The proship label says nothing about what content a person consumes.
Proship means you have a "ship and let ship" mentality. The "pro" in proship doesn't stand for "problematic."
"Proship means you ship adult x minor." No it doesn't. Proship means you won't harass or belittle someone who does. Proshippers don't assume the moral values of another person based on fanfiction.
There are Proshippers who are uncomfortable with age gap ships, there are Proshippers who are uncomfortable with shipcest, etc. There isn't a human being on the planet who isn't squicked out by some topics and Proshippers aren't a monolith.

I know that this is dark and confronting but it’s also very important!
Another self defence tip: carry a pencil with you, the longer and sharper the better. Pencils can very easily become weapons, especially when aimed at the eyes or neck. If someone attacks you and you have a pencil within reach, use it.

THROUGH A RAPIST’S EYES” (PLS TAKE TIME TO READ THIS. It may save a life, It may save your life.)
An Article from Neena Susan Thomas
“Through a rapist’s eyes. A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interview…ed on what they look for in a potential victim and here are some interesting facts:
1] The first thing men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle. They are most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun! , braid, or other hairstyle that can easily be grabbed. They are also likely to go after a woman with long hair. Women with short hair are not common targets.
2] The second thing men look for is clothing. They will look for women who’s clothing is easy to remove quickly. Many of them carry scissors around to cut clothing.
3] They also look for women using their cell phone, searching through their purse or doing other activities while walking because they are off guard and can be easily overpowered.
4] The number one place women are abducted from / attacked at is grocery store parking lots.
5] Number two is office parking lots/garages.
6] Number three is public restrooms.
7] The thing about these men is that they are looking to grab a woman and quickly move her to a second location where they don’t have to worry about getting caught.
8] If you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouraged because it only takes a minute or two for them to realize that going after you isn’t worth it because it will be time-consuming.
9] These men said they would not pick on women who have umbrellas,or other similar objects that can be used from a distance, in their hands.
10] Keys are not a deterrent because you have to get really close to the attacker to use them as a weapon. So, the idea is to convince these guys you’re not worth it.
POINTS THAT WE SHOULD REMEMBER:
1] If someone is following behind you on a street or in a garage or with you in an elevator or stairwell, look them in the face and ask them a question, like what time is it, or make general small talk: can’t believe it is so cold out here, we’re in for a bad winter. Now that you’ve seen their faces and could identify them in a line- up, you lose appeal as a target.
2] If someone is coming toward you, hold out your hands in front of you and yell Stop or Stay back! Most of the rapists this man talked to said they’d leave a woman alone if she yelled or showed that she would not be afraid to fight back. Again, they are looking for an EASY target.
3] If you carry pepper spray (this instructor was a huge advocate of it and carries it with him wherever he goes,) yelling I HAVE PEPPER SPRAY and holding it out will be a deterrent.
4] If someone grabs you, you can’t beat them with strength but you can do it by outsmarting them. If you are grabbed around the waist from behind, pinch the attacker either under the arm between the elbow and armpit or in the upper inner thigh – HARD. One woman in a class this guy taught told him she used the underarm pinch on a guy who was trying to date rape her and was so upset she broke through the skin and tore out muscle strands the guy needed stitches. Try pinching yourself in those places as hard as you can stand it; it really hurts.
5] After the initial hit, always go for the groin. I know from a particularly unfortunate experience that if you slap a guy’s parts it is extremely painful. You might think that you’ll anger the guy and make him want to hurt you more, but the thing these rapists told our instructor is that they want a woman who will not cause him a lot of trouble. Start causing trouble, and he’s out of there.
6] When the guy puts his hands up to you, grab his first two fingers and bend them back as far as possible with as much pressure pushing down on them as possible. The instructor did it to me without using much pressure, and I ended up on my knees and both knuckles cracked audibly.
7] Of course the things we always hear still apply. Always be aware of your surroundings, take someone with you if you can and if you see any odd behavior, don’t dismiss it, go with your instincts. You may feel little silly at the time, but you’d feel much worse if the guy really was trouble.
FINALLY, PLEASE REMEMBER THESE AS WELL ….
1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do it.
2. Learned this from a tourist guide to New Orleans : if a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you…. chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!
3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car: Kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won’t see you but everybody else will. This has saved lives.
4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping,eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc. DON’T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side,put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU CLOSE the DOORS , LEAVE.
5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage:
a. Be aware: look around your car as someone may be hiding at the passenger side , peek into your car, inside the passenger side floor, and in the back seat. ( DO THIS TOO BEFORE RIDING A TAXI CAB) .
b. If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.
c. Look at the car parked on the driver’s side of your vehicle, and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)
6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot).
7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; And even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN!
8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP IT! It may get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked “for help” into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.
Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it and it’s better safe than sorry.

