hey there! i'm Lila. (she/her)
I reblog lots of stuff and I'm stuck on mobile for financial reasons.
I love Homestuck, Steven Universe, FullMetal Alchemist, The Legend of Zelda, and a bunch of other lame things.
I also really like to draw.
Bishop Curry V may be young (10 years old, to be precise), but the little kid from Texas has some big ideas. He’s currently working on a device that could help prevent children from dying in hot cars.
The number of children who died in hot cars increased across the country last year, and Texas had the highest number of cases. Sadly for Bishop, the issue also hits close to home because a baby died in a minivan last summer outside a home near his own family’s home in McKinney.
Bishop was inspired to create a device he calls “Oasis,” which would attach to a car seat and detect if a child is left inside the vehicle, prompting it to blow cool air until parents or the police are notified.
“It would be a dream to have lots of inventions that would save many lives,” the precocious 10-year-old told the news station.
A lot of people don’t realize how easy it is to leave something in a hot car.
It’s easy to forget something when it’s not in your daily routine, especially if it’s asleep or under a blanket or something.
This is a nightmare. I don’t have kids myself, but I can absolutely understand how this could happen- everyone’s sick so you’re probably kind of out of it, you run in thinking you’re just going to be a minute, get distracted with the task at hand… and then your child dies in a horrific way because of it…
I’m all for any methods or technologies that can help prevent it from turning tragic.

THIS IS LITERALLY THE BEST WAY TO WAKE UP holy shit I am so proud of this child I wanna give them a huge hug
In Hemostuck, Nepeta Leijon is part of the third, and largest, branch of the Alternian Social Enforcement, the Bounty Hunterminators. They’re something like the American FBI and something like hardboiled noir detectives and something like, obviously, bounty hunters. They investigate things for the Legislacerators and back up the Threshecutioners as necessary, apprehending criminals and hauling them to trial; they also carry out the majority of cullings. In the way that Legislacerators serve Heat and Clockwork, and Threshecutioners serve Pulse and Haze, the Bounty Hunterminators serve Frost and Frogs, the goddess of proper deaths and rebirth.
Tl;dr: Nepeta is swag as fuck and when she and Terezi make out the combined majesty of their professional attire shorts out everyone’s retinas.
both of them are immortal, they’ve been married for 600 years, they’re just as in love as the first time they got together, they plant an entire island full of flowers and name species after each other
I literally had a friend say this the other day while having dinner with him and his husband.
“Listen.” He said. “I served in the military. 10 years in the army, and had to keep my mouth shut and pretend. I had to pretend to everyone, until I just got sick of it and decided fuck you all. I haven’t been nice in years. Everyone saying I should shut up can kiss my ass.”
If people wanted nice gay people they should have been nicer to them.
so the thing about my family is that we have two ancestors on my dad’s side who were buried in france, where I currently live. one died in the spanish civil war, and one died prior doing…we don’t know what. but he somehow managed to get buried in père lachaise.
so anyhow, my gran sends me a message like “pls put flowers on ur uncle samuel’s grave because he’s gone over a century with none and it will make the ghost mad if he hasn’t already” because my family spends time in europe but never long enough to go all the way to père lachaise and give ya boy samuel jr. his death rites. so im like “ok gran I can do that” bc im a good grandson and you do not fuck with gran she doesn’t DESERVE THAT
i figure out which plot he’s on and ask someone specifically where you can find uncle samuel jr. and they tell me where and so I arrive at the junction and.
HE GONE.
WHERE DID YOU GO UNCLE SAMUEL.
*celine dion’s smash hit “my heart will go on” playing in the distance*
in other words either someone stole my entire great great uncle samuel or he has risen again, ready to party in paris for all of eternity.
You’re pretty chill about a corpse disappearing.
My guy, my dude, he’s been dead since 1851. He could be anywhere. He does what he wants.
Dance party! My half of an art trade with Shelby, who will be doing the colors! I slapped some texture on that bitch in the meanwhile. Bitches love textures.
And bellydancing.
ETA: Awww it is all small. You can get the proper-sized version here.
