If you can’t handle a month of vibing in your room without anything to do but circle those four walls, imagine how zoo animals feel while you watch them and take photos of their permanent isolation.

Oh yes, zoo animals truly live horribly dull lives

Absolutely nothing to do in their habitats

All they do is pace their dark, gray concrete cages

Just hoping for some color and joy in their lives

Never to know happiness from fun toys

Or delicious new foods

I pity these poor creatures that live in squalor

Can I please hire someone to provide enrichment and a varied diet for me on a daily basis?

I spend up to 10 hours a day providing my animals at work with a clean, safe and secure environment, and making sure their social, mental and physical needs are filled to the highest standard of care. I wish I had some one who would offer me free room service, free health care, free house keeping, and free personal training and fun things to do!

I can’t click my reblog button hard enough

It’s not just the ladies who get insecure, it’s all of us.  It’s a human trait, yo.

Fricken’ beautiful. Everything that I want to say about this has been said in the post above me.

you can’t stop me from reblogging this over and over again

T~T

This is such an important and genuinely terrifying post. I could completely go off on the rise of anti-science, but for now I’ll just add: it isn’t just boomers that get deceived. This is a warning to all of us.

Pay ATTENTION to what you are being told. If you think you cannot be deceived, you leave yourself open to deception. Question, doubt, research research research. Learn about your personal biases, dig up any subconscious cognitive dissonance. Keep an eye on your mind.

It needs to be stressed that biases, not a lack of intelligence, is very much the issue here. Being aware of the need to fact check yourself is key: Intelligence won’t protect you from bad or unhealthy mental states, or keep you safe from cults of any sort. Intelligence will just make it easier for you to rationalize and attempt to justify the malformed tools you’ve taken/been given to yourself and others. You need to be wise enough to challenge yourself.

As a cult survivor, this is lethally accurate.

Ok so like in the avatar world you would thing that waterbenders would be the fire fighters right? Like a bunch a of waterbenders just getting water from a lake or a river and dousing the fire. But you know what’s better? Firebender fire fighters. Just like someone’s house catches on fire and firebenders just… turn it off,,.. Just like no, the fire is done for today

honestly this would be a much better solution because you could avoid all the water damage

House: Is on fire

Firebending Firefighter:

The reason why people only read headlines is because news sites are either completely unusable and ad-infested or blocked by a paywall

Hello, I am from Belgium and there is a petition against the ban, you can sign it here! 

Each flavor was totally unique. But, combine one flavor with another, and something new was created!

Hey yeah this is very important.

Amongst some of the things than could happen are:

• Downloading, and distribution of PDF files would be illegal, as well as photocopying books.

• Downloading files for academic investigations would become illegal.

• English, robotics, and engineering workshops would become illegal.

• Costs in education would increase.

• Amongst the things that would turn illegal too, would be electronic repairing businesses, and only those businesses with authorized licenses could work.

• It would be illegal to add components to electronic devices, such as RAM memories, better processors, amongst others, regardless of the fact that said components were bought legally.

• Maintenance costs would increase as it would be illegal to fix your own electronic devices, even if it’s just a small touch up.

If things weren’t already bad, the way we use the internet would be affected.

• Access to internet would become more expensive, new taxes would be added to platforms as well as media.

• Internet providing services could block the access to downloading images, music, videos, books,  pretty much any content that could be found on the internet, including memes.

And last but not least.

Internet censorship.

“If someone points out any post or publication that violates authors rights, said post or publication must be hidden, eliminated, or disabled without previous notice, proof, or any jurisdictional order coming from the internet provider (…)”

Thus anyone, corporations and organizations, could demand for anything to be deleted and there wouldn’t be any reason to stop them as they would protect themselves with alleged authors right accusations.

Overall, our government looks forward to silencing us, keeping us quiet and not allowing us of freedom of speech.

This can have awful consequences, as we would be silenced for expressing our political views and content would be manipulated to fit a certain political narrative.

369 votes were given in favor to this law, 0 against it and 1 abstention.

I am asking for everyone out there to please share this. My future and many others would be greatly affected by this law, many people could lose their jobs and fall deeper into the ever growing line of poverty that Mexico has.

