so today at work I cleaned this old man’s golf clubs and I thought he was getting his wallet out of his bag but instead he pulls out this giant plastic target bag of yellow plums. he tipped us in yellow plums. he told us not to tell anyone we had these and I looked them up because they were so good and these plums are illegal in the US. I got tipped in illegally imported plums.

Ron Weasley offered the stranger sitting next to him on the train half his sandwich even though it was all he had.
Ron Weasley sacrificed himself for the good of Harry and Hermione at age eleven because even then he thought they were more important than he was, and the ones worth saving.
Ron Weasley was Harry Potter’s first friend and the first thing Harry ever had resembling a family.
Ron Weasley lived in a cramped house and wore hand me down robes and he didn’t even think twice about offering his room and food and family to Harry every break.
Ron Weasley took care of Harry Potter and Hermione Granger when they were too busy taking care of the rest of the world to worry about themselves.
Ron Weasley stood on broken bones when he was thirteen years old, to tell a man infamous for murder that if he planned on killing his best mate, he would have to go through him first.
Ron Weasley was the person Harry would miss most in the world.
Ron Weasley was a pureblood wizard who, from a very young age, devoted his life to abolishing blood status, even if he didn’t quite understand his own privilege.
Ron Weasley gave Dobby his own clothes and socks to be buried in, because he understood how important it would have been to him.
Ron Weasley thought about saving the house elves when everyone else forgot.
If you don’t love Ron Weasley, The Boy Who Cared, I don’t know what books you read but they weren’t the same ones I did.
i remember when i was in second grade and i saw my sister kiss her female friend on the cheek and i was totally floored because i didn’t know two girls could kiss each other and i went to school and told my friends and we all started kissing each other and i basically started a lesbian uprising
2015 trend: answering the question “are you a feminist?” with the question “are you not?” in order to make not being a feminist sound more like the ridiculous, illogical thing that it is.

My 13 yearold sister got asked out as a joke today. She’s now locked herself in her room crying. I swear to god this is the most fucked up thing ever. She won’t speak to me or my mom and she’s blasting Taylor Swift but you can still hear her crying.
If you ask someone out as a joke, fuck you, you are literally the scum of the earth.
All through middle school it was a game to see if anyone could ask me out and make me believe they meant it but I had such a low opinion of myself that I knew it was always a joke. It’s still hard to trust people are being sincere with this shit. It’s not a prank or a joke it’s cruel, heartless, and can have lasting negative impacts on a person.
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.
