[Audio description: part of the song “U Can’t Touch This” by Mc Hammer, except instead of the words “can’t touch this” it plays Griffin and Justin saying “come fuck this” from their spore playthrough. It syncs up perfectly.]

If you see Lord Duncan and the ratress please don't reblog it, please don't follow the social media accounts. Here's a thread on how Lord Duncan's owner is a negligent rat owner and mistreats her rats for attention on Instagram and how Lord Duncan's owner ignores obvious signs of distress in her animals.

[cyborgsmanifesto]

dealing with the worst case scenario

your condom breaks

you feel a lump on your breast

your friends are ignoring you

you’re stranded on an island 

you got rejected by a crush

you get into a car accident

you got stung by a bee/wasp

you got fired from your job

you’re in an earthquake

your tattoo gets infected

your house is on fire

you’re lost in the woods

you get arrested abroad

you get robbed

your partner cheated on you

you’re on a ship that’s sinking

you fall into ice

you’re stuck in an elevator

you hit a deer with your car

you have food poisoning

your pet passed away

you fall off of a horse

you or your friend has alcohol poisoning

you have toxic shock syndrome

your house has a gas leak

REBLOG THIS. I CANNOT STRESS HOW IMPORTANT THIS GUIDES ARE, BOOST THIS SHIT

[getupoffyourcassbutt]

If I don’t reblog this one of these things is definitely going to happen to me

[midnight-spectrum-again]

Important

[movecl-deactivated20201016]

i'm literally begging you to help us defend our freedom of speech. we have six days.

please reblog this post, especially if you live outside of the philippines. please help us.

i didn't make the carrd, but it's one of the most useful links right now. #JunkTerrorBillNow needs the most urgency, but there are other issues present too.

i'm begging you all to reblog.

[movecl-deactivated20201016]

i just woke up and wow

im going to start crying again but for a good reason

thank you to everyone who reblogged this. i don't know how it blew up, but it did. and the numbers are still spiking, which is great.

i made a slight error, i'm really sorry about that,

we only have six days until the bill relapses into law (until july 9)

please forgive the miscalculation; i know it takes away some of the urgency. but thank you so much for everyone who cares. i'm a small nobody, but seeing how many people have been reached by my post makes me feel like i'm helping a little. thank you for helping my countrymen fight our government. every little bit of effort helps.

What to do if you find yourself homless- written by someone who has actually been homeless

Most important: Spend the money you have on a motel. Churches probably will not actually help and shelters can be dangerous or turn you away. At a motel you have free breakfast, access to running water, and a lockable place to sleep. Do not waste money on a gym membership like the popular version of this post says to do, YMCA memberships are like $40.

2. Contact family and friends. Now is not the time to worry about being a burden. Your survival and safety comes first and that is all that matters, anyone worth having in your life will agree.

3. Start a gofundme. Even if someone can’t offer you a place to stay, they might be willing to toss out $5 so you can eat today.

4. Libraries have free wifi. Apply to any and all jobs you can think of if you aren’t already working.

5. Any home is a good home. Even if it’s a dingy apartment in a bad neighborhood. If its cheap and you can afford it, snatch it up. 

6. Pancake mix and peanut butter are filling, cheap, and last a long time.

PLEASE SHARE THE FUCK OUT OF THIS

hey guys friendly reminder from your fave Canadian that esk*mo is a slur so please don’t use it!

I see it usually in the context of “esk*mo kisses” which may pop up when people talk about their ships and their headcanon, but it means “snow eaters” in cree and is a slur against Inuit people so please just don’t use it!

and I would appreciate if u reblogged this because people outside Canada don’t seem to know this for the most part

[nanyangosaurus]

Also if you want to refer to ‘‘eskimo kisses’‘ and not use that term the Inuit term for it is ‘‘kunik’‘. It’s a traditional greeting usually between relatives or a child and an adult, although it’s a little different from nose kisses so most Canadians call it ‘‘Inuit kiss’‘ and I’ve heard other people call it ‘‘bunny kisses’’. Either way there’s no excuse to use ‘‘eskimo’‘ in this context or another.

[nihilismpastry-deactivated20230]

Thanks for telling us Americans definitely have no idea, so it’s good information. 

[hoardofhyperfixations]

Bunny kisses!! That’s so cute!

hey portland metro folks - Symbiosis PDX is doing another supply run to the Yakama Nation, and is looking for supplies like masks, laundry detergent, dish soap, sanitizer, and paper towels. you can drop off supplies at the hub at 400 SE 12th Ave (make sure it’s during their open hours), or mail them to 8510 SE Steele St. #C117, Portland OR 97266.

