These dudes are fucking legit.  They don’t just show up one day in court, either, they actually make friends with the kids and let them know they have a support system and that there are people in the world who care about them and will always have their back.  And less important, but also cool, is that the few times a couple of them have come into my cafe, they’ve been super friendly and polite and when I told one of the guys that I noticed his Bikers Against Child Abuse patch and wanted him to know how awesome I thought he was because of it, he got kind of shy and blushed and said, “The kids are the awesome ones, we just let them know they’re allowed to be brave.”

The source is long, but so, so good. These men and women are available in 36 states, 24 hours a day to stand guard at home, in court, at school, even if the child has a nightmare. Many of them are survivors of childhood abuse as well, and know what it’s like to feel scared and alone.

Actual tears.. hnngh

Show me more of people like this, world. I give up on humans too easily.

where do i sign up for this,i want to be in this gang

This is fucking amazing. It may be out of character for me to say this but rock on

Bikers Against Child Abuse was founded in 1995 by a Native American child psychologist whose ride name is Chief, when he came across a young boy who had been subjected to extreme abuse and was too afraid to leave his house. He called the boy to reach out to him, but the only thing that seemed to interest the child was Chief’s bike. Soon, some 20 bikers went to the boy’s neighborhood and were able to draw him out of his house for the first time in weeks.

Chief’s thesis was that a child who has been abused by an adult can benefit psychologically from the presence of even more intimidating adults that they know are on their side. “When we tell a child they don’t have to be afraid, they believe us,” Arizona biker Pipes told azcentral.com. “When we tell them we will be there for them, they believe us.” ( Article)

More about BACA, from their site

My parents are a part of this organization and they are metal af

They go on runs to protect the child if they feel even the slightest threatened no matter where. If the child needs them to go on vacation with them, they do. Bikers come from across the nation to watch over and take shifts for these kids. And the best part is once you’re adopted into this family as a BACA kid, you’re always one. Even when you’re 40 and the perp gets released from jail, they’ll come meet with you and find your best options for avoiding the person and maintaining the life you’ve built for yourself. Once a BACA child, always a BACA child. In Florida, there’s 100% rate for identifying the perp based on the child’s testimony. Why? Because BACA stands with the child and supports the child so they feel comfortable enough to point out their attacker.

What’s better than a badass biker gang being on your side???

NATIVE AMERICAN CHILD PSYCHOLOGIST WHO IS A BIKER AND NAMED HIMSELF CHIEF HELL YES I’M HERE FOR THAT AND BIKERS BEING BAD ASS TO PROTECT KIDS. HELL YEAH.

it’s back! I will always reblog BACA

Damn good people.

I know they wouldn’t consider themselves such, but these people are freaking heroes and the world is a better place because of them. 

Hey folks, it talks about this in the article but its not mentioned in this post, BACA is a 501 © (3) charity that depends in part on donations to help pay for stuff like gas for their bikes. If you want to help, consider donating. 

@copperbadge You like posting about heroes, Sam. Seems like this would be up your alley.

I love these folks! I’ve reblogged them before but it’s wonderful to see the donation information has been added. 

Always reblog. Keep doing what you’re doing y'all.

Guys? This post changed my life. I saw this post. Forever ago. And thought it was only in america… and wished desperately that they could help me. But then I saw it again, during a bad episode, and checked their site. They aren’t just in the USA

They’re in Canada as well and probably other countries. I met and talked with a native guy who runs the place near me. His name is Shaman. I got in, and I’m considered a BACA child now. Despite being 17, turning 18 when I talked to them. They spent time with me when my abuser was over, they gave me therapy resources. They give you something called a ‘level 1′ where they go to your house with as many bikers as they can, i shit you not a solid 20-40 bikers came from even out of province, and met me. I got to choose my biker name and I got a vest with patches on it and my name on it. They all hugged a Teddybear before giving it to me, and told me if I ever felt the BACA bear was running out of love, to give them a call and they’d refill it for me, and then I got a ride on one of their bikes. Just a day or so ago I went to an annual party with them and they we ate food one of them cooked and had a lot of laughs. 

I’ve never felt as loved as I did being a part of the BACA family. They also gave me dog tags with the names, and phone numbers of my 2 workers.  So I can call them whenever I feel scared. 

BACA is an absolutely wonderful group that will do everything in it’s power to help any child whos been abused. 

And it doesn’t end when you’re 18 either. As long as you get in contact/get your level 1 before you’re 18? you’re ALWAYS a BACA kid. I’m 18 now and they still invite me to parties, ask me if I’m okay, and are there for me. They’re still trying to find me resources for therapy. 

BACA has changed my fucking life. 

I hope you all can read this, and reblog it knowing from someone who fucking been with them, that they are absolutely amazing. 

If I ever don’t reblog this, it’s because I am physically being restrained against my will.

Supporting your local hero’s.

💞🖤💞 Carpe Diem 💞🖤💞

Had seen this before, but never realised that this is on an international level - there’s even a contact address close to where I live (in Germany), very cool (though hoping the only use I’ll ever have to make of it is for donations) ❤

"Don't mind her snort" Okay but her snort is IMPORTANT

i had to add these and i’m sure there are more

Oh… so THAT’S why I love Hockey.

Bonus: That weird phenomenon when dudes will grab a buddy to keep people on the other team from interfering with fights on the ice.

god these guys are so gay

Dude, hockey is so fucking gay.

the stanley cup playoffs said happy pride month

gotta add these because what is more beautiful than nathan mackinnon winning the stanley cup to defend his longtime crush sidney crosby’s honor and THEN attributing the win to staying in a hotel room that contains sid’s jersey number. who wrote this fic? (also: nate eats ass and sid is The ass of the nhl so…)

ok but sidney crosby looks like this:

and has an ass like this:

so i understand the thirst

Are we not even talking about the actualfacts kissing going on or…?

