hi can we normalize the idea of choosing not to drink
For your head canon collection Do you know how little kittens wriggle their ears when suckling? Goblins kits do the exact same thing when nursing. They usually grow out of it as they age, but Riz never ended up doing so, and his ears still twitch to this day when he is sucks on something like a straw. He is completely unaware of this. (it doesn't happen when he drinks from a regular cup, which is why he never really realised, because before the Bad Kids came into his life, he didn't exactly go on a lot of ice cream and milkshake hangouts.) The Bad Kids have made a pact to *never* tell him, because they are worried that the moment he finds out, he will stop doing it.
Its part of the reason they'll treat him to his super fancy iced coffees sometimes, even if they're trying their best to cut back on his caffeine consumption.
He just looks so HAPPY drinking his sugar loaded, orc sized tripple shot monstrosity, ears wiggling the whole time and purring like a chainsaw.
Fig has SO many covertly filmed videos of him doing it too.
VACCINATE YA KIDS FFS
i’m SO TIRED of y’all not including muslim women and especially hijabis in your activism. i’m tired of always wondering how inclusive your inclusive feminism is. from now on if you’re not explicitly vocal about your support of muslim and hijabi women i don’t consider you an ally.

Nah dude, some police are genuinely trying to make the world a better place. They go through a lot of shit so that they can try and help people. I hate most of the shit police do. I don't like being told what to do either. But people are fucking killing cops. That's people killin people and it's fucked. You're the death of your own cause if you condone violence and murder ya dumb fuck. Black lives matter, let's protect them by not murdering good people and giving nazis any sort of argument.
Gonna break down this response as clearly as possible.
The origins of the police are evil.
It has been shown repeatedly that the police were formed to oppress the working class and (1, 2) and enforce white supremacy (1, 2, 3). In fact, the early U.S. police grew directly out of slavery.
The police aren’t the people you think they are.
The police don’t care about you – they don’t even have a constitutional duty to protect you. They’re allowed to take your property without your consent (the NYPD seizes so much property they can’t even log it in their computers). In fact, cops are more likely to steal your property than burglars are. They commit hundreds of crimes and human rights violations against people like you & me and get away with it because they cover for each other.
Cops tend to be unusually aggressive, authoritarian, and secretive (Greene & Heilbrun, 2011). They are more than twice as likely to commit domestic violence than the rest of the population, and (once again) they cover for each other when doing so. The police are on the side of neo-Nazis (1, 2). In fact, many times the police themselves are the neo-Nazis/klansmen (1, 2, 3). And even besides all this, cops do all kinds of other shady shit – for instance, undercover police are used to instigate fights during protests and rallies.
The police terrorize those of us who are marginalized.
The police disproportionately arrest Black people for drugs even though white people use drugs more often. They disproportionately pull Black people over for traffic stops. The police terrorize people with disabilities.They are viciously anti-indigenous – and always have been. Police terrorize sex workers. There are countless examples of police brutalizing homeless people (1, 2, 3). The police have a lengthy history of brutality against the LGBT community (1, 2). They terrorize women of color and get away with it (1, 2, 3). They kill massive numbers of people each year – and a disproportionate number of their victims are Black and native. On top of that, recent data suggests cops may kill up to twice as many people as we even thought they did. And while police love to defend themselves by saying they have the most dangerous job, that’s not even close to being true.
The police’s best kept secret: We don’t need them!
A world without the police is completely possible (1, 2, 3, 4). We have resources for resolving violence as communities without the need for state intervention (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 – as some examples). We as communities are better capable of resolving violence than the police are, because we don’t have the vested interest in the status quo that they have. Even if a few cops are well-intentioned here or there, it doesn’t change that the role of the police is to work against the vast majority of us in the interests of the (white) elite few.
Why are you so invested in the police when they are complicit in your dehumanization?
holy fucking shit people simulated the 302 neurons in a worm’s brain with software, put it in a Lego robot and it behaves like a worm

I’m actually in love
Paging @aintnomessnomo and @notmybesttry
As a society, we need to stop assuming that everyone enjoys drinking alcohol.
