hey guys just here to say that the new online safety act in the uk has blocked the suicide hotline
this is extremely problematic for very obvious reasons and i have no idea what the fuck this country is fucking coming to
childline has also been restricted
if you’re a uk citizen and still haven’t signed the petition please do so
even if you’re not a uk citizen please reblog to spread the word !!!!!
this isn’t safety, it’s censorship
I’ve been trying to be less political on my main blog and keep it on my side one but this effects my everyday life rn so please just deal with it.
the reason this is so important is that this whole thing was supposedly put in place to protect children online. or at least that’s what the government claimed it to be. Their words, It was about protecting children.
Childline provides serious help for children being abused or taken advantage of in their homes as much as it does online. I was so close to using it so many times as a child and had I it most likely would have helped me where the social workers did not. I am terrified of checking my lgbt youth groups website just in case that becomes blocked. Not that you should only care when it’s something you enjoy threatening to be blocked. Just because they might go after queer spaces doesn’t mean you shouldn’t care that they are currently going after adult content, Wikipedia is currently in a legal battle with them about not removing content.
It’s disgusting that they are hiding behind this whole protecting children bull when they also pull this. Maybe this is a hot take but I’d rather a kid or a person be able to access the fucking suicide hotline than get upset because someone who has a ‘weird’ or not as socially excepted kink can access their kink stuff in a safe environment.
The government shouldn’t be able to control what kids or adults have access to because shit like this happens.
The government doesn’t care about children. If it did, children wouldn’t be starving in our streets.
I’m in the UK and have just done a quick search for UK suicide hotlines, I haven’t found any blocks or age restrictions (yet). I’ve accessed the following websites and got their helpline numbers with no problems.
Childline: 0800 1111
National Suicide Helpline UK: 0800 587 0800
Samaritans: 116 123 (Wales 0808 164 0123)
Switchboard (LGBT helpline): 0300 330 0630
It’s still worth sharing and signing the petition, so please reblog.

swinging-stars-from-satellites:
this is, as the kids say, frying me (a glasses wearer)
HE THINKS HIS PERSONAL ATTRACTION TO A PROBABLY TEEN FUCKING MATTERS. POINT AND LAUGH AT PATHETIC MAN
… no he fucking doesn’t? He’s an opthalmologist, and he’s guessing her glasses prescription? Do you always try to drum up crowds to laugh at strangers after you woefully misread one comment or is today just not a good day for you?
Wow it’s almost like there isn’t ANY context nor explanation. Excuse ME for having a problem with shitty men which this one very much seems with the out of context images.
There is if you know who the guy is and how to read,he’s talking about her prescription glasses. This guy is not shitty,he worded his words wrong trying to talk about her prescription.
And Paige isn’t a teenager,she’s 23.
SO SORRY, I COULDN’T HAVE KNOWN THAT BECAUSE ONCE AGAIN THERE IS NONE OF THAT CONTEXT. Stop making shit up about my reality and fuck off.
The bullshit reblogs and anons “so are you gonna apologize for slandering doctor [never heard of him] [forgot what else]” and “wow. you suck.” Are not fucking okay.
It is irrational to just assume everyone knows who the hell that is, the context of this specific out of context thread, and that everyone just has a Twitter.
No, I will not apologize for reacting in a typical internet call-out fashion at apparent misogyny.
It’s almost like someone could have INFORMED me in a normal fashion what the context was because I CLEARLY DID NOT KNOW.
Get a grip of reality and stop trying to start something. Anyone else making up reality will be blocked, I do not owe any of you shit.
The context you needed to figure out this probably wasn’t misogyny was all in the original post. “I probably could’ve phrased that a little better” followed by OP saying “me, a glasses wearer” indicates that a) there was a misunderstanding, and b) that misunderstanding was related to glasses. That should’ve given you enough pause to question if your immediate first reaction was correct, and either Google “glasses minus 1” or use a single click to open the comments and see if there were other interpretations.
Being wrong sucks, and getting lit up by a popular blog for it sucks even more. But an apology and a little bit of laughter at yourself could’ve spared you a lot of embarrassment.
The man’s user name is “Dr. Glaucomflecken”.
Someone with good reading comprehension could have added up the context clues and gone ‘Is this man an eye doctor?’
And then checked.

