!!!IMPORTANT FOR BLACK US VOTERS!!!

I saw this on Facebook and went to check my registration status, sure it was fine because I voted recently, but I put in the info and it said I’m not registered

PLEASE, especially if you’re a Black voter, check your registration status at vote.org

Know your status

Does your last name sound anything like Lopez, Martinez, or Rodriguez? Mine does. When I saw this post I checked my voter registration status online with my state. Despite registering just three months ago, I was no longer registered to vote, and I did not receive my ballot. If you live in a mail-in voting state and you didn’t get your ballot, contact your county election official/county clerk for a replacement.

Make sure you check with your state’s voting site as well. I just had the shit scared out of me because that website said I was registered, but when I checked my state’s site (and made sure I had the right county selected) it said I was registered.

It’s worth checking your state’s site every few months anyway (especially when any election is coming up).

Texas is definitely purging voters. They’re also making it harder to re-register if they purged you. I hate that this is true, but POC will need to check and check frequently to stay registered in Texas.

College students, too. In the 2014 election, I had to vote in San Marcos, and I can’t tell you how many Texas State students were turned away because they didn’t cross all the t’s and dot all the i’s on getting their registration transferred and current.

IMPORTANT Y’ALL.

Republicans are openly saying they are trying to restrict voting, and you can be damn sure the people they want to suppress are poc. So make sure you and you’re family are registered, esp if you live in a red state with republican controlled state houses.

Reblog this over and over again, until everyone who has been suppressed by the GOP sees it.

Weird how opening spotify in a web browser with a decent ad blocker allows you to skip ads just like would happen if you had premium. Sure hope no one takes advantage of that.

Sure hope nobody modifies the hosts file in C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc to block Spotify ads in the app…

PSST! HERE’S A TUTORIAL ON HOW TO BLOCK SPOTIFY ON WINDOWS!

aw man I sure hope nobody learns to do that

that’s so messed up that people would do that

in fact, let’s spread it everywhere so everyone knows not to do that

and everyone knows exactly what to do so that they don’t do that

Anyone can help!

(Real pen the last picture)

It is important for EVERYONE to know how to help ANYONE. Not everyone can give them selves their medicine under every circumstance. Be educated, help out.

In the last year, i have gotten about five new violent allergies from foods i used to be able to eat. Next time i eat a fruit, my throat could close. I may not be able to inject myself. My boyfriend and i played with my trainer pen for like 30 minutes. He knows how to inject it. I know how. This is important.

Blue to the sky

Orange to the thigh

Important to know.

full offense but cis people dont get to call us shemales and trannies and femboys and traps and “its”, and campaign to “drop the T” in LGBT and deprive trans people of resources and beat the shit out of us in bathrooms and make fun of us for having “baby faces” and strip us of our rights and murder us for being trans and joke about how we “identify as an apache attack helicopter”, only to turn around and call themselves “allies” when they police OUR identities, just because they call themselves “cis transmeds”! i cant!! im not fucking allowing it!!!

cis people i implore you to rb this

Cis people better reblog this

It's almost like guns are tools designed to kill people, and having a tool designed to kill people makes it easier to kill people.

wait is this true

did we actually have gun control at some point in the recent past?

yes. there’s a study for you on the effect it had as well conducted by the natn’l institute of justice.

LIT THANKS!!

And what's really going to bake your noodles, kids. The push for gun control in the US really got going in the late 60's by a Republican Govenor, Ronald Reagan AND the NRA.

What could have given the modern Republican party a spine, you ask? Well, it was those darn Black people of course! The Black Panther Party to be exact.

Long story short, the Panthers, in response to police brutality and systemic oppression, Panters urged Black people to arm themselves and to protect their own neighborhoods. They showed up to the state house with their rifles and handguns...

And faster than you can reload a fully automatic weapon, Reagan and the NRA were like, oh, Hell no! We need Gun Control! And that became the Mulford Act of 1967 which banned the open carrying of firearms. Go figure.

Bottom line, if it benefits the white supremacist power structure, this country can and will do anything. Big sigh. The hypocrisy is mind numbing.

And that's today's, The More You Know.

