If you have been on Tumblr on the past couple of days, it’s likely that you’ve seen this post. I happened to stumble upon it randomly on my dashboard and usually, I scroll past really long texts but this one caught me by surprise because I recognized every single person in this photo. This was posted by someone I know very well who currently goes by the name Lexus Willow, but I know her as ‘Lex’. Lex and I were really close about four (maybe five? idk) years ago. We were best friends so obviously, I know each and every one of the people in that photo by name.
While true, her home life wasn’t ever ideal (her mom made us stop listening to ‘I Kiss A Girl’ at her 16th birthday party because they didn’t support that in their house) but honestly, her life isn’t as bad as she’s making it out to be. While her parents weren’t supportive of her being gay, the reason they are so harsh on her is because of her own dumb life choices. She has done tons of incredibly shitty things to her family that left be absolutely dumbstruck. She goes off with girl after girl, saying they’re the one, write them pretty songs but use them and uses her family as a springboard when she has nowhere else to go.
She admitted to cheating on her ex-fiancee with dozens of girls, but plays if off to everyone as she was the victim and everything was this girls fault. She uses the people around her, including her family. In fact, this one girl was at her graduation party, interacting with her mother and they knew who she was.
Lex’s life is far from perfect. She’s had a pretty rough past with being adopted and sure, her parents aren’t always 100% supportive of her lifestyle choices, but this isn’t a strict matter of her being queer. It’s her as a person. I normally wouldn’t really care that she’s getting attention for this but the fact that people are sending her MONEY to meet up with a girl she’s never met before (she does this a lot, btw) and say they want to write to Ellen is absolutely preposterous. Until Lex gets her life straightened out, this is not what she needs. She needs her family and you are all enabling her to continue on with her bad habits.
If you see posts about her, especially about donating money or writing to Ellen, PLEASE RESIST. There are so many more people who deserve this more than her and her family are NOT bad people. They aren’t evil. They truly want what’s best for their daughter, biological or not, and this is going to rip their family apart. I hope I don’t come across as a bitter person, but it honestly disgusts me that people are feeding into this when it’s not true.
If Lex sees this, I’m really sorry. I care about you deeply but this is going too far and you KNOW IT. You are stealing people’s money for your selfish needs and lying to them and it has to end. There are people out there who really are in horrible situations with no support whatsoever and they aren’t being heard but for some reason, people are eating this up, even though you’re the one who ripped your face off of that picture and have admitted to that. Please, please stop. I’m sure you could easily figure out who this is, maybe not, but I really think people deserve to know this. Your family loves you and this will tear them apart.
Just be careful with this money business everyone.
People take advantage of other’s good nature, ruin everything.

Some little kid said I was gay the other day. I wish this could have been my response, but instead I drew a bad comic.
Okay…is this guy wearing a Doctor Who T-shirt??
Not going to lie, but most of my t-shirts are DW T-shirts. I think I have a problem.
In the moments before she dies, a woman whose hair used to be bright ginger is visited by a man in a bowtie. She does not know who he is and thinks about giving him a piece of her mind till he moves forward and presses his fingertips to her temple. Memories flood her mind. People and planets and places she had saved alongside a long streak of nothing rush back to her. She remembers being the most important woman in creation. Then with a smile on her face Donna Noble closes her eyes and sleeps forevermore. The Doctor simply looks on with tears in his eyes as his best friend leaves this world with the only gift he could give her.

The milkshake: This is not limited to fast food nor to milkshakes. That ‘concoction’ is the industry standard artificial strawberry flavoring found in everything strawberry flavored that isn’t naturally flavored.
Chicken nuggets: Total lies. My sister works at the Tyson plant that provides KFC and McDonalds their nuggets. There’s no ‘pink paste’ stage. ’Reflavoring’ is an injection of mostly salt into the meat in order to give it some taste because modern day chicken is nearly flavorless. If you want to disgust people, show them the conditions of the processing plants that dismantle the chickens.
