There is a white supremacist rally scheduled in Washington DC during Otakon.
It’s on Saturday & Sunday , just a few blocks from the con center.
I am concerned for the safety of all the innocent people who are just trying to enjoy a nice weekend and who may face aggression and violence because of these people. It’s being organized by the same people who organized the rally last year that caused the death of Heather Heyer.
The entire idea of ‘White Civil Rights’ is a fallacy. White people have never had their civil rights in jeopardy as a result of being white. The concept of whiteness was created purely to dehumanize people of color, deprive POC of their rights, and bring about economic gain and privilege for the benefit of white people.
There is no room for racism in my community. We must protect each other. By any means necessary.
able-bodied people don’t seem to realise the nuances of disability, they look at it as such a black and white issue when it’s really not. like, i don’t need a wheelchair in the sense that i can’t physically use my legs and i don’t need a walking stick in the sense that i would fall over without one. but i do need a wheelchair in the sense that it could make the difference between my being bed-bound for a day and being bed-bound for a week and i do need a walking stick in the sense that using one today might enable me to do more tomorrow. disability and chronic illness aren’t black and white; using things out of necessity can mean a lot of different things for a lot of different people.
anyone who wants to say cannonically transitioned characters can’t exist in WoW is a fuckin loser
we have magic; who cares? my draenei is a passing trans woman regardless of the sexual dimorphism causing the men to be fuckin beefcakes and the women to look soft and fragile like porcelain. she drank alchemical potions every day and transitioned over time. she got a wish from a naaru. a warlock put a “curse” on her. her mage buddy polymorphed her. this can happen a lot of ways who fuckin cares? our characters live in a world where people can drink a potion to turn into a bigass dragon and give their friends rides on their backs. anyone in this world can transition if they want to, and do it as “flawlessly” or as incremental, or as custom-built as they want their gender and appearance to be. idk why people are still arguing this.
reblog this post with a cool animal species lets make a wholesome thread
ok ill give a headstart:
i really like leopard seals
axolotls are p rad
I LOVE THOSE
potoos look like muppets and i ove tem
here’s a quokka it’s like someone decided to splice together a wallaby and a teddy bear they literally always look like a benevolent cartoon
i don’t think you can get more wholesome than that adorable lil seed-eating smiley face. they’re not even like dolphins, cute on the outside and evil on the inside. they’re herbivores about the size of a cat. there is nothing wrong with them.
The Springhaas, or “irl pikachu” as it is sometimes known, is basically a rat shaped like a bunny abruptly caught in the middle of trying to evolve into a kangaroo. This is why they tend to look startled.
This is a dik dik. They are tiny antelopes from southern and eastern Africa–seriously so smol. With teeny hooves and teeny horns and big soulful eyes. And the name is fun to say. It comes from the alarm call that the females make. They live together in monogamous pairs.
Long Eared Jerboa
The adorable mash-up of a hamster, bunny, and kangaroo. Whiskers with no end, ears that put a fennec to shame, and adorability beyond measure!
bringing this back on your dashes
a sichuan takin bull and his daughter
often the color of donald trump’s hair and looking like a cross between a bison and a guinea pig, the takin is actually a bloody big goat-antelope. they have splendid noses, a natural smile, and share their habitat with pandas. which should be good enough for anyone.
This is an okapi. They are related to giraffe, can lick their own eyeballs and kind of always look like you just asked them for a ride to the airport but look at those ears and the little striped legs ~(*^*)~
Chambered nautilus! A living fossil! I also love axolotl though.
A cinnamon bear! Actually a member of the black bear family, they’re one of the more calm species out there. We also have matching hair ❤ Enjoy this one with a heart on its chest!
Capybaras! They’re the largest cavy species,(cavies are animals like guinea pigs) They’re BASICALLY a giant golden retriever in the skin of guinea pig.
They’re just big lumps that float around the sea. They’re non-aggressive, non-territorial herbivores that spend most of their time sleeping or eating, or they might be socializing with other manatees or investigating interesting objects.
Best of all, as of this year they are no longer endangered!!
Maine coons!! So soft and friendly!!!
Look at these babies!!!
Majestic af!!!
Because, why mow the lawn when you have ponies!
Sand Cats! Even the adults look like regular kittens, and the kittens are weapons-grade cute :3
Viscachas look like rabbits with longer tails, but they’re actually related to chinchillas. Also they have a tendency to look like meditating monks when they sunbath.
chinese water deer!
look at them there dorky fangs
A pleasantly round birb I saw at work the other day.
no pangolins? They is ooo cute.
Epaulette sharks are small, cute, and are named for their lovely shoulder decorations! Instead of swimming, they oftentimes use their fins to walk along the ocean floor. I love them.
And another small shark that walks, the cloudy catshark:
Quality snoot!
I always reblog this with red river hogs because zomg cute! And they will come up to see you at zoos if you are quiet, softly grunting “whuff whuff” as they do.
Horseshoe crabs!!! My babies.
Colobopsis ants! Their major workers have big heads to close the nest entrances. I mean, just look at their weird noses, they look like tiny adorable pigs!
Wallcreepers !! Pretttty Wings !!!
Is it a raccoon? is it a dog? It’s actually neither – it’s its own species; the raccoon dog or tanuki (yes, that thing that Mario dresses up as) and I freaking love them!! They’re so fluffy!
Who likes miniature kangaroos (wallabies)? Because I do
we talk a lot about how cis lesbians dont wanna date trans girls but why dont we unpack how yall cis gays wouldnt even be caught in a mile radius near a trans dude
lets revisit this ladies
yes, let’s talk about this because i’m sick of cis gay dudes asking my boyfriend if he minds or say he’s only okay with it cause he’s bi. i’m sick of them saying shit like “i’d never be able to do that to myself” and “even if he’s a boy he has, you know…girl parts…” or whatever. not to mention the amount of gay dudes who hit on me when i was passing only to find out i’m trans and laugh it off like they were joking or, worse, react with utter disgust. cis gays are just as capable of being transphobic as cis lesbians and the fact that people are only calling out women is kind of telling. a lot of gay men won’t even entertain the possibility of dating a trans man and their “reasons” are just excuses wrapped up in transphobia and, at times, misogyny. the community gives cis gay men a lot of free passes for their bigotry and i’m sick of it. we should really talk about this.
