I have severe ADHD and I had to go through my college’s disability coordinator, with a note from a doctor who knew about my condition and how it manifest, to get specific requests for accommodations from my professors. That’s how trigger warnings should be handled. Document your issue and have it taken care of on a…

I call him squoosh. He calls me squeesh. We imagine that a squoosh and a squeesh are two different kinds of sprite or forest-troll (the cute scandinavian kind) or something running around trying to exist and being dumbasses. idk man

jesus is my waifu

WHAT IS THIS FACIAL HAIR

Which makes perfect sense because Jenna Marbles is also obviously a high school bully who never grew up #sorrynotsorry #whyarereasonablepeople #fansofhers #idontgetit

“I work at a tree museum and occasionally our arborists or naturalists will come back from a “living museum” conference with absolute bragging rights that s/he got to sit with “XYZ zoologist.” Just... our guys think your guys are fucking rocks stars, is what I am saying.”

I have a really close relationship with the national zoo in DC (my mother used to teach preschool classes there, I took a field drawing class there for years in middle school, I was there when I found out my little brother was being born... memories :) but I digress) and what I’ve heard from the national zoo peeps is…

Okay so one commentor said that her book makes her seem like an asshole, which is a valid criticism. But I really really really don’t see the problem with her re-enacting the best bits of a wealthy Victorian lifestyle while taking advantage of modern medicine and feminism and shit? We have that option. We have…

Christina Gutierrez always struck me as an overlooked detail in the podcast and its following, but one just as weird as JAY JAY JAY WHATABOUTJAY. I mean, suddenly demanding large payments from the Syed family in cash, declaring mistrial when it was looking like she’d won, and then completely blowing the second trial.…

THIS IS A WILDLY INAPPROPRIATE COMMENT THAT I AM AGREEING WITH RIGHT NOW

I’m going to be completely, un-likeably honest here. I dislike abortion and wish it never happened. However, I am also a reasonable person and know that the so-called pro life movement has zero plans for addressing any welfare for the child or mother after birth, or for addressing any other reason why abortion happens…

Andrew Jackson.

I think it depends on the preferences of the individual trans person. Caitlyn Jenner seems to think of herself as being called “Bruce” pre-transition and kind of refers to “Bruce Jenner” as a character of his own, I guess to get across the very very different way of living and being a person she experienced before she…

Thank you!

OMG NEED SOURCE FOR THIS SO I CAN TALK ABOUT IT ALL THE TIME

See I remember thinking this in high school and middle school, and yet my social circle was always and still is a good 75% male. Then again my gender identity and gender presentation are also... wobbly... which is probably a factor.

I literally do not understand why weren’t not working night and day on the technology to gestate a baby outside the body. It would solve so many personal and societal issues all at once and we’re just not on that shit?

My 17 y/o brother just announced that he intends to take his wife’s name when he eventually marries because the world is too sexist in general and he wants to help even the odds. My dad is really fucking ticked off with him about it.

I still don’t understand why it can’t be both/all of the above. I refuse to believe it’s not at least a relevant detail that the guy thought she was possessed. IMO it’s about how patriarchy in religion and ignorance of mental health and violent misogyny all came together in a horrible intersectional clusterfuck to…

The only thing I could kind of understand is what someone mentioned upthread — that maybe the grill marks kid had a sensory integration problem. BUT! Even then, it only makes me feel sorry for the kid, not his idiot dad. If I were a parent in that situation I’d carefully explain out of earshot of the kid something…
