god bless all petty thieves

Man, I've been hating on ai for free! Where do I sign up for Chinese funding?

i swear if this is the second stupid sword picture post i make that gets to 10k i'll just go kill someone

I miss my leeches for all the normal pet reasons but I also miss being able to use them as a one-hit death blow to end stupid conversations. Whenever I defend the ecological importance of parasites someone will inevitably crawl up and go “well I bet you wouldn’t feel that way if you had them” and oooooo boy let me tell you. It was so fun to hit back with “I DO” and then whip out my phone and show them 30 pictures of my fucking Worms

How many times have you contracted lime disease

Only once

actually insane that I had to explain the ecological importance of ticks + mosquitoes to my ~50yo coworker. "I wish they all would disappear, they don't do anything" "actually ticks and mosquitoes help with population control and mosquitoes pollinate some plants!" "oh really? I didn't know they did anything I thought they were just annoying and extra" GIRL. DID YOU NOT PAY ATTENTION IN MIDDLE SCHOOL SCIENCE CLASS. did you not learn about the importance of parasites in an ecosystem

had a bad low blood pressure moment last night and messily asked my partner for saltines and water before realizing i should probably ask for the Blood Pressure Medication I Need To Take. while they went to go grab it though i still had water and crackers so in a daze i took a swig of water but didnt swallow and then tried to cram 2 saltines in my mouth. full of water. in bed. with mouth full of water

250 years and most native tribal groups continue to not be federally recognized. Embarrassing!

Every time I read/watch something about water usage in the American west it's like 'this is obviously, mechanically, directly and observably unsustainable and already getting bad. Sadly due to an understanding hashed out over whiskey and cigars in 1920 there is simply no alternative to using 110% of the Colorado river and also approximately all of the continent's groundwater growing alfalfa and pistachios, so we're basically just fucked.'

You guys are dangerously close to realizing specifically what kinds of people they keep from voting and why.

Oh and we have privatized prisons which allow companies to actually make money off of keeping people incarcerated 

We provide the New Jim Crow as a free PDF under our social justice resources alongside several hundred other racial injustice and prison abolition resources here.

starting the countdown until gaylors start saying that Adam Sandler officiating Taylor's wedding (sorry if this is how you found out) is actually proof that it's a sham because it's a reference to I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry (2007), in which Sandler and Kevin James play heterosexual men who enter a mutually beneficial fake gay marriage, a dynamic that Taylor is inverting as a queer woman pretending to be straight while cleverly flagging the obvious farce to those with the eyes to see

funniest reactions to this post are the people asking how Adam Sandler can officiate a wedding. literally anyone can do that, basically anyone can get ordained. I'm ordained.
