I’M LAUGHING SO HARD OH MY GOD

Self-defense? He’s 6 years old ffs…I can’t
More infuriating info:
The boy is autistic
The boy and his father were in a truck
The father stopped the vehicle and raised his arms to show he was unarmed
ONE OF THE ARRESTED OFFICERS WAS ACTIVELY STALKING THE FATHER’S FIANCE
They are trying to claim self defense AND claim they didn’t know there was a child in the truck
They fired “no less than 18 rounds” into the truck
The father was hit but still alive. The boy ended up being shot in the head multiple times.
There is bodycam footage of the incident and every official/lawyer that has seen and spoken on it has called it horrific.
the truest ADHD ally of our time was my professor who during a field exam handed me a newt and told me to hold it and I was like “what do you want me to do with this” thinking it was for the test and he shrugged and said “it’s just to keep ya busy”
one time in math class the kid next to me basically said that ppl with adhd wouldnt be able to pass the class because theyre idiots. i didnt want to get involved so i just kinda shrunk into my seat.
my teacher immidiately went to the students desk, looked him dead in the eyes and said “i have adhd.”
he then proceeded to very shortly lecture about how people with adhd are not idiots, and students with it will still be able to succeed in his class.
It’s ironic.
When I worked in fast food for minimum wage, they would yell at us and lecture us about “stealing” fries and burgers (while we had to throw out TONS of food every day) as though the giant billion-dollar corporations of McDonald’s and Sonic couldn’t afford to give their employees something to eat (while not even paying us a living wage).
Now I work at an upscale restaurant (it’s fancy, like celebrities eat there fairly often) and not only do I make WAY better money but they give us 2 free meals a day (eaten on the clock) and they’re GOOD. Today I got baked cod, spring rolls, rice pilaf, stir fry, and mashed potatoes and eggplant. Oh, and free espresso and juice. From this restaurant owned by a local man who is in no way a billionaire.
Obviously money is not the issue, valuing your employees as people is.
This needs all of the reblogs. All of them.
I worked in a little grandmom&pop Thai restaurant for a while. Even when the restaurant wasn’t bringing in great money, my boss (the grandpop), who was the chef, would make me a hot dinner every single night. If we were busy he would put it in a takeout box for me to take home. The first night I worked there, I wasn’t expecting it and he handed me a plate of chicken curry. I was embarrassed and said, “oh, I’m a vegetarian, you don’t have to make me dinner!” And then he went and made me vegetable curry.
“MONEY IS NOT THE ISSUE
VALUING YOUR EMPLOYEES AS PEOPLE IS.”
the thing about “well-behaved women rarely make history" is that the author, Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, didn’t write it about women who would be considered “badly-behaved;“ she wrote it in a book about a midwife, about women who had been largely ignored and erased from history because as a result of their “good behaviour.” So it’s not a “BAD GIRLS DO IT WELL" kind of quote; it’s a reminder to respect and pay attention to the women who go about quietly living their lives.

Periods are canceled for 2018. This year, I don’t want to bleed unless it’s from a wound I earned in honorable combat.
“Sir, I can has fish?? Thank you, kind Sir!”
Translation:
[weasel? comes up to a fisherman]
Fisherman: Friend, what do you want? [weasel sniffs at a closed bucket with fish] Hungry for some fish, aren’t you? Maybe I should give you a fishing pole? Eager beaver. Let me open it. [weasel is busy digging under the bucket. fisherman gently pokes it] Hey, there is a lid up here. Come on, pick any you want. [weasel grabs a fish and runs away] Hey, no “thank you”? Well, you’re welcome.

If you’re only sorry when you get caught…you’re not sorry, and you’ve already shown your true self because you thought no one was looking.
