Don't Die At Sea

at 13 i was so angry about everything and i was right

Yes

I know this is a tiny part of the wider problems born of diet culture, fatphobia, classicism, and racism but like god the idea that "healthy" food must inherently taste bad has completely ruined us as a society.

Every time you feel bad for having coffee with cream and sugar or ranch on your salad or putting extra butter and salt on your veggies I want you to imagine the spirit of John Harvey Kellogg in front of you and then I want you to kill him with a real gun and eat your delicious food in peace.

I will always re-blog this. The story of Kitty Genovese’s murder has gone down in history as a story about everyone watching it happen and doing nothing and none of the story is true.

I was in southern Ontario during great eastern North America blackout of 2003. Every movie I've ever seen would have imagined an orgy of looting and senseless violence. Instead, i remember people forming orderly lines, communicating what information was available, being helpful to one another.

Helping is such a strong instinct in humans that we have to train people to not run into enclosed spaces with a person unconcious in them or near overturned chemical trucks because there might be a gas leak or other invisible hazards and they'd probably die too. People have died jumping into water that was electrified because someone already in it was drowning and they didn't think twice. Humans are hardwired to just help, so much so we hardly ever consider that there might be something there that could hurt us too, and tbh I think that's something we can all be proud of.
