holy fuck I’m reading the terms of my renters’ insurance and I assumed it would be another boring contract but there’s some wild shit in here
it covers damages due to aircraft, including “spacecraft and self-propelled missiles,” which I guess means there’s a real possibility that my building could get donnie darko’d
on the other hand it specifically doesn’t include damage from war, which it defines as “insurrection, insurgence, rebellion, revolution, or warlike act by a military force,” including instances of undeclared war. what I don’t get is how the aforementioned self-propelled missiles are different from any other means of war but alright
it goes on to say that it won’t cover anything relating to a nuclear hazard, but furthermore that “discharge of a nuclear weapon will be considered a warlike act, even if accidental”
also they don’t cover any kind of water damage which is like the one thing I actually wanted from an insurance plan but if the international space station falls on top of me at least there’s a payout for that
To be fair, “missile” has a legal definition that covers basically anything with a rocket engine strapped to it, so including “missiles” while excluding acts of war isn’t totally nonsensical.
Exactly what things satisfying this definition you’re likely to encounter in your neighbourhood is still an open question, of course.
This would explicitly cover you in the case that someone is doing a legitimate test of a rocket based vehicle / drone, or creating and piloting one on a drunken dare.
So long as they aren’t also enemies of the states in which case it could be construed as an act of undeclared war.
But really, so long as there is someone else that the insurance company can recoup the money from via lawsuit or dealing with another insurer, they’re likely to payout.

Money Cats masterpost, to have your LIFE!! filled with money.
Different Stories Resonate with Different People
I will always reblog this.
This made my heart get all tight and hot or maybe it was my stomach or like all of my organs. <3 <3 <3
Am I the only one that’s a just a tiny bit pissed off that this is still an issue?
The Original Series wasn’t even in the general VICINITY of fucking around yo
How many shows these days would do this, and do it this way? These days, it would be all, “Ohh, we have to be sensitive and show the nuances of each side” and try not to make either side seem wrong. It wouldn’t be clearly spelled out, “pro-choice is right, if you’re against it you’re the bad guys.”
Jim Kirk is not here for your anti-birth-control, anti-choice, pro-death-penalty BS
James Tiberius Kirk was written and portrayed as a feminist and I will fight anyone who says otherwise.
Yep. That episode is exactly what you think it is: pro-birth control, pro-population control, pro-choice, and pro-women’s right to choose. And yes, Kirk, the supposed playboy of the spaceways, is in favor of all of the above.
It was written and aired in 1969.
It probably couldn’t air today.
THINK ABOUT THAT.
Also LMAO at all the sad whiny geek boys who are like “I miss the GOOD OLD DAYS of SCI-FI when it wasn’t all about SOCIAL ISSUES and instead it was just about MEN HAVING FUN IN SPACE. Like Star Trek! Star Trek wouldn’t put up with all this SOCIAL JUSTICE FEMINISM IN SCI FI bullshit!” And meanwhile I’m just over here like “…did you actually watch the show?”
@judicialmistrangementorder
It’s also important to bear in mind that the Original Series had a predominantly female fanbase, and during its initial run, was widely mocked and dismissed by mainstream (i.e., male) science fiction fans as being fake sci-fi for girls. It’s difficult to overstate the influence women had on the franchise in its early days; most of the early Star Trek conventions were organised by and for women, and indeed, those same organisers were primarily responsible for the massive letter-writing campaign that prevented the show from being cancelled after the 1968 season. Without that campaign, the episode pictured in this post would never have been made.
The popular image of James Kirk as a sleazy womaniser is part of a conscious effort to erase that history and render the franchise’s roots palatable to the misogynistic geekboys of the modern SF/F fandom.
For a summary of those points, see “Star Trek’s Underappreciated Feminist History” by Shannon Mizzi, which draws from Patricia Vettel-Becker’s “Space and the Single Girl: Star Trek, Aesthetics, and 1960s Femininity”.
