Y’all creepy motherfuckers who tracked down the author of My Immortal down had better at least buy her books. Y’all owe her that much after hunting her down as if her life is a game to you.

here’s a link to a site where you can purchase her books.

Important side note she left on the Amazon page 

And please, don’t forget to sign the petition at lakotalaw.org! State-run foster care/adoption agencies kidnap 700+ Native American children from their families every year and let strangers adopt them–all for the money. Almost none of these children are being taken out of legitimately harmful homes. (Read: Removal was warranted in less than 3% of the cases.) Trust me, I only wish I were making this up. Native families have been fighting for the return of their children for years now, but if you add your voice to the outcry, the government can’t ignore us forever.

“he gave me bacon”

“i love bacon”

“i love him”

My mum always says “sometimes you don’t adopt a cat. sometimes a cat adopts you”

Sometimes?

congratulations on your new cat

Four successful Republican scams that have changed American politics in the last 40 years:

politicalprof:

1. That income tax cuts are good for poor, working and middle class people. (Compared to property tax and sales tax cuts, income tax cuts affect poor, working and middle class very little.)

2. That “they” – racial and ethnic minorities – benefit from social programs like welfare, housing subsidies, public transportation, and higher education, but “we” – white people – don’t. (Since there are LOTS more white people in America, even now, than “not white” people, simple math suggests most beneficiaries of social programs are white. And they are.)

3. That the “free market” can lead to the least expensive, highest quality solution to social and political problems. (Many social and political problems, after all, involve situations where no one has any money, so the “free market” has no reason to touch them.)

4. That the “free market” means that government must not intervene in the market, and must allow whatever the market determines to actually take place.(The “free market” requires government to pass laws, create courts, and run a stable banking system to make the market work smoothly.)

These four ideas have convinced millions of Americans to smile and wave as rich people rob them blind.

Ripley has a very good grasp of the word “touch” and we often use it as a command word to get him to try to be less afraid of new things or to ask his permission to pet him. He knows if we ask him to “touch” a person or object, he’ll be praised for gently tapping his beak against it. He also knows exactly what we mean when we ask him not to touch something,

Today I yelled at him for biting the wall and he did probably the pettiest thing I’ve ever seen him do: he went around touching stuff in the room and saying “no” and staring at me to make sure I was watching him do it.

If you asked me if this text were about a parrot or a member of the presidential cabinet I honestly wouldn’t be able to tell you which.

whenever you read those “10 things to know before getting this pet” things they’re so basic, just stuff about lifespan and diet and stuff, no one ever thinks to tell you “your rat is going to want to open your mouth and stick his head in” or “bearded dragons sometimes just swell their eyes to the size of ping pong balls’ or ‘chickens will try to eat your cat’

you know what, shout out to autistic people who can’t manage their emotions for shit

autistics who have meltdowns once or multiple times daily from emotional overload

“overly sensitive” autistics

autistics who try to control their response to things that upset them but can’t

autistics who are greatly upset by seemingly small things

autistics who get told that it’s “not a big deal” and that they’re “overreacting”

autistics who are mocked for being upset

you’re freaking wonderful and i hope that you have a good day with minimal upsetting events. you deserve to feel okay and your emotions are always valid and real, don’t let anybody try to tell you otherwise.

– “Overly sensitive” autistics who live with volatile behavior and stay overwhelmed a lot

– “Overly sensitive” autistics being actively destabilized by abusive behavior

– People whose “weird”, autistic-looking reactions get treated as the only problem there, and possibly abusive

– Very possibly including by professionals, leading to inappropriate/abusive treatment based on faulty premises

Just to add a few.

my type of public transportation 

“Why were you late in today?”

“Oh, I got tied up on the subway…”

I was always 50/50 on whether to reblog this but the last comment pushed it to like 95/5 in favor.

“What’s our stop?”

“You’ll get off when I tell you to.”

stop! making! plans! in! front! of! people! then! not! inviting! them!

Also stop making plans in front of people and then saying “and I guess you too” because that feels fucking worse than not being invited

fun story: last saturday before i went to work (the night shift, 5pm to 2am), some of my friends and i were planning a night out. the only day that worked for me was monday because i work every other day.

they decided maybe they would just go out that night instead, while i was at work, because there are more places open on saturdays than mondays. my friend said, “you dont really like going out anyway right? its okay if we go without you?”

i had to look her in the eye and remind her that the reason we were going out was because we were celebrating my birthday. they were gonna celebrate my birthday, without me.

I can’t even add a heart to this one, that’s just fucking terrible
