#educate yourself please

[uhoh-teddi-ohs]

I apologize beforehand for this rant. You have been warned.

It pisses me off so bad to try to listen to a paranormal podcast and eventually get to the obligatory Winchester Mystery House episode.

Sarah Winchester WAS. NOT. CRAZY.

She WAS. NOT. HAUNTED.

She didn’t go to see a medium. She didn’t go to the west coast because a medium told her to, it was because her family lived out there and she had no family left in Connecticut.

She was a genius. She was a child prodigy who spoke multiple languages from a young age.

She wasn’t obsessed with the number 13. She was incredibly good with numbers.

She didn’t do anything to confuse spirits (😒), she was BEING CREATIVE!!!!!!!!

It’s honesty an example of misogyny how she’s viewed as crazy because she was incredibly intelligent, and, guess what? AN INDEPENDENT SMART WOMAN IN THE LATE NINETEENTH EARLY 20TH CENTURY! 😮

Please don’t listen to the BS spouted about this place and this woman. It’s so disgraceful towards her and her legacy.

This can’t be real right? You can’t swim and your a merfolk? My culture isn’t YOUR tumblr “fad”… have you ever even felt the sweet caress of kelp on your feet? The fear of your last oyster being stolen? Or the pure horror of a squid inking in your face? Didn’t think so mer-faker…

First of all, I'm NOT a merfolk, I'm a mergirl. Get it right, stinky. Merfolk don't have to WORK for their place in the ocean the way I DO.

Please don't bring up that I "can't swim." Being raised as a... Ugh, "human" girl gave me TRAUMA. I AM A SURVIVOR! I can swim! You don't understand the WORK I have done to heal my human trauma. Come to me when you've worked for hours on your water breathing.

And no, I haven't felt "the sweet caress of kelp" on my feet. As has been well establish on my blog, if you even red my posts, I HATE FEET!

If you use a period tracking app - seriously look into it and be safe. If you need one, I recommend Clue. I use it myself and have had zero problems with it.

Clue is a period tracking app that’s based in the UK and will NOT sell your data. They have posted a full length post about their app on their instagram (@/clueapp) shortly after the SCOTUS ruling was issued.

I know everyone’s been talking about the Royal Family and stuff today but it’s genuinely really scary what’s happening in Northern Ireland atm. It’s over such a silly thing but it’s scary to think that riots are still happening!

And if you have no idea what’s happening I highly recommend you do research because it seems to be that no British politicians care. But seriously educate yourself on Northern Ireland and the troubles if you aren’t already!!

And it breaks my heart that 23 years later and everyone’s still fighting. I do hope that some days there’s Peace in the North

If anyone is interested in actually learning instead of being rude here’s a really good journal article about altered consciousness and native healing!

Dear companies,

It’s not that hard to educate yourself and market your products as the right animal... instead of false labeling the animal. 

I literally found safari butt mangnets that listed it as a leopard instead of a cheetah where it was clearly a cheetah: https://www.amazon.com/Kikkerland-Safari-Animal-Magnets-MG23/dp/B0068FM72A 

I found a blanket listed as cheetah but was clearly a leopard https://www.amazon.com/VMI-Cheetah-Print-Comfy-Throw/dp/B0049H4J0C/ref=sr_1_19?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1496422337&sr=1-19&keywords=cheetah+blanket 

I even found freaking wallpaper listed as cheetah when it was indeed a Jaguar. 

http://www.wallpaperwarehouse.com/product-details/Cheetah/1489857579TIQAGPMY

CHEETAH SPOTS LOOK NOTHING LIKE A LEOPARD OR A JAGUAR. LOOK AT THE BOTTOM PIC TO UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE. 

CHEETAHS DON’T HAVE THE ROSETTE SPOTS LIKE A JAGUAR AND LEOPARD DOES WHY DO COMPANIES FIND THIS SO DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND. 

Literally if you want to make animal theme products do us all a favor and market the animal theme as the right animal. Because then ppl will get confuse and be utterally convince that what they got was a cheetah pattern or a leopard pattern. And it’s just highly annoying. I understand being confused between Jaguar or Leopard, but there should not be confusing between a cheetah and leopard/jaguar. THERE SPOTS LOOK NOTHING ALIKE. AND WHY IS THIS SO HARD FOR PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND...

It's really sad that you think it's funny when you make fun of my gender but you're actually just an ignorant asshole

Ooooo yikes! Using the R slur? Ableism is not ok. I’m really not surprised you’re a G*na stan and a Christian when you’re saying things like that...

Educate yourself please

I don’t even know what ableism is. Retard is a word that i grew up hearing left and right. Along with sissy, jerk, dork, etc. I was recently told off for being offended for being called a Yank and a gringo, so apparently, it’s okay to use slurs. Were they wrong? I can’t even keep up.

Anyone who thinks that someone hates a Jew when they are standing up for Jews is being ignorant. There, are you happy??? Grow up.
