i bet when shitty passes the bar smh starts saying “at the advice of my attorney…” in reference to every stupid, but shitty-approved thing they do, including gems like:

“At the advice of my attorney I will be drinking mimosas before 10am.”

“At the advice of my attorney I will be taking another shot.”

“At the advice of my attorney I will be making fourth of july picnic guests uncomfortable with open displays of homosexuality.”

“At the advice of my attorney I will be climbing this tree while drunk.”

“At the advice of my attorney I will be mixing this jungle juice in the tub.”

[watermelonmountaindew]

Bonus:

When reporters ask Jack stupid questions he starts responding with:

“My lawyer has advised me not to answer that question.”

If I ever find out which evolutionary ancestor is responsible for the “scratching an insect bite produces the purest bliss you’ll ever know for 0.57 seconds and then unleashes fiery agony immediately after” epidermal punishment loop I will find a time machine and commit homicide, I don’t care if it means the human race never evolves, let the crabs take over if they want it so bad

Hey so

the last time I reblogged this post right before I got a great job, in a permanent work-from-home position, with benefits, retirement, and a salary literally 3x what I was making before, doing something I really like. 

So you know. 

This might be the real one, y’all.

As a gender nonconforming cis dyke, I’ve received a lot of weird hostility in bathrooms. Like, a lot. The mild but frequent stuff is when people see me, do a visible double take, and go check the sign again. The not entirely common, more aggressive stuff is when people verbally question why I’m there. More than once I’ve had someone call me “it” or confront me about my gender in public settings. I’ve had people try to tell me to leave.

But the only place I’ve had someone physically try to remove me from a bathroom was in London.

Some random middle aged woman thought that she had the right to put her hands on me simply because I don’t match her ideas of what femininity is, and I don’t think it’s a coincidence that this happened in a place where transphobia is running rampant. Of all the weird stuff that’s happened to me in pretty conservative parts of the US, they simply are not as emboldened here as they currently are in the UK; but don’t think for a moment that they don’t intend to get there.

Trans people are reason enough to fight these bigots. It’s a good enough reason. Trans people deserve respect, dignity, compassion, and protection. But if you think they’ll be satisfied with only pushing trans people back into the closet, you’re utterly deluded. They want absolute conformity, simple as that, and they’re increasing their push here too.

Any lesbian who aligns herself with transphobia is a traitor. Simple as that.

Guess who may have broken his toe and will probably have to go to the hospital on his birthday

i think the hardest part about this job is not being able to say What The Fuck

[icouldwritebooks]

During my sophomore year biology class, we all had to dissect worms. One of the kids in class ate one. A few minutes into the class, the teacher was like, “oh, by the way, make sure not to touch your mouth. These worms are covered in super poisonous formaldehyde.”

The kid who had eaten the work went pale. The kids at his desk huddled around him for a whispered discussion about whether or not he should admit to what he’d done, or keep his mouth shut and hope he survived it. He eventually decided that he did not want to risk death, put up his hand, and very timidly informed the teacher of his little snack.

The poor teacher. She just got this look on her face, like she was considering switching careers immediately. Anyway, she ended up calling 911. I don’t know how things went down at the hospital, but the kid survived.

Right. We’re going to have words about that last tag there.

Sometimes good parents make mistakes.

[what-even-is-thiss]

There might come a day when you look at your parent who loves you, tries their best, never abused you, and realize that they don’t always know best. And it’s a weird thing to come to terms with. To know you were loved but there were still bad things that they did accidentally. But even if it’s small you’re allowed to struggle with it. You don’t need to have been through the worst kind of abuse to question your parents.

[what-even-is-thiss]

This isn’t a post about abusive and/or manipulative parents. It’s about things like your mom leaving you with an irrational fear of germs or your dad trying to get you on a diet when you’re a kid because he believes the studies about weight affecting health. Not intentional harm and not abuse. Just garden variety mistakes.

A 22-month-old female scaredy cat tiger appeared to get the shock of her young life when she encountered a dead leaf floating on a pool of water in the Bandhavgarh National Park, India. Clearly unusure about just what was approaching her, the partially submerged youngster’s tail shot up in the air and with teeth bared she let out her most fearsome growl - all in an effort to scare the humble leaf away.

if you would all like to cry a little more today, but also have a reminder that people have always been people, and we connect to those who came before us even if we did not know them

in glasgow necropolis, there is a gravestone. it is very small and unassuming. in fact, it's very easy to overlook because if you walked past it it would not even come up to your knees and it peeks out of the surrounding foliage

there is no date of birth, nor date of death.

it is the grave of a child. her name was "Wee Bessie" Wilson. she lived, and then died aged just 2 1/2, sometime in the victorian era (from the age of the stone, and the fact the necropolis is largely a victorian burial ground)

nobody knows who she was, anymore. but 150-200 years later people leave flowers, toys, brightly coloured pinwheels, teddy bears, or seashells on it as they pass

bessie is gone. everybody who knew bessie is gone. the people who knew the people who knew bessie are gone. but she was 2 1/2 years old and goddamnit she's going to have a brightly coloured pinwheel or a teddybear or a pretty seashell

[waitforiiiit]

It's important to me to point out that Wee Bessie didn't have "accomplishments". She didn't have a degree, or a particular job title, or a salary. She wasn't a homeowner or a parent. Her life was not impactful because it was goal-oriented, it was impactful because it happened. Her legacy is in her existence, not in a checklist, and your life is valuable regardless of what you achieve or what you leave behind.

[somecunttookmyurl]

from the size of the stone, her parents were not wealthy. but they loved her enough in her short life to give her what they could. to make sure she was remembered.

and after all this time, strangers still honour that by making sure a toddler has a toy.

[thesaltofcarthage]

between this and King Tut’s ducks I see we are having a Weep Over Children Day on tumblr

[somecunttookmyurl]

as the op of both posts i did that on purpose and i will not apologise

[thesaltofcarthage]

nor should you apologize; it’s good for us to recognize our humanity.

[thebibliosphere]

Things I was not expecting to be reminded of today, Wee Bessie. It’s nice to know people are still leaving things. I used to love going for walks through the Necropolis and seeing flowers on the old graves was always nice.

If you make small dick jokes you’re intersexist, I don’t care if you’re doing it to take a cis mans ego down a notch, you’re still contributing to social stigma and shame, some people who have smaller phalluses get them surgically removed without their consent and those who did not have to endure that kind of pain don’t deserve to be ridiculed for it.

[intersapphic]

HERE is something I’m so used to seeing but I know a lot of people are not.

ID [a scale of a measuring tape, the first small section is pink and over it is written “it’s a girl! (Under 3/8”)”. The next section is purple with and over it is written “unacceptable (surgery)”. The last section is blue reads “it’s a boy! (Over 1”)”. On the blue section is written “Phall-O-Meter”. Under the scale reads “Actual scale. The above are actual current medical standards. Challenging these standards, ISNA works to create a world free of shame, secrecy, and unwanted genital plastic surgery for children born with mixed sex anatomy”]

Maybe some food for thought next time you decide to crack an unfunny and overused joke.

And yet people still manage to get it backwards???
