pidges glasses get broken the first week of freshman year
lance broke them
he broke them because he tried to dive for a volleyball in pe class, hit it wrong, and ended up sending the ball flying at her face at 80mph. she also got a black eye. pidge thought it made her look badass
teacher: so today we’re gonna be using the chromebooks, so open them up and-
lance, opening his up and going to coolmathgames.com immediately: hey hunk you think i can reach level 69 of run 3 before class ends
he does it in 20 minutes and takes a selfie with his screen so he can brag about it on the schools snapchat story like the swaggy motherfucker he is
hunk is totally the teachers favorite and he doesnt even try
its so obvious too like when teachers yell at students to get off their phones hunk is sitting there, blatantly on his phone, and the teacher doesnt say a word
hunk and pidge broke all the vending machines in school because they tried to hotwire all of them into giving them free snacks and it. did not work. one caught on fire
their lunch spot is avoided by the whole school bc its all of them screaming at each other for 45 minutes straight

allura: OH, SO DO YOU THINK THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU
[all yelling]
shay, who was just going to ask if anyone wanted to come to the baking club meeting: ill- i think ill go now
one time keith was alone after school and he tried to climb up a staircase using only the railings and all he managed to do was half a pullup onto the top landing before falling flat on his back
whenever lance is late for class he naruto runs through the halls as fast as his twig legs can carry him
he flung his arms back so violently once that it pulled his arm muscle and was sore for days
also lance always downplays how smart he actually is
“aw shit i failed that test”
“whatd you get??”

pidge has a full gaming rig set up under her desk in half her classes
one time a teacher (haggar) wrongfully gave hunk a bad grade so he started stealing things off her desk every day

allura is the biggest overachiever. theres a new club u heard on the announcements? alluras the president of it and they havent even met yet. the knitting club and amnesty international and the art honors society are all meeting at the same time but alluras both the president of them all and there at every meeting. shes the leader for french honors society and spanish honors society and shes not even taking french or spanish, shes taking latin

