Asexuals were always part of pride and it really fucking shows when people think it's a recent term.
Although not going by the term "asexual" yet, asexuality was spoken about alongside homosexuality as far back as the 1890s. Asexual history is just as vital to queer history as any other term and I'm so tired of watching us being treated like a new thing
This image is so so fucking important to me

why do you and others like vaccines so much?
joshpeck answered:
not dying of preventable diseases is actually one of my favorite hobbies
Because smallpox used to kill about 30% of everyone who caught it. The successful vaccine program run by the world’s medical community means that no one will ever die of smallpox ever again.
Because rabies is 100% fatal without a vaccine. No one needs to die of rabies ever again. It is entirely preventable.
Because 1-2 in 1000 who get measles, die. Vaccines let us contain outbreaks or fully wipe them out. There is no specific treatment for the disease once you have it. Your immune system either wins or you die.
We like vaccines because vaccines save lives and raise our standard of living.
My mother, now in her 70s, talks about how her mother wept for joy when her children received the polio vaccine. Because she didn’t have to be afraid of polio anymore.
a refresher for young people who don't know this, btw: polio can cause a syndrome called post-polio syndrome that may set in many years after the initial infection and can disable you and make you need a mobility aid to walk for the rest of your life, as well as causing really bad chronic pain, and there is no treatment for it (nor is there any treatment for polio itself). this happens to 25-40% of all people who become infected.
amazingly, the polio vaccine is 99-100% effective at preventing the disease when the full 3-dose regimen is taken, and around 90% effective when only 2 doses are taken. Poliovirus has been nearly eradicated from the entire world thanks to mass vaccination, only persisting in the poorest parts of Pakistan and Afghanistan where medical care is often inadequate. The disease is on death's door if we can get enough funding and political willpower into eradication efforts in those areas; we could completely wipe it out within this generation if we had the funding and the resources to vaccinate every single Afghan and Pakistani child, and then no one would ever have to get polio again. However, if vaccination rates in the surrounding area and the world decline, that could allow it to spread again.
life becomes so beautiful when you start cooking rice in liquids other than water

Shocking to me that there's such a fandom for Breaking Bad here on this website, full of people who found the moral nuance of Steven Universe to be unmanageable.
Tumblr continues to entertain and amaze.
is this even funny i dont think its funny im not putting it in the tags
How has this comic made such a groundbreaking cultural impact without getting over 40k notes
the "came back wrong" trope except like... they didnt. like this mad scientists wife died, and so he studied necromancy, brought her back, and she came back and it all worked. like she came back exactly the same as she was before with literally no difference. but the scientist guy is like "oh no... what have i done.... shes Different now!!!! she came back Wrong!!!!" and shes just like. chilling. reading a book. cooking dinner. shes just so so normal but in the guys mind hes like "oh shes soooo weird" but shes just normal

NO its a JOKE and YOU DONT GET IT. ITS NOT THAT DEEP
While she was dead he put his memory of her on such a high pedestal that she could never live up to it alive
alternatively‚ she came back perfectly fine but he thinks she came back wrong‚ because the tragic reality is that he never actually knew his wife
im going INSANE thats MY POST.
It's your post but the journey to posting it changed it to such a degree that even its closest intimacies are now foreign to you. Sorry dude.
