What a breathtaking display

Special shaded commission for @pitablaise!

With the solar eclipse coming up this month, here’s some things to keep in mind

Do Not: Buy a strange looking plant from an old Chinese man running an exotic flower shop

Do: Invade the fire nation while they are at their weakest

This literally the only time to reblog this y'all

reblog with the weirdest thing you call your pet in the tags

i’m curious

they say that every name has a story

PETA

you guys remember when PETA stole people pets off their porches and euthanized them?

you guys remember how it came out that PETA kills about 90% of the animals it takes in, including healthy and adoptable puppies and kittens, stating “ We could become a no-kill shelter immediately. It means we wouldn’t do as much work”?

you guys remember when PETA advocated killing all pit bulls for the crime of being pit bulls?

you guys remember when PETA handed out these comics to children when there were no adults looking?

you guys remember when they made a porn site and then filled it with videos of animal abuse, and (also in that link) claimed cats should be vegetarian?

you guys remember when PETA lied about sheep shearing, got caught, and defended the lie as true even after they admitted the sheep in their picture wasn’t even real?

you guys remember when they tried to excuse their horrifying ways by claiming that the person who exposed them was manipulating the facts by taking them and putting them in the wrong context?

Because I remember. I remember everything. 

And I’m gonna make sure everyone else remembers too. 

Why would they kill pit bulls they’re sweeties

Because PETA does not care about animals. they do not care that these dogs live and breathe and feel and want love like every other dog. they do not care about the history of human/dog bonding and co-evolution, they do not care that dogs and human beings have relied on each other for millennia, they do not care that its cruel and morally repugnant to put down an animal just because you can, they do not care about animals. 

PETA cares about money and publicity, its a corporation run by a psychopath who is afraid of pitts as it states in the link: she was apparently bit by one, and now she hates them. 

PETA doesn’t give a rats ass about animals. They just want to kill and make money off of idiots who fall of their spiel.

Some celebs support them

ah c’mon, dear-tumb1r, I think you’re being a bit harsh. I mean, okay, PETA’s done some questionable things, but it’s not like they’ve also

-spread false information about milk causing autism based on outdated bullshit information

-used holocaust imagery to compare the meat industry to concentration camps (no pictures)

-used a young man’s brutal death as a way to say “yeah that’s awful but it happens to animals every day and nobody cares about that” (tw: no pictures but the way the guy died is described and it is really horrible)

-dressed up in KKK robes and protested outside of the Westminister Dog Show to protest breeding/pure bred dogs (tw: racism)

-offered to pay the water bill for literally the poorest neighborhood in Detroit if and only if they all went vegan for a month (tw: self-righteous shitheads)

-and they definitely didn’t have two of their workers accept perfectly healthy animals from an animal hospital, with the implication that they would give them good homes, clarify that these animals were all healthy and well-tempered, and then euthanized them all in the back of a kill-van before dumping their dead bodies behind a grocery store (tw: PICTURES OF DEAD ANIMALS, animal death)

-and they totally didn’t get off pretty much scot-free for it because PETA has loads of money and lawyers to defend themselves, which coincidentally might be why the Cerate family hasn’t seen justice for their kidnapped and murdered dog, Maya. (tw: animal death)

Nah. PETA’s not that bad.

(/the heaviest of all my fucking sarcasm, I am salty as a fucking winter road, lord do I fucking hate PETA)

Did you think i was fucking joking, PETA?

I will make sure everyone fucking remembers what you’ve done. 

Bringing it back, because it’s charity season and people need to know NOT to give charity to these fuckers.

Let bi boys date girls

Who isn’t letting them……

Gay boys who see me with a girl and say I shouldn’t be allowed in lgbt spaces because I’m actually really straight

Straight girls who see me as their “gay friend” or who say they don’t care about sexuality but wouldn’t date a boy who’s had sex with a boy

Straight people in general who say “isn’t he really just gay” or telling girls that I’m actually gay and faking it with them

Gay people who say that because I have the option of dating a girl I’m the same as the straight people who oppress our community

Gay people who say I’ll never understand oppression or what it’s like to “actually” be gay

So there’s quite a few people not letting them!!

Keep reblogging this post all the comments are people showing how much they hate bisexual people

Athena blessed her with the ability to protect herself and men beheaded her for it.

That’s actually a really intetesting intpretation of it I hadn’t thought of. Most people seem to think Athena turned Medusa into a gorgon as punishment for defiling her temple, but thinking that she did so to protect her from being abused again is interesting and I like it!

Athena’s hands were tied. Yes, she was a powerful Goddess, but she was very much a woman in a “boys club”, and the true offending party (don’t think for a moment that Athena blamed Medusa for being raped in the temple, Athena knows better) held all the cards. There was nothing that Athena could do to punish the true criminal, and she was expected to punish Medusa by everyone else. What’s a Goddess to do when she cannot punish those who need to be punished and is expected to punish not only the truly innocent party, but her most beloved follower? Use that incredible brain power she had to protect Medusa at all costs, and of course the men would see it as punishment, to be have her beauty stripped from her and sent to live in the shadows. Medusa should have been KILLED for supposedly defiling the temple, whether she truly did or not, but she was given the gift of life, and the ability to protect herself and her daughters (who she bore thanks to Poseidon). This is why Medusa’s image was used to signify woman’s shelters and safe houses.

