It's so, SO important to share success stories like this. I know an actual JPL engineer who doesn't believe in climate change because, "you never hear about acid rain anymore."
He thinks climate change can be lumped in with acid rain and the ozone layer of "things that were overblown and not really important because no one talks about it anymore."
It didn't even occur to him that we actively fixed the problem. Here's the EPA page on acid rainfall.
From the page:
It's also important to talk about success stories tonfuel hope that we can overcome current and future conservation and environmental issues.
We fixed the hole in the Ozone layer too.
I wish I could take this post, go back in time, and shove it in the face of literally everyone.
All of these problems are fixable
I wanted to share this: WE FIGURED OUT HOW TO BRING BACK DEAD CORAL!!! By using sounds of living coral to attract fish.
Coral can be saved!!! This planet is way more resilient than we give it credit for. And we don't give humans enough flowers for stopping the harm billionaires cause.
shout out to everyone who participated in the january-february mass depressive episode
late but important
all goofing aside I genuinely donât understand the urge to reimagine Taylor Allison Swift as a secretly queer icon when the pop music scene⢠is like. literally overflowing with women who actually like women. Gaga and Kesha and Miley and Halsey are right there. Rina Sawayama and Hayley Kiyoko and Rebecca Black and Kehlani and Victoria MonĂŠt and Miya Folick if youâre willing to get slightly less top 100. Janelle and Demi for them nonbinary takes on liking girls. like what are we doing here. like Iâm not even saying you canât enjoy Taylor but why would you hang all your little gay hopes on her.
Isnât Lady Gaga bisexual?
yes that is indeed why sheâs on the list of famous women who like women
why have multiple people reblogged this with some horse-assed âum actually most of these people are bi or panâ did I fucking stutter I said they like girls. what is your point. Iâm going to kill you.
#op probably has this post muted but the icon is too real.
the icon is because of this post

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
post redeemed I love you haiku-bot
biphobia so strong people would rather pretend straight taylor is a queer icon, the accept openly bi singers as queer icons

daily reminder that 'porn addiction' is a myth perpetuated by far right evangelical groups.
As long as your porn consumption is not interfering with your work or social life, it's considered normal.
Actual psychology research shows that people who identify as 'porn addicts' don't actually consume more porn than average. What do they have in common? They were raised to view sex as shameful.
https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2020-04888-001
The only missing link in this article is that itâs based on self-reporting. How is self-reporting linked to diagnosis? Are doctors diagnosing patients based on self-reporting alone? How hard is it to ask how porn is ruining someoneâs life?
Hey Im a psychology major, "porn addiction" is actually not a diagnosis that doctors give. It's not included in the DSM-5 at all!
This is largely because peer reviewed science on the subject doesn't support that it's a real mental illness on its own. Sadly all the top google results though, are evangelical organizations posing as "scientific" to spread the idea that porn addiction is a real problem... they're just anti-sex. Which is why its so important to combat their VERY well funded misinformation campaigns.
OP is getting so muck hate for this post that in no way says the children should be given access to porn by people that keep accusing them of wanting to give children access to porn
Despite hanging out with fellow perverts every day, I have only met one single âporn addictâ in my entire life.
Said person was simply depressed and clinging to anything that could make them feel good. If not masturbation, it would have been anything else that could accomplish that.
Yep! Clinincally, compulsive porn consumption IS a thing and its generally considered a symptom of depression. (though it can happen with other mental illness too, like OCD)
Treatment focuses on relieving said depression, because experience has shown that calling depressed people "porn addicts" and putting them into anti porn treatment programs christian conversion therapies makes both problems MUCH WORSE
"porn addiction" isnt a diagnosis or a symptom recognized by doctors.
"compulsive porn consumption" is not a diagnosis, but it is a symptom!
hope that makes sense
Masturbation releases dopamine which can push back against the brain chemistry of depression. Not as well as actual medication, but sometimes you have to make do with the tools you have available.
Definitely true! If i had to guess, I'd say that most depressed people who masturbate for relief are still not doing so in a maladaptive way.
Behavior is only considered compulsive when the compulsion overrides or prevents daily life. Such as, regularly turning down opportunities to connect with friends and family in favor of masturbation...as well as missing school or work.
