okay so my grandma had this friend and he was late to everything, but he didn’t really mind, as he would always joke around and say ‘oh well, as long as i’m not late to my own funeral’.
he recently passed away and last week at his funeral, everyone was in the church waiting for it to begin. they waited for more than 30 minutes past the set time and then came the news:
the hearse had gotten stuck in traffic. the hearse with his body in it.
i just want little disabled girls to know they’re beautiful and that the moon and stars shine for them
and, since it’s april and people are trying to cash in and exploit autistic people for their own gain, i really want autistic girls to know they’re beautiful, and that the moon and stars shine for them
especially autistic girls of color who are hugely misdiagnosed or undiagnosed, trans girls who have being autistic used against them in an innumerable amount of ways by medical professionals, fat autistic girls who are seen as undesirable on multiple axes, autistic girls who are multiply disabled and have their autonomy repeatedly taken from them
you’re all so important and wonderful, and you make this world a lovely place to be
Lets not forget the disabled boys
this post is specifically for disabled girls, and, as my second comment states, especially autistic girls; they have every right to have ONE post celebrating them.
this post in no way implies the negation, or criticism, of disabled boys existence, and it should not be necessary to include them in a post meant to celebrate disabled girls, who experience a unique form of misogyny-driven ableism - the two cannot be separated - that disabled boys do not.
Governor Pence claimed that “We in Indiana are just following the message of the scripture. Jesus never would have welcomed a sinner into his workplace.”
Unless I’m mistaken, Jesus has one job…to welcome sinners into his workplace.

As you should know by now, the lead is an adorable lil 15 year old who goes by Tip and is voiced by Rihanna. Let me tell you more about Tip:
She and her mom (voiced by Jennifer Lopez) are both immigrants from Barbados
She’s a big nerd and, as she proudly says more than once to Jim Parsons’ alien character Oh, got an A in geometry
She was treated different by the other kids and had trouble fitting in
OK LOOK AT HER. SUCH a realistic body! Unsexualized, normal clothes, beautiful curls…love her.
Anyway, this movie is about imperialism. It’s not even trying to be subtle, like, first minute, bam, imperialism. So sassy.
Tip’s mom is looking for her, and describes her as: “she’s got big green eyes and beautiful brown skin.” Score.
The crowd shots in this movie are the most diverse I’ve seen; you can tell what an effort they put in to incorporate people of all races and body types. There was even a casual Muslim couple conversing with another pair (don’t remember their races), several dudes and ladies with dreads, just so much diversity I couldn’t even take it all in.
Dreamworks needs your help!!! They’re in a bit of a financial pinch, and this studio is too good to go under.
i hear a lot about period cycles becoming in sync when women spend a lot of time together, but do they just average out or is there one cycle that’s just like the alpha cycle and makes the other one conform
they average out (in my experience)
there’s been studies on this, actually. i dont have the exact answer but one study conducted showed that people with vaginas “with a need for social recognition and approval from others were associated with synchrony“ [wiki][study] so it’s entirely possible that there is an alpha cycle in someone who is more confident and secure.
This post just turned into a five minute conversation with my two roommates about how, if we all had regular periods (one of them’s on birth control, one only has her period once every few months), I would be the Alpha Cycle. I’m unsure of how this happened.
Sometimes when I go hundreds pages deep into people’s Tumblr archives, I find really funny posts and I weigh the pros and cons of liking/reblogging them.
Pros: I’ll have access to them later because they’re fucking hilarious
Cons: They might think I’m creepy. Despite the fact that it’s public and on the Internet, it is not socially acceptable to let anyone know the extent that you creeped their archives.
I hereby extend blanket permission for anyone to creep on my archive, and to like and reblog posts from it if they want to. It’s really quite flattering.
I notice this happening sometimes, and it always makes my day. Creep away!
I fell in love with you three lifetimes ago and I’ve been looking for you ever since but I’ve been starting to give up and my friends’s new crush has your eyes and oh god I’m not going to steal someone’s date just because I’m hoping you’re the person I met in a past life (jk yes I…
it always really bothered me when wait staff ignored me + my friends just because we were young bc we are all really respectful people but the assumption was that we wouldn’t tip
anyway so fast fowards to when i became a waitress and one day this group of scrubbyass kids came in and i had 8 other tables with other people to look to but i overheard that one kid wanted a milkshake but he couldn’t afford it and the other kids offered to pay but he was like “nonono it’s fine” and i looked over and he just looked real run down and sad and stuff —- later it just so happened that our kitchen had a mixup so we had an extra shake and since it would just be dumped otherwise, i snuck it out to their table and gave it to him for free
and his friends were so fucking impressed by this they pooled every fucking cent they had i got a $50 tip and later his friend’s mom came in and said “i heard what you did for that boy” and gave me another 20 and offered me a better job working with her
and meanwhile at my other table a rich white guy i was serving complained bc he didn’t want to pay the 15% tip on a $8.90 bill and when his wife said “she’s been a good waitress, though,” he said, “but just plain good isn’t worth 15%”
The worst part about mental illness is that doubt that you have it. Like yeah I have a professional diagnosis and I get panic attacks and anxiety attacks for no reason and yeah I sometimes can’t even function enough to get out of bed in the morning but what if I’m just faking for attention??