Medusa means “guardian; protectress”, and she was.

“Scary Potter” series by Dylan Pierpont

At thirteen I met him online through Myspace

I know that to meet someone there isn’t the ideal place

Because people want to interact and see each other face to face

But I was in no rush to fall in love as if it were a race

So we met in person and instantly we became best friends

He was always the guy that would reach out for me until the earths ends

We met at thirteen years old and I know that’s too young

But happiness and laughter is what was brung

At fourteen we fell in love but we pushed that feeling away

At fourteen he brought me the nicest words to say

At fourteen he brought me a rose

And at fourteen I wrote him a love letter of prose

At fourteen he asked me to be his girlfriend

And I accepted because of all the nice things said

We talked on the phone like a couple should

And I told him my sorrows because I know he understood

To bring me happiness I know he could

And to always be there for me I know he would

But we decided we would be better off as friends

But deep down inside we knew our love would never end

At fifteen we were still best friends but we weren’t going out

Because that’s not what our relationship was about

Outside we had this platonic love for one another

But deep down inside we knew we were in love with each other

At fifteen I started seeing someone else

But being with him wasn’t the type of happiness I should’ve felt

Every time we’d try seeing someone else it didn’t feel right

So to each other we held on even more tight

At fifteen he gave me advice

At fifteen he tried to protect me from the world’s lies

He healed the wounds others brought

At fifteen I realized this was the type of love people sought

At fifteen I knew he was unique

And I realized there was no one else to seek

At sixteen he told me he was still in love with me throughout the years

And that losing me would be his biggest fear

We’d see other people but we knew we belonged together

But we didn’t stay because we were too young to be in a relationship that would last forever

At sixteen when he got his license he drove to see me and brought me a smile

And all I wanted was for that moment to last for awhile

At sixteen I’ve went through a lot of troubles in life

Be he looked passed them and said he’d think I’d make a great wife

I remember once he got me out of a bad situation

And he said he still loved me without hesitation

I told him I could never love anyone the way I do for him

Because his love is stuck in my heart to my limbs

At sixteen when I thought I was pregnant from a man who forced me

David said he’d claim the child as his and marry me

Pregnant is not what I turned out to be

He told me if I had been he would’ve continued loving me

At seventeen we never had sex and we never once kissed

But that doesn’t mean our feelings were dissed

Because our love was strong enough to not need intimacy

But at seventeen the world decided to take him away from me

Because at thirteen we fell in love but in the end he couldn’t stay

Because at seventeen my first love passed away

At seventeen I went to his funeral and I cried

At seventeen I had this feeling of emptiness that can’t be described

At seventeen I realized that the world had lied

At seventeen the roses have died

At eighteen the smile he brought faded into my deepest abyss

At eighteen I had my first kiss

At eighteen all I felt for others was emptiness

At eighteen I didn’t want to exist  

I’d call his cellphone just to pretend he was still alive

And every day happiness and laughter didn’t arrive

At nineteen the clouds started to fade

At nineteen sadness and joy made a trade

At nineteen even poetry couldn’t take away the pain

At nineteen a new love I have gained

At twenty I realized I could never rip away my love for you

Because ripping it away would be like ripping away the sky from blue

At twenty I realized that I had to move on in life

At twenty I realized one day I would be someone else’s wife

At twenty one I finally decided for the first time to visit his grave

At twenty one I realized our love couldn’t be saved

But he was enrooted into my veins

At twenty one the sky stopped the rain

At twenty one I picked up a pencil and I wrote you a letter of prose

At twenty one I wondered why you were the one life chose

At twenty one a poem for you to your grave I would bring

At twenty one the roses finally started to blossom that spring

At twenty two I’m still editing this poem

And at this very moment I’ve never felt so alone

Every day I miss you and wish your life I could save

Because at twenty two you buried my heart along with you in your grave

This has been the worst year that could be

I wish you were here to save me…

I’m twenty three now and can’t finish this poem for years

I guess it can’t be finished from the denial of you not being here

I haven’t visited your grave ever again

But I can never get you out of my head

It’s been six years since you passed away

It’s been ten years since I began to love you everyday

I bet you’d be proud of who I’ve become

Thank you for teaching me you were always the one

At twenty three I’m writing to you to ask for my heart

Since you buried it with you in your grave when life ripped us apart

I don’t ask for it back to fall in love with someone else

I just need my heart back so I can love myself

I will continue to edit this poem throughout the years

I will always continue to write because of you my dear

(This poem has been written throughout the course of 10 years and I don’t think it will ever be finished) - @vividvega
