I'm your basic average girl, and I'm here to save the world, you can't stop me cause I'm Kim Po-ssi-ble

me walking into the animal shelter: hi id like the stupidest cat you have

sometimes my cat won’t eat her dinner so i thought i was tricking her into eating by putting a few treats on it but she’s actually tricked me into feeding her treats and i want a stupider cat

Literally what I said to the woman at the shelter. I want the dumbest cat you have

Look at him, he’s got no brain cells. You can hear the elevator music playing in his empty skull. I love him

you look into this animals eyes and you can tell absolutely nothing is going on in there i am so happy for you

His tag says “Long Boy Bob” 😂😂

Reblog= equals one pat For long boy bob

Like= more cat treats 

can you imagine how the whole energybending scene must have looked to Sokka and Suki

Sokka: “ohmygod, I think aang’s losing!”

Suki: “you dont know that, maybe red is aang’s color”

Sokka: “you think the motherfucker who was planning to genocide the entire world with fire has a *blue aura*??”

Toph: “what the FUCK are you guys TALKING about”

Sokka: it's the same color as his tattoos, of COURSE Aang is blue.

Toph: Aang has tattoos?

The fact that Asami was a rich kid/is a fucking CEO and Korra has not worked an actual job ever.....you KNOW when they’re on dates Korra is like “idk how much to tip so I’m gonna give the waitress $200 she seems nice” and Asami is like “yeah that seems right!”

when ur like “im gettin a gay vibe” and your straight friend is like “uhhh idk that seems….forced….” and u gotta pull out your fuckin phd from gay college and your private gay detective license and your federal bureau of investigaytion badge like sit fuckin down buddy i got credentials and also an opinion the truth is out there my guy

mä tiedän että tää on vitsi, mutta mulla on paperi, joka kertoo, että oon opiskellut queer-teoriaa ja olen saatanan hyvä siinä

älkää käykö mulle, perkele. vastakarvaanluen teidät suohon jollei tavalliset tekstianalyysin keinot riitä. saatana.

I don’t know really what this means but that singular “satan.” is fucking killing me

It’s translated almost correctly except it is “I will read you into the swamp if.. ”

This refers to a Finnish folktale where Väinämöinen (a wizard) sings his opponent Joukahaisen into a swamp almost drowning him (Joukahaisen promised his sister as a wife for Väinämöinen in order to save himself)

Satan=Saatana is commonly used curseword in the Finnish language and used like Goddammit except more rude.

!!! thank you for helping me understand!!! This is actually rly cool!!

Guys, guys, let’s get back into Animorphs!!!

They are all free to read with Applegate’s permission on the animorphs website!

Oh yeah babey

She has also written some absolutely amazing books recently.

These are just a few of them. I read The One and Only Ivan to my students every year (and there’s a sequel coming out in May!).

Every one of her books I’ve read has been beautifully written. Yes, they’re written for children, but you won’t regret reading a single one of them. Applegate is hands-down my favorite middle grades author.

Read. Her. Books.

This whole obsession with wheelchair users struggling on foot down the aisle at their wedding or across the stage for graduation is 100% powered by ableism.

“The heartwarming story of how one woman worked for 8 months straight so she could escape the horror that is being in wheelchair for a few short minutes to struggle slowly and painfully down the aisle on her special day.”

“the horror that is being in a wheelchair” bitch it’s hella better than struggling slowly & painfully down the aisle ffs

“Despite being permanently paralyzed, her one goal since her accident has been to walk across the stage for graduation. The whole crowd gave her a standing ovation and broke into tears when she dragged her paralyzed legs across the stage with the help of leg braces and a walker to collect her diploma, after which she immediately sat back down in her wheelchair, which she will use to move around for the rest of her life.”

How the hell is this an inspirational story? This person needs better goals. And a therapist.

They’re toxic in an even greater way because as a disabled person, I didn’t realise till I was reading this how much I had internalised that. I genuinely have had feelings of fear and shame about using a chair or a walker if I get married. And why? Because I’m constantly seeing “heartwarming” stories about disabled people who shed their mobility aids for that moment. Why the hell am I afraid of using them to get married? Anyone who marries me or attends the wedding will know I need them and love me regardless.

Bless this post for making me realise I’d internalised that shit.

These types of stories teach people, both abled and disabled, that using mobility aids, especially wheelchairs, is inferior.

here are some beautiful brides in chairs with dresses they ROCK. I know a lot of disabled ppl with internalized ableism think they “won’t look good” if they use their chair, but here’s some literally gorgeous gals for ur consideration

(that last ones cute as fuck and i teared up at it)

Who needs a bouquet when you can be a bouquet?

I made my addition to this post in June 2019. Its now January 2020 and I no longer feel guilty about the idea of going down the aisle one day with mobility aids.

God bless the disabled community, y'all saved me from some internalised bullshit

This post floated by a few months ago, and I remember something to effect of there’s a difference between recovery and refusal. That is, like, I have a friend that suffered an incomplete spinal cord injury. He can walk again now, and I don’t think I’ve seen him use his chair in a few years. When he walked at his graduation, it was to show off his recovery. That he wasn’t quite ready to go through a full day upright, but he could walk across a stage, unassisted, and soon he would be able to do that every day. There’s also a difference in someone like me choosing to not use a mobility aid. My mobility is intensely fluid, especially seasonally. So, I would plan a summer wedding. And while I love my cane it can also be the biggest pain in my ass, so I’d want to just go unassisted. But that’s normal for me, at least right now. I can walk without an aid during about half of the year. It’s reasonable to assume I can make it through one day without it. All of that is different than someone that is fully and permanently paralyzed, that will never walk again, dragging themselves along because they feel that’s somehow better. Overall though, my biggest takeaway is fuck the media. Because disabled people should be able to make whatever decision they want without the media turning it into this grand inspirational story.

THIS.

Couldn’t pass up the opportunity to add my disabled joy to this post. Look at this love!

Taking the opportunity to add these photos of Jessica Kellgren-Fozard and her wife Claudia, from this twitter post. Jessica also has a youtube channel that’s primarily about disability and chronic illness and LGBT stuff (it’s amazing!)
