personally I am of the opinion that vegans who are like “the way our food system currently works under capitalism on a large scale is exceptionally cruel to all animals including humans and is not sustainable, so I’m doing what I can to make the most ethical choices available to me about what I eat and encourage others to do the same” are generally very reasonable people who I agree with in spades. but vegans who seem to think human beings are not themselves animals who are ultimately also part of the food chain but instead some kind of other paternalistic higher entity that can never engage in ethical and sustainable hunting practices (and especially the fringe I’ve seen who think other carnivorous animal predators are also evil and need to be eliminated) are people I regard as foolish at best if not actively anti-indigenous and racist

beautifully worded this sums up exactly what i think of veganism ily for this

It's a pity that the petrichor scent didn't work out (I hadn't considered that it smells different depending on the region and there's no way I could find the nordic after-rain scent anywhere), but I have now come to the conclusion that I want to smell like amber and cardamom at all times.

how do you smell like amber it is a rock

It's actually a resin!

once upon a time yeah but then it fossilised and became a fossil which is a rock no?

Fun fact! Both the music and the font in that ad were incorrectly sourced and did not provide compensation to the creators

they would steal music and fonts?

I fully believe in access to safe and fully-informed autonomy over the self but at the same time there are choices I find incomprehensible. This is okay

Something that I first applied to working with children, and have applied in a limited form to working with adults: you don't need to tell someone when they read your instructions wrong. Sometimes it's enough to point out what they did right and then whatever they didn't do? You ask them to do it in more precise words, and you make it sound like it's a new request. Remarkable how fast things get done this way.

This is also a habit I built up from emergency response training. If I say "I need you to bring me a first aid kit and an accident report" and you bring me just a first aid kit, it's so much more efficient to say "thanks now can you bring me an accident report" than "I asked you to bring an accident report why didn't you bring me one".

Once you've internalized "a person bleeding out is one of the worst times to start an argument" you start to wonder what other tasks could get accomplished without arguing

I've been wondering if I'm actually just in love with the idea of being in love, rather than actually capable of romantic attraction. Or something.

you might be me

I just learned yesterday that watermelons could explode when overripe and then today one exploded in my kitchen. So I guess I'll never learn anything new ever again just to be safe.

excellent use of foreshadowing