Can we include darebee.com with ao3 and wikipedia on our list of really good nonprofits with excellent services that we stan?
It’s a free, no sign-up, no ads fitness resource created by professionals who view this as activism (fitness should be accessible to everyone), and it’s very thoughtful and thorough.
Features I really like:
- all instructions for workout routines are diagrammed on single pages with a clean, easy to read layout
- there’s 30 or 60 day programs you can follow if you, like me, don’t know what to do. they take you through a rotation of workouts so you’re working different muscle groups on different day for a specific purpose
- there’s so much variety and there’s a filter so you can find the level and your goals and type of workout you wanna do
- you don’t need any equipment
- some of the programs are RPGs or adventure stories! How’s that for motivation. There’s also badges and achievements or something but I haven’t looked that closely at how that works yet
- they’re nerds. they name workouts after D&D classes. There’s a Lannistrr workout, a batcave workout, a witcher workout
- I’ve only scratched the surface
I’m doing this really easy one to start out
If you don’t understand from the picture they have an Exercise Library playlist in YouTube so you can see what all the moves look like in motion!

ALTthe rat king is now also a woven blanket/tapestry! on preorder until Aug 27 2025, estimated to ship in Oct 2025. They can be hung up as a tapestry or used as a blanket - fully machine-washable and only gets softer with use 🐀

“i don’t comment on ao3 because i don’t wanna be annoying or weird” skill issue + you greatly underestimate the power dynamic here, writing multi paragraph comments is like feeding a bunch of deeply insane and possibly starved ducks at the park and watch them go completely mad over having received a piece of bread

Fellowship Shenanigans
Storytime
Legolas: Well, obviously I didn’t see Bilbo, no one did, and the Dwarfs were kept in the dungeons.
Gimli: For no good reason!!
Aragorn: Oh no, not this again.
Boromir: Could someone please tell me what they’re on about??
Frodo: We’re just talking about Bilbo’s adventure.
Gimli: I wouldn’t say Bilbo’s-
Pippin: It’s Bilbo’s adventure.
Boromir: Ohhh!
Pippin, to Boromir: Do YOU think that Thorin and the others could have killed the dragon on their own?
Boromir: Sorry little one, I don’t know the story.
Everyone: What?!
Aragorn: Even I know the story, and I’m the only one who didn’t know someone on that trip.
Legolas: My father told me what happened.
Gimli: MY father told ME what ACTUALLY happened!
Sam: Everyone knows the story!
Frodo, to Boromir: You’re literally the only one here who doesn’t know Bilbo, aren’t you?
Boromir: It seems so.
Pippin: This needs fixing.
Merry: Agreed.
Aragorn: And this is the most important thing to be doing right now?
Pippin: Yes.
Aragorn: If you say so.
Frodo: You start, Sam, you tell it the best.
Sam: Thank you, Mister Frodo. Ehem. In a hole in the ground, there lived a Hobbit-
Legolas and Boromir: You live in holes!?!?
Aragorn: Yeah they do.
Boromir: That’s weird.
Legolas: That’s tragic!
Merry: It is not!!
Aragorn: It’s a bit weird, if you’re not used to it.
Gandalf: Hardly.
Gimli: I, for the record, think it sounds great.
Legolas: No one asked.
Sam: EHEM!!
Several Hours Later
Boromir, extremely confused: Wait, so how long did they spend in Mirkwood?
Hobbits: A week.
Gimli: A month.
Legolas: A year.
Aragorn: Legolas, we’ve already established that your perception of time can’t be trusted.
Frodo: Bilbo says he was there for a week at least.
Gimli: Oh come on! It was far longer than that!
Legolas: Well only one of us was actually there, so-
Boromir, to the Hobbits: Why is half your story about food?
Sam: What kind of a question is that?
Legolas: Did Bilbo really miss the entire battle?
Merry: Oi! Judgy much!
Frodo: He did an extremely good job of not dying, thank you very much.
Aragorn: For which we are all very grateful, just try not to break his streak, will you? Pippin, talking to you.
Pippin: I have no idea what you mean by that, I’m sure.
Boromir, to Aragorn: So what actually happened??
Aragorn: Mate, I’ve heard at least five different versions of this story, three of which were just Bilbo in varying levels of drunk. I have no freaking clue what actually happened, only it was pretty amazing. Also it’s past midnight, everyone go to sleep! Legolas, you take first watch, with anyone except Gimli.
Gandalf, to Aragorn, once everyone else has settled down: You know what amuses me?
Aragorn: What?
Gandalf: Not one of them thought to ask me what happened.
Aragorn: Would you give them a straight answer if they did?
Gandalf: …
Aragorn: That’s what I thought.
