reblogging here because i can see this being relevant to anyone who’s ever tried to get out of an abusive relationship
Reblogging because that last comment made me reread the whole thing in a new light and realize this could be vital information. So, putting it out there for everyone, and hoping no one ever really needs it.
you guys are always like “i want equality!” except gay people are better than straight people and women are better than men and poc are better than white people and trans people are better than cis people
if you claim you want equality, but put someone down because they’re privileged, that doesn’t make you an advocate for equality, it makes you an asshole
It’s a beautiful evening in February. My wife and I are sitting at the fireplace, when suddenly a terrible image appears on the screen of my computer.
My wife looks at me. As I look in her terrified, cardboard eyes, filled with tears, she takes a deep breath, before saying with her shivering voice “It’s what you’ve always wanted, dear. Do it.” My hands start shaking and a lone tear rolls down my cheek. “I can’t, honey. I’m not like that anymore.” “I will do it.” a small voice behind us says. As I turn around, my eyes cross with my son; our son. “You don’t have to do this, Benedict.” I say, as I hold his hands.
Ignoring what I told him, young Benedict Popper-Are Optional holds my wife’s cardboard body in one hand, and her long, beautiful string in the other. With tears in my eyes, I turn my head away. A loud pop sounds behind me and I watch in terror as I see my wife’s confetti spread across the room.
“It’s what you’ve always wanted, dad…” my son says, putting his small, cardboard hand on my shoulder. “Yes,” I say, “but not like this… Never like this…”
what the actual fuck
My name’s Benedict and I feel emotionally connected to this story. I feel a strong sense of purpose coupled with unforgivable guilt.

HOW HAVE WE NEVER NOTICED THIS BEFORE!?!?!?
Guys there’s no notes on this post. We broke another post on tumblr…
OKAY GUYS PLEASE LISTEN UP BECAUSE THIS IS SOME SERIOUS SHIT
Most of you have probably never heard of this little country in eastern Europe, but we’re here and we’re in danger. My hometown, Varna, is known for its heavy rains and storms, accompanied by awful winds, for years. Yesterday however, happened something we’ve never seen before. A suburb at the far end of the city, Asparuhovo. has been absolutely flooded, as you can see from the pictures above. 10 people were found dead (2 children among them), 3 are still missing and a child, found on the rooftop of a car is alone in the hospital, his parents working outside the country and unable to reach, his grandmother also missing. The lightnings yesterday night left this and other parts of the city without electricity and/or water until an hour or so ago.
Another eastern city, Dobrich, and a central one, Veliko Tarnovo are in the same situation with 2 dead and 1 missing, with an amber alert announced for disastrous situation.
So PLEASE, if there’s ANY way you can and would like to help, you can do the following:
if you are Bulgarian or currently residing in its territory, please send a Text Message to 17 777 with the following text “DMS VARNA” (without the quotes);
if you are outside the country, but would still like to donate, you can use the following account (or inside but would like to donate a bigger amount of money):
