Always reblog this. A lot of the animals they kill (and they kill over 95% of the animals they take in at their Virginia Headquarters) are killed within 24 hours. Not nearly enough time to deem whether an animal is adoptable or not. They even bought a giant fridge to store the corpses!

PETA is a corporation. Not a charity. Less than 1% of their 32 Million+ annual budget actually goes to directly helping animals. Most of it is spent making sexist/racist/ domestic abuse supporting commercials that won’t even air on television, giving bail outs to convicted arsonists and criminals, hiring/supporting any celebrity that claims to be vegetarian for five minutes, creating campaigns to target children (“Your mom kills animals”), fruitless lawsuits like suing Sea World for violating the constitution, and most recently, making porn. I’m not against porn, but I fail to see how it fucking helps animals.

PETA does not give a shit about animals.

I’m about to cry

Always reblog. A lot of people don’t know this side of PETA.

“

In one recent study, more than 100 university psychologists were asked to rate the CVs of Dr. Karen Miller or Dr. Brian Miller, fictitious applicants for an academic tenure-track job. The CVs were identical, apart from the name. Yet strangely, the male Dr. Miller was perceived (by both male and female reviewers) to have better research, teaching, and service experience than the luckless female Dr. Miller. Overall, about three-quarters of the psychologists thought that Dr. Brian was hirable, while only just under half had the same confidence in Dr. Karen. The same researchers also sent out applications for the position of tenured professor, again identical but for the male and female name at the top. This time, the application was so strong that most of the raters thought that tenure was deserved, regardless of sex. However, the endorsement of Karen’s application was four times more likely to be accompanied by cautionary caveats scrawled in the margins of the questionnaire: such as, ‘I would need to see evidence that she had gotten these grants and publications on her own’ and ‘We would have to see her job talk.’

“

Especially when she erased Henry’s memory. Will we see a confrontation between her and Henry about that?
Parrilla: Well, first of all, I can’t even tell you how many conversations I had over that scene because I was confused by it. … I don’t understand why is she doing this. Why would she use magic on Henry? She wouldn’t use magic on Daniel (Noah Bean), so why would she do it to Henry? I think it’s one of those crisis moments. She didn’t completely erase his memory. It was short-term, so she just erased that entire conversation so he wouldn’t remember what happened. It was almost like a little dose of magic just to see what it did.

LOOK EVEN LANA THOUGHT IT WAS OOC (x)

That bit was plain dumb. The entire scene was obviously just there so Regina could tell the audience—not Henry—her plan in its entirety.

How dense do they think we are?

(via relax-o-vision)

Yeah, like Regina said, she didn’t have anyone to talk to and without her talking to someone we obviously couldn’t figure things out. It was like how Cora and Regina repeated explained their plans. But yes, it was incredibly OOC and a horrible thing to do to Henry.

once upon a time once upon a meta

Congratulations OUaT…on getting even more terrible.

impala-in-storybrooke:

Okay so I just got caught up on Once ready for the finale and holy shit how does this show continue to make me so goddamn angry. You think I would have reached a point where I don’t even care anymore but nope, it still manages to piss me off more than anything else I know…I guess that’s probably because once upon a time (pun totally intended) I actually really loved this show - and it’s the things you love that can get you most angry.

To any SwanThief/Fire shippers who come across this: I don’t know how you’re feeling after last weeks ep - you might agree with me on this - but if you’re happy about what happened and the way it happened then don’t read this, it’ll seriously kill your buzz (and if you’re happy I want you to stay that way - some of us should be at least)

THIS. SO FUCKING MUCH!

Regina Mills once upon a time

“It was awful. The worst pain I have ever felt. I just remember… pain.”

- Snow White.
I really hope this line was for emotional pain too. Now, the first who comes to tell me that Regina has no reasons to act as she did all her life, I’ll punch him in the face.

OUAT season 1:	Regina is too damaged to love. Emma is too damaged to love.
OUAT season 2:	Regina gets closure on lost love. Emma gets closure on lost love.
OUAT season 3:	Regina and Emma love each other
Or
OUATseason 3:	10,000 new characters are introduced, the main characters are ignored for 90% of the season, and Mr Gold beats up someone with his cane.
