But I do know I'm back motherfuckers

💀 Unus Annus Cryptids 💀

I can’t believe this is gonna end in just a few hours…I wish the channel would stay but at the same time..the message is important.

These are just four of my favourite cryptids these two idiots created. I love SCP Amy too but personally it feels like SCPs are kinda a different thing from cryptids.

This year was a complete shit show, but it was made so much better by Unus Annus. Thank you so much, Eef and Annus.

Memento Mori ~ Unus Annus

YESSSS!!!!!

Lets talk about this.

Absolutely. The Electoral College functions to stand in the way of the will of the people, as expressed through their votes, and who gets into elected office.

It’s obsolete.

Caption: Twitter thread written by user Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez reading, “I see Fox News is big mad about abolishing the electoral college (EC).

So, let’s talk about it.

1.) If the GOP were the “silent majority” they claim, they wouldn’t be so scared of a popular vote.

They know they aren’t the majority. They rely on establishing minority rule for power.

2.) This common claim about “if we don’t have the Electoral College then a handful of states will determine the presidency” is BS. A.) It’s the EC itself that breaks down power by state; popular vote decentralizes it. B.) The EC makes it so a handful of states do determine elections.

3.) Lastly, this concept that the EC provides “fairness” to rural Americans over coastal states doesn’t hold any water whatsoever. First of all, virtually every state has rural communities. New York. California. Much of our states are rural.

But very importantly…

4.) We do not give electoral affirmative action to any other group in America. Do Black Americans have their votes count more because they have been disenfranchised for hundreds of years? Do Reservations get an electoral vote? Do Puerto Rico and U.S. territories get them? No. They don’t.

5.) The EC isn’t about fairness at all; it’s about empowering some voters over others.

Every vote should be = In America, no matter who you are or where you come from. The right thing to do is establish a popular vote, and the GOP will do everything they can to fight it.” End caption.

I hope all the trans girls reading this know that they're awesome and I love them.

I hope all the trans guys reading this know that they're incredible and I love them.

I hope all the nonbinary cryptids reading this know that they're incomprehensible and I love them.

I hope all the nonbinary folks who do not think of themselves as cryptids know that they're super cool and I love them.

Help stop the gassing of Immigrants!!

We need to do more than sign a petition. Don't shut up about this.

Hey, followers?

Don't scroll past this.

There are people in the notes saying this isn’t a gassing and it’s “just” a disinfectan0 being sprayed on surfaces to avoid covid, and people are “just” having allergic reactions to it

That post explains better what this chemical is and what is going on.

“The guards are spraying this disinfectant in retaliation for the report [that revealed the deplorable health conditions in detention centers]. To be clear - HDQ is an industrial-strength disinfectant, which according to the manufacturer is “harmful if inhaled” and “causes severe skin burns and serious eye damage.” The guards are spraying it on everything every 15-30 minutes, according to sources, and immigrants in the center have already experienced severe symptoms including blisters, rashes, bleeding, fainting, breathing difficulties, headaches, stomach pain, and nausea.

It’s not just allergic reactions. That’s a severe misunderstanding of what disinfectants do and a refusal to acknowledge how serious this is and WHY people are freaking out.

No, they’re not literally being gassed in the grandiose (gore-iose?) way you’d think of - being shoved into an iron chamber like animals that then is filled with gas that melts their skin... But they are still being forced to into small areas with harmful fumes and surfaces covered in chemicals that are made to eat living matter.

If you had to be in a room for days and weeks with bleach or peroxide all over everything, you don’t need to be allergic to start having severe reactions. Cleaning chemicals say to use protective gear and ventilate the area for a REASON.

This is really not okay. It wasn’t okay before, and now it’s worse than it was.

I work as a university custodian. This is the chemical we’re using to sanitize surfaces we’ve cleaned due to coronavirus. We’re not supposed to spray it directly on any surfaces. We spray it onto a cloth and then wipe surfaces with it. It’s supposed to dry before people come into contact with those surfaces. Once it dries on water fountains it’s rinsed off (I don’t know if it actually does anything to rinse it off when it’s already dried but that’s the procedure - we have to let it dry to make sure it’s had enough time to kill virus particles). That’s in university buildings with extra ventilation that are sanitized twice a day. This is horrifying.

Is that the stuff planes are spraying over the city all the time now?

