notice how they pause instead of all-out running? rat want grab-toss. they are playing a game! and pausing to make sure human has time to grab them and gently toss like the football!
my dad thinks the concept of shipping is hilarious. my parents are cool, they know about my online presence, it’s fine. dad doesn’t scroll my blog or anything, though–he’s usually too busy watching dubiously homoerotic pro wrestling clips or playing valheim–so his idea of shipping culture is bizarre
damn near every time I mention im working on a fic or piece of fanart, he gasps in hopeful anticipation and asks “tamatoa and heihei?!” and he always acts bitterly disappointed
no, dad. i’m not writing or drawing anything where a 50 foot crab and a literal chicken have any kind of relationship at all. you’ve been asking me to make this ship happen for almost nine years now and the answer has always been no. it’s a running gag, of course, but–why would you even think of that?! what kind of shit do you think happens on ao3?!
I have decided to make my dad’s vision a reality
behold
happy holidays. My dad is threatening to print this on a shirt
should i call my dad’s bluff and get this printed on a t shirt and give it to him for xmas
he immediately wore it in public to run errands btw. and gave his express permission for me to post that pic of him. in fact here’s the exact text exchange with my mom, lest anyone think im doing unsanctioned dadposting
The standoff with agents happened on Jan.8, one day after an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Good in south Minneapolis. Wooten’s refusal to comply with ICE was captured on video and posted to Facebook.
The agents tried everything to intimidate the guard.
“You can’t come back here, bro,” Wooten can be heard in the video saying to an agent wearing a mask and sunglasses. “I’m talking to your manager,” the agent said. Wooten responded: “No, you’re talking to security, I’m in charge.”
ICE left empty-handed. Wooten said he just stood his ground, “10 toes down.”
“I was doing my job like I’m supposed to,’’ Wooten said. “If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything. I just want to make my family safe because I’ve been here three years.”
Fun fact: if someone tells you that they’ve got misophonia and that they can’t stand a specific sound, and you start making that sound on purpose and won’t stop doing it before they forcibly physically stop you from doing it, you were the one who escalated the situation to violence.
Plus make sure to take breaks regularly - and stop if anything starts to hurt!
especially with gift knitting I know it can be tempting to push through it for a deadline, but it’s really not worth causing long term injury. (And anyone knit-worthy should be understanding of that, imho.) Stay well :)
Also good for artists drawing with pencils/on a tablet/with a pen!
“People from [insert country] are all inherently bad” NO. WRONG. VERY LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER FOLLOWED BY FLASHING LIGHTS AND AN AUTOMATED RECORDING OVER THE PA SYSTEM WHICH JUST SAYS “XENOPHOBIA IS A VIOLENT AND DEHUMANIZING TRAP THAT SOWS PARANOIA, DISTRUST, AND HATE AND COMPLETELY DESTROYS COMMUNITIES AND LIVES” OVER AND OVER
Claudette Colvin, whose 1955 arrest for refusing to give up her seat on a segregated Montgomery bus helped spark the modern civil rights movement, has died. She was 86.
Her death was announced Tuesday by the Claudette Colvin Legacy Foundation. Ashley D. Roseboro of the organization confirmed she died in Texas.
Colvin was arrested months before Rosa Parks gained international fame before refusing to give up her seat on a segregated bus.
