We will be weeds of joy

I refuse to bow down to melancholy and pessismism. I will fight for joy till my dying breath.

this-tragic-affair:

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.

Susan G. Komen for the Cure: CEO makes insane amounts of money, they deny a lot of requests for wigs/help with treatment/etc., and have attempted to sue other charities that use the color pink as part of their anti-breast cancer campaign. ( x x x )

The Salvation Army: They promote the hatred of LGBT+ people, work with fundamentalist Christian groups to support conservative politics and rip off and exploit workers. ( x x x )

Wounded Warrior: They take money that should be spent on veterans and blow it on huge opulent parties for the company bigwigs. 26 million in 2014 alone wasted! ( x x x )

^ Important reminder to NOT waste any money donating to these groups

Reblogging because of the added info about Wounded Warrior.

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.

TIL a man in Nebraska is breeding red cows and sending them to Israel in hopes of a pure red heifer being born there; such an event will allegedly prompt Jews to build a Third Temple, which fundamentalist Christians believe will usher in Jesus’ Second Coming.

You did it. You crazy son of a bitch you did it.

Neat.

When you get sick of the world not ending so you decide to take matters into your own hands.

the other night i tried to make a curry and i got chilli burns all over my face, so i thought to myself ‘hang on, doesn’t milk soothe chilli burns? it does’ and i couldn’t google because i couldn’t see so i just had to blindly feel my way to the fridge and pour out a bowl of milk, and then plant my face in the bowl of milk, anyway at that point the rice cooker went off and triggered a power surge which turned my electricity off, which i didn’t notice at first because i had my face in a bowl of milk and when i did emerge from the dairy prison i thought i had gone blind with chilli burns. so no i don’t really cook much.

Anonymous asked: Have you told the Libra coyote story yet? I... is there a story? I just feel like there has to be

vampireapologist:

It’s not as dramatic as it sounds. I was driving through Dayton one winter night at around 1 AM and I was down by UD campus when I saw a German shepherd plodding along in the snow and I thought oh no! A dog out alone in the snow! It was one of those totally silent nights after a snowfall,  so I stopped my car in the empty intersection and started calling it over to my car. It stopped for a minute and considered me and then came padding my way and I tossed the door open like c’mon buddy. We’ll getcha somewhere warm.

And then it got closer and underneath a streetlight and I realized it was decidedly Not A German Shepherd so I pulled my door shut again but by then it was right by my car and it stopped and stared at me and I stared at it and at this point I was looking very Stupid.

You see this coyote knew it was a coyote, and it knew I was a human. All along it knew what was what and there I was with pie all over my face.

I rolled down my window and I said “sorry……I can’t let you in.”

It walked back off into the night, probably to make fun of me somewhere.

americans think ABSOLUTELY NOTHIN of driving 7 hours. they’ll drive 7 hours just for dinner. they’ll drive 7 hours just for chips and dip

My friend in the UK told me that they only see their father like 2-3 times a year because they live so far away. When I asked how far do they live, they said that it’s a 45 minute drive……. my commute to work, five days a week is an hour.
