occasionally the universe orders one of its many snipers to fire a warning shot at me. not to cause any (physical) harm, mind you. they’re just reminders that the universe hates me and could snuff out my puny little life anytime it wishes.
today that warning shot came in the form of my microwave burrito being completely empty. no filling. just tortilla.
how can you look at this and still believe the world is kind and just
Spotted Garden Eels are small fish that spend their lives in burrows, rarely leaving them. They feed by facing the water current and catching zooplankton that drifts past.
They were always the ones who wanted to go into nursing, or early childhood education lolol
And no wonder, with such great opportunities for power over people who can’t effectively fight back too well 😩

I’ve tried, at various times, to explain to people that when you grow up with a disability, the worst of the bullying comes from adults rather than other kids. Because it’s the adults (The teachers, doctors, therapists, etc..) who have the actual power to try and force you to conform to their idea of “normal.” When kids bully, they’re generally just picking up on stuff adults have (unintentionally, perhaps) taught them.
Im making a new thing, “Lazy Goth.” Its when you’re really into dark aesthetic and all of the sarcastic crap regular goths are into except you’re too goddamned tired to dress up properly so you just sort of act as goth as possible in your black sweatpants.
Some people threw white paint on it a few years back.
They want to be a victim so bad.
Fun Fact: That’s a statue of the fist which Joe Louis used to knock out Max Schmeling, Hitler’s favored heavyweight boxer in 1938. Schmeling won the 1st bout by knockout in round twelve, but Joe Louis came back in the follow-up match and laid him the fuck out in the 1st round.
Fun Fact: Schmeling was hated by the Nazis for losing to a black man and for having a Jewish manager, and he hated them right back, stating in 1975 that he was glad he’d lost the fight because the thought of the Nazis using him for propaganda purposes sickened him. He also personally saved the lives of two Jewish children and later became lifelong friends with Joe Louis.
So maybe don’t refer to him as “Hitler’s favored heavyweight boxer”…
Thank you for this additional info!
Reblogging this for the added facts and so people know that Schmeling wasn’t a Nazi or Nazi collaborator and was in fact a good man
Imagine hating Nazis so much that when you get beaten up your response is “Good, now they can’t use me as a role model.”
been watching livestreams of US news channels lately and
1) they have a LOT of commercial breaks
2) i didn’t realize that ads for medicine were actually like this
ppl keep reblogging this and asking “well what are the medicine ads like in your country” and like…there aren’t any? It’s literally illegal to advertise prescription medicine here?
All of America: God I wish that were me
So who’s gonna tell the Not America part of the world about our legal ads for class action lawsuits against drug companies.