The pubic hair one: You eat more of your family’s pubic hairs cooking in your own home. You think you don’t shed once you walk in your own door?
Peanut butter: This is a cold hard truth of food mass production. There will be insects. You can never get rid of them or take them out of the process. The FDA places limits on how much can be allowed into specific foods so that food manufactories don’t get lazy and just say ‘Well we can’t keep it out.’ The FDA limit helps immensely because it makes these places try to keep the insect population down through keeping things clean.
Shellac: Oh my god this is so stupid. ’Shellac’ is an INGREDIENT. It’s a NATURAL PRODUCT produced by INSECTS. It is then PROCESSED into food-grade glaze or colorants, OR into wood and furniture polish. They don’t just take wood polish and dump it on your jawbreakers. Grow up.
Bacteriophages: The ‘phages of which you speak are used to kill the listeria virus. Listeria is a bacteria that attacks the immune system and has a one in five mortality rate. Bacteriophages? They’ve been used as an alternative to antibiotic medications in Russia and France for 90 years. That’s really disgusting and dangerous!
Coke: This is total and complete bunk. It would have been far more effective to point out that colas and carbonated drinks have been linked to weakened bones in those who overconsume them, but this is complete lies here. Again.
Salads: I think you mean propylene glycol. And again, this is bullshit. PG only causes reactions in those allergic to it. It has a very low toxicity and can only negatively affect human health if very large amounts are ingested very quickly and over a very short period of time. By which I mean ‘Find a vat of it and start drinking it and nothing else.’ Again you go for the lie instead of pointing out that fast food salads are processed and contain as much fat and cholesterol as most of the other foods offered by a fast food place.
Beef additives: This has nothing to do with fast food. This is common in MOST meats in the US. This is because the US has become so obsessed with the fat content of meat and making it ‘healthy’ that we have literally bred almost all the flavor out of every food animal breed we currently use. Flavorants are almost ALWAYS injected during processing or most of our meat would be bland and tasteless. ‘Flavorants’ typically being concentrated broth and/or salt and seasoning.
Cheese: Lies again. Only those cheeses labelled as ‘Pasteurized process cheese food’ and ‘Pasteurized process cheese spread’ match these stats. Pasteurized process cheese is simply a blended cheese made to have a sharp taste and be easily melted. Your lie here is that the 47% is referring to the cheese’s fat content, not cheese content.
This image is full of lies and misrepresented half-truths and anyone spreading this as truthful should rethink their approach.
TL;DR: just because it’s in a pretty image, doesn’t mean it’s true.
also about the vomit thing too, how many of you have just chugged sherbert? you’ve probably had more than 10 teaspoons of that at a time.
This is another one of those ‘OMG PEOPLE ADD CHEMICALS TO SHIT’ not realising that everything contains chemical be it synthetic or natural
anyone posting about same-sex marriage like we’ve just won an intergalactic war, can we talk about how badly trans people have been treated by the bill that’s just been put through the uk parliament?
trans people now have to ask for written permission from their spouses if they want to transition during marriage. that’s the right of a cis person over a trans person’s body. also, people whose marriages were previously broken up by the state if one or both partners was transitioning will not have their marriages recognised again – they’ll have to do the whole thing over.
this bill fucking SUCKED for trans issues, and the amendments attempting to resolve this were sunk by the same people who think that the “wrecking amendment” is bad for allowing everyone to have civil partnerships.
if you’re celebrating, that’s great, and you should – just remember that this is not marriage equality at all.
I have been searching for extra sources on this and I have found articles that back up everything except the part where a transgender person has to get written permission from a spouse to transition. Has anyone got any extra sources on that?
Sorry, should’ve fleshed this out some. I think as well that I should’ve clarified that it’s actually self-definition at stake. Heat of the moment stuff I’m afraid

How the media controls people.
The Woolwich attack has only just happened. A man was murdered violently on the streets by two people.
The government and the media have both jumped to some very serious allegations.