The reason that people are concerned about vaccines causing autism is because they’re not thinking of the long-term. Here’s the truth: when you are choosing to not having your child vaccinated because you’re afraid of autism, you are actively choosing death over a neurodevelopmental disorder. Let me phrase that in another way – you are either picking autism or death. It doesn’t have to be the death of your child. It can be literally any child. And death is the worst case scenario. Autism is not the worst case scenario. Death is always and will constantly be the worst case scenario.
There are children who are too young to get vaccines. There are kids who have compromised immune systems that cannot get vaccines. Your child getting vaccinated prevents these illnesses from spreading and keeps those children safe. It’s called community immunity and it’s important to maintain that so people don’t die.
tl;dr - Stop being a selfish asshole and get your kids vaccinated. There are worse things in the world than autism.
And before anyone starts coming to my inbox screaming about how “I don’t know how bad autism can be”, I know. Not only do I have a neurodevelopmental disorder, but I also had a friend with a severely autistic brother that could not talk when he was fifteen. I know. And even after witnessing him and being through my own shit, I would still get my kids vaccinated because I want them, and other kids, to live.
WTF, people.
Why the fuck do you think that your fear of autism (ungrounded, btw), beats someone else’s RIGHT TO LIVE?!?!
You don’t want to vaccinate your kid. Goody gumdrops.
You expose your godchild - who’s too young to be vaccinated.
You expose your sister-in-law - who is going through chemo (because having cancer isn’t bad enough), and immunocompromised.
You expose everyone they come in contact with - BECAUSE MEASLES STAYS ACTIVE FOR UP TO TWO HOURS ON SURFACES AND IN THE AIR OF A SPACE.
Number of people killed by symptoms associated with autism diagnoses: 0.
Number of people killed by measles in 2015: 134,000
Number of people killed per annum before vaccination became widespread in 1980: 2,600,000 (paraphrased from WHO).
Measles is not harmless. Researchers noticed that after the measles vaccine came out, kids started dying less from other diseases as well. It turns out that measles suppresses your immune system for YEARS (and no, no amount of vitamin C or zinc is going to make up for that).
VACCINATE YOUR GODDAMN KIDS (And Yourself!) Sincerely- A pharmacist who has to deal with yearly people not getting their flu shots and then they endanger their babies.
It INFURIATES me that we’re still even having this discussion, you know?
VACCINATE YOUR FUCKING KIDS!!! ANYONE WHO IS NOT VACCINATED SHOULD BE QUARANTINED TO THEIR FUCKING HOUSES!!! PLAIN AND FUCKING SIMPLE! I DON’T CARE THAT DOCTORS DON’T MAKE HOUSE CALLS MUCH ANYMORE! NO ONE SHOULD RISK GETTING DISEASES THEY WOULDN’T OTHERWISE GET BECAUSE YOU REFUSE TO TAKE OF THE GODDAMN TINFOIL HAT!!! THE ONLY EXCEPTIONS ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE IMMUNOCOMPROMISED!
Anonymous asked: Islam and Feminism contradict each other. Sure there may be "Muslim Feminists", but the ideologies themselves do not "click". According to Islam, it is okay for a man to beat his wife if she disobeys him or Allah. Do you think that wife beating is, in any case or form, acceptable?
Quran (4:34) - “Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great.” Contemporary translations sometimes water down the word ‘beat’, but it is the same one used in verse 8:12and clearly means ‘to strike’.
Quran (38:44) - “And take in your hand a green branch and beat her with it, and do not break your oath…” Allah telling Job to beat his wife (Tafsir).
Sahih Bukhari (72:715) - A woman came to Muhammad and begged him to stop her husband from beating her. Her skin was bruised so badly that it is described as being “greener” than the green veil she was wearing. Muhammad did not admonish her husband, but instead ordered her to return to him and submit to his sexual desires.
Sahih Bukhari (72:715) - “Aisha said, ‘I have not seen any woman suffering as much as the believing women’” Muhammad’s own wife complained Muslim women were abused worse than other women.
Sahih Muslim (4:2127) - Muhammad struck his favorite wife, Aisha, in the chest one evening when she left the house without his permission. Aisha narrates, “He struck me on the chest which caused me pain.”
Sahih Muslim (9:3506) - Muhammad’s fathers-in-law (Abu Bakr and Umar) amused him by slapping his wives (Aisha and Hafsa) for annoying him. According to the Hadith, the prophet of Islam laughed upon hearing this.
Abu Dawud (2141) - “Iyas bin ‘Abd Allah bin Abi Dhubab reported the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) as saying: Do not beat Allah’s handmaidens, but when ‘Umar came to the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) and said: Women have become emboldened towards their husbands, he (the Prophet) gave permission to beat them.” (This is graded sahih - authentic) At first, Muhammad forbade men from beating their wives. As the hadith indicates, he rescinded this once it was reported that women were becoming emboldened toward their husbands. Beatings in a Muslim marriage were deemed necessary at times to keep the woman in her place.
Abu Dawud (2142) - “The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: A man will not be asked as to why he beat his wife.” The authenticity of this chain of narration is characterized as daif (weak), however, a similar verse from Sunan Ibn Majah 3:9:1986 is said to be hasan (sufficient).
Abu Dawud (2126) - “A man from the Ansar called Basrah said: ‘I married a virgin woman in her veil. When I entered upon her, I found her pregnant. (I mentioned this to the Prophet).’ The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: 'She will get the dower, for you made her vagina lawful for you. The child will be your slave. When she has begotten (a child), flog her’” A Muslim man thinks he is getting a virgin for a wife, then finds out that she is pregnant. Muhammad tells him to treat the woman as a sex slave and then flog her after she delivers the child. (Despite multiple chains of narration, this hadith is graded as daif).
Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 969 - Requires that a married woman be “put in a separate room and beaten lightly” if she “act in a sexual manner toward others.” According to the Hadith, this can be for an offense as petty as merely being alone with a man to whom she is not related.
Kash-shaf (the revealer) of al-Zamkhshari (Vol. 1, p. 525) - [Muhammad said]“Hang up your scourge where your wife can see it”
Duh, of course that’s unacceptable, but where does it say that in the Qu’ran?
Beating the wife who will not submit (albeit as a last resort) is very much in line with the traditional interpretation that Islamic clerics have held since the time of Muhammad. After all, the Quran plainly states that men are in charge of women.
