Oh shit. I never realized this.

This is a depressing reality every 4th of July.

So they go around the world bombing and killing people and then expect us to feel sorry for them?? Nah son, you deserve it.

me if i ever find out any of my neighbors are veterans

Hmmm. I mean, just because the army as an institution is flawed and damaging doesn’t mean everyone in it is a terrible person. To paint every single veteran with the same brush is reductive and to make light of the debilitating mental disorders many have just seems wrong. Like yes, fuck the military as an institution completely 100%, but blaming disabled ex-front-line infantry maybe isn’t the best direction for our anger, perhaps.

A lot of veterans are poor people who were intentionally targeted by scouting programs coming to their schools starting at age 13, and most of them are worse off coming back than they were to start with… let’s be courteous to folks with PTSD

Don’t be an ableist fuckface. Intentionally triggering someone is disgusting.

I thought people on this godforsaken website at least understood this one basic principal, but apparently not, so let me make it crystal clear: 

IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO BE SELECTIVELY PROGRESSIVE 

You can hate Ann Coulter. But if you suggest that she deserves to be raped, you are a misogynist.

You can hate Woody Allen. But if you say he’s part of a Jewish conspiracy or joke about putting him in an oven, you are an antisemite.

You can hate Michael Vick. But you call for him to be lynched or call him the N-word, you are an anti-black racist. 

You can hate Caitlyn Jenner. But if you misgender her, or make comments about her genitalia, you are a transphobe. 

And you can hate the military. But if you deliberately try to trigger veterans with PTSD, you are an ableist piece of shit. 

You do no get to pick and choose which people to treat fairly when it comes to acknowledging and combatting prejudice. 

Not liking a person is not a free pass to disregard anti-prejudicial words and actions. Either you respect marginalized peoples as a whole (even if you don’t like an individual), or you don’t respect them at all. There is no middle ground. 

If anyone really like, agrees with harassing veterans with PTSD or anything similar, unfollow me right the fuck now. I don’t want you following me.

You don’t have to like the military, it’s massively fucked up but y'all needs understand that most people in the military are victims of propaganda and are usually poor or part of a minority who are taken advantage of in order to join.

^^^ All of these comments tbh

Mhmm

They offered the ASVAB at my HIGH SCHOOL. They CAME INTO MY SCHOOL and said “If you guys take the military aptitude test, you get free donuts and you miss the first half of the day.” They brought in hot dogs. They brought food to a place where half of us were in poverty if not more, and they said, all you have to do is take a little test and you’ll get a snack, you don’t have to come in to school on time (an extra full hour of sleep that morning!). So we did. By the hundreds. My younger brother, a year behind me in school, scored “the highest we’ve ever seen in the whole damn state, son,” and for the next. Three. Fucking. Years. They harassed him. He got phone calls from every goddamn branch of the military. People would show up at our house at random, trying to recruit him. They’d tell him horror stories about how much better it is to enlist than be drafted (as if there’d been a draft in our lifetime!). They called our Mom at work. They sent recruiters to talk to our stepfather, who’d been in the Army, to try to get a handle on my brother’s weak points. THREE FUCKING YEARS OF THIS. My brother is the second child of six. My brother was thirteen by the time he had his own pillow for the first time. My brother was hungry all the time, dizzy from hunger some days–and oh, sidenote, my mother, stepfather and father are all abusive assholes who’d as soon hit you as look at you. Guess what year my brother graduated? If you guessed “May, 2002,” or “almost immediately after 9/11,” ding ding ding ding! The ONLY REASON my brother didn’t join the military, in the end, is that his girlfriend at the time said “If you enlist, I will never speak to you again.” Her dad was a military man, and he was also an abusive shithead, so in her head the two were inextricable. But if she’d said “go for it?” Or if she hadn’t said anything at all? Something like half of the males in my fucking graduating class enlisted. It was better than starving. And a great number of those are dead now. I hate the US military industry. I’m disgusted by the things our military does. But by god I don’t blame our veterans for what was done to them. Rich people don’t enlist. The ones who join the military are the ones who are hopeful that for once they’ll know that they’re getting a meal, not just today but tomorrow too.

Every damn point of the thread.

The soldiers are, by and large, as much a victim as anyone else.

