oh my oh my!
I guess, some of you guys have already seen the speedpaint on youtube v//w//v
It’s a breezy summer day and the rustling from the leaves outside sound like whispers from my small apartment. I’m sitting in front of my laptop, silently studying the 1.6 billion faces speaking simultaneously in front of me. It’s Monday, the day of the weekly conference call between all Muslims. We have been required to attend this Skype meeting from the the tender age of fetus, but I had never spoken in one of them before.
That changes today.
“Hey guys, what if…” I start to say.
Nobody hears me, but I refuse to be silent. How could I show my face again on Tumblr if I couldn’t even save my mayonnaise friends from death? How could I expect to earn their respect? Anon was right; why hadn’t I done this before? Thousands of lives had paid the price for my ignorance, but not anymore.
“What if you guys….. stopped killing people.“
Suddenly, silence.
1,643,398,023 pairs of eyes are on me. My heart is in my throat as the ISIS leader gives me a blank expression.
A single tear rolls down my cheek. "Please.” I say with a broken voice.
He is moved.
“Aight”.
My fingers are almost shaking as I carefully type in the ten digit phone number I have had memorized my entire life. The buttons on my home phone seem to glow a bit more dull, and even the ringing of the phone from the other end seems to be agonized, almost as if the world is telling me to hang up. But I refuse to give up; I can’t let my lily-white friends down. Not again.
The phone rings once. Twice. Three times. Still no answer. Just as I am about to hang up, there is a click.
All I can hear is heavy breathing.
“Hello….” I say quietly, my voice shaking. “Is….. Is this Muslim?”
There was a long silence before I heard a voice answer “ya lol.”
“I was thinking………..” I begin cautiously. “Maybe murder is…………bad.”
“Habibi, I…..I don’t understand. What are you trying to say….?” The voice seems shaken.
“What if…….world peace is good and killing people is…………not good”
He lets out an audible gasp. “Are you saying ISIS is…….bad?”
“Maybe death is…….not good.” I continue. My heart is racing. I remind myself that I am saving thousands of lives, and inhale.
The silence from the other end of the line is almost deafening. He seemed to be thinking, as if he had never considered this idea before in his life. Truly I had opened his heart and his mind. This…. This could end terrorism.
“Muslim….Please.” I whisper.
I hear a tear roll down his cheek, with my Muslim Communication Hearing™, and hold my breath as he finally breathes out his next words.
“Kk.”
Oh hey it’s back on my dash perfect! I was just thinking of this the other day!
OHOHOHO wow the Korean alphabet is awesome. The people who designed it were geniuses and were obviously incredibly schooled in the morphology and phonology of their language. HNNGGG
여러분 모두 한국어 쓰세요 한국어 좋음
한국어, 한글은 보면 맨날쓰는거지만 볼수록,쓸수록 예뻐요..참으로 곱구나’3’♥
ㅇ어머 (감동
짱 이쁜 한국어 쓰세요 여러분
신기하게 가르치는군요 보고 신기했다
FUN FACT!
IT WASN’T JUST ANY OLD DUDE WHO DECIDED, “HEY I WANT TO CREATE A KOREAN ALPHABET.”
IT WAS KING SEJONG, WHO ORDERED HIS ROYAL SCHOLARS TO CREATE THIS ALPHABET SO READING AND WRITING COULD BE ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE, EVEN THE PEASANTS. IT WAS PURPOSELY DESIGNED TO BE EASY TO LEARN.
SO SHOUT OUT TO KING SEJONG, WHO REALIZED BEFORE MANY OTHERS THE IMPORTANCE OF UNIVERSAL LITERACY.
YOU GO KING SEJONG, FOUR FOR YOU KING SEJONG
Just so you know
EDUCATE.
Africa is the continent.
wish more maps like these came across my dash
i gotta find more people to follow who rebagel this sort of stuff
The same people that are quick to point out which state they come from in US, yet lump Africa into one homogeneous glop.

“Aw what a cute cat!”