So there’s this huge dudebro in my class, who, yesterday, sat next to me. And I’m sitting there sweating because like… I’m wearing my shirt with the lesbian flag on it, and he’s the most popular jock in school, and always has this look on his face that say ‘I can and will kill you’. He looks me up and down, stares at me for a minute and then goes, “So. Girls in skirts and long socks, am I right?”

To which I nodded solemnly, both out of agreement, surprise and also a healthy amount of awkward fear. He nodded and went, “You get it.”

I said, “Yep.” He fistbumped me, and on went our lives.

Oh! I forgot to mention! I saw him at lunch the same day, and he ran up to me, tapped me on the shoulder, pointed at this super sweet girl who comes to GSA and asked if she’s gay. I told him he should ask her because that’s not my place and he said he would.

I thought that would be the end of it.

Except ten minutes later he came back and told me he found out (she’s bi) and that both of us have a shot. I said “You more than me.” because he’s attractive and popular. 

But this wholesome dumbass looked really confused and asked, “Because I’m tall?’

So this isn’t lesbian/jock solidarity but I thought you guys would want to know-

My math teacher was trying to fix the rolling whiteboard and he just offhand said “This would be easier with a wrench”

And deadass, dudebro said “Hang on” and then proceeded to pull a fucking wrench out of his backpack

Update- after school today he saw me in the library and he didn’t say anything? He just pointed at the book he was holding and I gave him a thumbs up because it’s a pretty good book, and he went “Yes!” Really quiet and pumped his fist and then left

Okay so today he asked me if I know how to help people having a panic attack and I was like yeah? And he smiled at me and then went “cool I think I’m having one”

And I was like what the fuck Colin we’re in the middle of Tech class sit down and we went out in the hall and sat there for a while and he told me about the test he’s stressed about so we kind of went over his study guide and when he was feeling better he kind of like… smacked his head against mine gently? And I helped him up even though he’s almost a foot taller than me and yeah

Today at lunch we walked to the football field and laid in the grass and I told him thank you for being my friend (because I don’t have that many) and fistbumped me and said, “You always looked so nice and chill, how could I not want to be your friend?”

And honestly y’all, I would’ve started crying if he hadn’t sneezed and accidentally smacked me

Was anyone gonna tell me Vincent Martella, voice of Phineas Flynn on the Disney Channel original show Phineas and Ferb is on some absolute king shit on his twitter or did i just have to see this amazing series of tweets myself?

There’s more just go fucking look yourself

BOY’S ON SOME REAL KING SHIT LEMME TELL YA

I have to add this gem

Defense attorney co sign.

You make your attorneys job harder when you speak to the cops.

So, credit where due, this is a screen grab from the Twitter account @BeattyLaw, an actual defense attorney, so it’s doubly attorney-endorsed.

He also has a few more (I will not speak for @yourbigsisnissi and can’t say whether she also endorses these:

I don’t know this guy, I just follow him on Twitter, but I’ll encourage you, if you’re on Twitter, maybe go and hit that retweet on these too - folks there need this advice as much as we do here.

if you’re white and you act like race issues are just “unnecessary drama” or “discourse” then sorry to tell you but you’re just…. racist

yes white people CAN and probably SHOULD reblog this just dont add on anything.

ok but we gotta talk more about vintage halloween costumes, we GOTTA

ESPECIALLY the diy ones. back before costumes were mass-manufactured, people were left to their own devices and shit got WILD.

It was an absolute free-for-all. back before you could buy a batman mask in a drug store for $5, people really just did whatever

and it was FABULOUS

bonus points to these early commercialization attempts. yes that is a batman dress

anyway there is a basic human drive to wear weird-ass clothing and we should incorporate this shamelessness into our daily lives. only the most meagre of social laws prevent you from dunking yourself in body glitter and wearing a cape & pointy hat to the grocery story on a regular basis. revise your life accordingly.

A fun reminder that Aang was a terrifyingly powerful Avatar.

Most Avatars are informed of their newfound destinies at the age of 16 to begin their training. Because of the approaching war Aang was told of his status at the age of 12. He had already mastered airbending, and in the span of a year he mastered the other three elements, the avatar state, and energybending. He also learned lightning redirection and seismic sense (a technique no previous Avatar had even encountered). In the span of a year.

This child was a terrifying force of nature.
