With the mass usage of dating apps by millennials, there can be a tendency to feel the need to lie on profiles to promote a better version of yourself. However, if you are a millennial tempted to do this, it can be a good idea to steer clear of falsifying your profiles or messages to a person. The reason being is that you will likely be found out in the future and thus cause you and your date more pain and upset. You’ll have wasted everyone’s time, plus you are also likely not to feel great about yourself either. This can have big implications for your overall happiness and joy. Bearing that in mind, it’s easier just to be honest.

“The White House had to cancel a Ramadan iftar meal after several Muslim Americans declined the invitation in protest of President Joe Biden's support for Israel's bloodthirsty genocide on Gaza.
Edward Ahmed Mitchell, the deputy director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), said,
"The American Muslim community said very early on that it would be completely unacceptable for us to break bread with the very same White House that is enabling the Israeli government to starve and slaughter the Palestinian people in Gaza," 💯
Mitchell told Al Jazeera.
Both CNN and NPR had reported on Monday that the White House was preparing a community iftar. #NoThanks #Haram
But hours later, on Tuesday, the White House announced instead that it would be hosting a meal for Muslim government staffers only and holding a separate meeting with a few Muslim American community figures
#Declined
The cancelled iftar underscores Biden's struggle to stem growing anger in US. Arab and Muslim communities over his ironclad support for Israel.
Critics warn the outrage could translate into peril for Biden at the ballot box during November's presidential election.
White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed that Biden and his Vice President Kamala Harris will meet with Muslim "community leaders" on Tuesday.
Asked why the "community leaders" will not attend, Jean-Pierre said that they requested a meeting instead of a meal,
"They thought it would be important to do that. And so, we listened, we heard, and we adjusted the format to be responsive."
Several Muslim American activists said the meeting will be another futile “photo-op", arguing that the Muslim community has made its position known over the past six months.
"No matter how many meetings we have, no matter how many people have gone in, no matter how many conversations are being held, the White House has refused to change," said Mohamad Habehh, the director of development at American Muslims for Palestine.
Habehh stressed that Biden cannot claim to care for the Muslim American community if he does not end his backing of Israel.
"These photo-ops that they're doing — these discussions that they're doing to somehow show they still have the Muslim community's support - are just pathetic attempts to make themselves look good at a time where their true colours have been seen," Habehh told Al Jazeera.
“Today, around the world, we’ve seen so many Muslims that have been targeted by violence. No one, no one should discriminate against or be oppressed, or be repressed, for their religious beliefs,” President Biden,
The paradox of inviting Muslim leaders for Iftar and aiding and abetting genocide, is not lost on anyone, as the leaders stood firm in their decision to not participate in a blatant betrayal of their Islamic principles,
✍🏻 You are cordially invited to Iftar at the White House, please RSVP, Genocide Joe!! … 💥
Hello! This is another pride icon blog on Tumblr. To be honest, I primarily made it mainly because I needed a space to put all of my LGBTQIA+ headcannons lol. You can call me Lantern (they/she). I'm an adult. I use Ibis Paint X for my icons, though I'm not very experienced so constructive criticism is appreciated.
Please read before requesting an icon from me:
💛 For pride flag icons, I will use whatever is the most commonly known flag for that identity unless another design is specified. I can also do icons with other backgrounds, just let me know!
🧡 You're welcome to specify what shape or any specific character images you'd like me to use, or I can choose myself.
💛 Flags I will not use: Any and all "radqueer" flags, including "transabled" or "MAP", bi lesbian or other mspec monos, or any flags specifically designed by/for TERFs, ace exclusionists, or other radical exclusionary groups.
🧡 Characters I will not make icons for: Harry Potter, Attack on Titan, South Park, Vivziepop's stuff, or real people (though actors playing characters are fine).
Tagging system:
#requested - icons requested by other users via the askbox or DMs.
#self indulgent - icons I made for myself (though ofc anyone else is welcome to use them). I mainly tag them as this to make them easier for me to find lol.
#declined - letting askbox users know that their request was declined for whatever reason.
#blog announcement - information about the blog, should the need arise.
Hello, If it's alright, may i request an Indian inspired Tumblr layout for nahida from genshin?
hello there anon! my apologies but i don't think i can complete your request. i'm not very well informed on indian culture, i am not indian myself, & i don't currently really have a friend or real life experience source of information (i'd want to talk to people first hand about their culture if im going to learn about it) i can refer to. i'd want to make sure i make something respectful and/or in the correct manner, and i also just think it's not my place to do that as a white person.
For a gotg prompt, maybe Peter catches rocket trying to take apart the ship to make weapons n such, so he Gets him to make him stop?
Hi! Thank you for the ask! I feel like I've read this fic before somewhere.... can't place it, however. I think I'll be declining this prompt still. Sorry!
Hi! I don’t know if you remember this, but you wrote a fic where Max wrestled and beat Lucas, then tickled him. If ur up for it, could you write a sequel where she wins again, this time tickling his belly button?
Hi, I think I'm gonna decline this since I've technically already written this, sans the focus on the belly button!
The poetry contest I entered in January posted results this morning, and I just got a look-see!
Unfortunately, my collection was declined.
While I can't deny that I could have used a win for my writer psyche, it helps to remember that each rejected work stokes the embers of my ability and encourages me to continue writing and wanting to get my work out into the world.
Hey! Loved your stories! So, I wanted to make a request. A Bucky fanfic. Where he is obsessed with the reader's boobs. Likes to play with it. Burry his head in it. Stick his head under the t-shirt. You can make it a fluff or smut, your choice!
P.s. Really don't wanna burden you with this request. If you don't vibe with the idea or don't have time to write it. It's totally okay. Continue writing what you want. You are doing a great job at it 👍👍👍
Hi love!! You’re definitely not a burden by ANY MEANS!! I love the idea in retrospect and would actually LOVE to read it, but it’s not my cup of tea to write. So sorry 💗💗
If there’s anyone out there who would like to take this prompt on for this sweet anon pls comment or reblog!
