The other messages were regarding the medium security prison, not this one.

I let Annabelle wear "fancy dresses" and she would splash in puddles and get paint on them in day care

Day care once told me maybe I should put her in "play clothes"

I said "what? Doesn't she play?"

"Well she had gotten paint on her..."

"Well that's what kids do. If her clothes interfere with her playing that's when you let me know, okay? Because nothing is going to interfere with me and the laundry room. And a stain is a stain. That's just it. It's not going to go away. I'm not gonna try scrubbing till my eye balls fall out and I'm not gonna refuse to put her in it because it has paint or mud. Clothing is like an extra layer of skin and sometimes we tattoo and sometimes we scar. It's ok. I promise"

2015 - Here are some gifs of Donald Trump being attacked by a bald eagle named Uncle Sam, literally the least patriotic thing that can happen to an American. [video]

[kedreeva]

I’m reblogging this again because I finally realized why this is so funny to me, as a bird person.

In the first gif, what you’re seeing is a man who has zero idea how to handle a bird. That’s a heavy bird, and he’s got his arm stretched out as far as it will go in an attempt to keep the bird away from his face. What that does is create unstable footing for Uncle Sam. The handler is there trying to hold up Trump’s arm, but the bird has already realized it needs to leave or it will fall. In the first gif the bird is not attacking Trump- it is trying to get away from him so it doesn’t get hurt.

In the second gif, what we see is a bird that remembers what just happened and is blaming Trump for it. Uncle Sam sees Trump reach for its tether, and makes a lunge at Trump’s hand to keep him away. The bird /does not/ want to hang out with Trump because it has learned that Trump has no idea what he is doing.

Uncle Sam is rejecting Trump based on Trump’s proven inability to properly handle Uncle Sam. And that is both hilarious and beautiful.

Good bird.

Always reblog Uncle Sam telling Trump to fuck off

A feel-good gif set

[space-feminist]

i’ve met Uncle Sam multiple times (the man helping trump in the first gif is his owner, and he travels around and gives presentations about birds of prey) and so i always find this super funny when it goes around because:

a) his owner was a bit too eager to tell us about meeting trump, but he also explained another thing that trump did wrong, which is that in the second gif, he approaches Uncle Sam from his blind side. naturally, Uncle Sam was startled and lashed out.

b) trump called him a “very dangerous bird”, but Uncle Sam is a rehabilitated bird who’s blind in one eye and has a bad wing, and he’s regularly included in nature presentations attended by children. i met him as a child. children are allowed to walk up to him as long as they don’t touch him because he’s a chill old bird who’s used to it.

the president of the united states is less respectful to an old harmless bird than a bunch of CHILDREN

Reblogging for the 4th of July

Immorality isn't immortality!

Im-more-al-e-t

Im-more-towel-e-t -- 2nd word here is thing used to dry off with after a bath or shower.

One guy knew the word show but not shower by reading. "Who show?" He asked me. "Show me where you're speaking of" they clued in if I asked to be shown so I could clarify they knew they were wrong and would try again. He did and he knew shh --- rrr sounds were same things that could be done in a tub and that was what was on the paper. I helped him by pretending to turn on the shower and adjusting the shower head for better aim.

But he thought it was spelled shouher -- shout to her to get into the tub with me.

I said "what If she rejects you? Sh-ow-er"

Hr laughed. "Man all you that know English your life sucks she don't ever be rejecting me!!" He told our outdoor class

One of the most uplifting and beautiful lessons ever.

I swear he made me believe he learned to spell it right and just was there to teach us some long ago forgotten ancient history. It felt so much that way.

One of my personal chants I made up in the 1990s. Is above that. Not nearly as beautiful i felt in comparison.

1st word = being sinful

2nd word = immortal : without death

We taught it to the adults learning to read better in 2008.

Because they're old and argumentative I made it simple sound out syllables as opposed to the dictionary type "proper" way to write pronunciation.

But also we’re not becoming allergic to everything nowadays like certain white moms fear. Allergies have always existed. They were just talked about differently

Like “oh clams always ~turn my stomach~”. Or “what a pity he was taken from us at age 5”

This is a picture tracking bullet holes on Allied planes that encountered Nazi anti-aircraft fire in WW2.

