a purely psychological disorder in cis women.

Seriously, this is so unaddressed and uncared for in medical circles. Please spread awareness, even if all it’s for is to let those who have it but don’t have a name for it finally be able to understand what’s happening to their bodies.

i didnt even know this existed and i have a vagina wtf??

I don’t know if this has made it’s way on tumblr yet, but after searching something on here, I went back to my dashboard and a site like this was redirected to me:

Do NOT, under any circumstance, OPEN THE FILE WHEN IT WAS DOWNLOADED!

The website itself in the URL bar looks fishy enough as it is, I was lucky enough to delete the file and then check the internet to see of this was real, and multiple sites can confirm this is a virus!!!

Do NOT OPEN IT PLEASE, IT IS A VIRUS!!!

Instead, go to your downloads folder and delete it!!!! Then, until this has cleared up, PLEASE go to your Google Chrome settings, go to advanced settings, and check  “Ask Where to Save Each File Before Downloading” so that this doesn’t happen again!!!

Please, please, PLEASE signal boost so no one gets a yucky virus on their computer!!!!

I always ignore this kinda shit anyway but ima reblog this for my followers who don’t.

• It’s annoying.
• It gives an imperfect metric for how many followers you have. (I would estimate about 25% of my “followers” are porn blogs run by bots).
• It makes pulling up your activity page iffy even if you use Tumblr strictly for SFW content.
• It’s problematic for individuals who have struggled with sex and/or pornography addictions, especially since many of the blog names are not obviously porn names, causing you to preview the blog.
• It exposes minors to illegal and harmful content.

And to many of us:
• It’s disgusting.
• it’s degrading to human beings, especially women.
• It makes Tumblr a less classy, less reputable place.

Please share this if you agree this is a serious problem.

Jon started a new job in product development (I’m a proud lady!) It seems like everyday he brings home new useful facts about food, skincare, or beauty products that makes me go, “HOW COME I DIDN’T KNOW THAT!”

I thought I would pass some along to you. 

Here’s one, about suntan lotion!

You can mostly trust the labels on sunscreen (meanwhile, in food, labels like “organic!” and “cage-free!” are a joke). HOWEVER! Sunscreen labels are heavily regulated, but make sure you buy sunscreen with the words “broad spectrum.” That means will protect you from the harshy-harsh rays.

Also, terms like “waterproof” sunblock and “sweatproof” sunblock have been banned, because they mean nothing. The new term is “water resistant” and usually those still need to be re-applied about 30 minutes in the sunshine (not after 30 minutes in the water).

(Maybe this isn’t news to you, but it was to me!) Knowledge is power and all that!

g*psy is not a synonym for boho, hippie, fashionable, interesting, wanderlust, or anything else in that vein. 

It is a RACIAL. SLUR. If you are not Rromani, do NOT use it. It’s really that simple. We travel because we are forced to. Not because we want to. Many live in forced poverty. If you are not a member of our race, STOP USING A SLUR THAT IS DIRECTED AT US.

stuff to know about latinx ppls:
• we don’t all speak spanish
• if we do speak spanish, we probably have different dialect, pronunciation, slang, and even curse words, based on nationality / origin / where we currently live
• we r not “”“Spanish”“”
• we don’t like being called hispanic
• not all of us ARE hispanic
• not all latinx countries make empanadas, arepas, pupusas, horchata and so many other foods. usually each food is regional, meaning that carribean latinx and central american latinx probably make different cultural food
• we have different music
• not all of us are mexican
• mexican culture doesn’t equal all latinx culture
• we can be black
• we actually come in multiple races and different skin colors
• cinco de mayo is only a Mexican holiday and only for a specific town in Mexico and it’s NOT Mexican independence day
• tequila is only mexican
• there’s multiple versions of tamales
• we may have different definitions for our words, for example; quesadillas can be a cheesy tortilla or a pastry, pastelitos can be cupcakes or tamales, a torta can be a sandwich or a cake, etc.
• your highs school spanish is spainard Spanish which almost no latinx speaks
• we all have different cultures based on location, region, country, location within that country. so stop assuming we’re all the same
