I was going through the list of things you can and cannot bring on an airplane, according to TSA rules. Most of the things made sense, like no, you can not bring gasoline on the plane. But cookies? Totally fine! Antlers, I mean, sure, a little weird, but I don't see why not. But LOBSTERS.

By the way, this is for a CARRY-ON! On checked baggage, they are 100% allowed, no questions asked. Imagine you show up at the plane, and some guy is holding one of those guppy bags with a LIVE LOBSTER chilling it. Also, I love how it says, "A TSA officer will visually inspect your lobster at the checkpoint". What will they say, "Oh, your lobster looks a little green there, buster?" If this is not the most American thing I have ever seen, I don't know what is.

Not even! We're only retiring pennies!

I am a huge fan of retiring to my quarters

My artwork for pride this year, different flags with different Jewish symbols.

(The symbols and the flags were just chosen because they look cool)

Perry the platypus is canonically aroace (confirmed by the creator). He and Doofenshmirtz are the world's best bros.

I know this is probably old hat for this website but i saw people talking about perry the platapus dating and this could clearly never happen bc hes in a COMITTED and monogamous??? I think is the right word qpr with doofenshmirtz

The Jewish space laser is powered by Rabbi Shimon bar Yochi and Rabbi Eleazer's laser eyes. Spread the word.

Just a TW for transphobia and not believing children I think you're misreading their argument. Maybe I saw a different usage of this argument, but the way I've seen conservatives argue this is something like this: "Children have imaginations and pretend to be things they are not all the time. They are just using their imagination to say that they are the 'opposite sex'". They use this argument to say that just because a kid says that they are _____, doesn't mean that they are _____, because they're just playing pretend. Obviously, beyond having many logical holes, this is a HIGHLY invalidating argument, because everyone has some type of identity and idea of what is going on in their life from at even a young age. Conservatives use precisely the idea that pretend is a normal part of being a kid and that they will most likely forget about it very soon, to push their narrative. They say that it is forcing children into irreparable harm if they exhibit this normal childhood behavior (because OBVIOUSLY, the second a kid says they are a girl/boy/non-binary, we rush them to the operating table). Instead, they argue for parents to roll their eyes at their kids, let them say the strange things that kids say, and allow them to grow out of it. Perhaps the most famous example of this is the odious Matt Walsh's Johnny the Walrus, a propaganda piece pushing this very narrative.

If you want to see a far more articulate rebuttal of this monstrosity, watch Samantha Lux's video on it on Youtube. I think it's vitally important to properly understand transphobes' and bigots' arguments so that we can thoroughly debunk them.

conservatives have fully lost the plot its actually extremely normal for little kids to pretend to be animals. it's a pretty essential part of their mental development and helps them practice creative skills actually. if a kid comes up to you and says "I'm a kitty cat" you don't need to reality check them. it's fine actually. the correct response is to say "are you? have you caught any mice today? what kind of kitty cat? do you have orange stripes? should we have tuna salad for lunch?"

Aw shoot it's Tu Bishvat!? I completely forgot. I was wondering why we didn't do Tachanun.

Happy birthday, trees!

Bad example. If Queen Isabella was up to the standard of the time, she wouldn’t have started a genocide killing hundreds of thousands of people belonging to religious minorities.

This made my bad day a little brighter. Thanks.

This is ridiculous. If I wanted to see wanted posters for librarians I would just go to Florida.

Translation (According to Google Translate):

I am Jewish, because wherever suffering cries, the Jew cries. I am Jewish, because in all times when there is despair, the Jew hopes. I am Jewish, because the promise of Israel is the universal promise. I am Jewish, because, for Israel, Man is not created: men create him.

Je suis juif, parce qu'en tous lieux où pleure une souffrance, le juif pleure.

Je suis juif, parce qu’en tous temps où crie une désespérance, le juif espère.

Je suis juif, parce que la promesse d’Israël est la promesse universelle.

Je suis juif, parce que, pour Israël, l’Homme n’est pas créé: les hommes le créent.

(Israël = le peuple juif ici)

He's actually nicknamed Vlad the Impaler - because we would impale his political enemies and criminals, which he claimed was the only way to keep public order. Clearly this church is fighting the public order that Mr. Vlad dedicated his life to in his bloodthirsty rule of Wallachia.

Someone please let the volunteers at the Church of St Marys rest

It would be an interesting fan universe where Malfoy would join S.P.E.W. That would be very fun character development! /nbr /pos
