Members of Congress are living off food stamps for a week to protest Republican cuts. It’s a challenge for them, but GOP cuts would hurt millions of everyday Americans. 

Why does this not have more publicity. This needs it!

Signal boosting this A) because it deserves to be seen by more people, and b) because I appreciate some members of Congress are actually willing to see what it’s like living on food stamps in order to make their point about how horrifying cutting food stamps would be.

News flash, regressives: people on food stamps do not load up on Snickers bars and filet mignon. They’re limited in what they can buy, and oftentimes, it’s not enough to get by on. Go on thinking these are entitlements that let minorities live lives of luxury, comfortable in the knowledge that you’ll never go hungry.

You privileged, elitist pricks.

A message from Prince Harry at the CHIME for Change concert. (x)

REASONS WHY I LOVE HIM TO DEATH.

Ok but this guy is a saint.

We hear about all the partying and stuff but in 2008, one of the soldiers in his battalion was being threatened by 6 other soldiers from another outfit for being openly gay. The soldier escaped and went back to duty when Harry saw him and demanded to know what happened and then was like “Right well I’m going to sort this out” and full on stomped over to the guys and threw a fit at them and solved the problem and those guys never bothered the soldier again and he did it all without violence.

FOUR FOR YOU P. HARRY YOU GO P. HARRY.

what if we just created a fandom for a tv show that doesn’t exist and we build it up really big and make a ton of inside jokes until the internet just accepts it as a real show and it starts getting included in polls and gets it’s own imdb page and a group of outsiders go crazy trying to find dl links

ngl teen wolf fanon (not all of it though, but a lot of it) is way better than teen wolf canon and its both bothersome and to be expected.

Reverse gender stereotypes at the gym

Aaahhhh get on my dash you amusing thing you.

I kinda love it

this is actually great from an acting perspective.

the actors actually played the opposite gender instead of just relying on stereotypes (ironically enough) to portray that they were, in fact, the opposite gender. Usually if you tell a guy to act like a girl, he begins playing by the homosexual stereotype (faking a lisp, popping the hip, etc.) and while it accentuates femininity, it’s really uncomfortable and forced, making it just seem like he’s playing a stereotype instead of the actual gender. And girls will do this too; being told to play a male and instead just deepening the voice and say “dude” and “bro” a lot (although these are more common among modern practices).

The males played up femininity without coming off as a forced stereotype and the females played up masculinity and machismo without forcing their performance.

also the video is funny and I kind of forgot the point I was making.

DONT BE A LITTLE PENIS

ngl this is kind of how the gym i used to go to was like sometimes (sometimes. and obvs not to this extent). but i live in a SUPER QUEER neighborhood.

I choose to believe Young Justice is just on a really long hiatus.

right!? okay the teacher doesn’t seem like a bad person (she just has like 0 personality as of yet) but the scene she had with derek wasn’t even really romantic you know?

derek didn’t save her because of some fated love bullshit - he saved her because every single life matters. Because he doesn’t want to be his uncle. And letting Boyd and Cora rip him to shreds? That was a blatant response to what Peter told him in the woods. It not only emphasized his tendency to put himself on the line for others, but also Derek proving, once again, that he is his own alpha and will deal with his pack HIS way. (plus there’s probably a little guilt about Cora and the Hale fire in there too).

And that “romantic” look Derek gave teacher lady? That was him looking into the eyes of an innocent bystander and trying to give himself proof that he could be the hero. He didn’t need to leave it to Scott. Derek could be the hero too.

I am so fucking mad that they killed erica and now are trying to kill boyd and cora without a fucking second thought, I just omg I can’t do this

Why Finnish babies sleep in cardboard boxes

For 75 years, Finland’s expectant mothers have been given a box by the state. It’s like a starter kit of clothes, sheets and toys that can even be used as a bed. And some say it helped Finland achieve one of the world’s lowest infant mortality rates.

It’s a tradition that dates back to the 1930s and it’s designed to give all children in Finland, no matter what background they’re from, an equal start in life.

The maternity package - a gift from the government - is available to all expectant mothers.

It contains bodysuits, a sleeping bag, outdoor gear, bathing products for the baby, as well as nappies, bedding and a small mattress.

With the mattress in the bottom, the box becomes a baby’s first bed. Many children, from all social backgrounds, have their first naps within the safety of the box’s four cardboard walls.

Mothers have a choice between taking the box, or a cash grant, currently set at 140 euros, but 95% opt for the box as it’s worth much more.

The tradition dates back to 1938. To begin with, the scheme was only available to families on low incomes, but that changed in 1949.
