Merbaby is ready to explore the world.

What is this?! Is it a show? Is it a movie? I must know!!

No just a (chef kiss 💋) tumblr artist. Follow her work plus she has a YouTube channel.

why is it that villains and not protagonists are always the ones breaking gender roles hmmmm 

it’s called queercoding and it’s intentional and basically brainwashes kids into having negative associations with those traits

quizzes are like “who is your favorite celebrity” and my options are 8 people I don’t recognize at all and one who I actively hate

with his flesh abroad, he wakes. on its return, he slumbers again.

the pain of departure pulls him from his dreams, his nightmares, his vast and unspeakable visions of beyond. god bless the back of the beast, for it is all that keeps us from his terrible awareness.

this is post is definitely part of something far darker than we will ever be able to comprehend

Sure would be a shame if this got spread around and he lost his job 💅🏽

Just as an update, he was put on suspension,then he quit, and then claimed that he was fired. The university posted a very public statement denouncing him. From what I read there was a huge push by the students at Weber to kick him the fuck out.

HELLO I am here to point out that the guy who helped sokka, zuko & co escape from the boiling rock mistook their relationship with Suki as a polyamorous one

He addressed BOTH of them and called her their girlfriend and no one corrected him.

I’d like to make an important addition:

WAIT IT GOT BETTER:

Just a couple of platonic friends figuring out their boyfriend is a horrible liar who could blow their cover any second

IN CONCLUSION TO MY THESIS TODAY:

Zuko at the beginning of “The Boiling Rock”

Zuko at the end of “The Boiling Rock”

fuckin superb u funky bisexual

That’s his “I came here single, and I left with a both a boyfriend and a girlfriend face” face.

People need to stop beating around the bush and saying shit like "All cops are bad because they allow the bad cops" There are no good cops because it is in their job description to be evil. That's it. If Jesus Christ himself was a cop and just fulfilled his daily duties he too would be a bad cop by doing that. People need to stop acting like the job itself is somehow a neutral thing.

Abusing people in prison for doing or selling drugs, doing sex work, breaking meaningless laws or stealing objects is wrong. Dispersing homeless camps is wrong. Criminalizing poverty at every turn is wrong. How they're supposed to treat arrestees is wrong. Putting trans people in isolation "for their safety" is wrong. Packing people into jails where you have to lay down on the hard floor like sardines to sleep is wrong. Serving them spoiled food is wrong. Putting them into debt for being in prison and putting a mark on their record that prevents them from getting a job is wrong. There is nothing good about the police and no way to be a part of that and be a "good cop."

omfg why

These curfews are trash, sending a curfew alert ten minutes before it goes into effect is an obvious set up to give cops “just cause” to arrest protesters, FUCK THIS

And also shutting down public transportation right after the alert goes out! I’m talking to you Seattle!

Same in Detroit. And then using buses to transport protestors to jail.

#can someone american explain blease?  the third amendment is “ No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.” basically means soldiers cant just barge into your house and force you to do things (or at least that is what it meant in reference to the american revolution. the brits made citizens house them and feed them and shit) now it means governors can say “we dont want you hear! we dont need the military! leave”(or at least i think) hope that helped!

PSA: DON’T DO THIS SHIT

This is a terrible idea for a few reasons.

I get that the person who made this post had good intentions, and all they wanted to do was find ways to help the protesters fight back against cops, but that doesn’t make this okay. There are probably a bunch of people who have read this post and are planning on pulling this stunt at the next protest they go to. Every single one of those people will at best get beaten within an inch of their lives and thrown in jail, and at worst get beaten to death. To quote @sam_kriss on twitter: “Don’t give advice that will kill people.”

One of my worst uncles is an ex-Marine, ex-police, ex-prison guard, who since his back went out and forced him to retire sits around all day watching Hoarders and trying to terrorise the people around him into giving him “enough respect”. When I was about 14, and he thought he was detecting the signs of a “future protest attendee” in me, he got out the riot shield he still kept in the garage, stood behind it and braced himself, then challenged myself, my two brothers, and two of my cousins to try to shift him even a little bit. All five of us did our best to turn it over, break it, or kick it hard enough (three of us regularly broke boards at our taekwondo classes, which we foolishly thought might help) to budge him even a little bit. None of it worked. We failed to even get a grip on it without him immediately turning the shield into a blunt weapon to shove us off, hard enough for us to be left on our backs in the dirt. The intended lesson was “even in a group, you will never be stronger or better defended than even a very restrained riot cop, so don’t even bother going to protests”.

