i havent shaved my legs in a really long time and while i was babysitting my skirt edged up a bit and the seven year old i was watching said “ew you should shave that hairs not supposed to be there” and i said “well if its not supposed to be there then why does it grow there?” and he was really silent for a long time and then finally said “lets watch sonic the hedgehog”

tumors grow, are they supposed to be there?
its called “evolution”, just because its there doesnt mean its useful or wanted.

Charities/organisations to avoid:
PETA: They’d rather spend their money on publicity campaigns than on the animals in their care. PETA killed 73.8% of the animals in their care in 2015 (x)
FCKH8: Is a for-profit company that exploits oppressed groups for money. They’re also wildly uninformed, and spread misogyny, cissexism and bi/panphobia, as well as stealing their posts/designs (x)
Autism Speaks: They spend most of their money on researching a way to eliminate autism, heighten the stigma against autism and don’t have a single autistic person on their board (x)
Please support other, better charities, and feel free to add any others you can think of to this.

A good way to know if a nonprofit you’re donating to is allocating their money in the right way is to check out their Charity Navigator rating: http://www.charitynavigator.org
Signal boosting, the bell ringers are out in force, and this info is too important.
Yeah, I got got by FCKH8 because I liked their teeshirt, my eighteen year old punk rock self from 1990s would have been disappointed and would have known better. Do better than me! Stay woke, kids.

I can’t add links because I’m on mobile, but Locks of Love is an organization that takes donations of hair to make wigs for people with hair loss (cancer, among other conditions resulting in hair loss). They charge the kids for their wigs. I would suggest going to Wigs for Kids, a smilie organization that doesn’t charge (though they are very picky about dyed hair).
#I know this is probably an exotic pet but this is too cute
had to dig through this persons facebook BUT this lady is a veterinarian who hand reared this guy when his mom rejected him as a kitten(due to being a neglected exotic pet), right now she’s slowly training him to handle being around other servals so he can move to a new home at the local zoo.
she contantly emphasizes that as adorable as this guy is she’s a professional caring for a rehab animal and that theyre not pets. no need 4 guilt yay
I am always appreciative of this kind of good background info so I can safely enjoy cute animals without inadvertently supporting exotic pet ownership. c:
My 6 month old kitten is so huge that I started suspecting she’s half lion. So I decided to test it.
A lot of people ask me what my biggest fear is, or what scares me most. And I know they expect an answer like heights, or closed spaces, or people dressed like animals, but how do I tell them that when I was 17 I took a class called Relationships For Life and I learned that most people fall out of love for the same reasons they fell in it. That their lover’s once endearing stubbornness has now become refusal to compromise and their one track mind is now immaturity and their bad habits that you once adored is now money down the drain. Their spontaneity becomes reckless and irresponsible and their feet up on your dash is no longer sexy, just another distraction in your busy life.
Nothing saddens and scares me like the thought that I can become ugly to someone who once thought all the stars were in my eyes.
this fucks me up every single time
I never expected this to be my most popular poem out of the hundreds I’ve written. I was extremely bitter and sad when I wrote this and I left out the most beautiful part of that class.
After my teacher introduced us to this theory, she asked us, “is love a feeling? Or is it a choice?” We were all a bunch of teenagers. Naturally we said it was a feeling. She said that if we clung to that belief, we’d never have a lasting relationship of any sort.
She made us interview a dozen adults who were or had been married and we asked them about their marriages and why it lasted or why it failed. At the end, I asked every single person if love was an emotion or a choice.
Everybody said that it was a choice. It was a conscious commitment. It was something you choose to make work every day with a person who has chosen the same thing. They all said that at one point in their marriage, the “feeling of love” had vanished or faded and they weren’t happy. They said feelings are always changing and you cannot build something that will last on such a shaky foundation.
The married ones said that when things were bad, they chose to open the communication, chose to identify what broke and how to fix it, and chose to recreate something worth falling in love with.
The divorced ones said they chose to walk away.
Ever since that class, since that project, I never looked at relationships the same way. I understood why arranged marriages were successful. I discovered the difference in feelings and commitments. I’ve never gone for the person who makes my heart flutter or my head spin. I’ve chosen the people who were committed to choosing me, dedicated to finding something to adore even on the ugliest days.
I no longer fear the day someone who swore I was their universe can no longer see the stars in my eyes as long as they still choose to look until they find them again.
This is so fucking important and I think it’s something I needed right now

While Watching Him Struggle With Depression
When you think of windows as a collection of shards,
you finally understand why pain and pane are homophones.
You will want to jump through one, like circus animals do
with flaming hoops.
You will want to check on him so often that your heart
will start saying checkmate whenever it worries about the possibility
of his own heart being captured by the darkness.
The only agony worse than the suffering
the spine undergoes at not being able to witness its own beauty
is watching the one person you love give up in the middle of a storm,
hands up in surrender,
after spending months riding the currents with clenched fists.
But sometimes standing miles away, high up safe on the observation deck,
is the only option available:
do not blame yourself for being able to keep your head above water
while he can’t help but drown.
It is neither of your faults.
You do the best you can
and sometimes your best
is the only thing you can do.
There is a reason the seasons change-
so the people that experience the weather unique to each one
will understand that nothing, not even the long cold nights, will last forever.
One day, for him, it will no longer be winter.
In fact, maybe on some days, you are his only glimpse of spring.