Hello friends!
🍉I am Mahmoud Ayyad, a Palestinian from the besieged and destroyed Gaza 😭😭, coming from a family of young children, women and elderly ❤❤ who have been suffering😭😭 for 300 difficult days of an aggressive war. Our lives are harsh because we lack all the basic necessities of life. Everything has become scarce and difficult to obtain. There is no food, no water, no medicine.
So, I ask you to help me keep my family safe and alive, especially after we lost all our sources of livelihood.
Please do not leave my family to struggle and suffer these difficult days alone. You can support my campaign by donating whatever you can or by sharing my posts to reach others who can help us survive the war to safety and peace. You are helping the lives of many people with your small contribution. ❤❤🍉🍉
Every donation makes a difference in our very difficult lives. But this is a legitimate campaign and has been checked by 90-ghost
i am sadly unable to help as I am broke but those who can, please send contributions to help these people and donate to them.
I am Motaz Mohamed ❤ a palestinian youngman from Gaza🍉🇵🇸, seeking to find safety and peace ☝️for my family if twenty members. We have been ❤🇵🇸🍉passing through all forms of torture and pain for almost ten months because of the war on Gaza.
Life is very miserable and tragic❤🇵🇸 as we are now deprived ❤🇵🇸🍉of all means of living. Drink water, healthy food health care and medicine❤🇵🇸 have become things 🇵🇸🍉❤of the past. We are dying dear friends. That is why I am asking you to help us break through this tough situation.Life in hot tents is incredibly sad and miserable. We are now experiencing the worst circumstances we have ever had in our life. The war has stolen happiness and life from us.
Please don't leave us alone in such dire times. Your kind contribution either through donating whatever you can or sharing my posts will be highly appreciated and valued.❤🇵🇸🍉
please donate to help motaz and his family!
This makes me so incredibly angry. I remember being a child and being ashamed of my body. I was told at 5 years old (by my mother and grandmother) that I was too fat for a bikini. I remember hiding under the table to sneak food. I remember aunts making (negative)comments about my body when I was a kid. I remember already thinking something was wrong with my body at a young age. I remember in high school my so called “best friend “ ( no not Mindy) telling me that guys don’t like girls who are as big as me. I remember trying to make myself throw up because I was ashamed of how much I ate. I remember being told the after school snacks at my grandparents house weren’t for me because I “didn’t need them” I didn’t put a lot of things together about the sexual abuse at the hands of my uncle and my eating together until an adult but even if that wasn’t the case-I still should not have been shamed for my body and should have been allowed to learn to make choices for myself without being shamed by members of my family. (For the record I have a different body type than the family members who were making comments about me-they are all about 5 feet tall as adults and I’m 5′7 and I was a naturally chubby kid to begin with-and their comments only served to make me feel bad about myself-they also made negative comments about my mother-who was “bigger than them-and by “bigger”-she had big boobs and a curvier figure but was hardly the definition of “fat” but since she wasn’t “stick thin” like them-that’s what they called her (actually they called her hippo hips and thunder thighs)-and I heard those comments too and I remember crying about it. I’m not making an excuse for her-but I know my mother took out her insecurities on me so I got a double whammy. And I worry that kids on this new app will have to deal with this too and I know how awful that is.
repost @bodyposipanda
This week in Fucked Up Diet Culture News: @ww launched a weight loss app aimed at children as young as 8-years-old. Nope, not a typo, Weight Watchers are really out here recruiting those lifetime members before they’ve even left the playground. The app teaches kids to categorise foods into a traffic light system (aka a slightly more colourful way of splitting food into moral categories of “good” and “bad”), & track all the greens, yellows and reds they eat a day. It also shows them progress charts, as well as “inspiring” before/after weight loss photos of other kids - one shows Vanessa, age 8, with a quote from her mother about how impressive her willpower is, she says no to foods she used to love and never breaks a goal! It breaks my fucking heart that WW doesn’t know how dangerous it is to praise that kind of all-or-nothing restriction in anyone, let alone a child. But the thing is, they do know. They know that around 95% of diets fail (even when they’re packaged as lifestyle changes or traffic light systems). They know dieting is the biggest contributing factor to the development of eating disorders. They know children’s bodies are supposed to grow and change. And if they cared about the mental well-being of kids everywhere, they’d know how dangerous apps like this are. But hey, all of that is hard to hold onto when you also know that $69 a month adds the fuck up, am I right?
So what can we do? Speak up. Educate ourselves on diet culture, intuitive eating and how to actually promote size inclusive health for children (@laurathomasphd@chr1styharrison @evelyntriboleare a good place to start). Sign the petition in my stories to have the app shut down. Fiercely protect our kids - teach them that their bodies (and other people’s) are worthy of love & respect & nourishment at any size, that food doesn’t need to be feared, that movement should be for joy, not repentance, and that they are so much more valuable than anything the outside could ever show. Oh, and for the record @ww, you can go fuck yourself forwards, backwards and sideways. Feel free to categorise the 3 ways into a traffic light system if it helps. 💜💙💚🌈☀️
Oh, HELL NAH THIS IS DISGUSTING!🤢
DONT SCROLL THIS IS IMPORTANT!

