Happy Pride!

[rootbeergoddess]

Every pride, you must reblog this. No exceptions

[thesaltofcarthage]

I love that four different people on my feed scheduled this joyous person to reblog by 8am on June 1. I look forward to seeing this a dozen more times today.

The really funny part is "I Can Eat Glass" this isn't even the only popular 1990s Internet meme that involved collecting translations of a specific, slightly incongruous phrase. "Oh my God! There's an axe in my head." is another prominent example, just off the top of my head.

You want to call your House rep now and tell them Trump needs to be impeached immediately for defying a Supreme Court order (re: Kilmar Abrego Garcia), which functionally voids our constitution and means no one in America has rights anymore.

I am not exaggerating.

As of now, anybody can be disappeared, no due process, no recourse. Trump is openly disregarding a Supreme Court order and says he’ll send US citizens to El Salvador.

This is not a drill.

Call your House rep and tell them they must impeach. Tell them if they cannot bring themselves to impeach, they must resign. A more open and shut case to impeach is not possible. Trump and his administration are saying openly, in public, that anybody can be kidnapped by ICE, even in error, and disappeared permanently.

Call your senators, too, and tell them to support impeachment (it goes to them once it passes a majority House vote).

"Hello, my name is _______ and I am a constituent from _______. My address is ________.

I am reaching out today to urge Representative ______ to call for the impeachment of President Trump due to his refusal to comply with the Supreme Court's April 10th decision regarding Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was unlawfully deported and has been charged with no crime. As Justice Sotomayor stated, this inaction implies the government's ability to 'deport and incarcerate any person, including U.S. citizens, without legal consequence, so long as it does so before a court can intervene.' This precedent is unconstitutional, highly illegal, and grounds for impeachment. Every individual, regardless of immigration status, must be guaranteed a right to due process.

Representative _____, I urge you to stand on the right side of history today by calling for President Trump's impeachment. This administration can not be allowed to continue unilaterally defying the checks and balances that are intrinsic to our government."

You can also find your representative and senators and their phone numbers on https://5calls.org/

Please don't be afraid of calling. Your job would just be to be a data point, not to sound perfect. Here's some info on why calling is effective.

so the french verb for "missing" someone (manquer) is like ours in that it is also used in context we use the word "miss" (it also fills a role like "lack"), one can "manque" a flight or an appointment, it can mean to fail at something, or to be not-there, missing, etc, BUT in the interpersonal context, the construction is backwards from ours! if I miss you, "tu me manques" (you lack me. if the direct object is a pronoun french is SOV). which FEELS backwards but sort of makes more sense? if someone "is missing", theyre not there, they are the one doing the being-not-there. like something can be lacking something else, or it can be DOING the being-lacked. and just like english, manquer can fill either role. so in "tu me manques", rather than concieving of it as "i am lacking you" (as in "i miss you") its more like "you are lacking from me". kinda neat!

this is part of a general thing french does where they like to use state-verbs. we have state-verbs (verbs that by doing mean youre in a particular state, or have a particular trait), presumably every language does. but theyre everywhere in french

[discoursedrome]

one thing I find genuinely disorienting about french is that there's all these verbs that virtually always take a personal pronoun, but it's not actually clear whether it's for a direct object or a dative indirect, since they're mostly the same in both cases. So you need to memorize it for the rare cases where it matters but the forms where it's visible almost never come up. This one is actually indirect, il lui manque, il manque à elle, and it's way easier to parse like that ("he is missing to her"), but no one ever says the latter, and il lui manque is usually the completely unrelated impersonal form that also takes a direct object, il lui manque quelque chose.

(it's only related thematically, but I also trip up on ennuyer, which is like: Ça m'ennuie is "that bores me", Je m'ennuie is "I'm bored", but Je m'ennuie de toi is "I miss you". This isn't even the previous issue, all three are accusative! It's just One Of Those Things)

as an autistic jew, passover is objectively the best holiday because it’s a dinner party with a script that everyone has to follow

[jewish-rock]

as another autistic jew, passover is objectively the worst holiday because i can’t eat any of my normal foods and that’s horrible

[aleph-sharp]

As a 3rd autistic jew, I agree with both, but *Also* passover is the best holiday because as long as I can reapply a special interest to the pesach story I can talk about it whenever

But its the Worst holiday because there is mandatory cleaning with a deadline before

[furious-shebrew]

As a 4th autistic jew I think there are merits to many of these points but wanted to bring up that the food is basically the same every year, which is really nice and predictable

But passover also sucks because you’re expected to read with people watching you

[matan4il]

4 Jews, 6 opinions. You did it, y’all! You brought that old Jewish joke to life! <3

[cunt-force-therapy]

When an opinion is born does it automatically attach itself to a Jew or do you have to hunt them down

[kick-a-long]

Both, some you hunt and some hunt you, but you should ask more Jews because they might not agree with me.

One weird experience of transitioning is failing at ur assigned gender role the whole time and everyone constantly deriding you for it but then u come out and it's like we lost a beautiful gender conforming warrior today. Must grieve for my wonderful child who pissed me off by being ugly and weird since day 1

This is something that I teach my students during the first week of school and they understand it. Eight year olds can understand this and all it costs is a box of band-aids.

I have each students pretend they got hurt and need a band-aid. Children love band-aids. I ask the first one where they are hurt. If he says his finger, I put the band-aid on his finger. Then I ask the second one where they are hurt. No matter what that child says, I put the band-aid on their finger exactly like the first child. I keep doing that through the whole class. No matter where they say their pretend injury is, I do the same thing I did with the first one.

After they all have band-aids in the same spot, I ask if that actually helped any of them other than the first child. I say, “Well, I helped all of you the same! You all have one band-aid!” And they’ll try to get me to understand that they were hurt somewhere else. I act like I’m just now understanding it. Then I explain, “There might be moments this year where some of you get different things because you need them differently, just like you needed a band-aid in a different spot.” 

If at any time any of my students ask why one student has a different assignment, or gets taken out of the class for a subject, or gets another teacher to come in and help them throughout the year, I remind my students of the band-aids they got at the start of the school year and they stop complaining. That’s why eight year olds can understand equity. 

[momo-de-avis]

I remember reading somewhere once “we should be speaking of equity instead of equality” and that is a principle that applies here me thinks

I will reblog this every time it shows up on my dash, because, frankly, the world cannot get enough reminders.

FUN AUSTRALIAN MAMMAL FACTS!!!! Antechinus are a small rat thing. The males never live to be over a year old because every year during breeding season they have so much sex for so long and so hard that their tiny little hearts give out and they die of exhaustion or just not eating for several days. Every single year every single man of the species dies because they have too much sex. As an asexual this is very funny to me.

Bonus: Woylies are a type of kangaroo

^^ This sucker is fully grown

Double bonus: Both of these animals are very endangered and not well known so there aren't many programs that are protecting their habitat or rehabilitating them. Tell people about the sex rats to be a wildlife warrior!!
