do all the jeff goldblum stans realize that he’s on his third wife and she’s literally half his age

Half his age, as in she was born in 1983 making her 35 years old and an adult with adult agency and life experiences to balance out the inexperience and power dynamics that make age gap relationships questionable at best and predatory at worst?

Like I get where you’re coming from, a lot of the time there is good reason to side-eye wide age gap relationships. But there’s also sometimes nuance, like the fact that they met and got engaged when she was 31, and as near as I can find from a quick google search, his other marriages although having ended, did not end for awful or violent reasons. Sometimes people just realize they made a mistake or their needs change, and they are allowed to do things to rectify them, like responsibly end a marriage for the sake of those involved rather than continue torturing each other.

Also if the objection is to how many times he’s been married, his second wife
Geena Davis (also in her 30s when she married him)

has been married four times. Is that unacceptable too?

I’m not trying to be hostile and I don’t particularly care about him either way. This just seems like such vague phrasing designed to provoke an inflammatory response and I can’t seem to find any receipts to back it up other than the fact that he has indeed been married three times, married a younger woman in her 30s, has a son with her, and has talked openly about how they go to couples therapy to deal with their shit, which is actually, if you think about it, a very healthy thing to do.

And for what it’s worth, his first wife
Patricia Gaul was born in 1945 making him the younger of the two (1952), but
making them of comparable and compatible ages when they got married to each other in
their 30s. Like I’m just not seeing the behavior or someone here who is a
repeat offender of chasing after vulnerable young women in the same way say, Drake is blatantly grooming a 14 year old girl.

#StopIslamophobia

If you ever have to witness this bullshit, you should offer up any loose piece of clothing to replace the scarf (jacket, your own scarf, anything should work from what I was told), and remove the victim from the scene. At the very least take her out of eyesight from others until she is A) calmed down from the assault and B) able to cover herself once more.  And feel free to call it out for what it is, a hate crime and assault. 

That is definitely a hate crime and assault.

She should take administrative action and inform everyone of this teachers name.

Hari Nef is helping to normalize transwomen’s bodies and identities in a really important way that if you’re cisgender you may not have thought about

Nef goes on to explain the difference between her photoshoot with Velencoso, versus how transgender women are typically photographed in fashion editorials. “images of trans femmes being loved rarely exist outside of pornography,” Nef wore. “We tend to be hyper-sexualized and objectified within the cisgender gaze. Either that or we’re dehumanized as scum or (just as bad) untouchable goddesses.”

The Body Shapes of the World’s Best Athletes Compared Side By Side

Health and fitness comes in all shapes and sizes. Every single one of these athletes is a certified bad-ass.

I’ve posted this before but it’s worth reblogging!

Just a reminder – if you’re drawing a team superhero book and more than one of your characters has the same build YOU’RE DOING IT ALL WRONG

Always reblog

This is excellent.

I just got a car and started driving again so I was thinking about some safety things for D/deaf/HoH drivers. One huge concern is the possibility of being pulled over and encountering the police.

I have a magnet similar to this on my car in case of that situation

I also keep a notepad and pen in my glove box with my insurance card and registration. I keep everything is in one place so I won’t have to reach around and look like i’m searching for “something”

I also found this article with more information—

Too many deaf folks have been killed by police, already. Stay safe!

National Coming Out Day is coming up (October 11) and I just want to remind everyone:

1) Please do not out anyone (even if you “think you are doing them a favor.” Trust me when I say you aren’t) and make sure you don’t accidentally do so.

2) It is okay to be in the closet. Please do not feel pressure to/obligated to come out because there so happens to be a Coming Out Day. (Do it for you if it’s what you want).

3) don’t “come out” as LGBT+ as a joke. Don’t “come out” as kinky/a furry/whatever, either.

4) Don’t force/coerce your friends and/or loved ones to come out, and do not get mad at them if they choose to stay closeted.

5) don’t come out as an ally
