utilizing an existing law that "bans the wearing of hoods while committing crimes."

that's funny to me because i used to work in a juvenile residential facility and we would often take shoes away and make them wear "safety sandals." the only ones who lost shoes were either prone to bolting or enjoyed kicking other clients/staff. no shoes because safety. they could earn their shoes back though- we…

they can delete her tumblr all they want, but a lot of us tumblr-ians took a lot of screenshots in preparation for an account deletion. we are not going to let her disappear.

oh man. i grew up in a lutheran church and something similar to this happened as well. they didn't necessarily make her apologize, but they did basically make her get married. it was so weird and rushed and she clearly was not into it. i remember her looking so sad.

its a grey area. parents can retain custody despite the status of being a runaway/kicked out. unless parents give it up custody or have it taken away then the parents can pull them back whenever they want. its shitty. but (god willing the officers/social workers involved have any sense) if the teen says they do not…

There should be a system for LGBTQ+ youth, but the legality of it would make it hard to pull off. If the kids are under 18, then their parents can do pretty much anything they want.

honestly, let's. i work for a non-profit organization that has housing for teens- but we talk all kinds, not just LGBTQ, though we have a few trans clients right now.
but there needs to be an organization for trans kids, they have different needs outside the basic ones. and they need safety and acceptance.
starting a…

donating money is all i can do at this point. i want to adopt a dog but i know that with my work schedule i just do not have the time to give the attention need to have a dog- with the walking and playing multiple times a day. and i would not want to leave it home alone for sooooo many hours. there's a wonderful group…

you're probably right though. she is likely a self-entitled person who just does whatever she wants. i mean, she stole a dog, cared for him FOR MONTHS, and then put him down because...unclear reasons. there is no clear motivation for any of her actions.
there was fucking news coverage and i also find it unlikely that…

i was thinking the same thing. unless she was functioning under some illusion that she was freeing the dog somehow. but it screams like she was getting some sort of revenge- an expensive one since in-home vet visits are not cheap.

...the fuck?!

my heart goes out to you. i know first hand just how important and helpful animals are when it comes to dealing with mental health issues. i have an anxiety disorder and my old cat was my lifeline too.
have you considered having any of them registered as therapy animals? its not absolutely necessary but sometimes…

this might vary state by state, but here any animal that is a registered therapy animal and is stolen comes with heavy penalties. if he had gotten it registered as a therapy animal she would be facing super heavy fines and jail time. he didn't need to get Thor registered, of course, but i know a lot of people who get…

wait. wait. waaaiiit. so she kidnapped his dog because she "wanted to do the right thing" but hasn't really gone into what that was? his tumor was non-life threatening - my brother's dog has a large tumor on her right shoulder and the doctor said its benign and not a health concern. this dog likely had a similar…

the woman's two children are aware that she's sick. They believe she's being cared for by nurses "until the angels appear."

agreed. no re-tweeting happening on my end. unfortunately it looks like they are still getting the attention they want. is their end game just retweets and attention? i just don't understand what they hoped to accomplish.

they are essentially giant toddlers screaming for attention at the dinner table. i will be re-tweeting nothing. eventually everything will be in working order and all the rest of us are going to remember is that time a group of big babies hacked gaming on christmas because no one was listening to their whining.
they…

i am still super mad about that Dr. V being outed thing. marry christmas all!

definitely not reading him now. Just...all of that is revolting.

everything is terrible forever and always.
