"School districts that don’t respect transgender and nonbinary students’ pronouns or force them to use restrooms that don’t align with their gender identity could be committing federal civil rights violations beginning this fall.
Today, the U.S. Department of Education announced the issuance of a final rule under Title IX to protect people in public schools from sex-based discrimination and harassment.

additional comment from the anon: this mostly applies to things like smut or nsfw art. I see a lot of blogs that are 18+ and I’ve always wondered if people actually listen to "minors dni (do not interact)" or if they just ignore them.

Commonly known as the deer tick, this species is a vector for several diseases, most notably Lyme disease. In most cases, the tick must be attached for at least 36 hours to transmit the disease.

Due to an ice store in January putting a tree on our roof, tearing off some gutters, damaging other gutters, the outdoor faucets exploding, and other damages, I had to open commissions three months early than planned. We had a $1000 insurance deductible that needed to be covered, and now it is thanks to your help!
I'm keeping commissions open until all slots are taken. They will be closed in June and all through the dry season. This is due to how incredibly hot my sewing room becomes. A window unit a/c isn't an option because of how extremely small the room is. Commissions will reopen probably at the end of September, then close in November.
Quilt commission prices start at $20 (pins and magnets) and come with the option of paying more than my listed price.
There are five slots available, and it's first come, first serve. I offer the option of paying 50% up front, with weekly and monthly installments thereafter. When the final payment is received, I'll ship you quilt. Contact me for the 50% option so I can either set up a custom listing OR an invoice and commission contract. The invoice is sent via PayPal, but you do not need a PayPal account to pay it.

If you have commissioned me or purchased an item from my shop, please leave a review here. I would also appreciate it if you would reblog this with the item(s) I've made, now in their Forever Home.
The fact that Hagrid keeps werewolf pups under his bed is so fucking hilarious like you mean to tell me he kidnapped a bunch of children and just... stuffed all of them under his bed. Without anyone in his dorm noticing. Or maybe they did, they were just too afraid to say anything about it
Guys I think we just found out the real reason he was expelled
To give slight credit:
A) Entirely possible the diary was lying to Harry when it said this had happened. A bit of a strange thing to lie about given the Acromantula thing had occurred/there was no need to make Hagrid look worse or guiltier but it is possible.
B) JKR probably hadn't figured out werewolves yet/what she wanted to do with them as Remus shows up book 3. As much as JKR claims to have thought of things 20 years in advance she has a bad habit of retconning/convincing us a thing that existed last book works totally different now. Could be werewolves were going to be more wolves and then... they... weren't...
But yes, canonically, Tom Riddle noticed and chewed him out for it, but he wasn't expelled until Myrtle died. Could be the other dorm mates were too terrified and... it's telling that no one questioned that it was Hagrid who killed this girl except for Albus Dumbledore. I imagine Hagrid got a lot of side-eyeing from kids who had known him in school when he became groundskeeper.
Gatsby should have just fucking married Nick and then been incredibly petty to Tom.
"Yes, well, you also married into the family"
"How does it feel to be second choice for absolutely everyone."
"At least people enjoy my personality"
Just being a little bitch to Tom because yes he might have loved Daisy, but goddamn I am CONVINCED the latter half of the book he just wanted to be an ass to Tom.