I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:
IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.
1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.
2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.
3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”
4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”
5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.
TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.
Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.

Reasons to Be Alive
I’ve noticed lately that many people across social media (mostly Facebook) have been saying that the most important reason not to kill yourself is because “you are someone’s child/friend/sibling/partner etc”. Their intentions are good, and caring about your loved ones is wonderful, but today I’m going to tell you that when it comes to finding reasons to survive, it’s okay to be selfish! It’s okay to want to be alive because of your own happiness! So here’s a few other reasons to be alive tomorrow, the day after, and the day after that!
You might hear an awesome joke tomorrow.
You might see a cute animal!
That show you’re super into? The finale’s probably going to be heckin awesome.
Your favorite director/studio is probably working on a super cool film right now.
If you’ve been thinking about a project lately, I’m sure it’s going to be incredible when finished.
Do you want to learn sign language? How about Korean? Go for it!
There’s still time to meet someone you look up to.
Remember that book you haven’t finished yet? The end is the best part.
If someone doesn’t believe in you, stick around just to prove them wrong.
You have so many good naps left to take.
Want to travel? Can’t travel right now? Maybe one day soon, you will!
What if you see someone super cute tomorrow?
You still have time to change the world, in any way!
Make art make art make art make art make art
Someday you’ll be in the perfect position to make that pun you thought of in the shower last week. Don’t let a great pun like that go to waste.
Guaranteed you’ll hear a new favorite song soon. It will get stuck in your head, but you’ll love it (for a while).
There are tons of video games you haven’t played that you would love!
Live because you have so much happiness left to experience.
Live because you have so much happiness left to experience.
Live because you have so much happiness left to experience.
There are literally millions of super shiny pennies just waiting to be found. Like holy shit.
Please feel free to add to this list! I encourage it! Just please keep the positivity going. :)
To anyone who needs to hear it:
It's not your fault.
You didn't deserve it.
You will get through this.
You will recover.
