When people compare the greatness that is The Simpsons to other animated shows like Family Guy it makes me want to set myself on fire

I went on a date last year and jokingly said “Don’t ask me I’m just a girl” and giggled at a 35 year old man thinking he’d get the reference and instead he said “that’s what I like to hear.”

People always gloss over how mentally damaging it can be to work in retail. I fucking hate that whenever I say “I could never work in retail again” someone has to reply “You snowflake millennials can’t take a starter job because you have to INTERACT with other people” No. Fuck you. I’ve worked as a planetarium host. I’ve worked as a public speaker. I’ve worked as a tutor and as a student teacher. I can work with people. I can work with crowds. Retail was fucking different. Retail was being treated as a subhuman. Retail was being treated so poorly that you have anxiety attacks before work. Having to work retail was a factor in my last suicide attempt. If I hear you say one fucking word about retail workers playing the victim I will personally break every bone in your body. Fuck You.

The holidays are coming up. Retail workers are going to be spiraling into a nightmare beyond human comprehension. If you’ve worked retail, you know this. If you haven’t, be aware of it. Please be kind to every retail worker you come across. Please be patient and understanding. It is misery out there.

All US public schools should receive the same funding based on the amount of enrolled students

All property taxes that would initially go to the local school district should be nationally divided between all US public schools.

If previously wealthy school districts funding needs aren’t being met, the education budget should be nationally increased, to provide the same public school education for all children in attendance.

[justsomeantifas]

Low test scores should never decrease funding. 

Schools should not receive funding based on the success of their students.

Schools with high rates of failure should receive special attention to bring them back up to par with the rest of the public education system.

[justsomeantifas]

All students should have safe and reliable transportation to their public school if they cannot make the walk to school due to disability or distance.

All students should receive a free lunch and breakfast if they want it while at school. These meals should meet the nutritional needs of the students.

[justsomeantifas]

A public school should never rent out equipment, musical instruments, supplies, etc.

Students should never pay for things the school already owns.

[justsomeantifas]

If a public school demands its students wear uniforms then the school should buy the uniforms for their students.

If a public school demands certain supplies the public school should provide said supplies to all students.

[justsomeantifas]

All public school students should have healthcare; if they don’t already have it then the moment they are enrolled in school they should be given it for free by the state. Poor attendance from students should never put them in juvi, or other detention centers for youths. 

Poor attendance from students should never decrease funding of a school.

All students with poor attendance should have special academic and medical attention paid to them to solve the problem of why they cannot or will not show up to school.

[justsomeantifas]

All public schools should have on staff at least one professional nurse practitioner and one professional therapist, both specializing in the ages of students at the school.

All public schools should have several caseworkers to help parents navigate the bureaucratic paperwork hell.

All schools should have their staff as diverse as their student body; schools with mostly black students should never have 100% white teachers.

Y'all ever realize just how fucking low the bar is and how far under it we’ve dug?

everyone: writing fanfiction is a great way to explore your various sexual fantasies 

me, through clenched teeth: what if they lived in a TINY house and took NAPS all the time

[vowel-in-thug]

I truly had no idea this would pick up so much traction but i’m glad to know we’re all in the same boat of living out unrealistic fantasy scenarios re: intimacy and home ownership

[ms-demeanor]

me, sobbing: And they had game night with friends and everyone took turns hosting and everyone was okay.

[heroofthreefaces]

The story of Balto is interesting. He led a team of sled dogs across the Alaskan wilderness in the dead of winter with diphtheria antitoxins to stop an outbreak in Nenana Alaska. Diphtheria is a deadly infectious disease that could wipe out a third of a town’s population. It is mostly unknown to the public today because of vaccines. Balto’s body is preserved in the Cleveland Museum of Natural History.

[your-naked-magic-oh-dear-lord]

He’s a big hero of mine!

[pugcrumbs]

Let’s not forget Togo! Who, at 12 years old during the serum run, lead his team 200 miles through much more dangerous conditions during the first leg of the journey before Balto ran the last 55-mile stretch.

[space-buns]

Togo and Balto didn’t bust their asses for dying children for you to turn around and not vaccinate your damn kids

PSA to boys, butches, and binders: if you wear a binder and plan on going on a bullet train here’s some advice:

1. Don’t

the pressure from accelerating to get to top speed fuck with your lungs big time. i had to take mine off 3 minutes into the ride because I couldn’t breathe and started hyperventilating. im currently just in a big tshirt and im doing much better- a sports bra would probably also b safe.

pls share this with anyone you know who wears a binder, this shit was terrifying.

The New Spiritual Consumerism

On shows like “Queer Eye,” makeovers, shopping and redecorating are presented as deeply meaningful — even political.

Listen. It does not matter what kind of student u are. The minute u sit in the back u have no idea what’s going on and the minute u sit in front u suddenly ask every dumbass question that flits into ur brain. We are ruled by the Seats and it cannot be changed, only overcome.