As you can imagine this symptom isn't actually all that common. Definitely not as common as "porn addict" advocates would have people believe.
Masturbation in moderation can actually be a really healthy outlet for most people, especially when faced with alternatives such as self harm or substance abuse.
Theres honestly a lot of bad propaganda about abuse in the porn industry too. Ever since covid, most porn stars switched to direct to consumer platforms like fansly or onlyfans. That means most porn is now directed and controlled directly by the women and queer people who perform in it.
Even with studios? I've worked with studios and have always been treated with professionalism, this is the most common experience my peers report.
But "sex worker has fun on set with respectful studio" doesn't make money as a documentary...so people who don't work in the industry only hear the very worst. Abuse happens in every industry, the spotlight it gets in sex work is....disproportionate. In my opinion, due to people's distain for the existence of sex workers and porn in general.
Criticism of abusive people and studios in this industry IS important...so why do critics never name specific problem studios? They want porn banned, not made safer.
http://www.wsj.com/articles/BL-LB-51793 This is honest to god one of the funniest things I think I have ever seen. The idea of giving a baby a theme party based on a local personal injury attorney is something i am so jealous of I dont know how to properly put it into words. Also the fact that the lawyer didnât come to the party somehow makes it even funnier.
this is the kind of content i came here for
he didnt come to the party because he sees the baby as a future opponent
what the fuck
I admit I donât know how a childâs brain works but as an adult the greatest sign of respect I feel capable of giving a child is to act as if they are prophesized to destroy me when they come of age.
aren't gorillas gentle giants or something. i stay out of his way, he doesn't maul me, we have a nice time picking out clothes together in opposite sides of the mall
Male gorillas are super aggressive and territorial. Also they interpret nearly every human mannerism as a sign of aggression or a challenge. Smiling and eye contact are both things that zookeepers have to be taught to suppress when theyâre in the vicinity of gorillas.
Well unless the mall is his native territory I think I'm fine, I wasn't planning on smiling at him
This is all irrelevant because the obvious answer is five black mambas. I mean, thatâs not actually very many snakes, and malls are fucking huge. And unlike a gorilla you can definitely outrun a snake if it does show up. Find an open space in the mall where you can see any snake coming and just hangout out there. Fucking easy.
Misguided! I would much rather have a mallmate I can easily see and hear coming. I'm confident I can stay out of the gorilla's way, but if I step on a snake or one otherwise gets the jump on me, it's all over.
It's not just about the physical danger either, it's about my mental health. One gorilla, unless he's actively mad at me, I just keep a healthy distance between us and make sure I never get trapped. With the snakes, it requires a lot more constant vigilance
They should substitute "chimpanzee" for "gorilla" in this hypothetical.
if it was a chimp i'm taking the fucking snakes
Black mambas have a reputation build on being very venomous and very fast. I'm not sure why you would think you could outrun one (or five) in an enclosed space like a mall.
Malls usually have pretty slick floors, and escalators. Iâd choose the gorilla simply because I think that would make an more interesting story (and a better-selling autobiography, I Survived the Mall Gorilla) but I think Iâd stand a pretty good chance at avoiding the mamba. Theyâre fast and aggressive and will chase you but unless we started immediately beside each other I think my sneakers would have the terrain advantage over scutes.
this is too good to leave hidden in the replies

if you excuse the bad editing it would look like this
who wore it better?
they both wore it gayly and now they're gonna make out
Why's everyone always gotta pit two bad bitches against one another
have i ever told yâall about the greatest moment of my academic career
i was a freshman in college and i had this history teacher who was ~edgy~ and his hotness level on ratemyprofessor was off the charts and he was the first teacher i ever heard use the word âfuck.â anyway he would do this thing every so often where weâd have a âquizâ and the first two questions were always really easy and the last one was hard - they were all similar questions, and the point was to show what you learn about history and what you donât.Â
so one day heâs like okay kids time for a quiz and the first question was who killed abraham lincoln. the second question was who killed JFK. third question was who killed william mckinley.Â
we all take a few minutes and write down our answers, and then the teacher asks the questions again so we can shout out the answers. everybody answered the first two with really no problem.