Of course, there are other factors in why he laid all 5 of us on the floor using only a riot shield, the biggest one (besides being a grown man and all 5 us all being teenagers or preteens) being real combat experience. You get good at fighting by getting into real fights. The cops may be ex-military or involved in prison security. If you do not regularly, seriously, physically fight people, you will not beat someone who has been in a whole bunch of real fights, especially not someone with a riot shield. Especially not with a tactic like “just lift from the bottom”. “Five cool hacks to get good at fighting cops” do not exist. What does exist is plenty of resources for recognising cop tactics, things like “earliest warning signs police are forming a kettle”, that do help you to make the best tactical retreats you can when the time comes. There are further resources - look up the most local ones possible - for supplies to have on hand and contacts to make, to survive being kettled and/or arrested, and resources for helping provide first aid in the field. They are not as sexy and cool as the idea of ending up in a viral video of someone decking a cop, but as a general rule, the less “sexy” the tactic the more likely it is to be something people are saying because it’s actually useful. Real protest advice is not likely to make you look cool! If something seems like it will bring you personal glory in a protest, it’s 99% likely just a stupid idea that will get you and others hurt, and probably being deliberately spread for that reason.

Please know that the cops are trained for people to grab their shield. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riot_shield 

i pray you heal from things no one ever apologized for

100% TRUE

Pro tip: If you copy and paste a link that said “no free articles” into a private/incognito browser, it will let you read the whole thing.

also if u press the “esc” (escape) key on ur laptop before the page fully loads, it won’t load any pop-ups blocking u from reading. if the article has images, then this method sometimes does not u see them. but! the words will be fine :)

If the site is particularly badly designed, you might just be able to delete the overlay itself. Right click > Inspect element and delete the line of HTML (it’ll be highlighted automatically)

hey kids there is a website called outline.com that will let you read from pretty much any news site with a paywall for free

Today I learned

Free Audiobooks and Ebooks on OVERDRIVE.

Free Graphic Novels (DC, Marvel, Image, etc), Music, TV shows, and music on HOOPLA.

Free music that you can KEEP on FREEGAL

You are PAYING for all this with your tax money - USE THEM. Most likely systems will have all 3 or 2 out of 3, so if you aren’t sure call your local library’s reference/information desk and how you can get set-up or started.

Hey, highkey from a library worker: 

Overdrive has a new mobile app called LIBBY I find it easier to use.  It’s the same content as Overdrive just better for mobile.  Overdrive and Libby both let you send items to your kindle as well.  

Can confirm Overdrive is amazing. 

I work in the largest library system in my state (17 branches in total).

I use it not only for ebooks, but movies as well.

Other FREE resources to check with your library for are:

If you don’t have a library card…

GET ONE!

If someone says libraries are a thing of the past…

BOOP THEM IN THE NOSE WITH YOUR KINDLE!

Don’t discount libraries as “quiet” places. 

THEY ARE ALIVE!!!

THEY ARE LOUD!!!

THEY ARE YOUR DOORWAYS TO KNOWLEDGE!!

Plus, Audible is owned by Amazon. Don’t give Bezos any more of your money.

Tell your emergency contacts (safely) and that's it. Folks organizing the protest in your area will give further details on how you can spread the word.

NEVER. REVEAL. YOUR. LOCATION. OR. MOVEMENTS. ONLINE.

The President of the United States is deploying military forces against civilian protesters and is trying to make anyone who is against fascism a terrorist.

You are in a dystopian novel. Act that way.

You can identify a fake redneck by their passionate support of “blue lives matter.” Real rednecks have been in at least one physical fight and/or high-speed chase with police officers and would do it again

“redneck” is a valid culture, not a euphemism for “bigot”

White people: if you want to help long term: get used to being told your opinion is wrong, irrelevant, or unwanted. Tell your friends to get used to it. Work on getting used to it and do this work with other white people. Because white supremacy has all of y’all very used  to being right and being an inherently valued voice and if we’re going to fight white supremacy you’re going to have to be comfortable surrendering that expectation and also white people will need to learn how to handle being rejected or disagreed with. It’s an extension of racism and racial trauma for black people to try and educate or speak up about our issues only to expose ourselves to your white fragility which  makes you defensive– this defensiveness can look like shutting down, silencing us, painting all corrections or disagreements as ‘fighs’ (extending the idea that black people are aggressive) etc.

White resilience is the opposite of white fragility and black people are VERY good at resilience, unfortunately. Listen to us we know how to combat this.