And a gentle reminder that TOS was a Desilu production, which its board of directors voted to cancel after the second pilot due to cost concerns, a vote that Chairman Lucille Ball overruled. There is no Star Trek without Lucille Ball.
there’s no such thing as a fake geek girl and there never has been.
Oh wow, I actually didn’t know about the Lucille Ball connection!
12 EasyThings White People Can Do Today
–Reblog and retweet black people, keep their words visible and at the top of people’s minds. –Reblog and retweet useful statistics after confirming they are reliable to the best of your ability. –Use Alton Sterling and Philando Castile’s names. –Don’t reblog videos or photos of black people being violently killed. –Tell white people who are speaking with racism/bigotry/hate to stop. Challenge them. Don’t leave the fight to your black friends alone. –Contact your lawmakers and demand comprehensive police reform. You can use the tools at http://www.joincampaignzero.org/#campaign to get started as well as http://whoismyrepresentative.com/ –Contact your preferred presidential candidates’ campaigns and ask for comprehensive police reform as part of their platform for the presidency. –Be there for black friends, family members, and acquaintances if they need you, but don’t shove/pressure them to talk or to listen to what you have to say. Just be there and try to do whatever they ask you to do to help. Recognize that different people will have different needs and do your best to balance between the friends who need a nice chill space with cuddly animals, the friends who need someone to go to the grocery store for them, and the friends who need vocal support. –Speak out wherever and however you can, but do so without drowning out black voices. –Recognize the ways in which other aspects of systemic racism are also violent/contribute to the murder of black people. Talk about those too. –Don’t ask or expect black people to tell you what else you can do, but if they do, listen to them about it. –Acknowledge the ways in which our privilege lets us act and speak out in ways that endanger us less than others and do it where you can. Acknowledge the work and cost of speaking out for black people and other poc affected by police brutality.

Y’know I reblogged this a bit ago and was saved from financial probation and getting kicked out of school because of it, just mere months from graduation. Got a call from the financial aid advisor telling me that they made a mistake with filing my account (or some other sort of clerical error) and said that, basically, they owe me money. Welp.
Last time I reblogged the money cat, I won two $100 gift cards at work.
Someone please send me at least 12 green cats.
I appreciate the cat meaning chart in this go around of it.

“When I was 26, I went to Indonesia and the Philippines to do research for my first book, No Logo. I had a simple goal: to meet the workers making the clothes and electronics that my friends and I purchased. And I did. I spent evenings on concrete floors in squalid dorm rooms where teenage girls—sweet and giggly—spent their scarce nonworking hours. Eight or even 10 to a room. They told me stories about not being able to leave their machines to pee. About bosses who hit. About not having enough money to buy dried fish to go with their rice.
They knew they were being badly exploited—that the garments they were making were being sold for more than they would make in a month. One 17-year-old said to me: “We make computers, but we don’t know how to use them.”
So one thing I found slightly jarring was that some of these same workers wore clothing festooned with knockoff trademarks of the very multinationals that were responsible for these conditions: Disney characters or Nike check marks. At one point, I asked a local labor organizer about this. Wasn’t it strange—a contradiction?
It took a very long time for him to understand the question. When he finally did, he looked at me like I was nuts. You see, for him and his colleagues, individual consumption wasn’t considered to be in the realm of politics at all. Power rested not in what you did as one person, but what you did as many people, as one part of a large, organized, and focused movement. For him, this meant organizing workers to go on strike for better conditions, and eventually it meant winning the right to unionize. What you ate for lunch or happened to be wearing was of absolutely no concern whatsoever.
This was striking to me, because it was the mirror opposite of my culture back home in Canada. Where I came from, you expressed your political beliefs—firstly and very often lastly—through personal lifestyle choices. By loudly proclaiming your vegetarianism. By shopping fair trade and local and boycotting big, evil brands.
