a friendly reminder from your local korean blogger that “lunar new year” is inclusive of the many cultures who celebrate, and “chinese new year” should be used only if you’re referring to specifically chinese cultural practices of the new year. thank you!!!
This is why I don’t tell 99% people im bisexual
My face is having uncontrollable spasms. Great. It hurts really, really, really bad.
I think part of why I have trouble explaining pain to the doctor is when they ask about the pain scale I always think “Well, if someone threw me down a flight of stairs right now or punched me a few times, it would definitely hurt a lot more” so I end up saying a low number. I was reading an article that said that “10” is the most commonly reported number and that is baffling to me. When I woke up from surgery with an 8" incision in my body and I could hardly even speak, I was in the most horrific pain of my life but I said “6” because I thought “Well, if you hit me in the stomach, it would be worse.”
YouTube video with 10 million views where man exploits his autistic son so people donate money to a charity associated with Autism Speaks, which has no autistic board members and has recently partnered with Google to find what genes cause autism in order to ‘cure’ it (eugenics).
This video has 10 million views, is #10 on YouTube’s trending page, has already received $700k+ in donations, and has many popular Youtubers like MrBeast in the comments praising this man.
Aside from being associated with Autism Speaks, Next for Autism also supports ABA therapy and a member of their leadership, Alison Bush, worked for an ABA based center, First Leap, before joining Next for Autism.
Autism Behavioral Analysis forces children to suppress their symptoms of autism, such as forcing them to make eye contact, forcing them to stop stimming, and forcing them to deal with or ignore overstimulation, among other things. Nearly half of all ABA patients have PTSD and are more likely to experience it than people not exposed to ABA.
This is absolutely disgusting, as a father to an autistic boy, this man should know better than to support an organization that harms autistic children and is associated with one that wants to eradicate people like his son from existence, and is partnering with Jimmy Kimmel of all people, someone who has done blackface multiple times in the past. Great spokespeople for Autism, guys! (sarcastic)
Please spread this both by reblogging and sharing on other social media sites, and contact the people involved in the Color the Spectrum event to tell them that this is not OK.
Holy shit…. Never Again Action (the group who started #JewsAgainstICE) had an ICE detention truck drive through them while they were shutting down Wayne Detention Center in Rhode Island this evening (August 14th).
So I found this app called Scan Halal where you scan the bar code of your food and it tells you if its halal or not. It’s a free app too. Pass this on so others can see and worry a little less about their food/snack choices

we’ll never know which one!
GO 👏 THE 👏 FUCK 👏 OFF. Also, the American educational system is trash. I applaud this child’s parents for giving her a voice and standing up against bias authority.
I know there’s a lot going on in the world, but you probably haven’t heard about what’s happening in Australia.
we’re on fire.
approximately ¼ of australia’s population is in catastrophic fire danger. A catastrophic fire level means your only chance of surviving is leaving before it’s too late.
it’s Spring in Australia, and rainforests aren’t meant to be dry enough to burn, yet at the time of writing this (11/11/19) there are 71 active fires in NSW (43 out of control), and 51 active fires in Queensland - not including those that have already burned before now, and there are more in other states. Sydney is already rated “catastrophic”, the first time this rating has ever been used there since its creation in 2009. That’s right, we had to add yet another level of destructiveness, because “high”, “very high”, “severe”, and “extreme” were no longer adequate. To quote the Fire Danger Ratings, “for your survival, leaving early is the only option”. conditions tomorrow will be the worst they have been, and people are evacuating as we speak. the fire fighters are preparing as best they can.
This isn’t just about people losing their homes; people have died and will die, countless animals have already lost their lives and many more will still perish. our land, our lives, and our hope is up in flames and will soon be nothing but ash. the annual fire season has not even begun yet. this is only the beginning. my native land is burning, and there is nothing i can do to stop it.
the government refuses to acknowledge that we are in a climate crisis. the fires have never been this bad. we have been in severe drought for more than a year which has only contributed to the force of these fires. the Prime Minister Scott Morrison has done nothing but send his “thoughts and prayers”. He will not accept aid from other countries because he is too egotistical to admit that we need it. All the while the people of this land are suffering. Climate change needs radical human change to be combated. we are already seeing the results of years of indifference, and this is barely the beginning of something that will only get worse the longer government’s and big companies refuse to act to counteract climate change.
Our government has also cut funding to Fire and Rescue NSW by 35.4%, the Rural Fire Service by 75.2%, and QLD Rural Fire Service by 26.42%, resulting in closures of services; they don’t have the resources to cope. We are fighting a losing battle against the results of climate change. and this is only the beginning.
BELARUS NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT
Across the country they’re blocking Internet connections, protesters came out for a PEACEFUL protest to defend their voice and their right. People are tired of this dictator. Polling stations across the country publicly announced the results of voting to residents of these areas, and almost everywhere Svetlana is the winner. But officially, government representatives declare that 80% of the population SUPPORTS LUKASHENKO. This is not true. Our television and all media resources spread terrible and untrue information, calling the protesters bandits and accusing them of causing injuries to law enforcement officials. In fact, the police and all the armed forces last night used rubber bullets in all the cities of Belarus (this has never been used in the country before), water cannons, stun grenades, and so on. The President himself today brazenly lied and said that the police and others used rubber bullets only once. But according to unofficial data, more than 50 people are in hospitals with wounds, burns and other injuries.
Hey guys, I found this tweet from yesterday (June 3) and decided to post as an alert. They might decide to do it again in NYC and other places, so please, take care.
