Somewhere in the Deep Blue Sea

sherpas used to be treated like expedition partners that knew the land better than you because they were raised on it and now they’re treated like they are lowly disposable service workers setting up heated tents or spas for wealthy hikers who have no business on the mountain like they are collecting your nasty trash off one of the holiest and most sacred mountains in the world like do y’all understand that we see sagarmatha or mount everest as a living deity on earth while the rest of the world sees her as a conquest?

locals of nepal hold the belief that your karma is the strongest as you reach the peak of sagarmatha and the mountain gives to you the spiritual energy you carry within yourself—benevolent or malevolent. you violate the spiritual sanctity of the mountain with your trash and your hubris. you disrupt the spirits that have long dwelled there. if you must summit sagarmatha, it isn’t and shouldn’t ever be from a place of bragging rights or bucket list goals but as a spiritual journey to connect with the spirit of nature at its most powerful.

Are YOU gonna let THE GOVERNMENT tell YOU what YOUR GENDER is? That doesn't sound like Life Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness to me! PROTECT your individual FREEDOMS and call your senator: we want the GOVERNMENT to stay OUT OF OUR PANTS! GENDER FREEDOM NOW!

Two men in your neighborhood are married... to EACH OTHER? Congratulate them for exercising their AMERICAN RIGHT to follow the footsteps of our FOUNDING FATHERS! They've got a fully AMERICAN spirit of FREEDOM and REBELLION! GOD BLESS THE USA.

Your coworker has a different RELIGION from yours? Well, that's just INTERESTING and you should talk about it on your UNION-APPROVED LUNCH BREAK. The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA was FOUNDED on Freedom of Religion and ANYONE should be allowed to seek the AMERICAN DREAM!

You think someone might be in this GREAT country ILLEGALLY? NO YOU DON'T! No one is in this country illegally! The minute anyone steps on our SOVEREIGN SOIL they're your FELLOW AMERICAN and where they come from is NO ONES BUSINESS.

it's funny yeah, but guys this is actually how you reach the people who prefer these terms to frame all things Good and Correct.

@theshitpostcalligrapher please. Im beggin

Heteronormativity just seems like people making up weird arbitrary rules and then getting mad at each other for breaking them and it all looks so miserable to me

A straight guy told me he's going to therapy to figure out why the idea of having children and being in a monogamous marriage doesn't appeal to him and I was just like idk man that describes like 90% of my friends including me and we're all literally fine but good luck I guess?

They have 1 singular very specific life path as an option and if you don't want that exact one, there must be something wrong with you, and then they wonder why they're so miserable.

We had a fascinating cultural exchange in the sense that I asked him to explain what the issue is exactly because in gay world that's kind of the default. Especially when you're in your 30s.

Somehow, us queers are the weird ones...
