Please help me get my dad back!

long-live-starkid-potter:
My dad was taken by Immigration and they could sent him back any day now! He won’t be able to come back for 10 years and he hasn’t done anything wrong. He’s been living here for 20 years, always paying taxes, and helped many families start lives in America. We need your help.

Guys
Go on youtube and listen to a shitton of pop songs
while watching this gif:
Good examples: Hips Don’t Lie, Fergalicious, Super Bass, London Bridge
Just do it
Mayhem - The Sound is a good one too.
I listened to Super Bass and I’m kind of sitting here staring in awe because it fits so perfectly.
i watched it all the way through...

Why Men Should Not be Pastors & Priests →
sexismandthecity:
10. A man’s place is in the army.
9. For men who have children, their duties might distract them from the responsibilities of being a parent.
8. Their physical build indicates that men are more suited to tasks such as chopping down trees and wrestling mountain lions. It would be “unnatural” for them to do other forms of work.
7. Man was created before woman. It is...

Oh My God.

I was just thinking about the whole thing about the meaning of God Tier titles.
I had a revelation.
If passive traits do things for others, and rogue/thief is “one who steals”.
Then Rogue of Heart is “One who steals hearts for others.”
TRANSLATION: Nepeta’s God Tier power is shipping.
YES. 8D

So, the only candidates I have heard about through tumblr are the most popular ones. Why has nobody been talking about this Fred Karger guy?
Just a few points on where he stands on the issues:
Pro-choice (Claification: He think’s it’s not the government’s business)
Pro Gay Rights (Actually, he is gay. So, yeah.)
Make HIV/AIDS research a priority in America

Nothing makes me feel like a responsible, mature adult like choking on water.

I’ve been doing this for how many years now? You’d think I’d get the hang of it, jeez.

Welcome and hello! I love new followers! 8D
Sadly (or not, depending), the post immediately preceding this one is fairly indicative of my frequently-blogged thoughts on the extraordinarily narrow subject that is my life. If you’d like, you can avoid them by tumblr-saving ‘mayra rambles’. Also, I tend to post a lot of things in one day (though that will slow down now that classes...

Of all the things I hold in extreme disdain right now within the confines of my side of my room, two have soared above all others and earned my evenly-divided, vehement disapproval.
1. Waking up to the sensation that ants are crawling all over you (even though they clearly are not, after several inspections). I’m beginning to suspect, with regards to the cupcakes sitting on my desk, that...

A Semester Approaches!
The long-awaited/dreaded SPRING SEMESTER begins tomorrow.
It is approximately ONE-THIRTY in the morning. Your ROOMMATE is currently engaged in the pursuit of A GOOD NIGHT’S REST. You should probably do the same, as you have THREE classes tomorrow, or to be more precise, LATER TODAY. Your first class, BIOLOGICAL PSYCHOLOGY, is at TEN in the morning.
What will you do?

nuestrahermana:
Chronic illness changes your life. In many ways it takes what you used to have and devours it. It is easy to have it consume everything you once knew, including your passion if you are not careful enough. You are thrown to rebuild a new life and at the same time being a person of color navigating the medical world can be devastating.
Who I am has changed but the core of my being...

This one, called theTranspacific Partnership Agreement (TPP), would cover trade in goods and services and also include a proposed chapter on intellectual property (IP). Countries...

I’ve read it before, but GOD, when the stepsisters start hacking away at their feet… EW
