Straight men who embrace their femininity, express emotions in a healthy way and help advocate for minority groups without speaking over them? Big dick energy.
You mean

For the record, she actually abandoned the movement BEFORE they all got whooping cough, but abandoned it too late. There’d been a breakout of measles in her area that caused her to reassess, and she and her doctor had already drafted and started a catch-up vaccination schedule, but her kids caught whooping cough just before it could be started. Then she wrote a blog post for The Scientific Parent explaining how she and her husband had come to wrong decisions in the first place, how they changed their mind, the consequences they suffered as a result, and asking other parents to please vaccinate their kids. And now she’s an activist for destroying the misinformation of anti-vaxxers, and reaching out to anti-vaxxers because she’s understands their fears but knows their kids deserve better.
She was trying to the best for her kids and just didn’t know how to interpret the validity of information or its sources, an actual skill that can be actually difficult and that is under-taught and a necessary first step to being able to trust vaccination research, so chose no action over taking an action she wasn’t sure of. She kept looking into it with family and friends and even eventually came to the right conclusion before her kids became sick, but it was still too late.
Honestly it was pretty brave of her to publicly admit she was wrong. She could have just quietly vaccinated her kids and not become a national news story, but instead she spoke out, even saying “I’m writing this from quarantine, the irony of which isn’t lost on me.” and also “I am not looking forward to any gloating or shame as this ‘defection’ from the antivaxx camp goes public, but, this isn’t a popularity contest. Right now my family is living the consequences of misinformation and fear. I understand that families in our community may be mad at us for putting their kids at risk.”
She understood the consequences and still put herself and her story out there.
You know what, it does take a big person to admit they were wrong so publicly and work to undo the harm. I believe I made fun of her in the past, but timemachineyeah changed my mind.
i’m sorry i just will literally never stop finding it tragically hilarious how adam, gansey, and ronan’s narration about each other always basically boils down to “these two… the most handsome and intelligent and talented people in the Entire World… have no reason to be friends with Me, a Literal Trash Can” no matter the context or tone of the scene
no but seriously this is really sad but the fact that it happens so frequently and with basically no prompting makes it kind of funny like
ronan: *puts any effort into anything ever* gansey and adam: ronan lynch is a god among men, the most improbable and incredible creature ever to walk the earth, he could crush me with one hand and his cheekbones could slice off my entire face
gansey: *wrecks his clothes and hangs out in a pile of garbage* adam and ronan: gansey is a prince and my king, he is so beautiful, so classy, he is the perfect human specimen and i love him more than life itself
adam: *breathes* ronan and gansey: oh my god, amazing, how did you do that?? you’re better than this town you’re better than me you’re better than all of us, do you even know how talented you are? here take my wallet
meanwhile blue’s just like “yeah they’re okay or whatever, now back to MY story”
Love when my cat flings himself into the air after a toy, but he has no style. Straight up ragdoll physics.
One day i want to take a video of Yardstick straight-up hurling himself into the void. Cats have no conception that there is a future. There is just now and the jingly toy.