These very different understandings of social change came up again and again a couple of years later, once my book came out. I would give talks about the need for international protections for the right to unionize. About the need to change our global trading system so it didn’t encourage a race to the bottom. And yet at the end of those talks, the first question from the audience was: “What kind of sneakers are OK to buy?” “What brands are ethical?” “Where do you buy your clothes?” “What can I do, as an individual, to change the world?”
Fifteen years after I published No Logo, I still find myself facing very similar questions. These days, I give talks about how the same economic model that superpowered multinationals to seek out cheap labor in Indonesia and China also supercharged global greenhouse-gas emissions. And, invariably, the hand goes up: “Tell me what I can do as an individual.” Or maybe “as a business owner.”
The hard truth is that the answer to the question “What can I, as an individual, do to stop climate change?” is: nothing. You can’t do anything. In fact, the very idea that we—as atomized individuals, even lots of atomized individuals—could play a significant part in stabilizing the planet’s climate system, or changing the global economy, is objectively nuts. We can only meet this tremendous challenge together. As part of a massive and organized global movement.
The irony is that people with relatively little power tend to understand this far better than those with a great deal more power. The workers I met in Indonesia and the Philippines knew all too well that governments and corporations did not value their voice or even their lives as individuals. And because of this, they were driven to act not only together, but to act on a rather large political canvas. To try to change the policies in factories that employ thousands of workers, or in export zones that employ tens of thousands. Or the labor laws in an entire country of millions. Their sense of individual powerlessness pushed them to be politically ambitious, to demand structural changes.
In contrast, here in wealthy countries, we are told how powerful we are as individuals all the time. As consumers. Even individual activists. And the result is that, despite our power and privilege, we often end up acting on canvases that are unnecessarily small—the canvas of our own lifestyle, or maybe our neighborhood or town. Meanwhile, we abandon the structural changes—the policy and legal work— to others.”

“Clever youth turned down the immortal elders’ offer to cure death, sleep, and fatigue. Those that accepted had no excuse to stop working.” -QuietPineTrees
Vampire the Masquerade explained.
That thing about how cats think humans are big kittens is a myth, y’know.
It’s basically born of false assumptions; folks were trying to explain how a naturally solitary animal could form such complex social bonds with humans, and the explanation they settled on is “it’s a displaced parent/child bond”.
The trouble is, cats aren’t naturally solitary. We just assumed they were based on observations of European wildcats - but housecats aren’t descended from European wildcats. They’re descended from African wildcats, which are known to hunt in bonded pairs and family groupings, and that social tendency is even stronger in their domesticated relatives. The natural social unit of the housecat is a colony: a loose affiliation of cats centred around a shared territory held by alliance of dominant females, who raise all of the colony’s kittens communally.
It’s often remarked that dogs understand that humans are different, while cats just think humans are big, clumsy cats, and that’s totally true - but they regard us as adult colonymates, not as kittens, and all of their social behaviour toward us makes a lot more sense through that lens.
They like to cuddle because communal grooming is how cats bond with colonymates - it establishes a shared scent-identity for the colony and helps clean spots that they can’t easily reach on their own.
They bring us dead animals because cats transport surplus kills back to the colony’s shared territory for consumption by pregnant, nursing, or sick colonymates who can’t easily hunt on their own. Indeed, that’s why they kill so much more than they individually need - it’s not for fun, but to generate enough surplus kills to sustain the colony’s non-hunting members.
They’re okay with us messing with their kittens because communal parenting is the norm in a colony setting, and us being colonymates in their minds automatically makes us co-parents.
It’s even why many cats are so much more tolerant toward very small children, as long as those children are related to one of their regular humans: they can tell the difference between human adults and human “kittens”, and your kittens are their kittens.
Basically, you’re going to have a much easier time getting a handle on why your cat does why your cat does if you remember that the natural mode of social organisation for cats is not as isolated solitary hunters, but as a big communal catpile - and for that purpose, you count as a cat.
