I suck at titles

Aside from being pseudoscientific Malthusian nonsense, the real effect of half the planet dying in the space of a human lifetime would be the complete collapse of civilization, and while I know there’s a few “leftist” idiots who think that’s a good thing, it’s not.

the notes on the “you should read more nonfiction books” post i reblogged a few minutes ago are really depressing to me… So many people screaming crying throwing up about how fiction is their special little funtime zone and they couldn’t imagine reading anything nonfiction. I do not sympathize with that mindset. I can’t help but wonder what society-level force has instilled people with this incurious attitude. is it a failing of the education system? i’m just not sure.

Perfect harmony

So the UK will reroute a fucking Internet cable for a fake grave for a fake elf because a bunch of brain dead nerds through a pissy fit, and meanwhile real actual natives in the US are getting arrested for trying to keep oil sand pipelines from going through their actual graves, holy sites and unceded territory. Burn it all down.

oh it's worse, it's not an internet cable, it's a cable for distributing cleanly generated solar/wind electricity

Oh and hey. Yeah. She was so asleep. And then? SO AWAKE.

I want this as a long ass show where every episode's this

being married to a man as a woman seems like one of those punishments from the bible

sorry guys i didnt pay attention in church i was drawing the akatsuki

it's like, definitely still mansplaining if the man is dominating the conversation unintentionally and he would totally stop if you asked him to, actually. like, the term exists to describe a phenomenon that arises from the implicit bias that women are expected to simply be less knowledgeable about things. it doesn't matter if he's doing it on purpose or not. he does it cause he expects women to not know things or to not have any input. maybe don't fucking expect women to stand up for themselves every single time they have to have a conversation with a man because that shit happens like daily for a lot of women

genuinely, sincerely, if you are a man you need to learn to shut up when you're talking to women

was doing a first aid course and it kept talking about how when applying first aid to a child you have to ask the PARENT for consent and how the child's consent is not enough unless you cannot reach the parent. and then immediately after there was a unit on shaken baby syndrome, and then mentioned abuse as a common source of children getting injured. and they didn't see the irony there. i later asked the instructor what to do about parental consent if the medical emergency was from the parent abusing the child and she was like "you still need to obtain parental consent. you can report the abuse though" not even acknowledging how fucked the whole system is. i hate it here. youth rights now
