How Even Do I?

I better see EVERYBODY reblogging this

not to highlight the uniquely American horror story that is our education system but we were always AMPED when someone found a bomb threat in the bathroom or w/e bc we got to go outside and hang out for two periods while police searched the school. one time a kid wrote one to get out of a test. looking back that’s a lot to unpack.

it got so out of hand my senior year they started thinking maybe people were doing it just BECAUSE we all got out of class so they started discussing having “bomb threat assignments” for us to do while we were evacuated so bomb threats would be “less fun.”

for the record I don’t think bomb threats are funny I’m just looking back and thinking about how numb students in the US have had to become to threats of violence and terror in order to go about the day in any semblance of normality and it’s looks Bad 

Do you ever interact with someone and you realize “this person has never had to consider or think about what their place in the world is, and why they believe certain things or act certain ways, this person has never considered society at length” and it’s just terrifying

When I was 3 I fell down the stairs and cracked my head open. I don’t remember much of it except that the Velcro restraints they used at the hospital while they stitched me up were bright blue, and I hated them so much that any time another child said their favorite color was blue, I decided that they were my enemy and could not be trusted. I distinctly remember telling my playmate that she was stupid for liking blue when red exists.

galaxy brain: BOOOooooOOoooNE!!

Interdimensional Brain: B99 has had plots and subplots about the problems with the police as an institution since it started. The episode that was specifically about racial profiling wasn’t anything new for the show, which has consistently featured “good guys who are cops” as its protagonists instead of a simplistic “cops are the good guys” narrative, making it very much not propaganda. It isn’t “cop propaganda” any more than The Office is “capitalist propaganda” or Parks and Recreation is “state propaganda.” Let’s realize that a workplace comedy being set in an institution you disagree with doesn’t make it propaganda.

FUCKING THANK YOU

This, This, This, THIS. 

I use subtitles to assist with auditory processing issues and some stuff on Netflix it's so egregious that it's unwatchable.

something I’ve noticed lately is the number of shows where a character is using AAVE but the subtitles for their dialogue are in SAE, which is fucked up on multiple levels..

Holy shit

This is definitely blasphemy. *reblogs*

i feel like i made myself up

You did! You do! Every day! Every minute!

I had a dream last night that I was at a coffee shop and there was a drink called ‘fistbumping lesbians’ and it was a seven shot caramel latte

I start work super early tomorrow so guess who’s gonna make herself a fistbumping lesbians at the start of her shift

4 hours later: I’m fricken ZAZZED you guys

This is… not usually what is meant by “follow your dreams”…

imagine owning an independent bookstore with a cafe and bakery with a cat that sleeps on the windowsills and people like to pet her while they browse the shelves

no one ever talks about the part of adhd where everyone in your class has got their group of friends and you’re just there, mindlessly tagging along with anyone who is willing to put up with you for a few minutes. either you’re too loud or too quiet. if you’re lucky, it won’t affect you much. you’re a loner, so what? but then the moments come around where you find yourself yearning to be like the others. you’re not depressed, why would you be? you’re a child who just happens to be a little different. sure, you’re usually the last choice when it comes to groups and you’re rarely, if ever, invited to birthday parties but… it’s alright. everything is fine. or is it?

I was lucky to get two best friends halfway through fifth grade that stuck with me through middle school and highschool… but before them this was how my life was like. My only friend was a girl from the Sp. Ed. class and she was usually busy with the other kids from that class. I forced my way into a tag game a couple times, and kids would spread rumors to try and force me into a DNI list, saying they wouldn’t play if I was, even when it wasn’t a socially interactive game. Elementary school was horrible for me, and most of the time I just went and caught bugs because what else was I going to do? The birthday parties I went to were my cousins and kids of my mom’s friends. I guess I’m lucky I have 20+ cousins on my bio-dad’s side…

i love capitalizing words that do not need to be capitalized At All so that you read them in that Important Voice
