Are you being a good girl?

no I’m chewing on electrical cords

ACTUALLY acting silly is one of the greatest joys of life. if you see me in the street meowing back at cats I see and kicking snow piles down know that I am living my best life.

i'll say it !!! i'm tired of people tying having "high intelligence" and "being gifted" to neurodivergence. first of all intelligence is a construct and second of all what about us fools

the macking cheese post changed my life

Tonight I gave Art Spiegelman the National Book Awards Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters. And we're both being banned. Some of you may think this is a good thing because you don't like my books or you don't care for Maus. But I guarantee that there are books you love on the banned lists too. That's why libraries and librarians fight for their rights to have all the books on the shelves and for your rights to read them. And it's why I support them.

Phrases to make me see red

I feel like a lot of Duolingo discourse should acknowledge that the reason that they have basically every national European language on there is not because of a “European bias” but because of refugees. A huge number of refugees in Europe use it to learn the language of whatever country they’re moving to or living in; the site even talks about it in the “fun facts” on their waiting screen. Languages like Swedish and Norwegian aren’t there primarily for Minnesotans getting in touch with their heritage, but for African, Asian and Eastern European refugees in Sweden and Norway, and indeed they make up the majority of people using Duolingo to learn those languages. The app does need to add more non-European languages; it’s gradually doing this, as it recently added Zulu, Xhosa and Kreyòl, and its focus on indigenous languages like Navajo and Hawaiian is especially commendable. And yet there are still some pretty glaring omissions of major world languages from Asia and Africa that need to be addressed — and even “they’re edited by users” doesn’t cut it with how many people worldwide speak those whom they could seek out! But the fact that a free language app is doing its best to provide the language learning services that those actual countries routinely deny desperately-poor refugees is a good thing actually. Reserve your rage for the prioritizing of Esperanto, Klingon and High Valyrian over Bengali, Tagalog and Farsi.

omg so we have 1 seeing dog and 1 blind dog and whenever there's a toy they both want, the seeing dog takes it and just...stands very still. immobile. she KNOWS he will try to wrestle it from her but she has figured out that if she does not squeak it, then he will not find it. leading to this.

"god....grant me the strength to not squeak the squeaky toy"

I mean this in a very queer and feminist way when I say I love men. I love men who aren't afraid to define who they are for themselves, outside of gender norms. I love men who stand up for others who want to do the same. I love men who are secure in their masculinity. I love men who are committed to dealing with their emotions in a healthy manner. I love men of all shapes and sizes. Men are great.

I am extremely emotional about elephants on this morning

Listen I'm aware you all want a piece of this. I understand I'm a hot commodity here on tumblr dot com. But even setting aside wealth and immortality, my husband squeezes the absolute fattest ass you've ever seen through literally billions of chimney flues every December 25th. And every other night of the year, he's with me. And somehow you hoes think you can teach me a trick I haven't seen before? Dream on.

I hate being so angery im crying this shit sux

“I went to school for game design! I am highly qualified to talk about any game out there!”

I bet you don’t even know how big an 8 year old’s hands are.

i also think intelligence is way too glorified and its seen as like the pinnacle of human worth when traits like compassion and goodness factor way more into our actual decisions+interactions

Throwback to all these Jesus comics I drew in 2012…
