One of the worst parts of current internet culture is that it makes good old fashioned complaining so difficult. I don’t wanna cancel anyone or bully anyone, I’m not trying to form a hate mob I’m not calling anyone out, i just wanna bitch about something. Because complaining is fun, good for you, even. Is that too much to ask? Where is the room for shooting the shit?
Hey y'all, I'd appreciate anyone from the UK signing this petition to allow trans/nonbinary kids to stay closeted from their parents if they're out at school. It's obviously very important that children be able to keep potentially dangerous information about their identity away from their parents, and explore it safely in a school environment.
If it reaches 10k votes the government must respond, and 100k means they need to debate it, but any votes are good for raising awareness and profile.
If you're not from the UK please share this so others see it

GUYS I DESIGNED A PLANET IT’S SO FRIGGIN COOL
Reblogging for the oc&character creation stuff!
Dude this is a gold mine.
We’re in the middle of a global crisis where nearly the entirely population is confined. Damn right we’re going to create.
Good stuff!
THIS RIGHT HERE
You guys are dangerously close to realizing specifically what kinds of people they keep from voting and why.
I want to drill this into everybody’s head:
- The United States of America has the highest prison population in the world
- Black Americans and Latin people make up the majority of this population (many of whom are non-violent offenders)
- Federal Prisons in America require that their state keeps their prisons at a maximum occupancy at all times.
- The 13th amendment did not entirely abolish slavery…just one form of it. It remains legal through industrial prison system
Oh and we have privatized prisons which allow companies to actually make money off of keeping people incarcerated
Here’s what’s really perverse: prisoners, who cannot vote, still get counted in the U.S. Census. The more prisoners a county has, the more representation it gets, even though the prisoners cannot vote. See how that works? The more black and brown people they lock up, the more government resources and political representation they get. Even though those prisoners have no say and cannot vote.
If county-A has a population of 50 voters but no prisons, and county-B has a population of 50 voters and 50 prisoners, the county with the prisoners gets more government funding and more political represention. This is sometimes called “prison gerrymandering” and it is used in redistrictring.
Not so fun Fact: Southern states that reliably vote for Republicans also have the highest prison population in the United States. (source). So mass incarceration is a double whammy. It’s both a form of voter suppression and a tool to strengthen white people’s political power.
People on this site “I would love my partner if they were a worm” yeah ? Who’d you vote for ?
absolutely disgusting, the flagrant lack of support for the bug race worm. completely left behind. nobody even talking about it or trying to help them. Aand you all have the gall to ask who would still love YOU if u turned into a worm? SAD.
devastating that you can live somewhere and then move away and someone else moves in and they live there and you don’t live there anymore but you lived there once

Everyone look at my turtle lamp and weep for how precious he is
[Image description: Three photos of a turtle lamp with a stained glass shell. The light within the turtles shell is off in the first photo and on in the second and third photos, giving off an orange-yellow light from the semi-transparent glass shell. End description.]
Galámpagos
I forgot how infuriating the ending of chain of iron is. Like girl why didn’t you stay and ask questions? Especially since James told you he wanted to explain himself. Hey Matthew maybe don’t take the girl your parabatai is married to because that looks sus as hell. What do you mean it can’t ever be possible????
idk if this is a trope or whatever but i love it so much when fictional characters massively downplay the severity of their injuries but in more of a comedic way than a tragic one. like some guy gets impaled and they just glance down at the shard of metal sticking out of them and say some dumb bullshit like "oh man. that's gonna need some ice." and then pass out while all their friends yell at them for being an unfunny idiot with terrible priorities.

My dearest love(AO3) has gone of to war(server maintenance), and I fear I shall never see them again(it’ll be up again in a few hours)

I love this scientist man who has probably been, on many occasions, a victim of physics
Reblog if you have been a victim of physics
If you or a loved one has been a victim of physics, you may be entitled to financial compensation.
i could escape the narrative actually. rip to the rest of you but i'm gonna get out of here.
girl help i've become the audience, no longer confined by the narrative yet equally powerless to change it
[enters IMGflip] [emerges 3 hours later with Goncharov (1973) and The Goncharov Trilogy book series memes] Please appreciate what I do for you with nothing more than a vague recollection from reading the books as a teenager and only recently finding out there was an entire movie made from them, apparently.