We can’t allow for the government to keep us silenced and censored.

yes, sir? (professor!kenobi x reader)

“You wanted to see me, Professor Kenobi?” You kept your voice light and soft as you cracked open the door to his office.

So…JK Rowling is now deliberately linking her sexual assault and domestic abuse with trans women (utterly abhorrent) and saying that “any man” can get a gender recognition certificate and use this to enter women only spaces (blatantly untrue).

If you can’t see the blatant TERF dogwhistles in this I cannot help you. She has clearly been radicalised because this what TERFs do. They prey on women’s traumas and use this to brainwash them into supporting their cause. They prey on the fears of the vulnerable and twist them for their own bigoted and vile agenda.

JK Rowling will not listen to us now. We can only hope at some point she breaks away and starts to truly listen and educate herself.

The best we can do is support trans youth *especially* trans women and trans women of colour even more so; who are more likely than any minority to experience abuse, mental illness, bullying, homelessness, sexual assault/rape and murder.

A person with such a high platform as JK is going to do serious damage to the trans cause we must combat this!

Not just with petty posts of how much she sucks but with action. Donate to trans charities, educate those around you, write to your government, those of you who follow me in the UK write to your MP about the revision of the Gender Recognition Act Review. This has been underway since 2018 and would allow trans people to change their gender without waiting years for appointments at gender clinics and jumping through nonsensical hoops.

Do not allow transmisogyny and transphobia to go on unchallenged.

We must make sure the world is a place where trans women are loved and supported and leave people like JK in the past where they are choosing to stay.

Donate here:

Agreed, and I for one am ready to throw down.

So, from now until the end of August, 2020, all profits from the sale of my book, Illthdar: Guardians of Las, will be donated to Gendered Intelligence.

This is a UK based not-for-profit that specifically works with lgbtqai+ people of colour.

You can buy my book online at Barnes and Noble, Waterstones, Amazon and Feedaread. HOWEVER, the overhead costs for the others are higher than Feedaread, so if you want more of that money to go to the charity, I recommend buying directly through them.

THIS RIGHT HERE

You guys are dangerously close to realizing specifically what kinds of people they keep from voting and why.

I want to drill this into everybody’s head:

Oh and we have privatized prisons which allow companies to actually make money off of keeping people incarcerated 

Here’s what’s really perverse: prisoners, who cannot vote, still get counted in the U.S. Census. The more prisoners a county has, the more representation it gets, even though the prisoners cannot vote. See how that works? The more black and brown people they lock up, the more government resources and political representation they get. Even though those prisoners have no say and cannot vote.

If county-A has a population of 50 voters but no prisons, and county-B has a population of 50 voters and 50 prisoners, the county with the prisoners gets more government funding and more political represention. This is sometimes called “prison gerrymandering” and it is used in redistrictring.

Not so fun Fact: Southern states that reliably vote for Republicans also have the highest prison population in the United States. (source). So mass incarceration is a double whammy. It’s both a form of voter suppression and a tool to strengthen white people’s political power.

i am on the FLOOR

natgeotravel: Ha'a Keaulana, daughter of Brian Keaulana and the grand daughter of legendary Buffalo Keaulana carries a 50 pound boulder while running across the sea floor to train for surfing. Her father teaches surfers that they should train for a four wave hold down in case of a wipeout in big surf. At 13 second intervals between waves, that means about a minute of being held down. It is one thing to hold your breath in a swimming pool for a minute and it something completely different to swim down 30 feet, pick up a huge rock and then run as hard as you can for a minute. Thanks to her lineage, community and training, Ha’a is a true water woman from Makaha. Hawaiians have saltwater running through their veins and epitomize what it means to be connected to the sea.

She isn’t just running with a 50 pound rock, but she has three dudes acting as a drag! That is just…wow. holy hot damn!

What an icon!

Obedience

“Don’t move,” Obi-Wan whispers, eyes roaming your naked body. 

You can feel his gaze crawling up your body, slow and heated. You’re already at your most vulnerable, lying naked with your arms above your head, just the way he liked you. 

Still, somehow his eyes seem to take you apart, strip you down to nothing with a look so intense it’s almost intimate, and should only be reserved for lovers. You’re nothing of the sort, just an outlet for his desire, but nothing more. The darkness in his eyes would unsettle you if it didn’t turn you on so much.
