I'm a little teapot, short and elegantly painted. Full of hot water, herbs and flower petals, to be tipped and served with cookies. The perfect companion in cold weather.

EVERY SINGLE TIME I HAVE TO LOOK AT THAT TRASHY AD FOR WHITE MALE SUPREMACY

I am going to sign off. I do not want to see british Yt boys topless or even in suits on the side of my dashboard. That one bloom guy hasn’t even been relevant for like 5-7 years now and even if it was one of the more current/popular ones like...it’s not even an ad for a movie or show it’s just random pics and videos of him like every 30 seconds and one of them is a crotch shot and it’s really crass and disgusting @staff just so you know you’re losing clickbait/data-mining potential by allowing for that pornography to hit my dash so often.

ADDENDUM: Also killing the tab when I see the so-called-president-elect. Y’all claim to hate him but you stay promoting his image and giving him your energy and I’m just not on board with it. Some of it is funny but there’s just too much it’s like a bombardment

I’ve realized that the more diverse a cast is, the easier it is to spot the racist fans. They won’t ship a white main character with the black girl who’s his love interest because it’s “heteronormative” (it isn’t) and they want more “gay representation”. But then when his best friend is also a person of color they don’t ship them together because they just “don’t see them that way”. But then they’ll headcanon a Tragic Whiteboy Backstory for the kid that said literally 8 words to the main character. That kid will be their favorite character, their sweet little “cinnamon roll”and there’ll be 40,230 m/m fics of him and the main character. “Representation”. My ass.

Is this about Star Wars

It’s about a lot of things unfortunately. Star wars is just an example.

MEET THE GENIUS BUSH FAMILY; TEENS HAVE MASTER’S DEGREES, MOM IS ATTORNEY AND ARCHITECT

It has to be America’s most amazing family. Meet the Bushes from South Florida overachievers who stand at the ready to serve their country. Gisla and Bobby Bush have 9 children, who are some of the brightest young minds in the US.

Three of the oldest had graduated from college while they were still teenagers.

Gabrielle Bush graduated from college with a Bachelor’s Degree in health administration at 18. At 19 she received her Master’s Degree in public administration.

Grace Bush graduated from high school and college in the same week at 16. At 18 she earned her Master’s Degree in public administration.

Gisla Bush was only 18 when she graduated from college with a Bachelor’s Degree in urban design.

Other children are home-schooled as the rest of the family. All of them play musical instruments.

Their mom was asked about the secret source:

I bet you haven’t heard about this family that raise prodigy kids. The media always keep silent about successful Black people. 

That’s why representation matters.

pleeeeeaaaaase don’t make fun of people for being overenthusiastic about their interests. if you see someone getting really excited about something and you think it’s a good idea to ruin their fun (and don’t think people don’t notice your eye rolls and side glances) you’re an asshole

Elijah Wood Claims Hollywood Is in the Grip of Massive Pedophilia Epidemic

Former child star Elijah Wood has spoken out on Hollywood’s pedophilia crisis. But in an industry notorious for turning its back on the issue, will anyone listen?

Anne Henry, co-founder of the BizParentz Foundation: “We believe Hollywood is currently sheltering about 100 active abusers.”

[communistcoppola-deactivated201]

OMG! i’m so glad he’s in a space where he can talk about this, because its pretty well known that Hollywood is a cesspool for child molesters and are basically all high ranking individuals. absolutely despicable

[quasi-normalcy]

I mean, this wouldn’t surprise me at all. When you see so many people lining up to defend guys like Woody Allen or Roman Polanski, you’ve really got to ask why.

[mintmilano]

Corey Feldman and Corey Haim (may he Rest In Peace) have also spoken at length about this. It’s incredibly brave of someone with Elijah Wood’s profile to come forward with this.

[ericalamity]

There are over four million registered pedophiles in the US

That’s just the registered ones, y’all

The Banned Books List for Arizona Ethnic Studies

gehayi submitted to medievalpoc:

So I found this list of books that were banned from Tucson, Arizona schools when, in 2010, Arizona used a state law “to shut down the controversial classes that conservative legislators accused of politicizing Latino students.” The law has been declared illegal by a state court, upheld as constitutional by a federal court, and is now being appealed.

The fact that Arizona doesn’t want kids reading these books was enough to make me curious.

Banned Books List

High School Course Texts and Reading Lists Table 20: American Government/Social Justice Education Project 1, 2 – Texts and Reading Lists

(These seven were un-banned by the Tucson Unified School District as of October 2013; they can now be used as supplementary reading materials, though whether a teacher would do so when the law is still being enforced is anyone’s guess.)

I’m reblogging this post from 2-3 years ago to remind you of how much is ALREADY BANNED IN ARIZONA, and ask you to take note that now AZ House Bill 2120 is trying to ban all courses and events relating to Social Justice, ethnic solidarity, or gender equality.

Thorpe’s bill is particularly far-reaching in its targeting of social justice organizing and ethnic studies, said Martín Quezada, a Democratic state senator, and has prompted an outcry on Arizona campuses.

“Our students are terrified that their freedom of speech, their freedom of thought and their ability to learn about issues and think at a higher level is in jeopardy now,” he said. “The scariest part of this bill is that the impacts are so broad.”

[ericalamity]

PLEASE THIS IS SO IMPORTANT THIS IS HOW IT STARTS. IT WON’T JUST STAY IN ARIZONA.