[leguin]

friendly reminder that academia must aim to include a wide range of perspectives and you can't just pick and choose which narratives to include in your academia. if you really want to be knowledgeable and intellectual, you can't choose to exclude perspectives that are not white, eurocentric and/or upperclass (or fit into some elitist aesthetic for that matter) and you cannot call yourself an academic if you only listen to the voices of rich white men. while the whole education system is at fault for not incorporating poc-inclusive and non eurocentric narratives into academia, and perhaps because of that, it is your responsibility to actively seek out voices that don't fit into the extremely narrow perimeter of views and voices that are usually prominent in academia. it's your duty as an academic to step outside of these narrow perimeters and educate yourself, especially if you've only been surrounded by a small variety of perspectives your whole life; and it's your duty to do this actively.

ADSLKFJLSDKF i WILL turn off submissions you little shits. 

someone just sent me doofenshmirtz x perry mpreg art, it’s not even the worse thing i’ve seen today

[biblicaaly-accurate-angel]

dr doofenshmirtz is WHAT

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

oh yeah, doofenshmirtz is trans-coded. there was a good post about it a while back

at first glance it passes for mildly sexist humor (him growing up being treated like a girl) but the creators are pretty progressive so i wouldn’t be surprised if that was their way of sneaking in a trans character. 

i know this solely bc i saw it on my dash months ago. this has no relation to the terrible art in my inbox, or the fact that perry is drawn as a horrible blue humanoid strongly resembling Handsome Squidward

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

that’s FALSE, actually! and a common but dangerous misconception, which i’ll get to in a minute.

it blows my mind that i have accidentally found myself in a discussion about dr  doofenshmirtz’s theoretical hrt status, but he canonically cannot grow facial hair & has an unusually high voice, so it doesn’t sound like he’s been through testosterone based puberty. not all trans people choose or are able to go on hormones, and plenty of people discontinue or take a break from hormone therapy (for person, medical, financial reasons etc).   

also he does have a daughter in the show. idk if it’s confirmed that she’s his biological child but plenty of trans people have kids, before or after transitioning. 

an important fact to know about trans health is that afab people who are on testosterone or have been in the past can still get pregnant. (some trans parents pause hrt in order to do so.) though in most cases testosterone lowers fertility, these changes are not necessarily permanent and hormone therapy is not a form of birth control (the last is true for both testosterone and estrogen therapy). If you’re having the type of sex that can result in pregnancy, talk to your doctor to make sure you’re using the right precautions. and whatever your assigned sex at birth, if you think you may want kids in the future be sure to talk to your doctor about fertility issues before starting hormone therapy. you shouldn’t have to choose between your transition and your ability to have children, if you want them. 

again, i cannot believe i’m having this conversation in regards to a kid’s cartoon character, but trans healthcare education is piss poor in my country, so we take opportunities where we find them

thanks to everyone in the notes for pointing out the platypus is also trans

[mercuryinfusedhatter]

i…. i learned about trans healthcare through a post about  doofenshmirtz x perry mpreg art

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

yep, welcome to hell! no one asked, but Perry is also trans (he sweats milk and doesn’t have the poisonous barb typical of male platypodes), and has canonically dated a male panda. stop telling me to post the art you utter clownmunchers

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

on second thought, i’ve reevaluated. 

for $3 i’ll post the art, for $7 i’ll refrain

#fun fact! for several years as a teenager i actively fantasized about running an organized blackmail ring#professional blackmailer was my dream career#i…read a lot of mystery stories as a kid. the blackmailers were my favorite criminals#i never understood why people gossiped for FREE when they could be getting paid to shut up

If you’re genuinely interested in learning more about settler colonialism and answering questions like “wait what does land back look like?” “What can I do?” and “What are the contexts informing this and why do Indigenous people reject being part of the US/Canada?” there are free syllabi online which can answer these questions (they will not answer it directly, the point is to get you to think for yourself and ask more questions that can lead you to thinking more deeply about this and how you can personally take action towards better practices of solidarity)

white people aren’t allowed to say poc anymore bc they don’t know the difference between an adjective and a noun. now they have to spell it out, and it’s spelled “PEOPLE OF COLOR,” since a lot of you also don’t know what these abbreviations even stand for

white people can reblog this, especially if you have a lot of white followers

[persephonewrites]

bc a lot of ppl in the notes have seemed to miss the point:

poc stands for people of color and person of color. “pocs” is wrong.

it’s not “poc characters,” it’s characters of color. 

it’s not “poc men” or “poc women,” but men of color (moc) and women of color (woc).
