February shouldn’t be 28 days, 29 on a leap year. 
Instead, we should take the 31st days off two months and give them to February, making it have 30 days for all years.
But wait, when’s the leap day, you ask? 
October 32nd, Halloween: Part II.

A kind person whose social justice vocabulary is outdated or inadequate for the concepts they’re trying to communicate is a better person than anyone who’d rip them down as a bigot for not keeping up with the euphemism treadmill. Morality is measured by how you treat people, not how well you’ve memorized a continuously evolving set of shibboleths.

given that covid was declared a pandemic in spring 2020, reblog and put in the tags how old you were then, what age you spent the entire year of in quarantine (may or may not be different than previous), and how old you are now

This happened on Oct. 5 and not one major news source covered it. This is the end goal of the anti-choice movement.

What makes the Great War so different from the Second World War is, for one, the lack of an identifiable “evil”. On the other side were no Nazis or fascist regimes that were accepted by the common soldier as a threat to democracy. Instead, there were conscripts, labourers, workers. And while propaganda tried to make them appear inhumane, WW1 soldiers were quick to find out that they were anything but. Unlike WW2, the Germans and their allies were not seen by the Entente conscripts as the armed hand of a dangerous regime, but as a bunch of half-soldiers thrown there by chance, a bit like them.
Neither side’s average soldier really knew what prompted the war to happen, and if they did, they did not care about it much on a personal level; territorial, colonial and economical disputes between governments were not the common lot of a country’s inhabitants, and while some did believe there had to be a stop to German militarism, or at least that they had to defend their country, there really wasn’t any feeling of good against evil, black and white quest for justice that would inspire a war against Nazism.
And finally, the culture shock. WW2 soldiers knew what to expect from machinery and war technology. WW1 soldiers did not. The Great War was a forced transition from the 19th century to the modern era, and no 1914 conscript ever imagined that they would have to face shrapnel, machineguns, tanks, combat gas, aviation and other modern inventions. This explains why the cases of shellshock were significantly higher than in WW2, aside from the fact PTSD was better known by the 1940s.

radio is kind of wild really, the first thing we did after discovering an ethereal field that permeates the universe is infuse it with music.

I feel like a lot of you forget that ableism and hate towards people with NPD is still a form of ableist bigotry. It’s still hurting people who have a personality disorder they did not choose, and it’s not somehow okay just because you decided that NPD is Bad Person Disorder™️

Instead of saying how people with personality disorders are "pure and perfect" or saying that we're "irredeemably evil", how about you do not attach moral judgements to our mental illnesses.
We are simply people. Please treat us as such.
