Looking for a new book to read?

Jordan Lee and Skylar Davis are teenagers on a mission: Dodge their parents, earn money, and go see their favorite band in concert. It sounds simple on paper, but it ends up being anything but.

If you like books with complicated family dynamics, budding young love, and people slowly gaining independence against adversity, this might be the young adult novel for you! You can buy it (or read for free in Kindle Unlimited) here.

(TW: This book contains violently abusive fathers, emotionally unstable mothers, descriptions of death, and biphobia.)

Click here to support Help Fund Tori's Cancer Removal

Tori is a 7 and a half year old black lab and the best dog ever. Unfortunately, we learned last month that a growing mass on her underbelly is cancer and will need to be removed. There is no evidence of spread at this point in time, so we want to give her a fighting chance. She's still her usual,...

This is my dog, Tori. I’ve had her since she was a puppy, and she’s part of the reason I’ve remained sane for the last eight years. She’s the sweetest, best dog ever.

Unfortunately, we took her to the vet a month ago after discovering a lump on her underbelly and were told that it’s a mast cell tumor, AKA cancer. We attempted to get it removed by the vet, but by the time her appointment arrived, it was deemed too big to remove safely there, and we were referred to a surgeon. The surgeon can remove it, but now that the tumor is around 6cm, it would be major surgery that requires hospitalization. Also, because of the location and rapid growth, the surgeon wants to do an ultrasound of her abdomen to make sure the cancer hasn’t invaded her liver or spleen. The cost of all of this is around $5000.

Tori is otherwise healthy. There is no evidence of cancer in her blood or lungs. She’s still her same old self, and it would break my heart to see her slowly become sick, which is what would happen if this tumor isn’t removed as soon as possible. If there’s anything you can spare, please consider donating to help us help Tori. She doesn’t deserve this when she still has so much life left in her. Even if you can’t afford to help, please spread the word.

I just want to be “buy stuff for my hobby and not feel guilty” rich.

[heartbeatemoji]

any white at a protest who tries to go against police and deliberately provoke a response from them is not to be trusted and does not have the safety of black and brown people in mind.

[telegantmess]

there is a good chance that they are police too. if anyone, especially a white dude, ever randomly gets your attention and conspiratorially tries to convince you to jump a police officer, then dude is a cop. They have been using this technique and script for at least 30 years.

Check their fucking shoes. They’re always too afraid that their little toesies will be hurt so they’ll usually still be rocking the exact same boots as the guys on the other side. This was what gave the cops away when they provoked riots in Toronto a while back.

[levourdalak]

@talesofalamia, remember when I pointed out the shoes of the two well-dressed informants near us?

Similar note: IME, unmarked cruisers have five distinguishing traits: 1. They’re one of the department-issue models. 2. They’re always white, black, or dark blue. 3. They always look like they just rolled out of a car wash. 4. Usually rocking restricted plates. 5. Most reliable if present but hardest to spot: Their mirrors are bulkier, to fit the light rigs in.

In Austin the under cover officer that tried to convince me to set a cop car on fire had a convincing fake beard.

Be careful out there and read up on common tactics used against protestors before going.

You can usually see the stealth lights if you look into the grill.

Besides the old obvious as fuck Crown Victoria, be suspicious of 2013+ Ford Taurus and Explorer, 2006+ Dodge Charger and Dakota, 06-13 Chevy Impala, 11+ Chevy Caprice and both the Tahoe and Suburban.

Look for oversize mirrors, plugs on the roof and/or A pillar, lights inside the grill, extraneous lights inside the headlight assembly, lights tucked up behind the rear view mirror, steel wheels with or without wheel covers, and plugs or short antennas on the trunk lid.

Reblogging this for two reasons: 1. So people who have reason to be afraid of the police (which is pretty much anyone with significant melanin) see it. 2. Uh, good writer reference for describing undercover cop cars…

We don’t even need Disney. Shoutout to the young black writers, directors, producers, animators, we can make it happen.

This is even funnier than gal pal

We just bought a cute sofa from an antique shop, while being very obviously a couple and looking like a butch/femme salt and pepper shaker set, and the shop owner wanted to know how long we’d been, and I quote, “hanging out.”

[shiraglassman]

I’ll still laughing at this the next morning.

[fireandwonder]

*gets down on one knee in front of gal pal* *takes out ring* Will you hang out with me?

[skunkydpoopy]

There was one time I was out shoe shopping with my partner and I was debating buying these cute pastel green shoes. The saleswoman was like “well why don’t we ask your friend here?” I said “oh actually this is my partner.” The woman stared at us blank faced for a few awkward seconds before forcibly smiling and saying, “partner in crime?”

[shiraglassman]

JAW….DROP…. 

[lady-patra]

In a store once with a girl I used to date, browsing through all these different mattresses. One of the sales ladies came over and talked about all the beds with us for quite some time while we told her what we were looking for. It was painfully obvious we were a couple, like literally holding hands and calling each cute pet names out loud. Finally the sales lady laughs nervously and says “sooo.. wow, what kind of roommate setup is that that forces you two to have to share a bed!?” I just sort of stared at her for second at a complete loss and said “… the dating kind…”
