Farewell Wanderlust

@jared-wormsboy i am crying uncontrollably

I reference this in conversation sometimes assuming everyone knows about the Owl Attack Sex Playlist and i look fucking unhinged

Hence the not-uncommon adage that the washing machine did even more for women's liberation than the birth control pill

A frustrating part of the mainstream vegan “love all animals and protect the environment” mindset is the fact that things need to die in real-life ecology all the time but deer hunting season makes icky feelings and carp culls aren’t cottagecore

this is BEAUTIFUL.

in like 5-8 years when gen alpha starts really making fun of gen z no one is allowed to complain because like 99% of people do nothing but treat those kids like shit

so much of what gen alpha is made fun of (by literal adults!!!) is stuff they absolutely have no control over and is not their fault. they have no control of whether their parents choose to stick an ipad in front of their face day 1 instead of being parents. little girls becoming obsessed with sephora and skincare should not be a reason to make fun of them but a reason to question the beauty industry and its predatory behavior. “brainrot” is intrinsic to every generation. it’s not their fault that schools are increasingly becoming underfunded and kids are becoming more and more left behind by the system. not only are kids gonna be kids but they’re also so insanely vulnerable and unable to do anything about that fact due to being literal children. and it’s so disheartening to see so many things that should be obvious societal issues and causes for concern brushed away or turned into jokes because it’s only affecting children, like they somehow deserve the horrible hand society has dealt them for the very sin of not yet growing up

#A REAL GEN Z NEVER SPEAKS ILL OF GEN ALPHA#<- meme reference#but for real i will go to bad for any child. leave those kids the fuck ALONE#you WILL listen to gen alpha and treat them as the authorities of their experiences!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#on god we are gonna break the cycle of intergenerational division and rise up against ageism

It kind of fucks with me that somebody killed ötzi the iceman because ötzi himself is like whatever but the silent presence of human hands that drew back the string of the bow that shot the arrow that killed him is crazy. the idea that there were various people involved in that situation and while one of them has had his last hours painstakingly reconstructed and studied to no end, the others now only exist insofar that an arrowhead had to get into his shoulder somehow. imagine killing someone and then suddenly your entire existence is only a vague shadow implied by the fact that you killed them. much to consider

Testing the mummified bone marrow of ötzi to figure out his ancestry whole time there’s definitely another person, maybe more than one, standing in the room with us but I can never see or speak to them because I only know them through the assurance that they were there too in the form of one single arrowhead. I hate prehistory so much it’s unreal

why do americans think everyone on the internet lives in the same place as them. just saw someone say honeybees are "not native". not native to where????? the entire planet?????

saw a photo of garlic mustard somewhere on the internet once and americans in the comments were like "fun fact this plant is invasive so you should definitely tear out any you see, WITH THE ROOTS so it won't spread!" whole fucking time i'm living in garlic mustard native range. i don't think i will be doing that.

This drives me absolutely up the wall in r/birdfeeding. Every time there's a picture of a house sparrow, the entire comments are filled with americans talking about them being invasive and how they should be basically killed on sight. But often OP has not provided a location, and house sparrows have a HUGE native range. Here in the UK they're not only native birds, they're on the decline, they need our help and protection.
