Ah, Good The Sea

not really a fan of the amount of people here who now hear “war crime” and immediately think “fun meme term”

It would kill half the 19-25 year olds online to realize "I can't help it I have trauma" is one of THE quintessential abuser excuses

“Home is where the trees look normal” is the sweetest, saddest, most nostalgic truth I’ve ever heard.

250 years and most native tribal groups continue to not be federally recognized. Embarrassing!

Just a reminder that the Chinook Indian Nation was one of the very few tribes to be recognized and then have that recognition rescinded. They've been fighting to regain recognition ever since, and you can find out more about how to help them no matter where you are at ChinookJustice.org.

I had to check this wasn’t The Onion

Drives me genuinely insane that kids-only spaces on the internet like Club Penguin were destroyed because companies realised that there’s only so much profit you can squeeze out of children with no disposable income, so now kids are being forced into adult spaces on the internet where the profit model is to find the most viewers you can passively expose to ads that nobody is clicking on so all online media is slowly turning into Mr Beast Elsagate nightmares, and for adults this means giving your ID to companies owned by businessmen with Epstein connections to keep the kids “safe.” Clown internet.

Whatttt is with the tendency of Tumblr users to seek absolution from every single person who offhandedly posts about disagreeing with something they do

I say this not unkindly, but firmly: to function as a member of a social species, you have to get comfortable with the idea that not everyone will like you

My grandma told me she was happy I got the option to be single and unmarried once.

Hey kids, you need to start worrying a little less about getting “#mogged” and a little more about getting “#smogged”. This is an Air Quality Index public service announcement.

It is not nearly common enough knowledge that most Native tribes in the U.S. don't actually own all of the land within their reservation. There are millions of acres of reservation land that tribes don't legally own and they have no control over how that land is used. Like, there are a lot of different concepts tied in with the land back movement, but a major one is literally just getting reservation land back into tribal ownership.

supporting my asexual friends and foes by rebbloging this

It’s 50 years this month since the first version of the Asexual Manifesto was written. Aces have been writing about our experiences under this name for at least half a century. We are not an internet fad.

Thought crimes aren't real, telepaths don't exist, and even if they were and do, having your head constantly play "Fly me to the moon/Let me kick its fucking ass/Let me show you what I learned/In my moon jiu-jitsu class" on repeat while out and about in public isn't illegal

so strange when people assume 'waking up early' means increased productivity bc no??? im awake so i can read fanfic in bed before breakdown

BREAKFAST

I'm gonna say it, I do think that even the laziest person imaginable should have a roof over their head, food in their stomach, and access to healthcare

What the hell happened to the energy around gender neutral bathrooms. Remember when we were fighting for all bathrooms to be gender neutral. But now we can barely argue that people can use the gendered bathroom of their choice. Maybe there's some single stall bathroom tucked away in a basement somewhere.

The other thing about the fuckass single stall bathroom is that it's usually also the only accessible bathroom. Because fuck disabled people too.

You'd think that if we had our shit together, properly designed multi-stall bathrooms would be the standard in new buildings. New buildings that are meant to be used for decades at a minimum. But because our society is useless we still have stalls with huge gaps around the door and broken latches.

It feels like we gave up on improving bathrooms sometime in the eighties.

Also what the hell is up with the "accessible" stalls you can't turn a wheelchair around in. They're so small you can't even close the door, and at that point why even have stalls. Just have everyone piss and shit on a plank with holes in it like the Romans did.

Only people with mobility issues should be allowed to become architects and interior designers.
