the only thing funnier than chris fleming’s comedy itself is people on social media politely referring to him with gender neutral language because they’re not sure what to make of his whole thing
when i saw him he made a joke that started with, “so my girlfriend and i…” and there were ripples of confusion throughout the crowd and he said, “yeah, that’s always a big m. night shyamalan twist”
It’s frog sweater weather!

Hmm……
among (my cat) freddie mercury’s many Clever Little Things is that if you’re holding him and he wants to put down, then every time, without fail, he will lick you on the hand or arm a couple of times. if after a few seconds you haven’t put him down, then he’ll start to squirm or whatever.
it’s very cute and really handy when none of our other cats have any such compunctions about asking to be put down by whacking you in the face without preamble, sometimes with claws out, but the thing is: I never taught him to do this. I realized that he was doing it after he did it several times of his own accord; a couple of little licks on the hand, and then he’d start squirming out of my hold unless I put him down.
I was thinking about this recently, wondering what made him start doing that, and I had a sudden realization. whenever I’m holding him and I decide to put him down. I always kiss him on the top of his head first. I always have.
behold, The Man Himself, king of kisses, light of my life, smart enough to open the cat food container but either polite or lazy enough that he never steals from it, just opens it and then sits there and yells at you

Please no this is how French happened
pres. trump sent federal troops into portland to squash the protests and they shot someone in the head with an impact round last night and shattered his skull. his blood is still on the sidewalk outside the federal courthouse. they are not like local cops and they are NOT fucking around. they carry ARs with live ammo and they are merciless. i am very sincerely scared that federal forces are going to instigate a kent state type situation by killing protesters as an example sometime between now & november and i am very scared it’s going to be here
Video of the protester who was shot being carried away by medics while bleeding everywhere (obvious TW). He is alive but was in critical condition when he arrived at the hospital & needed extensive facial + skull reconstruction surgery. At the time they shot him he was standing on the sidewalk with both hands holding a boombox above his head Video of a federal officer kneeling on someone while he has a seizure; they did not allow medics to help him. There is word that this person may have died but afaik that is still unconfirmed Video of federal officers chasing & assaulting medics tending to an unresponsive protester Video of 15 feds forcibly arresting a disabled trans person and taking away their service dog for the crime of writing on the federally owned sidewalk in washable sidewalk chalk
Full live tweet thread of the night (7/11/20) with a lot more video footage, especially of the absolutely ludicrous amounts of tear gas they used
sorry for the long post—i am not sure how much national coverage this is getting and i really want people to know what’s going on here. they are behaving like an occupying army & treating citizens like enemy combatants
Well, one teacher is pissed.
Not pissed...
The teacher has provided a very thoughtful analysis of issues that must be addressed BEFORE we can SAFELY reopen PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
...proactive.
I’m just going to jump on here because this is my families reality at the moment. My mother is a high school theatre teacher and has been teaching for the last ~30 years.
One of the big things my state has been championing for going back to school is using larger rooms such as theaters, gyms, etc.
My mother’s Theater seats 120 people, which is on the bigger side for a public high school. Here is what that 6 feet apart looks like in the seats.Each white X marks a seat that cannot be used. The blue post-its are where they can.
16 seats. Out of 120. We measured the stage as well, to try and find room for kids to sit on-stage. 15 seats. This is one of the biggest rooms on the campus, not including the gym. 30 students, not including the teacher.
Average class size in her school before the pandemic started is 35 at the lowest. I’ve been in high school classes that range closer to 45.
There is an extremely confusing schedule still being hammered out that would involve class sizes being shrunk and finagled around, the semesters changed to quarters etc. etc. The expectation is that the teachers will sanitize their classrooms between the classes. Which is a pain, but teachers will absolutely do that. Good teachers go way above and beyond for their students.
And then the district told them that they have to provide their own PPE.
I live in a big city. You still can’t find good masks around here, gloves are in short supply. Hand sanitizer has finally been swooping back in, lysol wipes or anything like that are not. As of 7/8/2020, their union is still fighting tooth and nail for PPE to be provided. All while our Covid-19 cases continue to explode up.