At first, the military wanted to reinforce those areas, because obviously that’s where the ground crews observed the most damage on returning planes. Until Hungarian-born Jewish mathematician Abraham Wald pointed out that this was the damage on the planes that made it home, and the Allies should armor the areas where there are no dots at all, because those are the places where the planes won’t survive when hit. This phenomenon is called survivorship bias, a logic error where you focus on things that survived when you should really be looking at things that didn’t.

We have higher rates of mental illness now? Maybe that’s because we’ve stopped killing people for being “possessed” or “witches.” Higher rate of allergies? Anaphylaxis kills, and does so really fast if you don’t know what’s happening. Higher claims of rape? Maybe victims are less afraid of coming forward. These problems were all happening before, but now we’ve reinforced the medical and social structures needed to help these people survive. And we still have a long way to go.

This is one of my favorite anecdotes to show how clever rewording of statistics can make them say the opposite of what they mean:

Every time a state makes riding a motorcycle without a helmet illegal, the number of ER patients seriously injured in motorcycle accidents skyrockets. Every single time.

When you phrase it just right, it makes it sound like it’s more dangerous to ride a motorcycle with a helmet than without one. Of course, the reality is that before those laws, those patients were going to the morgue, not the ER.

Neopronouns are not a “tumblr fad”. Gender neutral pronouns other than they/them have existed in the English language for actual centuries. They are not harmful to the trans community.

To those who are against neopronouns, you’re acting against the evolution of a language and acting against something that’s been around for far longer than you’ve been alive.

To those who use neopronouns, your pronouns are not harmful. You do not deserve to be made to feel ashamed for your pronouns.

[boobless-wonder]

Op you can’t just drop this and expect us to not ask what the old school gender neutral pronouns were!!! How on earth are all my nb friends gonna pick the dapper pronouns????

[gothicourse]

I found these doing VERY minimal research:

•Ey/Em/Eir (1975, created by Christine M. Elverson)

•E/Em/Es (1890, created by James Rogers)

•Per/Pers/Perself (1976, Used in a novel by Marge Piercy)

•Thon/Thos/Thonself (1858, Created by Charles Crozat Converse)

•Ve dates back to 1980

•Xe dates back to 1973

•In 1789, William Marshall confirmed the use of both“a” and “ou” as a replacement for he/she/they and even i.

•Co/Coself (1970, created by Mary Orovan)

•Ne (1850, appeared in print in 1884)

•En (1868, mentioned by Richard Grant White)

•Han/Hans/Hanself (1868)

•Un/Uns/One (1868)

•Se/Sis/Sim (1884)

•Hesh/Hiser/Himer (1879)

•Hi/Hes/Hem (1884)

•Le/Lis/Lim (1884)

•Hersh/Herm (1884)

•Ip/Ips (1884)

•Hae/Haes(Hais)/Haim (1884)

•Tha/Thare/Them(Thon) (1885)

•Zyhe/Zyhe’s/Zyhem (1885)

•Ir/Iro/Im (1888)

•De/Der/Dem (1888)

•Hor/Hors/Horself (1890)

•Ith/Iths (1890)

Sources for these as well as many others that I didn’t add due to the list getting too long can be found here.

An interesting note is that in the modern language a lot more people use neopronouns then you would expect!

•Yo is a majorly African American pronoun coined in 2004 and used by Middle School students In Baltimore, Maryland.

•Fae/Faer, coined in 2014, is used by 4.3% of participants in the 2019 Gender Census.

Plus a vast variety of newly coined pronouns that you will have seen commonly floating around!

Neopronouns have existed and been recorded for a long time, they are not a new concept, nor are they mogai or a tumblr concept. They are not modern, there have just been many modern adaptions to already existing pronouns.

You know what?

I am annoying sometimes.

And that’s okay. It’s not the death sentence I was led to believe. People will love me even if I can’t read their signals sometimes. Not understanding is forgivable. I don’t have to hold myself back so I don’t annoy anyone ever.

The people who love me know I get excited. And I am still loved.
