Women scientists made up 25% of the Pluto fly-by New Horizon team. Make sure you share this, because erasing women’s achievements in science and history is a tradition. Happens every day.

Excuse me, why the fuck isn’t this an MMORPG I’d play the shit outta this.

“The first Pride was a riot.”

On June 20th, 2017, Maxine the white rhino was shot and killed while she slept. Maxine was a resident of Natal Lion Park (also known as Natal Zoological Gardens), a zoo in South Africa. This is the second case this year of a zoo rhino being killed by poachers only for its horn to be stripped away. Vets on site say that Maxine died from a bullet to the head before her horn was removed. Maxine was an orphaned rhino that was hand raised by zoo staff. She was 11 years old. 

Please everyone–please pray for this child’s safety and for her return to be safe 🙏🏻

Commission for @cryptid-wendigo. Their mother wanted a tattoo design, and I did a bunch of different designs for the shell.  Be sure to show me when your ma’ gets her tattoo!

If you like what you see consider commissioning me? Or supporting my patreon. It’d help me out. Right now art is my only means of income.

Help support this amazing artist! Look at all the options my mom gets to choose from!! You were so nice to have done so many options!!

reblog if you’re gay because of ghosts

the best part of this image is that the website it’s from is dead fucking serious

I found the page and it’s better than I could have even imagined.  apparently lesbians are possessed by male ghosts that cause attracted to women and gay men have female ghosts.  Also this line: 

“Spiritual research has shown that the cause for homosexual preferences lie predominantly in the spiritual realm.”

Part of me wishes it did have a citation 

WAIT FUCK THERE”S MORE

Reblog if your homosexuality was a slippery slope to your interest in murder 

@bechdels……………

Wait, best part about the percent tables above:

100 swear words = 1 murder

So this got better since the last time I saw it

I feel like this gives more merit to tagging pics of celebrity crushes “RIP me”

Please make this go viral.

It is so important I don’t even care if you delete what I write here, just help it be seen. 

Reblog.

Pass this on!

For people who are or have been suicidal, does this or things like this help? I’m genuinely asking. I want to reblog something that actually helps, not just something I think helps.

This genuinely helps. I was suicidal for a large portion of my life, so my therapist asked me every time we spoke to tell her one thing i liked, or that made me happy. It could be anything at all. It could be something i’d already said. It didnt matter. That really helped me slowly. She also made me say something positive for every negative. If i said something like ‘i just feel so stupid all the time,’ id have to say something i felt good about, like ‘i really like the colour red.’ I didnt think that my favourite colour would make such a difference, but really, when you slowly piece together a bunch of minuscule things, soon enough you have this list of 1000 things to live for. So yes, reblog the shit out of this. Because this type of thinking saves my life every day.

Ruby Bridges was the first black child to desegregate the all-white William Frantz Elementary School in Louisiana during the New Orleans school desegregation crisis in 1960.

This movie made me cry, I was so heart broken by how Ruby Bridges was treated! She was only 6, but was so strong. She is a very brave girl and she did not care what the white folks called her.

People are simply disgusting to minimize people by skin color!

Ruby you might not think you’re a hero… But to other people you are! You are A HERO and you are A PERSON WHO MADE AMERICA CHANGE!

this is white culture, this is their history, this is their legacy…being enraged at a damn baby just because she’s black.

she’s still alive by the way

Ruby Bridges in 2010 

“As Bridges describes it, “Driving up I could see the crowd, but living in New Orleans, I actually thought it was Mardi Gras. There was a large crowd of people outside of the school. They were throwing things and shouting, and that sort of goes on in New Orleans at Mardi Gras.“ Former United States Deputy Marshal Charles Burks later recalled, “She showed a lot of courage. She never cried. She didn’t whimper. She just marched along like a little soldier, and we’re all very very proud of her.“ 

U.S. Marshals escorted Bridges to and from school

As soon as Bridges entered the school, white parents pulled their own children out; all the teachers refused to teach while a black child was enrolled. Only one person agreed to teach Ruby and that was Barbara Henry, from Boston, Massachusetts, and for over a year Henry taught her alone, “as if she were teaching a whole class.”

Every morning, as Bridges walked to school, one woman would threaten to poison her; because of this, the U.S. Marshals dispatched by President Eisenhower, who were overseeing her safety, allowed Ruby to eat only the food that she brought from home.

Another woman at the school put a black baby doll in a wooden coffin and protested with it outside the school, a sight that Bridges Hall has said “scared me more than the nasty things people screamed at us.” At her mother’s suggestion, Bridges began to pray on the way to school, which she found provided protection from the comments yelled at her on the daily walks.”

THIS SHIT WAS ONLY 58 YEARS AGO. PEOPLE WHO PARTICIPATED IN THIS RACIST TERRORISM AND ACTS LIKE IT ARE STILL ALIVE, AND THEIR KIDS ARE IN THEIR 40′S AND 50′S. 

DON’T LET RACISM APOLOGISTS GET AWAY WITH “WHY ARE YOU LIVING IN THE PAST,” BULLSHIT ARGUMENTS. WE ARE LITERALLY STILL DEALING WITH THE FAMILIES THAT FORMED HATE MOBS OVER BLACK CHILDREN ATTENDING SCHOOL WITH WHITE KIDS.

This was her then:

This is literally how she looks in 2017. 

She’s literally not even  old. 

White people this is who you are.

I know nobody Outside cares, but the State of Alaska is closing in 11 days.

If someone wanted to report on that other than panicked Alaskans, that would be great.

Every “non-essential” state employee is going to be laid off on July 1st.  HR is quietly telling people to file for unemployment now, because the Dept. of Labor will be shutdown along with everyone else.  No ferries.  No municipal airports.  No food, water, or livestock testing. 

All because the state senate won’t agree to an income tax.

The older I get, the more I prefer to eat the rich.
