In it for the long haul

ever since I was a little girl I knew I wanted to be into shit no one cares about

seeing a new pasta shape is memorable and exciting

i just heard the phrase “if you wouldn’t trust their advice, don’t trust their criticism” for the first time and i don’t think i’ve ever needed to hear anything more

And once I was told "if you don't agree with their actions, why do you seek their approval"

slightly furious reminder that fish do in fact feel pain and do in fact experience fear and distress when in pain since people seem to love spreading the myth that fish don't feel pain. what is it with people assuming a creature is incapable of feeling pain or emotion just because it doesn't have complex facial muscles. come on gang

This is part of why planned obsolescence is so evil. We could all have a phone or laptop that is made ethically that could last 10-20 years without the cost of human life and without filling landfills with electronic waste. But instead since the world is built on Line Go Up we are forced into a position where our tech (which we increasingly need to participate in modern life) self destructs so we have to spend more money at the expense of human life and the environment.

im not above eating some low hanging fruit like if theres low hanging fruit i might eat some

There is something sooo deeply American going on with Seattle Children’s Hospital that I think would brick the minds of everyone outside of the United States.

The CHILDRENS hospital has to restrict helipad landings because of noise complaints from the wealthy home owners living next to it. Only the most urgent patients can land directly at the hospital. While the other kids have to land a mile away and are taken to the hospital via ambulance. Which is an unnecessary risk to the child’s life and also makes the families pay for the helicopter AND ambulance.
