this is the anti-choice sign for abortion. please do not use it.

it refers to the fetus as a baby being thrown away. this is a triggering and upsetting sign, and it should not be used.

this is the pro-choice + pro-bodily autonomy sign for abortion

[gif sourced from a video by @/glassmenagerie on tiktok. i do not have experience writing image / GIF IDs so if anyone does, please add it and i will edit this post!]

this sign refers to abortion as the removal of pregnancy as a medical procedure.

PLEASE rb this version of this post, as the other one correcting the sign that has been circulating was made by a TERF, and uses trans-exclusionary language intentionally.

Hello, pause for a sec.

Many places are removing masking requirements. And I’m here to ask, if you are young and able-bodied, please keep wearing a mask anyways. We’ve known for two years that masks protect others more than they protect yourself, and that masks work when most people are wearing them. If only at-risk individuals are masking, they’re more at risk.

Protect others. Help disabled people exist safely in public. Wear a mask.

Me when my hair needs washed: Ugh, I really need to redye my hair, these roots are like 3" long! I'm so gross, why do I let this happen?? 😤😤😤

Me when my hair has just been washed: Oh well, it's not that bad. You can hardly see the roots if I comb it this way. I could probably get a few more weeks out of this. ☺️

And to those who say, but second hand books and read them, what about the one who buys a second hand book, reads it, thinks wow how awesome is this i need to find more and starts supporting JK not knowing what an terf asshole she is.

You are still perpetuating the fandom.

It does make me wonder if she was a homophobe, racist, facist etc whether her ‘fans’ would still be like - but you can support the art but not the artist’ She isnt like Lovecraft who everyone knows he was a racist bigot. He is dead, his work is known for it’s time but it’s not affecting current policy, like JK Rowlings work IS.

The UK anti trans bills that came in were also a direct result of HER LOBBYING PARLIMENT.

Japan's Indigenous Ainu community don't want a theme park – they want their rights

The brightly lit signs on the Hokkaido motorway in northern Japan do not inform the driver about the traffic. They are, rather, advertising

An anime manga theme park aimed at getting white weeaboos to come spend money in Japan that displaces and desecrates indigenous Ainu territory...

Y’all blog about Japanese people and culture all day please boost this.

The Long-Term Effects of Spanking

A multiyear study shows spanking kids makes them more aggressive later on

I haven’t pissed people off lately by reminding them that ALL types of physical punishment of kids has been proven beyond ANY reasonable doubt to have only negative long term outcomes.

So let me scream it from the hilltops:

Stop hitting kids. End of sentence.

If you think, “but I was hit and I turned out just fine” let me pre-reply: NO YOU DID NOT. You think hitting a child is ok, how the fuck does that qualify as “fine”?????? From one abuse survivor to another: please start healing yourself.

How can you justify keeping your cats inside all the time if you can acknowledge that they do in fact want to go outside and hunt?

How can you justify not letting your child eat glue if you can acknowledge that they do in fact want to eat glue?

[scxtterboard]

Keeping a cat indoors for their whole life is just sad honestly

[scoutsmoocrew]

Not as sad as what happens when they’re allowed outside bud

Listen: if you cannot be bothered to properly enrich an animal who sleeps eighteen (18) hours a day and takes delight in such simple items as crumpled paper, a piece of string, and a box, you shouldn't have animals whatsoever. Keep your cat inside where it won't die a horrible death at a third of its natural lifespan after decimating the local small wildlife population.
