NO MORE

DIM MWY

today i learned that the finnish word for ‘hazardous waste’ is ongelmajäte, which can also translate as ‘problematic garbage’ and my roommate and i immediately agreed this is a word that belongs on tumblr.

Your fave is ongelmajäte

in german it’s Sondermüll which means special trash and that too belongs on tumblr

One man’s ongelmajäte is another man’s sondermüll.

did you guys know that there are religions out there where actual, literal belief isn’t all that important? i’ve only ever been around christianity where belief is like, the number one most important thing ever, so i never even considered that there are cultures out there where the question of “is this all real” never comes up because it doesn’t matter

and you can also belong to multiple religions that seem to contradict one another, and you don’t have to come up with some extra lore to tie them together. you can just be both.

one thing that does bother me quite a bit is the constant erasure of poc from "classical western culture" as if greece hadn't been interacting with north africa and west asia for centuries, and as if arab communities hadn't played a HUGE part in the preservation and studies of classical texts. like yeah random guy on twitter enjoy pretending to know aristotle and calling people racist slurs but where would you have gotten your unread copy of the organon without Ḥunayn ibn Isḥāq

i hate it when people mistake "etymology" with "entomology." like, i know where they coming from but it still bugs me

"Built by generations, buried by generations, uncovered by generations" is ruining me, thanks

where's that native meme that's like "lol you worship the sun lmao" and they respond "ok. the sun is real"

my little brother is going to go to a canada world cup watch party in the next few days, and he can only find one red football shirt. which is a welsh one. #cymruambyth

pride flag for nonbinary asexual aromantic individuals that just says "not gonna do all that"

and it has the dragon from the welsh flag on it
