Makeover !!

I am so very serious when I say that minors should have a legal and easily reinforceable right to say "I don't want to live with my parents (or other adult caretakers)/I don't want to be around that person/I don't want to go to that place" and actually get their wish accommodated. So much childhood trauma could be avoided or ended if children actually had the right to leave the situation or the person hurting them.

sometimes you reblog something because you personally want it on your blog. and some other times you reblog something as if you were scattering bird feed on ur porch and hiding behind the window to look out for the beautiful bird (beloved mutual) who will no doubt come peck at it

[ID: "Cold weather reminder. Do NOT plug space heaters into power strips or extension cords. Plug space heaters directly into the wall outlet. Power strips are not designed to handle the high current flow required by a space heater and can overheat causing a fire."

A photo is attached of a power strip with an extremely charred end. Part of the power strip's wire is also charred. End ID]

My husband, an electrician, told me I have to reblog this.

For clarification's sake, is this true everywhere? I ask because I know that different countries have different quality home electricity provision; American home electricity Ain't Great compared with most of Europe, for example. In Wales I have never heard of this being a Thing, but our electricity comes in 240V flavour, so possibly the higher current naturally avoids this issue?

My British husband (not an electrician but electrician-adjacent) says yes this is true in the UK as well - anything that uses a lot of power should be plugged directly into the wall rather than an extension lead

Good to know, thank you!

*gets up to replug space heater*

my boyfriend would like you all to know that despite being named Fantasy Ruby Red, monster's grapefruit energy drink tastes... Bisexual.

they specifically told me “you can go on tumblr and post about it. tell them i said that it tastes bisexual. there's no other way to describe it,” and refused to elaborate when i asked what that even meant

well how can i refuse if it came straight from an orc

This is so fucking embarrassing. This is one of the most embarrassing business quips I have ever seen in my entire vile career.

coat bath

The main foyer is in the middle of everything and also has an unnecessary wall. There are two bathtubs in "Mudroom & Laundry coat closet". The free-floating tables in the middle of a massive room where everything else is at the sides. 8 tiled rooms I hesitate to call bathrooms because one of them is just a room with a sink in it next to a room with THREE sinks in it. Bedroom 2 doesn't get a bed.

I need to see this in the sims

”This portrayal of a marginalized group was wrong then and is wrong now” and “This portrayal of a marginalized group was very progressive for the time period and paved the way for more representation while likely limited by factors outside of the creator’s control” are two statements that can and should ABSOLUTELY coexist and be kept in mind when interacting with older media

You forgot it's third sibling "This portrayal, though problematic, means a LOT to the members of the marginalized group it portrays who first saw it come out and they will continue to feel and express that affection for it, it doesn't mean they endorse the bad shit."

For one minute… just one minute.

Close the game. Pause the movie. Mute the music. Forget the match. Sit with yourself and ask: If you were in our place… would you deserve to die? Would your children deserve this life?

We are here, in a place unseen by the world’s eyes, Living among rubble and tears,Between the sound of explosions and the cries of children.Our children do not know the meaning of play or safety, They only dream of a day they will not wake up to new terror.

We are human, like all humans, We have the right to live, to safety, to hope. Every donation, every word of support, every share…Is a message to us: You are not alone.

Four children, a father and a mother, are asking for your support. Can you donate even $5? And if you can’t, just share this post. It won’t hurt you to share, But losing your humanity… that will hurt you deeply.

Today in Gaza, 18 were killed, and no one heard about us. I went out to buy some food, and an explosion happened near my home. We see death and fear every day, and the war here has not stopped.💔

Every day there is bombing... every day there is killing... we are dying in silence... Please wake up. Please... share this, please... donate, please.

Please donate or share

Don’t let our silence hide our pain. Share our voice, for with your silence, we disappear.

Please pay attention to my friend Mohammed and read his words. Donate and share to help his family.

If you can’t donate, just reblog. It takes one second.

You can make a change! Even a little helps. This fundraiser is verfied ✅️

"public schooling in america is by and large not designed for ideal learning and has a lot of fucked up incentives and structures that encourage mistreatment of children" ✅

"it would be preferable to have no structure or standardization and just go by vibes" ❌

"education itself is the problem, knowledge is fake, math and writing are unimportant, and ignorance is wisdom" ❌❌❌

my favorite part of the week is when we watch a guy turn chocolate into a fucking bike and we have to just accept that it happened.

AND THE HE SAT ON IT LIKE IT WAS A NORMAL BIKE

the weed dispensaries should ask if you would like to round up your purchase to donate to PBS. and if you say yes you get to scan a QR code that gives you 30-day free access to the full run of antiques roadshow. this is how drugs can win the war on drugs again.

IMPORTANT PSA! If you contribute to PBS or any local public broadcasting subsidiary at $5/mo ($60/yr) or above, you gain access to PBS Passport, which has a tremendous library of public broadcast programs available…including the full run of antiques roadshow

I thought Tumblr would celebrate Dick Cheney's death more. I was a teenager during the Bush administration and MAN those were some horrifying years.

RIP to every Afghan (46,319) and Iraqi (210,296) civilians who were murdered in the Global War on Terror.

Rest in Piss, Dick Cheney. I can only imagine demons are doing to you now what US soldiers did to Iraqi civilians in Abu Ghraib.
