Uhm what is that it’s huge?

Issa sea tortoise, like the ones that can live to around 500 years old. They’re capable of getting quite large from what I gather.

A big boy!

I hope that boy has a Costco membership because that’s a lot of boy to feed

This is a loggerhead sea turtle and I love him.

[ or, toxic masculinity from the perspective of a trans guy ]

when i came out as trans my warm and loving family supported me

but they treated me differently

when i came out as trans my dad asked if he should start slapping me on the back and socking me in the arm instead of hugging me.

when i came out as trans my mom wanted to know if i would still got with her on fun trips to the mall to buy clothes and home decor items.

when i came out as trans my grandfather looked positively startled and overjoyed when i kissed his cheek and told him to drive safe.

when i came out as trans my grandmother asked if it was okay if she hugged me in public or if it would embarrass me.

when i came out as trans my dad told me that he had a lot to teach me— he said this because i told him i thought make up was fun.

when i came out as trans my aunt apologized for kissing me on the forehead.

when i came out as trans my uncle gave me a handshake rather than a hug.

when i came out as trans my cousins hesitated to hug me at the door.

when i came out as trans my family hesitated to show me the casual affection and platonic love they had previously felt free to give.

end toxic masculinity.

show your sons as much affection as you would show your daughters.

let your sons indulge in beauty when they want to and always support them.

do not think for one second that the societal expectation of masculinity is more important than the individual feelings and needs of someone you love.

Enrollment for 2018 Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) starts on November 1 and ends on December 15. The current administration has cut the funds to announce when people can enroll. Please reblog and #Resist

they have also scheduled some 12-hour “maintenance sessions” to occur on sundays during the enrollment period so be aware of those as well.

Also there’s one scheduled for the first night so be aware of that.

They’re basically doing everything in their power to make it as difficult as possible so young and healthy people don’t bother signing up in an effort to kill the program that way. Please don’t let that happen spread this around and sign up.

you know America is going thru some shit when a damn cruise ship company offers more help than the president

keep in mind puerto rico IS going through a humanitarian crisis, and the fact that recreational businesses and celebrities have pitched in more help than 45 is absolutely repulsive.

also, royal carribean is NOT the only cruise ship line that is helping Puerto Rico. Norwegian cruise line has donated $600,000 to help rebuild schools and the Carnival cruise line lended 11 ships to bring supplies to the carribean islands.…. as I mentioned, recreational businesses > the chief executive
