I Could Finally Afford It!!!

Here’s the orbital period of our solar system’s 8 major planets (how long it takes each to travel around the sun). Their size is to scale and their speed is accurate relative to Earth’s. The repetition of each GIF is proportional to their orbital period. Mercury takes less than 3 months to zoom around Sol, Neptune takes nearly 165 years.  

Well, okay then.

Asexuals belong in LGBT+ spaces

Reblog if you agree

How about a 2? That way I can put a 0 behind it.

okay but I have to share these

Children’s birthday cards in Card Factory with two sexy boys and Thunderbirds 1, 2 and 3 on them.

Not all disabilities can be shown by a physical representation. I should know, because I have non-physical disabilities. If you have a non-physical disability, you should know about them.

George can be counted as having a disability cause he lost his ear, and Charlie with all the burns he has from his job working with Dragons, but we can count the non-physical ones as well.

Tonks had depression in Half-Blood Prince and Winky had it as well (and she could be classed as an alcoholic), Harry got paranoid and had panic attacks, Hermione was self-conscious about how she looked, and Neville was bullied along with Luna.

And if Neville’s parents (Frank and Alice) are, as you put it, ‘tragedy porn’, shouldn’t the same be classed for James and Lily?

The fandom call him Mad-Eye cause that’s what everybody calls him. Tonks and Molly both said it to his face in Order of the Phoenix, and he didn’t complain about it.

Lupin was killed to reinforce the fact about a child having no parents, and Moody was killed trying to protect Harry. They didn’t die in vain, or just because JKR wanted to kill them because they had a disability; they died to defeat evil.

And if you think you could write about disabilities better, you do it.

I know that this is just your opinion, but like I said, not all disabilities can be seen.

You know what I just realized?

J.K. Rowling only ever gave us two half-assed attempts at disability representation. Remus and Alastor. And I know that these are her two half-assed attempts at disability representation because she specifically brought them up in her article about her disability ‘representation’. The same article wherein she said that all Muggle disabilities would be corrected. (And the salt just keeps coming.)

So she fully admits that she gave us two characters in the entire series that were supposed to represent disabilities.

And they were weak representations.

But it doesn’t matter.

Weak or strong

She killed them anyway.

Love is never wrong! 

Petition to have Tumblr actually do something about porn blog bots following users.

• It’s annoying. • It gives an imperfect metric for how many followers you have. (I would estimate about 25% of my “followers” are porn blogs run by bots). • It makes pulling up your activity page iffy even if you use Tumblr strictly for SFW content. • It’s problematic for individuals who have struggled with sex and/or pornography addictions, especially since many of the blog names are not obviously porn names, causing you to preview the blog. • It exposes minors to illegal and harmful content.

And to many of us: • It’s disgusting. • it’s degrading to human beings, especially women. • It makes Tumblr a less classy, less reputable place.

Please share this if you agree this is a serious problem.
