Sadly, the first person to be diagnosed with autism, Donald Triplett, passed away 2 days ago. He was 89. That's how recent the diagnosis as a category is.
May Donald be at peace, and may his memory be a blessing to all who knew him.

How dare you leave this Jason Todd discourse in the tags.
There’s this ask reddit post about your weirdest childhood and the story is about this guy who was playing in the woods by a creek with his friend when a guy in full late 1800s formal clothing including a top hat just walked out of the forest, said “Hello boys!” and kept walking. This is why I want historical clothing so badly. The ultimate prank.
give someone something to think about for the rest of their life
be the ghost encounter YOU want to see in this world
This reminds me of my great uncle who used to hunt with a musket because he enjoyed the feel of it, and he also had an assortment of deer hide clothes he’d made or bought from local first nations, and he went out hunting when he was like 14 and got lost and came across this man in the woods and was like,,,,, can you help, i’m lost. and the guy looks him up and down and my uncle realizes he’d unintentionally dressed in all his deerskin clothes and a coonskin cap when the guy asks him, “how long have you been lost for?”

It genuinely upsets me that there are people who call this animation and voice acting bad, there’s so much heart and soul on display in just this clip alone
At first glance: ‘lol this is going to be one of those hilariously cheap animations’
30 seconds in: ‘…Oh my god this is fantastic’

Anonymous asked:
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but why do people use the term "xtian/xianity?"
Hi there! I hope you’re having a good day.
So there are a number of reasons people might choose to shorten Christianity/Christian to Xianity/Xian (or Xtianity/Xtian). And because that’s highly individual-specific, I doubt any explanation I give could cover them all, but the reasons I see the most often are:
1) Ease. It’s just shorter to type. So it’s used for the same reason any abbreviation would be, and there’s not much deeper motivation than that.
2) Avoiding using the term “Christ.” “Christ” translates to “messiah” and even tacit recognition of the Jesus figure as the messiah is something that some people, and some Jewish people specifically, choose to avoid. So they remove the term and replace it with X.
3) Not ending up in Christianity-specific tags/spaces. Sometimes someone doesn’t want their post to wind up being sent around by Christian tumblr, and there’s a host of reasons that might be the case, so they don’t use the word Christianity and shorten it to make that happening less likely.
I’ve never seen it done as an intentional mark of disrespect (and indeed don’t see how it could be disrespectful, as X or XP are Christian-origin abbreviations), at least in my anecdotal experience.
Another reason is because of it's origins. See, X is the Greek letter that means "chi" which is the first letter from the word "Χριστός" or "Christós" meaning "anointed one." Which in turn is where the word "Christ" derives from. This is why we actually have terms like "X-Mas." So it's not actually removing the Christ title, just shortening it.

Having your own personal blog is honestly quite a nice change of pace compared to Reddit. I could put a funny GIF of George Bush getting hit by a shoe on here and the worse case scenario is that no one even notices.
You put that on a big subreddit and you get your eyes gouged out and a heap of political discourse underneath your post.
YOU HEAR THAT EVERYONE??? I’M A LIL GECKO BOY
