I am the ’70s child of a health nut. I wasn’t vaccinated. I was brought up on an incredibly healthy diet: no sugar till I was 1, breastfed for over a year, organic homegrown vegetables, raw milk, no MSG, no additives, no aspartame. My mother used homeopathy, aromatherapy, osteopathy; we took daily supplements of vitamin C, echinacea, cod liver oil.I had an outdoor lifestyle; I grew up next to a farm in England’s Lake District, walked everywhere, did sports and danced twice a week, drank plenty of water. I wasn’t even allowed pop; even my fresh juice was watered down to protect my teeth, and I would’ve killed for white, shop-bought bread in my lunchbox once in a while and biscuits instead of fruit, like all the other kids.We ate (organic local) meat maybe once or twice a week, and my mother and father cooked everything from scratch—I have yet to taste a Findus crispy pancake, and oven chips (“fries,” to Americans) were reserved for those nights when Mum and Dad had friends over and we got a “treat.”As healthy as my lifestyle seemed, I contracted measles, mumps, rubella, a type of viral meningitis, scarlatina, whooping cough, yearly tonsillitis, and chickenpox. In my 20s I got precancerous HPV and spent six months of my life wondering how I was going to tell my two children under the age of 7 that Mummy might have cancer before it was safely removed.So the anti-vaccine advocates’ fears of having the “natural immunity sterilized out of us” just doesn’t cut it for me. How could I, with my idyllic childhood and my amazing health food, get so freaking ill all the time? … My two vaccinated children, on the other hand, have rarely been ill, have had antibiotics maybe twice in their lives, if that. Not like their mum. I got many illnesses requiring treatment with antibiotics. I developed penicillin-resistant quinsy at age 21—you know, that old-fashioned disease that supposedly killed Queen Elizabeth I and that was almost wiped out through use of antibiotics.*

“If you think your child’s immune system is strong enough to fight off vaccine-preventable diseases, then it’s strong enough to fight off the tiny amounts of dead or weakened pathogens present in any of the vaccines.”

jesus, take this as a warning protect yourselves please. please vaccinate!

Hey! I’m tryin to walk here!wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwaaassssdddd

cw murder, antisemitism, homophobia

so a gay jewish college student was murdered by a literal white supremacist 

this is what “free speech” for nazis means. this is what being “tolerant” of the alt right means.

this is the danger of thinking antisemitism is not still a real, deadly threat.

his name was blaze bernstein. may his memory be a blessing.

(ok for everyone to rb, esp non jews)

No matter how nice a pedophile is has nothing to do with their character and morals. If you like lolicon you’re terrible it doesn’t matter if you’re “uwu soft” shut up

pedophiles are pedophiles no matter what, a lot try to adopt this friendly persona for exactly the shit you guys do on this site. “they couldnt hurt anyone” “but theyre so nice” 

thats the point. they gain your trust so as soon as they get accused of smth they have a group of ppl to cover their ass’ for them. i can almost promise you that if half the nasties on this site were edgy or not so fucking soft and “full of love” you’d no hesitation attack them. pedophile online and in real life act nice to gain trust especially of minors because younger children are more likely to trust someone who ‘loves’ them and is constantly being sweet and showering them in affection. 

pedophiles will always be pedophiles no matter how nice theyre disgusting humans that dont deserve any defense from anyone

Let this sink in: mass shootings are so common in America that they barely register as newsworthy, even when 16 students are shot in their own high school.

God theyre just so chumby

I got the border in my bag of goldfish and it’s creeping me out that I’ve never seen one before

my 2nd favorite cryptid 

look how much goldfish meat they are wasting all the time

don’t say it like that

anyway here’s the owner, @/gayretawd, of the (now deactivated) blog @/pussyaids that was @’ing people in images of extreme gore and sexually-explicit images. also this person is – surprise, surprise – a neo-nazi. like previously, you can report them to @staff via this link. block them, too.

again, you can reblog this – it’s encouraged.