The rituals are intricate 😌

Memorial Cup 2013: Halifax Mooseheads’ Stefan Fournier kissed Jonathan Drouin after a goal, defies people to chirp him about it

more:

Fun Fact: The Halifax Mooseheads went on to win the Memorial Cup

(other notable players on the team included Nathan Mackinnon, Mackenzie Weegar, and Martin Frk)

And here’s Travis Green & Ziggy Palffy:

oh man @zambonding that article is such a gem this is the kind of sports journalism we need

btw can i also add that straight out of a romcom/bollywood movie moment where two hockey player’s laces get tangled up mid-game

While we do love men’s ice hockey, let’s give it up for the ladies with actual, adorable rivalry romances.

the nhl could never get on the level of women’s hockey. could hockey men do THIS:

(and now they have another daughter together LOOK AT THIS BLISS)

also if we thirstin’ about sidney crosby on this giant post, i have also got to point out the Power carly jackson holds…

in honor of the nhl’s “whole lot of fucking” november, here’s more tenderhorniness

and this extremely wholesome fight turned prom dance:

If your partner feels threatened when you want alone time: RUN.

welp

thats creepy

This applies to you boys too- if your girlfriend won’t let you hang out with your friends, RUN

No matter what gender you or your partner are, if they refuse to let you spend any time with your friends that’s a big sign of danger.

GUESS WHAT MY EX BELIEVED 🙃🙃🙃

Last time I reblogged this I lost ten followers, someone I liked blocked me, and I got hate mail in my inbox for several days.  Let’s see what happens this time.

Abuse begins with insecurity

My ex wouldn’t even accept a ride from my friend who offered to drive us home in the pouring Orlando rain and instead forced us to walk 12 minutes in the rain, soaking my only pair of work shoes and giving me a cold. FUCKING RED FLAGS

Me: doot doot doot doot *reblogs this* doot doot doot *reblogs this again* doot-

If you gotta worry about a girl’s night then either your S/O isn’t trustworthy and you know it, or you’re paranoid and controlling, and in either case then you shouldn’t be in that relationship. 

Also, this still applies with platonic friends, too. Possessiveness and emotional abuse don’t have to include a romantic or sexual component.

That took a turn.

So, a funny thing happened on trigun twitter

(amazon link where its 50% off as of May 8th: https://www.amazon.com/This-How-You-Lose-Time/dp/1534430997/)

Update, “this is how you lose the time war” is now #21 on Amazon’s bestseller’s list

(semi-related note but I too have now ordered the book)

another update: Amal El -Mohtar wrote a small article on her blog (https://amalelmohtar.com/i-tried-to-title-this-post-for-twenty-minutes-and-failed/), one which contains the words “[…] and the upshot of it all is that corporate marketing people at Simon & Schuster now know the name Bigolas Dickolas.”

Further update!

Time war has reached #7 on the amazon bestseller’s list and is still discounted!

In addition:

I've seen this before, but it's been years and it just came across my Twitter in its dying days. The words are from a favorite author of mine, Maggie Stiefvater, and they are the words I most need to hear when it comes to dealing with chronic pain and illness. I didn't need this the first time I saw it, six years ago. I need it now. Maybe you do, too.

ADS THAT SUDDENLY TAKE UP THE WHOLE PAGE

ADS THAT SUDDENLY TAKE UP THE WHOLE PAGE AND PLAY MUSIC

What about ads that play music, but you can’t find them anywhere on the page?

Still hearing the ads music after you close the page

having adblock

Sites that forbid adblock

When ads pop up even when Adblock is enabled

When porn ads pop up unexpectedly

this post gets better everytime i see it

When you try get rid of the add really fast but accidentally click on the link that sends you to seventy different pages before you can go back.

THIS POST KEEPS GETTING BETTER

When the ad shows something you’re actually interested in.

When you have to wait to skip the ad

When the ad is about abused/animals needing homes

@extraordinaquari

I dub this post “The Legend of Advertisements”! 

when you get rid of the add but it keeps coming back.

It got better.

Making it my goal to reblog this once every day lol

When you get so many ads at once that the site you’re on crashes and you have to reload the page.

When an ad plays awesome music

reblogging again because its back and better than ever.

When the add says you can skip it but it doesn’t let you skip

When the ad shows you something you’re interested in, you click it, and it opens two tabs with one being a clear phishing scam and the other for some fuck app

When the same ad has played so many times that you can recite it word for word in time

When the ad is fiNALLY OVER

One of the best post ever.

This just gets so much better every time it shows up on my dash.

This just gets so much

better every time it

shows up on my dash.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

is anyone else unable to focus or do anything or feel good if u hear even a fucking footstep from another fucking human being?  

Yeah, that sounds like overstimulation. If you can, try pausing whatever you're doing and go to a quiet, dark, and secluded area.

You could even get a blanket or something and wrap yourself up nice and tight! (Warning this might overstimulate you further, but it usually helps me so i thought id include it)

Its completly normal to feel this way every now and then, and itll pass after some much deserved alone time.

Hope you find a nice place to curl up!!

OMG 

Things that I knew about: that the mass incarceration of people in the USA , particularly black men, has direct ties to/is an extension of slavery. Things I did not know: this specific shit about Louisiana HOLY FUCK this is evil.

The way Toby just switches to a perfect american english pronunciation when saying the ‘Project’ in “Touhou Projech” before switching back to Japanese will never not be funny to me
