Hello! I am simple tumblr merchant. Can I interest you in some of my wares?
-1 horse plinko game board, complete with fire sound effects
-10 gallons vanilla extract, on clearance! There was a huge market for it a while back so I bought a ton. No one’s bought any since. :(
-1 GENUINE ball from the dashcon ball pit. Own a piece of history! How’d I get it? People really don’t know the value of things- some guy gave it to me for free! When I asked what they wanted for it, they just got this haunted look in their eye and said not to worry about it.
You seem like a good sort, so I’ll show you one of my secret backstock-a vintage Goncharov poster! Oh, you haven’t seen it? It’s an incredible movie, really changed my perspective on the human experience. You’ll love it! So much that you’ll wish you bought this poster when you had the chance! Only 70 credits!
if i was the joker id just get a restraining order on batman and superman whataere they gonna do? break the law? then theyre no better than me, a cold blooded murderer. and this would 100% work, because superheroe movies have the shittiest takes on ethics since fucking kant
I wanted to point out that Nurse Hadley, the woman in this video, is a hospice nurse. This is what people say to and about patients who don’t have long left to live. The fear of addiction and dependence on pain medication is so strong that people deny their literally dying family members proper pain management. You’re never going to please the “but what about addiction” people, ignore them and take the meds you need to function.
anyway um. shoutout to disabled people who move their bodies in ways that are considered “wrong” or “abnormal” regardless of the cause or how it’s classified. and this isn’t limited to just ambulation.
paralysis. dystonia. gait abnormalities. people with muscle weakness and/or atrophy. people with brain damage. rotational differences. clubfoot. knocked knees. other limb and bodily differences. functional deformities that affect movement. tissue contracture. muscular dystrophies. spasticity. impaired proprioception, balance, and/or coordination. chronic pain. spinal disorders. dyspraxia/DCD. apraxia. ataxia. dystaxia. tourette’s syndrome and other tic disorders. conversion symptoms. tremors. neurodegenerative disease. degenerative bone diseases. joint instability. myoclonus. parkinsonism. tardive dyskenisia. various other neurological problems.
…and the list goes on.
personally i feel a bit surreal when my body not doesn’t always move in the ways i want it to because that straightforward connection that’s there for abled people has been disrupted in a myriad of ways. but no one is gross, ugly, or scary for being unable to move their body in ways that society considers “normal” and “healthy.” no one deserves to be gawked/stared at or treated like they’re subhuman because of the way their body moves.
I don’t understand why some Christians promote abstinence as a form of birth control when it didn’t even work for Mary.
I really shouldn’t be laughing right now.
story time: so i grew up in an abstinence-first education state where everything ended with “abstinence is the only form of contraception that is 100% effective” and my best friend gave a presentation on contraception where the last slide was just a picture of the virgin mary that said “abstinence is 99.99% effective” and she almost got kicked out of class
it’s really disappointing how people’s critique of jkr starts and ends with her transphobia, and they completely ignore her blatant antisemitism, racism, homophobia, slavery apologism, sympathy for the wizard nazis, (the wizard nazi incel) snape’s redemption, the villain of fantastic beasts trying to stop the holocaust, and the new game literally being a rehash of the blood libel myth.
&her ableism, fatphobia, classism, and general naked imperialism (look at things like the “thunderbird” in fantastic beasts, or anything and everything she’s ever said or done about Scotland, for example)
This ass-hat has actually lobbied against things like “letting disabled people survive” and “the colonised nation I live in taking steps toward independence.”
Oh, and you already mentioned it, but - antisemitism, again. Cannot stress the antisemitism enough because, holy fuck she’s so antisemitic!
as a trans person this is is so important to look at and spread bc us trans people are not the only people affected, and we need to band together to spread awareness about the full extent of JKRs bigotry.
Yeah…it’s really confusing how people focus exclusively on her being transphobic when she very much did recently write a book that openly and obviously makes fun of criticisms of ableism, where a person with fibromyalgia and several others of the most hard-to-diagnose painful chronic conditions (somewhat implied to be faking) murders a poor innocent writer who is being accused of ableism. 🤨
When I was 14 I had a make a wish and a very low chance of living out the year. I asked to meet her and her response was “I don’t meet *those* children” and I hear now she has a do not contact policy from make a wish. I’m glad she’s being cancelled, at this point it’s whatever it takes for me. Hopefully all of her nastiness is revealed and she can answer for all of it.
But ye reblogging for the nice list of reasons for not giving her money.

