the pokemon requests. many beasts.

Fave new twitter thread

the whole “i used to be a teen who hated authority only to grow up to become the authority that hates teens” is a bad bad thing that practically every other generation has fallen into and we all need to make an extremely conscious effort not to repeat the fucking pattern

Studies have shown that the shift starts to happen around age 30. If you’re close to that, make a conscious effort to be open to and accepting of younger people. I’m 31 and paying close attention to how I react to young people and new trends and shit and trying to keep myself from developing those thought patterns.

noted

It is imperative you befriend people other than those of your own generation. It’s harder to lump people together if you know some of them. This is why you should also pursue friendships beyond your race, ability, religion (or lack thereof), and class. Humanity relies on relating to each other.

You guys just have to trust me on this one and click here okay?

OH MY GOD I NEEDED THIS

For the chronically anxious and/or otherwise mentally ill:

This is not a screamer, jumpscare, or any other kind of horror link I don’t know the name of. It will not cause you to question reality and as far as I’m aware, there is no reason it should cause any kind of hallucinations or psychosis. I don’t want to spoil the surprise because it’s DELIGHTFUL but I am happy to tell you it’s very sweet and gentle and also great lowkey stress relief. This is a cinnamon roll link appropriate for all ages (yes, all the way down to babies) and you will enjoy it if you click it. ❤️

This makes me so happy

I once went on a boat trip where one of these guys ended up flying INTO the boat. Smacked someone right in the side of the head too.

They smell really bad, FYI.

So, to get it back in the water...on the fly, with no internet let alone time to Google the safest possible technique if such a thing even existed, we figured the best way to make the landing feel most natural to it would be to, in fact, throw it like a paper airplane.

It was every bit as satisfying and goofy as it looks like it would be.

"Isn't it weird that [thing humans commonly eat] is poisonous to literally every domesticated animal" I mean, there's a pretty good chance that [thing humans commonly eat] is at least mildly poisonous to humans, too. One of our quirks as a species is that we think our food is bland if it doesn't have enough poison in it.

Humans have a really weird mix of mundane superpowers.

We're not fast and don't have a lot of natural weaponry but we're bizarrely tolerant to a broad range of toxins to the point that one toxin is considered a morning necessity for some to perform at work. Gotta love us.

Every month is autism month for me!

I've personally always seen the infinity symbol in rainbow 🌈 or in red ♥️ but gold works too!!!

Just.... Don't use blue or puzzle pieces. And DEFINITELY don't use blue LIGHTS, or every autistic person or just person with sensory issues in the vicinity has a chance of having like. Serious problems. Some of us have issues with lights you guys, and the irony of giving us sensory issues with the blue light campaign is....yeah

The rainbow infinity usually represents neurodiversity overall! :)

And yep the blue light thing is definitely ironic 🙃 someone didn't think that through

Why hasn’t this been done before?

You know why.

Cause racial health disparities…

I hope this gets published

"have you learned how to drive yet" i have the spirit of friendship in my heart. the joy of lifes little things in my soul. the whimsy of magic. the beautiful enjoyment of nature. the answer is no though

Day 25 Favorite Monster Girl. Nagas. Who knew they’d be so fun to draw? Especially with their colors. Also I really like doing the henna designs.

This is so cute and the pose is so deeply relatable that I immediately said, out loud, “They’re NOT FOR YOU, they’re for the PTA meeting!” and my husband nodded sagely and said “That stands for People That are Anacondas” and now I can’t stop laughing.

I can’t believe it’s been 10 years and people are still reblogging this and adding nice little comments and things to it c: That makes me really happy.

This is the conservative/christian sign for abortion. This is the sign used by those who are pro-life. This is a sign that is sexist, that demonizes abortion, that is anti women’s autonomy and female rights. It declares fetuses as full babies someone is throwing away. This sign can be genuinely triggering to deaf women who have had abortions.

If you want to go full-neutral, you can finger sign abortion. 

Or, the scientific version (pregnancy-remove) that is considered the leftist way –

Do not spread the pro-life version. Conservatives specifically try to push their ways to sign things as the default. You are unintentionally helping overpower deaf women’s rights advocates.

New superhero: Crime Man.

He stops crimes exclusively by comitting crimes. He out-crimes the criminals.

