Isn’t it cute?image

I hope it’s ok to do this… I’m just changing the colors and background (I also changed the logo…)

Aywas just feels more festive now!

If it is ok to use, PM me @ #29394 and I’ll help you get it set up :)

Eep! ohmygosh! officialaywas reblogged this! So is it ok to do? I’m going to put it up on the site so everyone can use it! I’ll take it down if it’s not ok.

Aywas generally has no issue with aesthetic changes. The only changes we don’t like would be ones that give someone an unfair advantage.

Is the tumblr iPhone app not working for anyone else? It randomly logged me out and won’t let me log back in. Says wrong password but it’s the right one, since I can log in via browser.

Eric Garner, an African-American man accused of selling untaxed cigarettes, was killed by NYPD member Daniel Pantaleo on July 17th. Pantaleo used an illegal chokehold to get Garner to the ground, and after collapsing, the 43-year-old died in an ambulance en route to a hospital.

The chokehold was…

12 Year Old Dymond Milburn was severely beaten by 3 plainclothes police officers because they thought she was a prostitute. Even though they beat her with a flashlight and caused injuries to her head, spine, throat and ear, the cops charged her with assault.
Sean Stewart, one of the cops involved, later received “Officer of the Year”

WHAT THE FUUCK

it’s said that this isn’t even surprising… there’s just a feeling of general hopelessness tbh

NO it’s so important you read the article though, because it’s even worse. 

According to a lawsuit filed in federal court in Galveston, Dymond Larae Milburn went outside her home to flip a circuit breaker at about 7:45 p.m. on Aug. 22, 2006.
Responding to a call that three white prostitutes were soliciting in the neighborhood, the plainclothes officers jumped out of an unmarked van on Gomez’s orders and one of them grabbed the girl, who is black, the lawsuit states.
The girl contends that the officers did not identify themselves as police and that the officer who grabbed her, later identified as Roark, told her, “You’re a prostitute. You’re coming with me.”
Her parents heard her cries for help and came outside to see the hysterical girl hanging on to a tree and screaming “Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!” while two officers hit her about the head, face and throat, the family alleges.

Plainclothes officers. Three adult male strangers jumped out of a van, called a little girl a prostitute, and attempted to drag her away into the van. And then later they charge her with resisting arrest. 
And from this article (I don’t understand why they have that image as a header depicting a scary black man threatening/silencing a crying little white girl when it was a white COP beating on a little black girl but ok)

Officer David Roark had his hand over the mouth of Milburn when her father came out on the balcony after hearing his daughter’s cries for help. The other officers, Justin Popovich and Sean Stewart, beat Dymond’s face, head and throat while their supervisor, Sgt. Gilbert Gomez, watched on in approval.
Dymond’s parents approached the cops and said “That’s our daughter. She’s twelve.” Roark responded “I don’t care if she’s twenty-two, thirty-two, or forty-six.”

and then:

The examining physician found that the girl had injuries from multiple blows to the head, face, neck, lower back, left shoulder, and left hip/waist area. She suffered a contusion to the back of the head (where she was struck with a flashlight). There were abrasions on her arm and wrist. Dymond’s throat was swollen; she had difficulty swallowing, nausea and vomiting, and hoarseness of voice due to being struck in the throat. She had black eyes, scalp lacerations, tenderness of the vertebrae. She was experiencing double vision and loss of hearing. Dymond’s ear drum and nose were also injured (blood in ear, bruised nasal septum, and nose bleed).
After the attack, Dymond suffered from PTSD, nightmares, and an inability to concentrate in school.
When she finally healed enough (physically) to return to school a horrible surprise was waiting for her. Police showed up to Austin Middle School and arrested Dymond for resisting and assaulting a peace officer. A twelve year old girl!
In a blatant disregard of logic and common sense, the court system in Galveston felt these charges were justified and Milburn was actually charged with assault on an officer and tried, twice! After three years and two mistrials, the DA finally dropped her case.
Immediately after her criminal trials, the family filed a civil suit, naming the four officers as plaintiffs. After multiple appeals by officers, including asking the court to dismiss the case based upon qualified immunity, meaning that the officers were just doing their job and are thereby shielded from civil liability, a settlement has yet to have been reached.

Absolutely disgusting.

Why do the danger noodles get hydrated via a spray bottle? I'm just really curious, it's intensely cute.

haha “danger noodles”. it simulates rain and natural conditions under which a snake would normally have a drink. they seem to like it, too. 

Unsure how a reptile keeper’s political views has anything to do with their credibility as a snake/reptile owner/breeder……

If you don’t know what spending money has to do with supporting political views, you’re not a very good capitalist (or you are very young yet).

This isn’t about spending money… This is about people calling him a horrible reptile keeper just because he has different political views as them. I fail to see how reptile/snake husbandry has anything to do with racial views/politics. If you have excellent husbandry and are pumping out grade A snakes, then you’re a good reptile keeper in my eyes. If you don’t like him just because you don’t like his views, then simply don’t buy from him and leave it at that. If he is ALSO a bad snake owner, then fine. But unless he actually has some legitimately bad husbandry practices, please leave the two different subject matters separate.

No one is calling him a horrible reptile keeper, though after review of VK’s husbandry practices those accusations are certainly justified as well, we’re simply calling him a horrible person! A horrible terrible racist person! Who you should not support by consuming their media or or purchasing products from because giving them your money and time also helps them continue to be a horrible terrible racist person. So if you have any shred of decency, why the fuck would you want to continue to support a horrible terrible racist person so their behaviour can continue to be in the public eye.

Also, this line of thinking assumes that there’s no one in the reptile community that can be hurt by racism when that’s not the case at all. POC, like me for instance, are apart of the reptile community and the racism of other reptile keepers effects us deeply and quite frankly, makes the community a pretty uninviting and hostile place. Like I know, the fact that the reptile community isn’t only made up of white folks is really hard to deal with because that means those white folks now need to confront racism and violence within this oh so ~carefree~ hobby and within themselves. :’(

This. I’ve recently started accepting other breeders on my Facebook and it’s appalling the stuff that they post. Racism, sexism, misogyny, you name it. A lot of them act like the stereotypical Cis White Male that people are thinking of when they say “I hate white men” here on tumblr.

We’re trashing Dren? Good now its my turn

I find Dren to be rather annoying. Her ….. his …… its, that works demeanour is childish and annoying. Let us reveal examples:

mew okies XD O_O D= yaayyyy (and other extension of words) ikr omfg srsly making words childish (backies instead of back monies…

"It" would be an appropriate pronoun for a chair or a book, not a human being. "It" is utterly dehumanizing. Don’t you fucking call a human being an "it" ever again, unless you are specifically instructed to do so by that person due to their preferences.
