Tacky Blowfish

There are gonna be people who won't like hearing this but if you want to live in a world where mixed marriages, families, and adoptions (particularly POC adopting outside their "race") aren't maligned and discriminated against, then you have got to get more chill about seeing someone partaking in something cultural that you don't think fits the "race" you perceive them as.

"Don't speak ill of the dead" my ass. If you didn't want people talking shit about you when you're no longer there to defend yourself, you should've been a better person.

I always took it to mean, like, don't bitch about Mrs. Obnoxious in front of her grieving children, not 'you can't say anything bad about a dead person ever' but let me tell you some people really do seem to take the latter approach and it's EXHAUSTING. "don't speak ill of the dead" are Ronald Reagan's descendants in this room right now?

Or “little Jonathan doesn’t talk but does a good job herding the sheep, contributes to the community in his own way, and is, all around, a decent guy.” That happened a lot, too, especially before the 19th century.

Weirdly enough, that legend is now comforting to me.

“…disability exists in the context of the environment.”

Reblog for disability commentary.

That last paragraph is absolutely important.

Actually no it still works it’s pretty accurate

my brain has subconciously decided that tiktok is “unhealthy” but tumblr is “healthy” which i dont think is entirely true but i kind of like the idea.

oh. twenty sixteen you say.

Yeah… the gorilla the comic is referencing is Harambe. How are yall doin? Personally, im barely holding it together.

When I was a boy, all the shows on TV taught me that I could do anything I put my mind to. That rules were meant to be broken. That all I had to do was believe in myself and push through. That the greatest strength comes from inside: a willingness to grasp self-determination with both hands and establish yourself in the world. And these are ideals I've held onto, many years into my womanhood. But society doesn't expect such fervent determination from a woman. I think cis women, by and large, get that kind of defiance beaten out of them by the time they are adults. And then they often look at women like me, who dare to swim against the current, and call it male socialization. But I don't think having that raging storm inside me is a bad thing. If anything, I wish all women had it. If anything needs to change, it's the systems that make little girls not believe in themselves the same way little boys do. In my world, we will all be anime protagonists.

the joy of working with middle school aged children is that, regardless of how long you've been doing it, they will always find novel ways to annoy and confuse you, which is okay because that's the natural state of the middle school aged child. anyway suffice it to say that for the past three weeks of school my 6th grade class has been greeting me at my door by lining up outside of it, playing the national anthem, and saluting me as i walk in.

dead tired today so I grabbed a coffee from the gas station & the guy greeted me by trying to say “is that everything “ but fumbled and said “e ga thebythin” and me trying to say “yeah” or “yup” just went “YIP!” in response. No survivors

”with shapes.inc you can talk to your ocs!!” Dumbass. I’m already talking to them. In my head. “B-bbut what about your favourite charac-“ skill issue. In my head as well. get fucked.

when u plug a phone into a computer the comupter always charges the phone even if she has less charge than the phone bc the computer thinks that due to her size she always needs to provide for those smaller than her even when it hurts her more than it helps others. btw