What are you talking about? We, Switzerland, never had a damn school or mall shooting. We are definitely not the country with MORE shooting crimes than the U.S.
If you would like to back track, and read what I said...Per 100,000 people living in Switzerland, in 2011, 3.04% were killed with a gun. This figure doesn't include gun related crime, which is low granted, being 10th lowest in the world. (Roughly.) However, this figure is still higher than the percentage of gun crime in America per 100,000 people, remembering that the USA is huge. Granted Swizz gun laws are much better, and should be implemented in the USA as well, it is just a slightly bad example as a working country that has a public carry law. This mainly stems from the forced conscription of males, and the "voluntary" work of females, in which at the end of their service, they are given a gun. Leading to 45.7% of the population owning one outside of the millita. Source: http://www.gunpolicy.org/firearms/region/switzerland
things you need to know when talking to me:
i talk really fast
i mumble
sometimes i talk really fast and mumble at the same time
sometimes the words from my head don’t transfer right to my mouth so i sometimes just speak nonsense and im the only one who gets what im saying
have fun trying to understand me
i repeat stories a lot bc nothing interesting happens to me but i want to be validated
Nothing is going to change. Americans love their guns more than they love people and after Sandy Hook we decided that killing over 20 children was acceptable and not outrageous enough to make reasonable restrictions on guns. This is America, a country that has been around for 200 years, a superpower, a 1st world nation, and one of the wealthiest countries on the planet and we refuse to protect our own people. We respect guns more than we respect the lives of people.
What specific gun control measures would you propose and how would they directly and effectively make society safer?
Absolutely get rid of all AR-15′s and the like.
Intense background and criminal background checks and anything violent automatically disqualifies you.
Make getting a gun/gun permit more like getting a driver’s license:
permit to learn
includes an exam with 18 or more questions on the policies, laws, and etc of guns and gun ownership
if you get more than 8 questions incorrect you must retake it.
30 hours of practical experience at a gun range with a licensed teacher
Must take a 5 hour class on the dangers of guns and how to use them safely which will then yield you a certificate that grants you to take the practical exam and lasts for one year. If you don’t gain the license within the allotted year you must retake the class.
A practical exam with a licensed instructor who will grade you on various skills. If you pass you may be granted a permit on the weapon of your choice, the exams may differ on the type of firearm you want.
Follow the Japanese model where you must have two gun safes in different areas of the house, one to store the gun and one to store the bullets and you must provide the police with information on where those safes are.
No concealed carry and only handguns may be allowed to be out in public.
If transporting a weapon, it must be in the trunk of the vehicle, in a bag or some other case, safety on and unloaded and may not leave the vehicle until you are at the destination.
If you’re a hunter or some other gun hobbyist that requires a functional weapon other than a handgun then the gun must stay on the premises, whether that is a gun range or the Fish and Wildlife facility.
If you live in a rural area where police (and people, for that matter) are few and far between, something akin to a deer hunting rifle should provide plenty of protection from predators and poachers, you still have to follow the aforementioned steps.
This doesn’t cover everything but I think it’s a good place to start.
Can you show me evidence that this would directly and effectively create a safer society?
I have never laughed so hard at a gun law post. Like seriously, the evidence is in fucking reality. The proposed restrictions are just fucking logic.
Quick thing to note here, Switzerland is a bad example, considering it has more gun crime/shootings per populace than America.
am i annoying & a lil ugly? yes. but will i let that get in the way of doing what i love and being happy?? also probably yes

Dateing A trans Guy..
Some days he’s gonna be on top of the world. Some days he will walk into a bar like he owns the place just because you’re on his arm. But other days he won’t be able to get out of bed. Some days he will need you to guard the bathroom door in public so he can pee in peace. Some days he will need you to tell him he’s handsome a hundred times as he gets ready to go out. Some days you’ll have to point out that his arms look bigger from working out. Some days he will be angry for no reason because fighting his body takes a toll on him. Some days he may cry in your arms and you have to just let him. Some days he will hurt from binding, rub his shoulders. Some days you’ll have to learn his body, and relearn his body. Some days you won’t be able to touch him there, some days it might be okay. Some days he won’t be able to have sex because it’s too much and his body doesn’t feel right, don’t give him a hard time. Some days he will want to have sex all day. Some days a little “you’re my man” can go a long way. Some days he won’t see a single thing about himself that he likes and you might have to disagree, and he might not care, but insist on what you like anyway. Some days he might be scared, assure him it’s normal. Some days he might have doubts, about himself, about his gender, about life, and it can be hard to stand beside. It can be a lot, and if you can’t handle it you need to try to know that going in. But if you’re up to it, every day he could be your man and you have the opportunity to date someone that is learning to love themselves and grow and change and that’s a unique journey that very few people get to be a part of.
Gotta make em laugh so they forget you ugly