Also don’t forget that as huge part of the American military are non-citizens hoping to become citizens via their service. A lot don’t even get that. The people starting the wars and consigning so many to death aren’t the ones in combat. They have “heel spurs”.

One thing I’ve learned in life, if you act really self-assured and confident you can pretty much get away with anything.

For example, I’ve watched someone walk on to a plane with no passport. Just walked right on.

Once walked out of a dude’s house with a pair of his pants slung over my shoulder. Did all the usual eye-contact, saying-goodbye movements and noises, just… while stealing his pants. He did not notice. 

I told my English teacher that she graded my final paper(I did not turn one in) and that she told me it was well written. She scrambled 3 days trying to find the nonexistent paper, then apologized to me for losing it and gave me a 96%. Confidence is key

my dad’s mate just walked out of a shop with a canoe and didn’t get questioned

Humans are like bees: if they sense you’re an intruder all hell will break loose, but if you get inside the hive they just assume you belong there. Be confident.

Bee confident

This is funny but also true, and a huge tip when traveling. Act like you belong, and you won’t be bothered like other tourists might. Especially on public transportation… do your research ahead of time and look like a disinterested commuter and you’ll blend right in.

Fun Fact about Bees: they use pheromones to communicate and the pheromone to signal ALARM is the same chemical that makes bananas smell like bananas so if you eat a banana and then breathe on a beehive you will regret it and this seemed relevant when i started writing it

Fun tip for enemies

THIS

this was in the netherlands and there were also two at my local bus stop, its been the poster ive seen replaced the fastest :/

What’s funny is that the Netherlands is known as a super progressive and pro LGBTQ country (they were the first country to legalize gay marriage, pride here is a huge deal, and many of my friends deem it safe to be out), but even in my friend’s ultra-leftist neighborhood these posters were vandalized. It makes me so mad when people say “you don’t need more rights//you can marry, what else do you want//what oppression lol everyone is equal in the West :))))” because it’s so fucking ignorant and false.

Exactly this.

not to be gay on main

but I said gay rights babey!!!!!!

Hey loser @official-james-sullivan come say gay rights with me

Oh hey Mikey! Sorry I was busy saying trans rights

You… you said trans rights without me?

Mikey! You said gay rights without me! What was I supposed to do?

You could have waited so we could say trans rights together!!!!!

Mikey please don’t cry, I’m sorry… let me make it up to you

How???? Fucking how????

We could… uh… you know

Holy shit… you don’t mean…

I do, Mikey.

We can say gay AND trans rights!

TOGETHER!

Spongebob says gay and

non-binary rights babey!

Spongebob I 100% agree!!!!!

Solidarity

Am I too late to say ACE RIGHTS?

Holy shit, shrek! I haven’t seen you since high school!!! And it’s never too late to say ace rights!!!!

@writerinthelouvre your contribution was not necessary, helpful, or wanted! And it’s funny how you’re the only one who commented this on here when everyone else was trying to happily celebrate pride!

Get the fuck off my post you clown, we don’t want exclusionists here. Make your own post

oh my god-

Somebody had to say it. And I wasn’t gonna let the humans handle this one. Sick of this shit

@writerinthelouvre since you didn’t seem to get the point before..

Until asexuals can file for discrimination when discriminated against for their sexuality, we don’t have all the rights we deserve. Until asexuality is not classified as a mental disorder (HSDD) in the DSM IV, we do not have the rights we deserve. Until legally there is a ban against conversion therapy for all of the LGBTQ community, including aces, we do not have the rights we deserve. You have asexual tags on many of your posts, which confuses me more. I don’t know who hurt you to the point that you think because you aren’t being beat up right now by someone who hates you for being ace you have all the rights you deserve, but you don’t. You deserve better, too. But just because you’ve been hurt doesn’t give you the right to hurt innocent people by telling them the rights they do/don’t have according to your opinion

And ONCE AGAIN, since you didn’t seem to read my entire reply before! Tumblr has this thing you can do called “make your own fucking post” and you should really try it instead of commenting unnecessary and hateful things on my post celebrating pride!

@official-mikewazowski can we get a pan and bi pride for the back

Yes we sure can!