I wish there was a show like My Cat from Hell but with autistic people

Autism Parent™: My kind won’t stop throwing tantrums
Autistic Expert: Well A) those are meltdowns NOT tantrums B) they have no control over this and C) stop touching them without their consent and forcing them into overwhelming situations
Autism Parent ™: I just want my kid to say “I love you”
Autistic Expert: They have been telling you they love you by infodumping to you and spending time in the same room as you. You just refuse to listen.
Autism Parent ™: They behave so weird. I want them to stop.
Autistic Expert: Have you ever talked to an autistic adult to learn about what autistic body language looks like? Well stop expecting them to act neurotypical, they are not. Their behavior makes actually absolutely sense for an autistic person.

Feel free to add more examples :)

Parent: My kid screams after dinner every evening

Expert: Your dishwasher is really loud and makes the floor vibrate, have you tried running the dishwasher later?

Parent: My kid won’t eat

Expert: Now it could be for the forced eye contact and physical proximity of the family dinner table, it could also be a matter of texture, colour or certain tastes like bitter or sour, let’s try different things.

Parent: My kid yells when I want them to do homework straight away when we get back from school

Expert: The social part of school is draining for your child, have a nap/quiet-time then do homework

Parent: my child hates their grandfather and goes silent when we’re at their house.

Expert: Grandfather demands hugs, calls child a wierdo when they share their interests, calls them a wuss for having food preferences and keeps the tv on at high volume even during conversations, what did you expect?

Parent: My child is deliberately embarrasing me in front of my friends

Expert: It’s not about you. Children don’t set out to deliberatly embarrass their parents, that’s paranoid nonsense. Also stop dragging your child to events you know will be unpleasant to them.

Parents: I’m devastated, my child is wierd and everyone can tell and people look at me like i’m wierd and they’re not going to give me grandchildren or a wedding or become a lawyer like me and my father before me or a sports star and doesn’t like many of my interests…

Expert: You self absorbed asshole. Your child is not a mini-me, not there to fulfill your lost dreams, or fill in for adult friendships. If you can’t change and learn to appreciate what’s interesting about your kid and only see negatives and milestones that even a neurotypical child might not achieve anyway, I’m calling child services.

Parent: My kid is terrible at school, they won’t sit still in class and chatter all the time and ask the teacher lots of questions and prefer playing cards to tag

Expert: What are their grades like?

Parent: Very good,*sigh* I guess. Teachers have been quite enthusiastic but…

Expert: That’s your child’s way of focusing and socializing. You have a smart child and can’t even say so because you’re focusing on the differences again.

Parent: My child never tells me if they’re happy or sad.

Expert: Look closer, what gestures mean I’m in pain? what gestures mean i’m happy? Kid has been humming snippets of songs, tapping fingers and sat close to you but beside the sofa on the floor during this conversation. Happy, paying attention and wanting to be close to you. Right kid? You doing ok there?

Kid: *current kid slang for yeah dude totally rad but without tone* goes back to humming

so can we have the show already please? We really for serious need this

isn’t this like super nanny? i never watched it but i heard someone call it that

well I sure hope so?

A couple things here…

1. How do you suppose the 1960 conservatives would react to the idea of a President who has close ties to the leader of Russia? What would they say about the fact that so many of his followers are literal Nazis?

2. If AOC appeared to be a lunatic to 1960 Americans, it would be because the principle thing she advocates for–the 70% marginal tax rate–was policy at that time. So she’d be running around going “Marginal tax rates should be 70%!” and everyone would go “…yes? They are? Shouldn’t you, a sitting member of Congress, know that?”

The marginal tax rate in 1962 was 87% percent.

That’s how the 1960s had the money to build highways and go to the fucking moon.

Reblogging for the comments

Why would you ever go to the gym to workout when you can do Zumba by dancing along to Just Dance videos on YouTube of your favorite songs?

I believe you have this inverted.  It’s the Gen-Z, Millennials and general snowflakes who NEED “Safe Spaces” and places to cower and cry and scream like a 3 year old brat who didn’t get what he most wanted for Christmas.  Some colleges have even reported having to use large rooms filled with baby cribs to placate the overly-sensitive college-age students and let them relax until they feel safe enough to leave.  Some of these kids stay all day there instead of going to classes.  This is fucking batshit insane!