Everybody look at this post and the notes on it and realise that telling mentally ill people they’re just attention-seeking fakers is a really shitty, gross thing to do.
there was a golden age superman comic where someone called a hit out on clark kent, and so a sniper tried to shoot him while he was out having lunch with lois
except he’s fucking superman so the bullets just fell off his chest into his lunch and clark just had to pretend nothing happened and hope lois wouldn’t notice that someone just fucking shot him
the hitman thinks maybe he just missed and gets ready to shoot him again, but then he’s watching through the scope as clark starts to eat the fucking bullets to hide the fucking evidence, acting like everything is totally normal as he noshes down on lead
dude just packs his shit up and leaves town because reporters in this city eat bullets for lunch and he’s not fucking with that no way no how
You don’t need to have had a fucked up childhood or some traumatic event happen to you in order to have depression/anxiety/panic attacks. You could have had a perfectly normal upbringing with loving friends and family. Mental illness does not discriminate; it can hit anyone at any time. Your feelings are valid. Don’t let anyone make you feel otherwise.
I think it’s so sad when students stop caring at the end of the year. Like ” I don’t give a Fuck if I fail, I just want school to be over” but you can tell they care. They do. BUT the pressure, expectations and the stress that they have been experiencing early in the semester has totally killed their motivation. We spend 9 months studying for a test that we lose motivation for anyways.”
Coraline is a masterfully made film, an amazing piece of art that i would never ever ever show to a child oh my god are you kidding me
Nothing wrong with a good dose of sheer terror at a young age
“It was a story, I learned when people began to read it, that children experienced as an adventure, but which gave adults nightmares. It’s the strangest book I’ve written”

Sometimes people use “respect” to mean “treating someone like a person” and sometimes they use “respect” to mean “treating someone like an authority”
and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say “if you won’t respect me I won’t respect you” and they mean “if you won’t treat me like an authority I won’t treat you like a person”
and they think they’re being fair but they aren’t, and it’s not okay.
my cat civilization has been going for 27 years now. we have developed writing and have friendly trade relations with a caravan of lizards. i’m told you can achieve space travel at some point. it’s amazing.
I’m a multi-shipper and I can usually reason, rationalize, or justify behind most ships, but man, when I NOTP, I NOTP hard. I’m so salty and bitter about ships I despise (don’t worry don’t worry I don’t tag my hate or anything).
I think men overall just don’t understand that we cannot stop the blood. If there’s nothing to collect it, it’s going everywhere. Everyone can hold a shit, can hold a piss, and can hold back sex, until it’s convenient. When we bleed there is just no stopping it. It doesn’t matter if there’s nothing to catch the blood, it will keep coming.
That’s why this free-tampon discussion is over your heads. You don’t get it. You can compare it to toilet paper or condoms all you want but we all have control over those things. When we bleed, we keep bleeding until it’s done. There’s no clenching or muscle training that will keep us from bleeding everywhere.
So stop talking about what you don’t understand. If condoms can be free, so can tampons.
Also, toilet paper is free in public restrooms. Everyone would lose their shit if they had to buy toilet paper at work.
Dear non-bleeders, this is why bleeders freak the fuck out if they come across a bathroom with free tampons or pads.
“Saying “you don’t have anything to be depressed about, your life is great” is like saying “what do you mean you have asthma? there is loads of air in here.””—something my 13 year old nephew said to my mum after she claimed I had no reason to be suffering from depression, I repeat, he is THIRTEEN. (via rdjobsessions)
we Americans act really cocky and assholey about freedom to hide the fact that our government is crumbling and nobody is actually free so please give us this one day to be annoying about it
Kinda feel bad for poor Americans now. A bit like the asshole kid who you realise is only acting like that cuz their parents are cruel and neglectful.
Her story goes mostly how the Disney version went, except she didn’t go to war as a quest for self-discovery or because she felt as though she couldn’t make her parents proud. The sole and only reason she disguised herself as a young man was to take her Father’s place in the war.
So when she told her parents that she wanted to this, they were like wtf no you’re a girl and it’s chaotic out there. And you know what she did? She put on male clothes and challenged her own Father to a duel. Her dad was like ‘who the hell are you’ but accepted. When Mulan won and revealed herself as his daughter, he was like wOAH okay you can go. Basically she made sure to get her parent’s consent before going, so not only are her parents awesome, she was decent enough to not leave them hanging for 12 years.
Yes, she was at war for 12 years, but she not in fact meet a handsome general. Instead she BECAMEa general. Eventually the war was won, and the Emperor was so impressed by her he wanted to wed the Princess to her. It was only then that she revealed she was in fact a woman. Then she accepted the rewards and went right back home to her normal life.
There is now even a crater on Venus named after her.
This is a way better story than the Disney version.
it’s so dumb that piercings and tattoos can impact your ability to find a job. employers shouldn’t be allowed to discriminate based on gender, race, sexual orientation, or level of punk-rockness
If you were about to have a surgery done, would you feel comfortable if she/he had gages and tattoos all over their face?
I mean presumably they went to medical school I literally would not give a single shit what they decided to put on their face
what if your phobias are based off how you died in a past life
Why is this not getting around faster
DUDE
then i died in some really strange ways
This meshes with another belief in a scary way for me. You know that myth that says lovers who committed suicide together are reincarnated as twins? My twin sister and I are both terrified of heights, specifically precipices.