now, keep in mind that this class was at 9 a.m. and i was exhausted All The Time during my freshman year of college so i sat in the back in my sweats and never said a word and the teacher definitely had no clue who i was.Â
so you can imagine his surprise when he asked the class who shot william mckinley and without missing a beat i said, âczolgosz,â pronounced correctly and everything.Â
my teacher froze and in a very stern voice asked, âwhat was that? what did someone just say?â
i repeated: czolgosz.
my teacher:Â âwho said that?â
i raised my hand, and my super cool history teacher glared at me. he then asked me how the hell i knew the answer. he said that in the TWENTY YEARS heâd been teaching this stupid class, nobody, not A SINGLE PERSON, had ever known the answer to that question.
i then had to quietly explain to a room full of people that thereâs a musical called assassins and thereâs a song about czolgosz shooting william mckinley at the great pan american exposition in buffaloooooooo (in buffaloooooooo)
The arts are important.
I shocked a teacher once because I could recite the preamble to the US Constitution (got bonus points to), She asked why Iâd taken it upon myself to memorize it. I had to explain it was in a School House Rock songâŚ.
I shocked church with my âmath skillsâ when they were asking how many seconds in a minute, minutes in an hour, hours in a day, days in a year, now how about minutes in a year - and I call out five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes without pausing to think, cos Rent
Once aced a religion class pop quiz that asked me to list all of Jacobâs sons since theyâre the names of the 12 tribes of Israel. The one and only time Iâve been thankful for Andrew Lloyd Webber. I even got points for getting the birth order correct.
My little brother got extra points in a social studies class once for knowing âO Canadaâ in its entirely (weâre American and grew up in Maryland, for context) because my older sister went to undergrad in Maine and her acapella group learned the Canadian National Anthem could sing it whenever the hockey teams played Canadian teams.
Who says the arts donât have real world benefits?
When i was in high school, my history teacher asked what historic technology caused the biggest alteration in military tactics. I answered stirrups, and explained that the ability to brace against the horse to use a weapon and the better maneuverability vs a chariot created the entire concept of cavalry, which led to modern tactics, etc. The teacher said I was the first student to ever give that answer and that I was basically correct, and then asked where I had found that out. I then had to explain I had read it in a Star Trek novel.
My APUS teacher in HS made a deal with all his students: if you get an A on the first test of the year, your lowest test for the year gets dropped. He said he almost never had students get Aâs on the first test.
I was one of 3 kids in APUS my year to get an A on our first exam (all three were in my class because we were NERDS). When the test scores came in he called the tree of us up to his desk and said heâd never had THREE kids in the same class make Aâs on the test and that either we were REALLY smart or REALLY good at cheating (we sat in 3 of the corners of the room so we werenât copying off eachother or anything).
I donât think I ever told him that I got an A on the first 2 tests because one of my favorite cartoons when I was a kid was Libertyâs Kids and I had the series on DVD and literally watched it to study for the test.
You know the thing about the songs part of this is that humans have been using poetry and songs to remember large numbers and historical facts since the dawn of time, and I honestly think itâs insane that we donât value that as a culture anymore to the degree that teachers are surprised by it
You know what they say, you snooze you lose. And it looks like, you snost and you lost.

wow. wrote a full sentence. im a god. im done for the day
okay tumblrâs exclusion from the twitter social media ban list is hilarious but genuinely we do not belong on there. if a real human person asks âwhere can i find you on social mediaâ and your choice is a swift death or revealing your tumblr, most of us would simply expire. half of yâall change urls every week like youâre in witness protection. just imagine for one second attaching your wholeass government name to your latest two am clownposting and tell me that didnât send a cold chill down your spine. the only place i ever want to see the words âconnect with me on tumblr!â is on the ao3 profile of an author iâm actively stalking. anyone in the world can follow me except anyone i personally know. antisocial media.
fully obsessed with the people in the notes who are like âi donât know what yâall are worried about đ i simply curate an entire dummy tumblr account connected to a different email address where i reblog a regular stream of cute animals and aesthetic pictures of old buildings and then give that url out insteadâ like theyâre maintaining a deep cover identity for a cold war spy. completely normal behavior.
