I laughed too hard at this
Guys, I’m not kidding.
Suicide-baiting, cyberharassmemt, cyberstalking, death/rape threats, and hate speech are illegal in all 50 states as well as Australia and the UK.
Some places include school suspension or expels. Some even include jail time for multiple years.
And yes, they can find someone by username or IP alone.
Also, yes. There are methods of catching someone’s IP. Even under a VPN.
So.
Next time you get hit with anon hate?
Casually remind them you can very easily take this to the next level. And they can earn jail time while you lay back in your chair, having saved yourself and everyone else from a violent criminal.
Make sure they learn that.
(Just in case there’s a “the police wouldn’t do that” - Yes. They absolutely would.
Or a “I can handle it.” No. That person will continue to harass others as well. And one of them may not be as strong as you. So do it for them and everyone else.
Or a “It’s not that severe.” Yes. It is. People have died because of this. It really is that severe.)
Take action. And make sure the lives of these bullies are truly wrecked.

“I always remember having this fight with a random dude who claimed that ‘straight white men’ were the only true innovators. His prime example for this was the computer… the computer… THE COMPUTER!!! THE COM-PU-TER!!!

Twitter deleted her thread. Reblog to save it. #Love it!
Do y’all ever just wanna shove a crystal up your ass to see if it’ll ‘calm your shit’?
for the final day of my redinstead project, i drew characters that to my knowledge, are canonically autistic. from left to right: abed nadir from community, julia from sesame street, spencer reid from criminal minds, (my spidersona, spider-stim!), symmetra from overwatch, river from to the moon, and newt scamander from fantastic beasts!
(symmetra was suggested by @junkratsbobatea and spencer was suggested by @lcmontea!)
plus, a little note from me:
thank you to every single person who liked, reblogged, followed, and just generally supported me through this month. i don’t think i would’ve lasted if it wasn’t for the amount of love i got from people. i can’t even express with words how happy i am that you all enjoyed a project that i wasn’t sure anyone would even care about. just, thank you. <3

The only reason Oscar isn’t up there is because seeing a flying trash can would be awkward looking #RIPBigBird. We’ll miss you, Caroll.