The Punisher does this and the crime is murder

The Punisher doesn’t stop crime, he punishes criminals. Big difference. Crime Man is more proactive than that.

So what you really mean is like. A totalitarian government that profiles people and arrests them before they commit crimes (which is a crime)

No, it’s more like stopping a credit fraud from happening by comitting arson.

*A mugger threatening me with a knife* Give me your money! *Crimeman appearing from the darkness with a bigger knife* NO CRIMINAL! You give me YOUR money!

I love the efforts to get deeply analytical and political but op just shuts them down with no crime man does CRIME

BUT BETTER

He finds out someone’s planning to rob the bank so he robs it first so there isn’t any money left when they get there. 

Armed robbery? Hold their family hostage until they deliver their guns in an unmarked bag behind a gas station

I drew fanart

did I get it right?

Now that’s a hero if I’ve ever seen one.

Check out this amazing Crime Man comic by @micaxiii

You do the crime, you get the crime.

The plan is working!

HE LOOKS LIKE THE QUOTE ‘Be Gay Do Crimes”

He is gay, and does crimes.

Crime Man strikes again

I like Crime man

And Crime Man likes you too

¿ what are his Powers?

Resourcefulness, audacity, and a sense of humor.

By the way, Crime Man lives in Florida.

op i respect you but absolutely no part of this post required clarification that crime man lives in florida. that was already understood.

This is one of those posts that you stop what you’re doing and read it to your partner(s)

Read the story on AO3 to them as well while you’re at it.

He’s the hero we didn’t need and didn’t know we wanted.

I need that...

Sorry, I could never be a capitalist, I suffer from “wanting humans to have their basic needs met” disorder, where I care about people who aren’t me.

Someone once asked me if, assuming we got universal healthcare, I would be okay with the rise in “healthcare tourism” where people who are sick come to our country to get their medical bills taken care of and life-saving medical treatment cheaper than in their home countries. I was just like, yeah thats fine, I’d actually prefer it if 0 people died from preventable causes kept behind a paywall for no reason.

“even the addicts?” yeah dude did i fucking stutter

i’m pretty sure that if everyone had housing, healthcare, and food security no-questions-asked, there’d be a hell of a lot fewer addicts out there. probably a lot less property crime too.

way less shoplifting too

12 Palestinians have drowned in the sea in north Gaza while trying to get to airdropped aid.

Do you understand how desperate someone has to be for them to run into the water to get a damaged box of god knows what?

What could have been going through their minds when they jumped into the water? Their children's faces when they come home with a few cans of food? The promise of the family eating together?

I honestly can't even fathom what other levels of cruelty Palestinians are supposed to endure before anything tangible is done about this genocide, of which this engineered mass starvation is only one part.

A little over 8 years ago, a friend of mine, L (name redacted) was hit by her scum-bucket boyfriend.  It wasn’t the first time he’d hit her, but it was the first time he’d hit her in front of her best friend J. (name also redacted.)  J objected to the abuse, you might say she objected violently to the abuse (which is one of the reasons why the names are redacted even if the statute of limitations should be up.)

After scum-bucket had fled the scene, J decided that L needed some more support, so she called every women she knew.  Everyone available showed up to L’s apartment with weapons and booze.  Imagine if you will, around 30 women stuffed into a one-bedroom apartment comforting L and passing around the drinks when someone spots scum-bucket’s car pulling into the parking lot.

It was decided that a few ladies would stay in the apartment with L while the rest of us when downstairs to confront scum-bucket and prevent him from entering the building.

Now all of us ladies at that time happened to belong to the same theater group that specialized in swashbuckling plays, lots of sword fights and the like.  So, when I say we brought weapons, I mean we brought things like broadswords, battleaxes, crossbows, rapiers and like.

So, scum-bucket gets out of his car and starts walking across the parking lot only to spot 25 or so heavily armed women marching out of the building, raising their weapons and charging at him while screeching like furies.

Scum-bucket had a pretty good sense of self-preservation and the sight of us was inspiring.  He ran back to the car and peeled out of the parking light like the hounds of hell were at his heels and I suppose we were.

Anyhow, L never heard from him again.  Eventually, she and J started dating and they’ll have been married for 5 years next September.

It is called karma.

Okay seriously. Reblog if you're OLDER than 11.
