I have become obsessed with long term nuclear waste disposal warnings

"we sure are a species huh"

Wow. We are setting ourselves up for being part of a couple mythologies in the future, and I love it.

not to be dramatic but we desperately need a punk movement to come in and wash away this Instagram model airbrushed picture perfect trend. it’s so damaging……teens, young adults, kids, the Grown….all of us need to just. we need to be sweaty again. we deserve it smeared eyeliner…..idk just. it’s okay if ur hair is greasy please just relax & then get mad about stuff that’s important to you.

I hope someone’s out there studying this and how to recover from it, because this is one big difference I’m seeing between Millennials and Zoomers: many Zoomers I met (especially - but not only - the girls) suffer from this all-pervading anxiety caused by having their pictures taken all the time and plastered everywhere. They’re literally expected to look like models? And I’m not saying we didn’t have fashion obsessions, but people were a lot more whatever about their appearance. Nobody knew how to properly apply make-up and very few could afford it, hair accessories literally did not exist, ‘beauty’ products were limited to the three brands on sale in local shops, and clothes were often second-hand, practical and baggy because cheap stuff made by slaves in South-East Asia wasn’t a thing. As far as I can tell, things started to change in the late 90s; IG influencers feel like the last nail in the coffin, but something way worse is probably in the works because isn’t it always?

You forfeit your humanity when you try to take away mine

yes. there’s a study for you on the effect it had as well conducted by the natn’l institute of justice.

LIT THANKS!!

the art of making someone feel seen and feel special IS the highest art

turning feminism from a radical social movement with the capacity to create real change into a fun quirky fandom that you can buy merch for at urban outfitters is one of the worst crimes of late stage capitalism/21st century western individualism. the current state of feminism is damning evidence that there’s no way to kill an activist movement more effectively than commodifying it.

^^^^ This is the best advice I’ve ever seen on this site, and it is so important. Communication is everything, and is 80% of the reason my husband and I have such a healthy, strong, and supportive relationship.

The Ellis family had only built the 7-foot-tall menorah… because their sons, ages 5, 7 and 9, had asked their parents if the family could decorate their home like the neighbors did for Christmas. This is America in the 21st century.  Please reblog, even if you’re not Jewish.  Especially if you’re not Jewish.  Spread awareness and let your Jewish followers know that we’re not alone.

Fuck you vandals