YALL MIND IF I JUST

We don’t mind at all! Join in and speak the truth!!!!!

this post speaks to me on deep levels…. so i feel obligated to perhaps…. maybe… ask about genderfluid pride,,,,??? i see these posts all the time and love them but!! i don’t see a lot for us genderfluid folks so it would be nice to hear some encouragement from the best green man 👀👀

Of course!!! You deserve rights and love and support just as much as everyone else on this post!

i’ve probably reblogged this post so many times now, but……..could we get some demigirl and demiboy rights?? i love seeing posts like these, but it would be nice to know that demigenders are appreciated too!! along with demisexuals and demiromantics!! <3 

Of course you can!

Here are all the rights you ordered! I hope they benefit you because you deserve it!

I identify as a man but the sheer audacity of the third option’s energy is making me question if I made the right decision

Rick Riordan finally snapped and released emails he sent to The Lightning Thief movie makers….

I can’t stop laughing

And he was right we HATED IT 

my writing ability currently feels on par with that of like…. a seven year old. i’m just writing one sentence. then another sentence. subject verb object, dependent clause period. do any of them relate? unclear. that is for god to decide. i certainly can’t.

the url makes this so much funnier 

When I see white girls: 😍 When I see brown girls: 😍 When I see Native girls: 😍 When I see Asian girls: 😍 When I see black girls: 😍 When I see light girls: 😍 When I see dark girls: 😍

When I see girls who lift up other girls, regardless of their skin color, and support eachother: 😍😍😍😍😍😍

hey quick question? why does this post exist

Oh for fucks sake.

BECAUSE ALL WOMEN ARE BEAUTIFUL, YOU LIMP ASS WAFFLE.

Nobody hates women like feminists.

Hello can I interest anyone in some hehe… in some tea? hehehe

yea sure i’ll have some

hoohoo ok here you go!

please enjoy ohoho…

ahehehehe here’s your T!! hoohoo gotcha! Happy pride month!!

Napoleon sighed. He thought the vials were ketamine. He needed some.

“you can’t be tired,” chortles a middle aged family friend, “you’re young!”

“really??” I exclaim. I had no idea. my exhaustion lifts off my shoulders, the bags under my eyes disappear. I no longer need sleep, due to my invigorating youth. I Am Free.

I read middle aged as Middle Aged and was expecting a plague reference.

“thou cannot have the black death,” the doctor scoffs behind his mask, “thou art youthful!”

“marry??” I exclaim. I hadst no idea. the fever lifts, mine own strength returns, the blackness fades from mine own skin. I am in perfect health, due to mine own most wondrous youth. I Am Free.

Y'know what I really fuckin hate?

Tiny houses.

Not the concept, the notion, the Platonic ideal of a low-cost low-impact high-efficiency dwelling. That’s great. That’s awesome.

What really imagines my dragons is that in practice about 9 times out of 10 tiny house communities are just a way for rich hipsters to finally fulfil their greatest fantasy:

They found a way to fucking gentrify the trailer park

listen i know you’re making a point here but i cant stop thinking about ‘imagines my dragons’

hey tumblr, stop romanticizing mental illness

•stop romanticizing mental illness

•stop romanticizing mental illness

•stop romanticizing mental illness

please

stop

stop

with

your

bullshit

tumblr

nobody appreciates this. it’s not cute. it’s not beautiful. stop it.

reblog if you agree.

PLEASE. STOP. IT.

As someone who was on here in 2012 (I was 14) this is probably the worst thing for me to see at that time. I know I’m mentally ill, every therapist I see tells me I have some sort of disorder (been told I’m depressed, bipolar, borderline, and autistic). A mentally ill preteen is going to see this shit and get comfortable in their illness instead of get better, it might even make them worse.

Y'all need to stop this shit.

Not in my watch, young man. I ain’t gonna have no straight pride in my birthday

hey gays! remember that thing we did lat year where pride didn’t seem to end until end august? yeah, let’s do that again!

Let’s make pride last all year

I mean, it is twentybiteen, the year of bisexuals, this is the second pride year in a row following twentygayteen.

friendly reminder that…

when the only poc in a character lineup is an antagonist, that has very racist implications whether they’re intentional or not. while representation matters and is important, it only counts when it’s positive representation. representing a marginalized group of people only through an antagonist, villain, or otherwise unlikeable character is negative representation, and might be harmful to the community you’re representing.

