Part of being autistic is having to jump through a million hoops just to prove you actually require accommodations! Kudos to the parents who have to do that in their child's stead. Us autistic adults feel for you.

Someone asked me a while ago if I still had a photo of the worst sink I had ever seen while apartment hunting in Los Angeles. I assumed I deleted it so I didn't answer the ask and now it's gone, but as it turns out, yes, I do still have a photo of it.

She's a ten, but she drags you in an alley in the middle of the night, kills 4 thieves in front of you, and then says that you should think upon this valuable lesson™.

She's still a ten.

Some names just sound so ridiculously fake that had they been fictional, people would’ve rolled their eyes in complete disbelief. Like seriously. Wdym there’s a mf called Galileo Galilei. Stfu. You just made that up

[ryan-sometimes]

Fastest man on earth is a guy called Usain Bolt. Sure I guess. There’s a poker player whose real name is Chris Moneymaker. Whatever. Scott Speed is a racecar driver. Founder of Tito’s Vodka is some guy called Bert Beveridge. There’s a former CNN bureau chief called William Headline. You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.

The plot of A Scandal in Bohemia is Irene Adler orchestrating an elaborate escape to get away from her abusive ex (the king hires people to stalk her, confront her, break into her home, steal from her, etc.). AND SHE ESCAPES! SHE'S FREE!

So every time an adaptation includes her as a criminal, love interest, or femme fatale who loses to Holmes it's not just missing the point, it's genuinely so fucking disrespectful.

[doingbad]

Exactly, exactly @skyriderwednesday

#SHE WINS!!!!!#THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT OF HER#she makes holmes see that he was the being used to do evil to an innocent woman because he didn't bother questioning the motive of the king#that's why he keeps her photograph imo#to remind him to keep his eyes open and question all sides of a case#it's a 'norbury' if you ask me#to open his desk drawer and see ms adler looking back at him#is to ask the question of himself ''am i in the right here?''#''am i aiding the correct party in this case?''#sherlock holmes

How Lord Peter Wimsey reacts to His Child Being Born

"Good God!" said his lordship. "Did I do that?"

"All the evidence points that way," replied his wife.

"Then I can only say that I never knew so convincing a body of evidence produce such an inadequate result."

The nurse appeared to take this reflection personally. She said in a tone of rebuke: "He's a beautiful boy."

"H'm," said Peter. He adjusted his eyeglass more carefully. "Well, you're the expert witness. Hand him over."

The nurse did so with a dubious air. She was relieved to see that this disconcerting parent handled the child competently; as, in a man who was an experienced uncle, was not, after all, so very surprising. Lord Peter sat down gingerly on the edge of the bed.

"Do you feel it's up to standard?" he inquired with some anxiety. "Of course, your workmanship's always sound—but you never know with these collaborate efforts."

"I think it'll do," said Harriet drowsily.

"Good." He turned abruptly to the nurse. "All right; we'll keep it. Take it and put it away, and tell 'em to invoice it to me. It's a very interesting addition to you, Harriet; but it would have been a hell of a rotten substitute." His voice wavered a little, for the last twenty-four hours had been very trying ones, and he had had the fright of his life.

The doctor, who had been doing something in the other room entered in time to catch the last words. "There was never any likelihood of that, you goop," he said, cheerfully.

Tiger found caged in abandoned home gets second chance at wildlife sanctuary: ‘He seems to be so happy’

The estimated 350-pound tiger was transported to the facility, an affiliate of the Humane Society of the United States, on Wednesday afternoon, and is settling in well, Almrud said. There, he will have the chance to roam in enclosures of up to three acres.

Almrud, who estimates him to be about 2 years old, described the moment he first walked onto the grass at the sanctuary as remarkable.

“It was just amazing to see him walk out on grass and to see him explore and have that freedom of movement,” she said. “It was just such a reward and fulfilling to us.”

Now, he spends his days rolling around the grass in glee, Almrud said.

“He comes right up to the fence every time a staff member is present,” she said. “He seems very amenable to our presence.”

The tiger is eating well – a combination of chicken, humanely raised non-processed beef and whole prey complete with organs and bones. It appears that he was being fed chicken, which is what owners of exotic cats often feed them, but chicken alone does not provide the complete nutrition they need to thrive, Almrud said.

In addition, caregivers are tasked with keeping the tiger mentally stimulated by creating “pretend hunting” games and rotating him through different areas so he has access to new smells and environments to explore.

“He seems to happy and content,” Almrud said. “Our staff is just falling in love with him.”

Just an update! Since I got curious and the og post is from 2019.

His name is Loki now! In June he celebrated his 7th birthday at the sanctuary where he lives and thrives. Here’s a few pics of the boy:

"uh ohhhhhh!!!!" - a oyster when this happens ill bet

[bogleech]

It's just that theyll grow on anything solid and they have flotation bladders to keep them upright, like a lot of seaweed, so when they get big enough they can float away with whatever they're growing on, like small rocks or broken coral. But they got called oyster thiefs because you notice this phenomenon most if your livelihood depends on farming creatures that are also roughly similar to small rocks.

I LOVE THIS GUY.

All those "spend just 35 minutes doing a bunch of really hard exercises and you'll feel great forever!" videos are really discouraging. I usually end up doing like, 2 minutes of some of his while waiting for my shower to heat up, and ykw?

That's 2 minutes more than I would have done otherwise.

[nonbinary-octopus]

oh hey I have a thing like that last one that I like to do sometimes, but I do it lying down in bed. it's a very satisfying pop/shift in my hips/lower back, but doesn't always work. maybe I will try his version and see if it is more effective for me
