This link explains the concept of GNU. The idea was created Terry Pratchett, who died recently. This is our way of paying tribute.

life hacks from cats
you can fix any illness or injury by humming to yourself
nobody should be alone in the bathroom, ever
if you’re scared of someone, just fluff up your hair real big and they’ll probably leave you alone
when you pee on something, you own that thing. congratulations! property is urine
if it makes a sound like food, it is definitely food and you should try to eat it no matter what
hitting someone in the face is an appropriate way to thank them for doing your hair
when your friend is sad, sitting on top of them will make them feel better
if a gross dude is trying to have sex with you and you’re not into it, just shrug your shoulders and walk a few feet away and he’ll forget what he was doing entirely
missed the toilet? it’s ok. just kick some tp over it and nobody will know the difference. it’s also ok if you don’t even manage to cover it up as long as you tried
when you have leftovers, scratching the table around your dish will keep them fresh and tasty until you’re ready to eat again
if you are lonely and want affection, headbutting your best friend at full force is the best way to let them know you want to hang out
jealous because someone else is getting all the love? berate them until they leave the room. the other person will then be happy to immediately transfer their affection to you
silently and grimly kicking your brother in the stomach is a fun way to spend an afternoon
there is no limit to the number of times gravity can be discovered
it’s very important to keep yourself hydrated! find the stupidest possible way to drink water and do that. make sure to get your neck nice and wet for no real reason
when you’re finished styling your coif in the morning, remember to eat the hair you’ve combed out for a morning pick-me-up snack
doors should never be closed. if a door is closed it is a terrible mistake and must be remedied immediately by screaming at your mom
taking a shortcut to your favorite restaurant means that the restaurant will be an entirely different place by the time you get there
for a dramatic and loveable makeup look, wing both your top and bottom eyeliner all the way out to your ears and then draw a little “m” on your forehead
when it’s time to take the edge off, scatter your favorite drug on the floor and just roll around in it until you drool
need exercise? do sprint laps of your house at three in the morning. don’t worry about knocking things over! your health is more important than that ming vase.
Thank you, I needed the cat rules explaining again.

Girl Scout Cookie Time!
You can buy cookies online from any troop with a page set up. People bought so many cookies from troop 6000 (who is based out of a homeless shelter in NYC) that is broke the counter on the website.
Here’s six troops from high poverty areas that may struggle to reach their goals. Individual troops list on their page what they’re doing with funds. for many of these its simple things like badges or craft supplies. Get yourself some cookies.
troop 168 Sabra Grande, Puerto Rico
Troop 3559 Chinlee, Az (Navajo nation)
Troop 31897 Meadow Bridge, West Virginia
Troop 70115 Rena Lara, Mississippi
Troop9626 Kykotsmovi Village, AZ -Hopi Nation
Troop 30349 Darien, GA
You can also just donate cookies on there and they’ll be distributed to the local community. (I work at food pantry here and clients are always excited to see cookies on the shelves)
You can look up your local troop by zip code on https://www.girlscouts.org/ If they’re similarly struggling to raise funds, reblog and add ‘em on to the chain.
Troop 9626 Hopi Nation is ONE GIRL. Her goal is to sell 3,000 boxes of cookies.
ONE GIRL. Show her some love.
i just got home from seeing birds of prey and i’m just so ANGRY ok like every time i see a movie/tv show written/directed by women, starring women, made for women, i leave the theater feeling so HYPE and SEEN and like i can do ANYTHING and the way women love MATTERS, like hustlers and little women and the witcher made me want to eat the world RAW, and i just feel so much RAGE because this is how men get to feel ALL THE TIME about NEARLY EVERYTHING EVER MADE and they don’t even REALIZE it, they have no idea the world could or should be ANY DIFFERENT no wonder men can be such entitled MONSTERS they think everything is FOR THEM because it IS
and ANOTHER thing!!
i saw both birds of prey and the witcher with my bff, who is a straight cis man, and in both cases he enjoyed them because i enjoyed them so much, and god bless him for that, but when i asked him what HE thought of them, he said he didn’t particularly like them. and we had a long discussion about how the plot comes secondary to the characters “so it’s like the story doesn’t even matter” he said. and i told him, do you know that’s how most fanfic is too? and character-driven stories where the plot and stakes are less important than the growth of the protagonist are often the kinds of stories women are drawn to??
and i asked him, who is the audience? he didn’t know. i asked, do you think this is a story made for you? and he said, i guess not. (i should pause here and say we have these kinds of discussions a lot; i’m not like baselessly interrogating him. he made it clear he wanted to be having this conversation.) and then i said, if it’s not made for you, how can you enjoy it? he said he didn’t know.
and then i told him this is what it’s like to be a woman watching media made by men, that “ehh, it was alright but it obviously wasn’t for me” feeling he had while watching birds of prey and the witcher is threaded through every second of our lives. and so we’ve had to develop the tools to find ourselves in stories, to empathize with people who aren’t like us. this is true for queer people, people of color, and disabled people too.
i told my bff he would like these things if he watched them through a woman’s mind. he said he didn’t know how to do that. and i told him that i have to watch everything to a man’s mind all the time. i know how to see through a man’s eyes in order to enjoy stories that are by and for men, but men have never been tasked with seeing something through a woman’s eyes in order to make it for them.
i’m just so mad about the life i’ve been denied, the person i might have been if i’d been surrounded by stories for whom i was the audience.

