"By and large, CPCs are not medical facilities, and most CPC volunteers who work directly with women are not medical professionals. Their main qualifications are a commitment to Christianity and anti-choice beliefs. Although CPCs historically have not employed medical staff, there is an emerging trend on the part of CPCs to gain validity by hiring part-time anti-choice medical providers and purchasing ultrasound equipment."

I AM SORRY BUT THIS IS WHY I AM EMBARRASSED TO BE AN AMERICAN. IF A HIJAB THAT DORNS THE AMERICAN FLAG PATTERN IS NOT ACCEPTABLE BUT SKIMPY ASS BIKINIS OR WEARING THE FUCKING ACTUAL FLAG IS ACCEPTABLE, JUST BECAUSE THE PERSON IS WHITE, I WANT TO FUCKING THROW UP.
(I don’t have a thing against Audrey Kitching, she was just merely and example).
But this fucking disgusts me right here. It makes me want to say, fuck this country and its racism and double standards.

Reverse gender stereotypes at the gym
Aaahhhh get on my dash you amusing thing you.
I kinda love it
this is actually great from an acting perspective.
the actors actually played the opposite gender instead of just relying on stereotypes (ironically enough) to portray that they were, in fact, the opposite gender. Usually if you tell a guy to act like a girl, he begins playing by the homosexual stereotype (faking a lisp, popping the hip, etc.) and while it accentuates femininity, it’s really uncomfortable and forced, making it just seem like he’s playing a stereotype instead of the actual gender. And girls will do this too; being told to play a male and instead just deepening the voice and say “dude” and “bro” a lot (although these are more common among modern practices).
The males played up femininity without coming off as a forced stereotype and the females played up masculinity and machismo without forcing their performance.
also the video is funny and I kind of forgot the point I was making.

Ok I shouldn’t be ranting about this here but I have to rant somewhere and it’s 2am so no one will answer their phones.
Tonight Daniel showed up at my house. To tell me that he still loves me and wants to be with me. Oh, and that he’s fucked eight people in the month since we broke up. AND HE CHEATED ON ME WITH FIVE DIFFERENT PEOPLE. FIVE.
I don’t even know how to deal with these feelings anymore. How am I supposed to react when someone who swore that they loved me, that they cared about me, that they wanted to spend their life with me just goes around and hooks up with five different people while I’m away at school? And oh yes, he had sex with some of them. How fucking fantastic is that?
I know I wasn’t perfect, but I wasn’t the one who walked away in the end, that was all him. And I can’t believe he had the audacity to come back and tell me that Ben will never love me (which I’m starting to believe but that’s a rant for another day) and that he can’t stop thinking about me and that we’re still supposed to be together.
I don’t know what to think. I don’t know how to feel. I just want for once in my life for someone to tell me that they love me and then not treat me like shit.

therearecertainshadesoflimelight:
Hellfire is, to put it simply, a masterpiece. We don’t even need to look at the main lyrics to get an understanding of the genius put into this work. Listen to the Latin Chanting as Frollo sings. It is a prayer Catholics recite during mass that is an admission of guilt… so we have Frollo singing how the current situation isn’t his fault, whilst our red hooded friends are chanting ‘mea culpa’ and ‘mea maxima culpa’ (through my fault, through my most grievous fault) - showing the dual natures of humankind, religion etc… it also shows us Frollo’s mental state, obviously a precarious one as he fights his inner demons.
This song is also a parallel to Quasimodo’s earlier song Out There - both start begging for forgiveness, then grow into revealing the performers true feelings (Wanting to go to the festival and wanting Esmeralda respectively) which shows a similarity between the two which in turn shows that despite differences in appearance, status etc they are the same - which the film is showing. Regardless of appearance, if you are considered ‘normal’ or not, we are all the same.
By having this technique, it also sets the stage for Frollo v Quasimodo in their views of Esmeralda, this is emphasized by having Heaven’s Light sung and leading into Hellfire, creating another paradox of human nature and how appearance can be misleading (Quasi thinks she is angelic, Frollo thinks she is a witch… both don’t fit and are extremely exaggerated viewpoints, once again fitting the theme of appearances being a mask worn and you shouldn’t be judged on that).
On a totally separate note, another piece of genius from the music score of this film comes in the shape of ‘dies irae’ that plays whilst Frollo chases Quasimodo and Esmeralda. This translates as ‘Day of Wrath’ which is how the wicked shall be punished in eternal fire… this piece was also used whilst Frollo chased down Quasimodo’s mother. Both times he was using religion to justify his actions. Additionally, the inclusion of this results in Hellfire not just foreshadowing Esmeralda’s brush with death, but Frollo’s actual death.
He shall smite the wicked and plunge them into the fiery pit…
To this day I remain in unfettered awe that they actually got away with Hellfire, a chilling (not to mention unsubtle almost to the point of being explicit) sequence in which a man sings about his agonizing, sanity-destroying lust for a woman and how he plans to burn her alive if she refuses to sleep with him. It is absolutely the best part of the film, and the Genius Bonuses discussed above are just the icing on the cake.
It’s a terrifying song and one that is only more terrifying the older you get and the more you understand it.

Sometimes I just want to shake him and be like “WHY DON’T YOU BE MY BOYFRIEND WE ARE PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER AND I WILL MAKE YOU FOOD AND CUDDLE AND WE CAN GO LIVE ON THE WATER AND PLAY MUSIC FOREVER AND HAVE TWO DOGS AND LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER JUST BE MY BOYFRIEND DAMN IT!”
and then I remember that this is not socially acceptable behavior, and he would probably run away.