Just asking the important questions

Reblog this post with the third gif in the gif search of your favorite movie

I love these two

OKAY TUMBLR. IT'S TIME TO SETTLE THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL.

Reblog this if you pronounce “.gif” as “GIF.”

NOT JIF,

GIF.

And here is the link for the opposite.

WE SHALL SEE WHICH ONE PREVAILS.

ohhh i DEEPLY regret teaching my cat how to talk

Oh? Would you elaborate?

okay so one night like a week or two ago kurt was meowing at me and one of the meows sounded like he was saying “hewwo” so since then I started saying “hewwo” instead of meowing back at him (like I do with all his cat sounds, naturally) and slowly his meows evolved into something vaguely “hewwo”like with the one or two True and Powerful Hewwo’s a day

but now that you have backstory I was just standing in my kitchen making rice, everythings dead silent, and suddenly this fucking “HEWWO??” echoes through the whole apartment and it almost killed me

I actually got in huge trouble with my fiance’s sister for that. One night, I heard Fish meowing and it kinda sounded like she was saying “hello” so I decided to encourage it. If no one was going to try to get the cat to stop screaming at 3am, I wanted to try to get her to scream words so everyone would be as disturbed about it as I was. For the better part of three years, I used treats to reward her whenever she “spoke” while not letting anyone else know I was trying to teach her stuff.

One day, my fiance’s sister goes to give Fish a treat and the cat whiffs it. Misses the treat completely and it bounces under the fridge, so she’s trying to stick her paw under to get it back.

“Oh no, Fish. You lost your snack!”

“I know I know.”

Instant chaos. It wasn’t even Fish’s best words. If she had only said it once, maybe no would have noticed, but the repetition got attention and everyone just lost it. I made the mistake of praising Fish and suddenly I have the sister turn on me. “Are you why she says ‘oh no’ all the time?” Apparently Fish rarely “meows” properly anymore and will say “Oh no” whenever she’s mildly inconvenienced and wants a human to fix it for her.

corn cat…reblog for a plentiful harvest

I was afraid not to. 

corn cat, pls give to me many corn

If a girl feels uncomfortable hanging out with you alone, and you get so offended by that, it makes you angry, she probably made the right choice.

I know I’ve reblogged this recently but still so spot the fuck on.

In general if a dude gets angry by you declining an invitation you made the right choice to say no

If they get angry when you say “no” to hanging out with them, what else are they going to get angry about you saying “no” to?

^^ Slight side note: When I was online dating I used to do what so many of us do; set up a safety check with a friend. I used to be really slick about it; take a restroom break or quietly/subtle check and answer a text. Then I realized what a good marker it was to check if I wanted to actually be on this date at all. So at whatever time check in was supposed to be, I would pull out my phone and say “sorry, I just have to let my friend know I’m good”. If someone was vaguely offended, I might stay depending on the convo we had after. If someone was SUPER offended, I said “this is exactly why. Thanks for meeting me, I’ve got to go.”  This happened three times I can remember and the first time my voice was shaking so bad as I said it because, you know. You never know what their response is going to be and he was so aggressively angry I was ending the date “over that”. 

The person I ended up with? “Ah, yay-I’m-not-murdered check. Good plan.” Then when my phone was buzzing later (because we ended up on a five hour date on a Monday night) he goes “you should probably let them know you’re still alive. Do you have to go?” 

 *No woman I was ever on a date with was mad about this. Not one. 

This is just like testing the breaks before driving an unfamiliar car guys, and you do NOT drive a car with no breaks. If they can’t handle “no,” it’s not safe for you to say, “yes,” and you need to gtfo of there so you don’t get run over.

Also, OP I love your url, it is perfect for this post.

everyone who reads this post will get some big spicy joy within 24 large minutes (hours)

Ok y'all but like I’m not even kidding about this I read this post yesterday and today I got an email from the peeps at hamilton and I won the lotto gor $10 tickets and I would like to give all my thanks to the internet’s favorite fish, Goldie Gurston, for making this possible because I totally believe they did this with their amazing gay powers

So I know this is likely a coincidence…but I reblogged this and just now discovered I’ve been given a $150 amazon gift card as a bonus at work. So thank you, fish!

I want big spicy joy…