*Merry losing his shit in the foreground*
*Aragorn losing his fucking mind in the background*
How are disabled and interracial illegal???
Interracial marriage was outlawed for the longest time, and disabled people lose government benefits when they get married so they cannot have reassurance that they will continue to LIVE if they get married.
Story time: my mom is white, dad is black. They’ve been together twenty four years, married for twenty three. When my parents were dating they did it on the low TO KEEP MY DAD SAFE.
My mom’s parents said “We don’t care who you love.” At that point she’d only ever brought home white guys. She brought my dad home-her mother called her a nigger lover and damned the relationship as much as possible. Her father grew around his prejudices after I was born but never apologized, just wasn’t a blatant fuck.
The day she introduced my father to her family was the last time she spoke to her mother for over twenty years. When I was getting sick and she called and asked her mother and grandmother if anyone in the family had anything strange happen similar what I was going through they told her “it’s because you married a black man. You made your bed, you lie in it.”
Cops pulled them over all the time and asked my mom IF SHE WAS OKAY AND IF SHE NEEDED HELP BECAUSE MY FATHER-A BLACK MAN-WAS DRIVING A 100 POUND WHITE WOMAN AROUND. HE WAS HARRASSED AND THREATED WITH ARREST.
My father ended up getting into a fight in self defence because some entitled hick decided he didn’t like seeing a black man and white woman in the bar together. Thankfully other patrons helped my father but he still couldn’t go to the er for his injuries. My mom patched him up and they were terrified the cops would take him away.
THEIR BEST FRIEND GOT LICENSED TO MARRY THEM SO THEY COULD ACTUALLY TIE THE KNOT BECAUSE NO ONE ELSE WOULD AND CITED JIM CROW ERA LAW AS TO WHY.
When shopping with just me my father wouldn’t hold my hand if there was a group around. Why? I’m far lighter than him and people had stopped and asked him “whose child is that?” Or “little girl where’s your parents?” and were stunned when I grinned and pointed at my dad and proudly proclaimed “my daddy’s right here.” You know where else mixed kids couldn’t hold their parents hands? Apartheid South Africa. We live in fucking FLORIDA.
So yeah. Some history for you.
This post was made in October 2018. The above poster’s parents met in 1994. We were a generation removed from the Civil Rights movement and this was happening.
when my parents got married in 1979, they had to check to make sure they could legally do it at their intended venue
why?
my mom has epilepsy, and in the late 19th-early 20th centuries, several states passed laws banning people with epilepsy- among other disabilities -from marrying
(luckily the state in question had removed the law from the books, but just the fact that it was a concern is appalling)
And it’s SO important to remember these things. People on tumblr often somewhat remember life before Hodges v. Obergefell, but many were kids. And that was just 4 years ago. Loving v. Virginia, the case that allowed interracial marriage, was argued in 1967. My mom was 9. She’s a Boomer and I’m a Millennial. This was NOT that long ago. But by not framing it like that, it’s easy for people for whom it’s always been law to not realize how recent it was.
This is an important message.
I will never NOT reblog this.
YAS YAS!!!!
We all need to stop holding ourselves to unrealistic standards so we can live a better life
P R E A C H