Massachusetts is an SCP now and honestly they’re right
god i fucking love the scp foundation
oh and for those not in the know about SCP object classing:
Thaumiel is not a typical object class. Most SCPs are either Safe, Euclid, or Keter. A common misconception is that these describe how dangerous an object is, but that’s not it; object class is based on how easy they are to contain.
For example, a Safe object might be capable of causing apocalyptic damage, but if you put it in a box, it will stay in the box. (Though there are a lot of Safe SCPs that are genuinely harmless as well)
Put a Euclid object in a box and it will usually sit in the box and not make active attempts to escape, but might escape incidentally, due to inherent unpredictability (for example, many sapient SCPs are classified as Euclid even if they’re normally friendly, just because they have free will) or just because the Foundation doesn’t understand it well enough to give it a true safe containment.
Keter objects will actively try to leave the box, and are typically malicious about it as well. Alternatively, they require so much time and energy to contain that it’s nigh-impossible to effectively contain, or are extremely poorly understood.
Thaumiel is special, because.. it is the box. It’s the object class that the Foundation uses for SCPs that are used to contain other SCPs.
That being said: What the FUCK is Massachusetts protecting us from?

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
Y’all Netflix is trying to kick us off for using A DIFFERENT WIFI NETWORK from the “household”.
We are not more than thirty feet from the other tv.
We have FOUR wifi networks because out in the goddamn woods, all of them SUCK.
This is fucking ridiculous.
GUESS WHAT IT GOT WORSE!!
The verification process to prove we’re in the same goddamn house is a fucking SEIZURE TRIGGER
As in partner is ACTIVELY NOW HAVING AN EPISODE
It amped the tv’s brightness and flashed series of QR codes across the screen like a goddamn strobe light! Which you had to stand in front of and record for 15 seconds!
Website contact refused to provide a channel to make a complaint, insisted that we could only possibly be a household if we were all on the same wifi, and that if they couldn’t email or call the account owner all they could do was help us set up a new fucking account.
Partner isn’t in serious danger but jesus fuck if you’re a seizure risk do not go anywhere near it
To YOU it’s bad writing. To ME it’s a very nuanced piece of work that explores subtle intricacies without outright saying it. And also it’s bad writing
I have this picture of sasuke on my phone that chase and I call “safe for work sasuke” and it’s because it’s the tallest picture in my camera roll so whenever he sends me any nsfw stuff when I’m in public I just send sfw sasuke and he takes up the whole screen

Safe for Work Sasuke and Loadbearing Silver the Hedgehog are our protectors
Purple goes on a little trip :3 (i hate drawing water)
[Image ID: A digital drawing of a purple stick-figure sitting in a row boat. They are looking down at a map in their hands. The surrounding ocean is highlighted with pink and purple. In the distance, there is a small trail of islands coming toward the camera. The sky is a blue to pink gradient sunset. End Image ID.]
If I was a mouse and was given a cookie I would totally want a glass of milk as well. I’ve always thought this. That is what’s called a relatable protagonist.
[Image ID: Text reading: Paw Patrol is Giorgio Agamben’s nightmare, a country in which a permanent state of emergency exists, under which governments have limitless power to rule unilaterally. There is no society or even commerce in Paw Patrol, only the relentless unthinking force of the police state, ostensibly responding to a never-ending crisis. It is the most influential work of fascist art since Ezra Pound. /End ID]