I’m in California. She’s in a really good district, with decent funding and a great facility. We’re literally in one of the best-case scenario areas. I can’t imagine how the fuck these negotiations are going elsewhere, places with less funding in states run by fucking idiots.
Physically coming back to school is not feasible. There is no way without a lot of funding, that is not going to just magically appear, to keep students and teachers safe. Trying to do so with what we know now, with the preventative measures we have, with the funding the district has available, is going to end up killing people.
My mom was telling me just the other day that on the message board where she and other teachers from her state discuss these issues, one had just blown the whistle on another district’s administration’s plan for online instruction. They planned to offer online IF:
- a parent or childcare professional (like a nanny) could be available throughout the day to supervise the kid and provide assistance
- parents would have to supply the computer and Internet needed
- the kid has to have had good enough grades prior to going online that they aren’t considered a risk for falling behind
The obvious problem with these guidelines is that they favor rich, well-off parents who can afford to cover these conditions. My mother lives in a poor state, so a large swath of kids aren’t going to fall into that category. That’s why the teacher was reporting on it, because it’s unfair and quite possibly illegal.
But on the other hand, I can understand why the school is considering these guidelines. In rural areas where it’s “too expensive” for companies to provide high speed Internet, online instruction has been impossible. Even my mother, the teacher, doesn’t have internet at her house fast enough to stream video, and it has a tight data cap. She would have to go into school anyway just to record her lessons, and then only half the class or so would be able to watch them without going into the public library or somewhere else with public wifi, which is something we’re trying to avoid.
The fact is that systemic issues have brought us to this point. Public schools are underfunded. Teachers are not being paid overtime for the extra work they’re having to put in to change to online instruction (for example, in case they move online my mother’s school made her move to a new software program, and unlike the last one this one doesn’t allow you to import lessons plans so she has to retype them all by hand, not just this year but EVERY year, and that takes hours, which she usually has to spend during her own unpaid time because elementary teachers do not get adequate breaks to do everything they have to during paid school day time). Internet, despite being at this point indispensable to modern life, is not provided to all people in our country because it’s still considered a product and not a utility. And all these problems have collided and they’re coming down on teachers’ heads.
My point here is please be kind to teachers during this time, they’re doing their best and they have little help.
^ OK if this was a teen dystopia novel the reader would roll their eyes at how ridiculous and over the top that was
i'm literally begging you to help us defend our freedom of speech. we have eight days.
please reblog this post, especially if you live outside of the philippines. please help us.
i didn't make the carrd, but it's one of the most useful links right now. #JunkTerrorBillNow needs the most urgency, but there are other issues present too.
i'm begging you all to reblog.
Well, here’s what I’m gonna be thinking about all day!

I saw this chart and I thought it might help people navigate what activities they felt safe to do or not go. (I actually followed up with a guide of why things on this list are listed where they are.)
Libraries should not be a 3. Oh my god, libraries should not be a fucking 3. Please don’t come to the library!!!
People linger for HOURS in libraries! They sneeze and cough on computers! They LICK things! I have cleaned up human feces more times at the library than I did when I worked in a restaurant. Most libraries don’t have adequate custodial staff because of budget cuts. We are not set up to maintain social distancing. Patrons are constantly touching EVERYTHING. Parents let their kids run everywhere and do not supervise them, so they get their fluids on books, counters, furniture...everywhere.
Libraries are not safe in a pandemic. Responsible libraries should still be closed to the public. Please do not go to a library - you are putting yourself and the staff in danger.
Happy Pride Month! 🌈
Edit: an anon said that “Game Face” is actually about Fallon Fox, a transgender woman.
my sister thought bdsm was a myers-briggs personality type and i havent stopped thinking about it since she told me
any mention of black lives matter has disappeared off my dashboard so i thought y'all might want to know that police stormed a peaceful vigil in memory of elijah mcclain, attacking mourners with pepper spray. families were there. children were affected. this movement isnt over just because it’s no longer trendy.
