@bergamotbitsj
Iâve been noticing some confusion in the notes regarding what culture this is, so hereâs some more info!
The girl in the video is SĂĄmi. The SĂĄmi are an indigenous people from the region of SĂĄpmi, which encompasses northern parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia.
The traditional clothing of SĂĄmi people look different depending on which area tradition they belong to. This girl is north SĂĄmi and sheâs wearing a Lyngen dress (ivgu gĂĄkti in the north SĂĄmi language), which means her family/ancestors came from Lyngen, Norway. Lyngenâs proximity to the sea made fishing a common means of livelihood for the SĂĄmi living there, which earned them the name âsea SĂĄmiâ.
The girl in the video mentions that SĂĄmi people get harassed a lot on the 17th of May, which is the Constitutional Day / National Day of Norway.
hello everyone good morning. I thought Iâd share my babie cat enjoying nature along with his very tiny paws to start off the day!

The more I talk about recycling with people the more I realise just how many people recycle backwards.
Hey OP what the fuck are you talking about?
What I mean is, when a lot of people plan to recycle, they look at stopping products from ending up in landfill. This is a completely pointless thing to worry about. Some materials do require special handling to dispose of safely (batteries, fragile plastics, etc.), but if your goal is a general âhow do I repurpose this so it doesnât end up in landfill?â, that solves absolutely nothing.
We arenât lacking in landfill space. The shirt in the back of your closet that you never ever wear is exactly as bad for the environment in the back of your closet as it is in landfill; storing it is just delaying the point in time at which itâll start to break down. If I buy something in a plastic bottle, and then repurpose that plastic bottle into a garden pot or something⌠that garden pot is still gonna go to landfill eventually. I havenât saved anything. The plastic was landfill as soon as it was manufactured. That shirt was landfill (unless you choose to burn it, which isnât environmentally any better) the moment the fabric was produced.
The critical point when it comes to making a difference with recycling isnât before stuff hits landfill; itâs before the stuff is produced in the first place. âReduce, reuse, recycleâ only works because âreuseâ and ârecycleâ are strategies to feed into âreduceâ. Recycling glass bottles or aluminium cans is useful only because it reduces the amount of new glass and aluminium being produced (note: most of the plastic bottles you recycle go straight to landfill in other countries). Recycling fabric is useful only if it prevents the purchase of new fabric, and thus on a large scale, the production of new fabric.
For example, letâs say my pants are threadbare beyond repair, and I cut them up for dusters. Important question: do I use dusters? Do I need this many dusters? Is this, in short, an act that is stopping me from buying dusters made from newly manufactured material? If itâs not, then itâs not doing anything at all to help the environment. That same amount of fabric is still going to landfill. (Thatâs not a reason not to do it, it just doesnât help the environment at all.)
Another example: I tend to cut up old clothes and pick up fabric thatâs going to be thrown out a lot, to make bags and wall hangings and rugs and things. I recycle a LOT of fabric. Is this helping the environment? For some people doing this, it probably is, because theyâre making stuff theyâd otherwise buy. But for me, itâs doing nothing whatsoever for the environment. If I wasnât making cushions and wall hangings, I wouldnât be buying any. I just wouldnât own any cushions or wall hangings. Theyâre fun to make, they brighten the place up, but they donât affect my consumption (and therefore the incentive for cushions and wall hanging to be produced) at all; Iâm buying zero of those things either way. Is this recycling? Yes. Does it have any effect whatsoever on helping the environment? No. Itâs just delaying the amount of time before that exact same fabric ends becomes rubbish.
Same is true of the aformentioned plastic bottles into garden pots. That plastic is going into landfill whether you recycle it first or not. The question is, did repurposing it stop you from having to buy plastic garden pots? Will the cumulative effect of people doing this lower the amount of plastic garden pots being produced? Will that lower the amount of plastic being produced?
Stopping things from reaching landfill is largely an irrelevant and pointless practice. Recycling is only environmentally useful when it affects the future production of materials. Repurposing materials is often fun and practical regardless (I love repurposing materials), but itâs not automatically environmentally useful just because youâre reusing something.
#This is one of the reasons I am OBSESSED with green building materials#because so many of them are actually not that green at all#and the concept of recycled building materials is so over used while being under examined#and BOY DO THEY HATE IT WHEN YOU POINT OUT THAT THEIR GREEN PRODUCT IS NOT REALLY THAT GREEN#omg it makes them so mad#them being architects or company reps etcÂ
Still fuming over that âvegan leather made from cacti!â thing that turned out to be almost entirely plastic with like, a bit of cactus in there.
This is mostly true except the assertion that âWe arenât lacking in landfill spaceâ, which I must disagree with, because we are. Every landfill means another habitat dug up, more hydrology altered, and unless theyâre properly constructed, a LOT of extremely harmful compounds entering the surrounding ecosystems via leachate. And itâs a particular problem if you live somewhere with a smaller landmass (e.g. UK, Iceland, Aotearoa, the Philippines, etc) - we are absolutely running out of landfill space, and anything that slows their filling IS a good thing.
But yes, itâs absolutely true that the behemoth in the room is our consumption patterns, and a lot of the green movement is just capitalism in a new colour. If we donât stop making all the stuff weâre making, the planet dies. It really is that simple.
Thatâs a good point. For context I am Australian.
Friendly reminder that capitalism mangled âreduce reuse recycleâ into just ârecycleâ for a reason. Corporations donât want to reduce consumption at all so theyâll gladly sell you the lie that if you recycle hard enough youâll save the environment. No amount of recycling will save shit if we do not reduce and reuse (and obliterate the capitalist system forcing us all into perpetual overconsumption)
#point that more people really really need to know is that the vast majority of plastic ISNT recycled#and its not because you dont put it in the recycling bin. its that its picked up from your recycling and tossed in the landfill#more often than not#my dadâs a sanitation worker so im getting this info straight from the source#if you wanna reduce plastic waste the solution isnt recycling its avoiding plastic to begin withÂ
Often they take the time to ship it to a more exploited country first (creating unnecessary CO2 emissions) and ârecycleâ it in THEIR landfill!

