It’s funnier when you find out that’s his dad.

[titsandtwosugars]

that fact made this even better

[anxiouschupacabra]

That actually makes it 100000000% better bc it means it’s not some creepy rando getting up in his face.

[peachthatdrinkslemonade]

Me seeing the video without any context: that’s rather unfortunate that even men reporters are getting harassed now when we want it to be no one getting harassed when will the public learn

Me seeing the context: oh that little shit loves his dad and just wanted to mess with him at work this is certified cute now

Context makes me so happy

Halloween History Facts!

Most Halloween traditions originated in ancient Celtic harvest festivals, but in particular the Gaelic festival Samhain (pronounced SOW-in). These festivals had pagan roots, and were themselves eventually Christianized.

The Church couldn’t get rid of Samhain, so they rebranded it as All Hallow’s Eve (the eve of the Christian feast called All Hallows’ or All Saints’ Day).

No, seriously, the pope moved a summer holiday to winter, specifically so he could absorb Samhain into it.

All Hallow’s Eve eventually became Halloween, and spread outside of Christianity, while All Hallows’ Day itself fell in popularity.

So, many Halloween traditions started as pagan, survived the Church trying to claim them, and evolved into the modern non-religious practices we now know and love. 

And started spreading, because it turns out people just really really LIKE celebrating Autumn w/ food & dress up & carved vegetables

as an adult who has finally been on the other side of the “oh you’ve gotten so tall” thing, let me just say when adults say this to kids we’re not being sentimental or anything, it’s just that you’ve given us an abrupt & unwelcome reminder of the passage of time and our own mortality 

[agaggleoffandoms]

I have cousins that will randomly have a growth spurt when they’re 12 and be taller than me. Then they’ll have another one at 15-16 and be well over 6 foot tall. When I say “You’ve gotten tall” to them, it’s more in the spirit of “Stop that! That is enough!”

When I say “You’ve gotten tall,” it’s more in the spirit of "Stop that! That is enough!”

[rivertam-serenity]

I'm like the shortest person in my family and so especially when I don't see my nieces and nephews or little cousins for a bit and they have a growth spurt it's kind of a mix between the unwelcome reminder the passage of time sprinkled with a little bit of GOSH DANG IT I AM A HECKIN GROWN UP!! STOOOP BEING BIGGER THAN ME!!!!!!

“ Inge Ginsberg survived the Holocaust and became a spy for the Americans during WWII, smuggling arms to fight the Nazis. She married a composer and they wrote songs together in the 40’s and 50’s that were sung by Nat King Cole, Dean Martin, Doris Day, and Rosemary Clooney, among others. 60 years later, she got back into music and fell in love with Heavy Metal, which she now performs with world-renowned Classical musicians Lucia Caruso and Pedro da Silva – a.k.a. the TritoneKings.” There will never be anything more peak metal than this woman, ever.

If you dare come at me about banning straws, I will throw you into the sun cannon. I’m disabled, I’m crippled, I need disposable plastic straws, and all those pricey ridiculous alternatives aren’t working as well. Plastic straws were invented for the disabled.

Way to shit all over a vital access need because you think straws are worse than corporate greed.

We all care about the turtles, the seals, the oceans, obviously. Notice how the easiest thing to yell about was something that would barely affect anything but appealed heavily to emotional discourse.

The disabled community is huge, and it can be joined by anyone. Most of those As Seen On TV products were invented for us. Society still mocks us and ignores us, and often outright harms us in multiple ways.

Communicate better. Listen better. But stop putting us out in the cold because you are inconvenienced by our simplest needs.

[spooniestrong]

Straws aren’t killing the planet, its animals, or people. They’re a microscopic fraction of an iota of a percentage of the problem. You want to do something? Ban plastic fishing nets. Anything else is just a hollow feel-good gesture at the expense of real living disabled people.

i have an environmental degree and i’ve been saying this since this straw ‘debate’ started: its all a tactic by those in power to distract people’s attention from bigger issues such as fishing waste. don’t fall for it. and don’t be a dick to disabled people who need straws to make their lives easier.