The BBC are already saying it’s a suspected terrorist attack. Creating panic in London.
No eye witnesses have said that they heard them say ‘Allahu Akbar’ at the scene yet the BBC has reported it. Seems like racial profiling to me. So the BBC is being racist.“According to senior Whitehall sources the people carrying out the attack were heard to say Allahu Akbar [God is Great], said our political editor.” what fucking sources.
Two men were shot by the police and are in hospital, so how did ITV manage to get a recording of one of the guys? Someones camera phone. If it is the guy who murdered him then it was a political attack.
Itv report says “Baghdad style violence comes to London”. At least 95 people died in bombings in Iraq on Sunday.
IDK things just don’t add up to me.using http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-22630303 is my guide for this. They keep updating.
direwolfwatson replied to your post: How the media controls people.
They’ve straight away jumped on the “soldier” stuff as well. :/
There are only 2 reasons they have done that and both are dodgy.
1. They are near an army base.
2. They were wearing a help for heros shirt.
Both are very very unstable ground.

Problems with being a male
Having emotions is seen as weakness
Admitting weakness is seen as an even greater weakness
Being called a sexual deviant or a pervert because you were expressing your sexuality
A girl beating you in any physical competition makes you inferior
Being superficial makes you a pig but a woman being superficial is fine
Makeup isn’t even an option
Not living up to the insanely unrealistic ideal of manhood automatically makes you gay
Being gay is seen as weak
You can’t control the size of your “manhood”
You can’t report sexual assaults because being a male victim is worse than being the rapist
No male specific support groups or movements
Unequal parental rights
Extreme feminists treating you less than human
Women can blame all men or say they are all the same but if a man blames women they’re sexist pigs
People dismissing your problems automatically because the universe is obviously rigged in your favour in every scenario imaginable
No one will read this past the title-That’s because emotions are seen as something for women by society, and women are looked down upon.
-That’s because weakness is seen as something feminine by society, and again, therefore looked down upon especially for men.
-What? Heterosexual men are never looked down upon for expressing their sexuality, unless they harass people, in which case they deserve to be looked down upon. Non-heterosexual women and non-binary people also are called sexual deviants and perverts for being non-heterosexual, so if you were talking about non-heterosexual people, this is something that happens across the board.
-That’s because society sees girls as inferior.
-Please. Men are not at all looked down upon for being superficial. Women are constantly criticized as a whole for being superficial so…
-Well, it is an option? But again, it’s something that’s seen as something for women, and women are looked down upon.
-The next two come from heterosexism. But in the same way, women not fitting gender roles also often causes them to be labeled gay. Actually, women not being interested in a specific man often causes them to be labeled gay. And we won’t even get into how non-binary people like me are treated.
-There’s a lot of cissexism involved in calling penises “manhood”s and implying that all men have them. Associating large penises with manhood is something that, again, comes from cissexism. But clearly you don’t care about cissexism, or you wouldn’t have perpetuated it.
-I do think there needs to be more resources for men who are victims of sexual assault. However, the reason women who are victims of sexual assault are considered more “normal” is because society expects and allows men to rape women. And men who are victims being shamed is a direct result of the patriarchy.
-There are both of these. It is not the fault of people who aren’t men that your support groups and movements are misogynistic and awful.
-That’s, again, because of the patriarchy and child-raising being seen as a “woman’s task.”
-Oh please, “extreme feminists” don’t treat you as less than human. And even if they did, men treat women as less than human regularly. It’s not even an extreme viewpoint for men, it happens all the time.
-Wow! Maybe it’s because men have privilege over women??
-No, it’s actually because your “problems with being men” ARE DIRECTLY THE BACKFIRE OF THE SYSTEM MEN HAVE CREATED AND STILL CONTROL. And then when MRAs like the OP blame women for the oppression THEY INSTITUTED, it actually perpetuates the patriarchy. So yes, people will scoff at that. Especially when you only care about things like heterosexism when they apply to men.