it's time for â¨GLAM SALSAâ¨
Thinking or how capitalism replaced âwe are all sinful and unworthy of paradise and we must repent and serve god our whole life because of itâ
With âwe are all lazy and unworthy of basic necessities and we must scrape by and be productive our whole life because of itâ
And now there are segments of social justice culture, especially of liberal social justice culture, that want to replace that with âwe are all guilty of climate change and systematic oppression and unworthy of compassion and we must sacrifice everything that gives us pleasure and throw ourselves fully into the fight against these systems because of itâ.
And like, that is bullshit. We were not born guilty. Pursuing pleasure and resting are good actually. But more importantly: in all three cases, this line of thinking is designed to control people. Which is a very good reason not to trust anyone peddling guilt like that.
The Puritans got kicked out of England for a reason and that reason was they were shit.
Literally, like base your leftist ideas in striving for kindness, compassion, community, autonomy, and most importantly, hedonism.
And base your relationship with the earth and the living world as kinship, responsibility and mutual understanding/enrichment - not the mindsets above, which are variations of exploitation and extraction of the world, whether seeing the world as a god-given gift or a beautiful victim.
If you tell someone all their lives that theyâre inherently bad and guilty and abusive, and incidentally here is their built-in victim to exploit - you can see how it would be hard to turn that into a healthy relationship. The moral ones will naturally try to come up with ways to exploit the victim less or differently, focusing energy on being a better abuser - which is genuinely understandable! In this mindset itâs really hard to see that there is any other way to perceive yourself or the world, so itâs reasonable to just try to do your best and hope that âgood abusersâ make a difference. It is also a framework that helps people make more moral choices, so it does have some value âŚ. but you donât get to healing that way, and itâs hard to keep your motivations based on love.

I recently started a second job watching kids at an after school program, and I noticed a lot of the boys in the program donât follow strict gender roles when it comes to aesthetics. Like a lot of the boys wear sparkly gloves or shirts with sequins on them or come to school with painted nails, which is nice, donât get me wrong I think itâs great to see little boys not being raised to think they have to adhere to strictly masculine aesthetics in how they present themselves and I think thatâs progress and should be celebrated. Howeverrrrr it kinda feels like it just stops at aesthetics, like the boys still get away with being much, much, louder and more aggressive than the girls do and get away with more violent behavior and saying more vulgar things than the girls do, theyâre not as willing to pick up after themselves, usually when I tell a room full of kids that they need to pick up their toys before leaving the girls will jump up and do it without a fight but the boys will pout and yell and throw a fit and almost never pick up after themselves without putting up a fight, if they do it at all (yes even here in supposedly oh so âgender equalâ Iceland thereâs still problems with double standards like this in schools) And it makes me think how itâs really, really important that when we try to raise kids equally so they donât follow toxic gender norms that we donât limit it just to aesthetics. If an adult man wears eyeliner and paints his nails but still expects his wife or girlfriend to cook for him and clean up after him like sheâs his maid, and still has violent / aggressive behavior, then heâs still a product of toxic masculinity. Yes, let little boys wear sparkles and paint their nails, thatâs wonderful and Iâm always happy to see it, but also make sure little boys are taught they need to equally pick up after themselves and clean and not just leave it to the girls, and make sure theyâre taught that violence and aggression isnât okay and they should approach others with kindness and gentleness.
