Almost a functional human being!

I have a lot to say on this topic, so try to stick with me here. I know some of this is stuff we have already acknowledged and agreed upon, but I’m trying to get it all in one place so it forms a cohesive theory! Just as a disclaimer, this is obviously just my interpretation and you’re more than welcome to see it differently. Please don’t repost this theory anywhere unless you directly link my tumblr, and I’d prefer if you got my permission if it’s anywhere other than twitter.

can yall stop worrying about memes and shit and start worrying about the FCC and the fact that net neutrality is fuckin GONE and YOU ALONE can still do something about it?

MCKAY So just make sure mine’s last, and that way, if it gets cut off, fine, but if the gate holds the connection a few extra milliseconds, then we won’t have wasted the time.

MCKAY Lieutenant Ford is just finishing recording personal messages from all the team members. If you’d like—

SHEPPARD I’m good.

Last month on the anniversary of the Montreal Massacre (in which 14 women in Quebec were murdered because they were women) I decided I wanted to ask my followers for places I could donate to in the future, to support women around issues of violence against women, homelessness, domestic abuse, etc.

This post is a culmination of all the responses I got to that original thread. All these places are based on recommendations. If you think any of them is problematic, let me know. If there are others I’ve missed, let me know. I can update this list in the future.

Especially as the #Metoo and #Timesup movements have emerged, I think its important to support women’s organizations like these.
