tumblr being all adults nowadays is so funny because my mutuals are either unemployed chainsmokers or Ezra, Bioengineering PHD Candidate at University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
one of the important lessons to learn about adult life is that the gap between an unemployed chainsmoker and a bioengineering phd candidate is actually not that large
If you’re a poor person listen spending less on things that makes you happy/only spending money on essentials will not get you out of poverty but will make you want to kill yourself
Everyone gets so mad when they see poor ppl spend money on anything other than food and rents and i gotta tell you being a “good” poor is a misery trip you’ll never please these people

how the FUCK did they make that penguin from wallace and gromit look so evil like it’s literally just a plasticine penguin but it somehow radiates Pure Malice look at it
truly character design at its finest
Part of the reason that Wallace and Gromit is so successful is that every single character is just so expressive. The people’s lips move like half a foot every frame. Gromit has basically only his eyebrows, and he has more personality than two average real people. The Moon Machine was up there with the rest of them, and it didn’t even have a face.
The penguin, on the other hand, never expressed anything at all. It’s designed almost explicitly with purpose of not expressing anything. It’s practically featureless, with only the bare minimum of detail necessary to tell you it’s a penguin. It has a face, but it never uses it. It has no sclera, meaning it stares straight ahead at all times. It actively repels most attempts to ascribe any emotion to it – at best, you can feel that it is coldly satisfied, perhaps detachedly frustrated. I’d say it’s like a robot wearing the skin of an animal, but that’s literally the villain of A Close Shave, and he was pretty expressive.
It’s like Aardman found a tiny crack in the likability curve, far away from the uncanny valley but a hell of a lot deeper, and decided to build a penguin there.
‘It’s like Aardman found a tiny crack in the likability curve, far away from the uncanny valley but a hell of a lot deeper, and decided to build a penguin there.’
This is my new favourite sentence in the English language.

academic bias is so funny because you’ll be reading about the same historical event and one person is like “Despite the troubles that befell his homeland and near constant criticism of the court King Blorbo remained strong in the face of adversity” and the other one is like “after letting his people carry the brunt of his cringefail decisions Blorbo the Shitface refused to listen to any reason and continued to be a warmongering piece of shit. Also he was ugly.”

So. Yeah, Neil Gaiman.
It’s true.
violent resistance to violent oppression wouldnt exist if there was no violent oppression in the first place. casualties of violent resistance to violent oppression are ultimately the sole blame of the violent oppressor
Nelson Mandela disagreed with everything you just said. And that's why he was able to unite a whole country
i love when you lot invent these holy meekly pacifist images in your head of people you were told youre allowed to Value and Appreciate but only as those holy meekly pacifist images spoonfed to you by your own propaganda machine and you never as a grown adult bother to google if it was all really sunshine and rainbows and care bears philosophy that affected the state of apartheid in south africa
I would not say that lawn mowers and brush cutters don't have a place in the world, but I would say that if every lawn mower and similar machinery vanished from existence tomorrow, we would suddenly notice a multitude of obvious practical uses for plots of land that were not consciously considered to be "land" at all, but rather just "space" separating two constructed things.
Like not to sound overly radical and idealistic, but maybe we don't have to use fossil-fuel-burning heavy machinery to maintain countless acres of unused land in a state scalped and exterminated of native plant life. maybe we can, like, limit our use of the pollution machine that makes land useless and barren.
maybe all the brilliant scientists of our highly advanced technological society can think of something we could possibly do with land other than "make it useless and barren using the pollution machine." Maybe somewhere in the world, someone is brilliant and visionary enough to imagine a society where "making it useless and barren using the pollution machine" is a slightly less common use of land resources
I don't know. I just think that we could figure something out if we tried really, really, really hard
area used for drainage? put wetland plants in them instead of trying to grade out a giant funnel that dumps water into a drain pipe as quickly as possible. it'll absorb excess floodwater and filter out pollutants. if it's the southeast USA, PUT RIVER CANE OH MY GOD IT'S PERFECT. Arundinaria gigantea, you can look it up. Rushes. Cattails. Horsetails. Sedges.
roadside or other area that needs to be kept relatively low? short native grasses and flowers. there's a billion of them.
Awkward leftover land next to a building? trees. if there's plumbing or power lines to worry about? more native grasses and flowers. pollinator gardens. Or grow fiber plants that can be harvested yearly and turned into fabric/baskets/mats/whatever. If the soil doesn't have anything toxic in it, you could grow food plants. Grow sunflowers, they're allelopathic and keep the weeds down. Walking paths. Solar panels. Walking paths with solar panels. Put solar panels above your parking lot while you're at it. Did i mention Arundinaria gigantea.
flowers...fruit trees...native sedges...infinite possibilities

Me, fighting a yoga mom in the organic food market circa 2023: take your hand off that peach or I’ll vaccinate your children against polio
fascinating post I made in 2018
Today I was talking with my mom about why seeing an alligator is fundamental to my mental health. At first she laughed but I got her to listen and she gets it now. My psychiatrist and I call this the alligator litmus test, and it works really well for making decisions about my treatment. I bring this up because perhaps there is something in your life that you can use in a similar fashion.
I have severe major depressive disorder, and I treat this depression with medication. I've been on meds for about... seven years now, and sometimes we have to mess with them. But sometimes the emotional part of the depression is just super bad and there's something underneath that needs to be addressed. When we are figuring this out, my psychiatrist says to take one alligator and call her in the morning.
See, no matter how bad I'm feeling, seeing an alligator almost always cheers me up in the moment. (This works with other large crocodilians, too- they gotta be big, it doesn't work with caimans. I don't know why.) I can't look at their goofy toofers and beautiful eyes and bumpy hides and not be a little wowed by them. Millions of years of evolution have led to this amazing creature and they are completely unbothered by me. Almost all of the time, they make me feel happy. Or maybe I'll feel sad for some unspecified reason. Maybe I'll get worried about the ecosystem or something- but invariably, I will FEEL.
Unless, of course, it's my brain chemistry. If I can experience an alligator and not feel anything- not happy, not sad, just numb- there's something wrong and we should talk about adjusting my meds. Usually with a little tweaking I'm back to my very functional medicated baseline in quick order- instead of wasting time with coping skills and such alone when what I really need is brain chemicals, it's a much quicker way to communicate what's going on with me. At the same time, it also helps me know when the coping skills ARE likely to work without changing up my meds, or when there's something I need to work through with some help.
It's a pretty solid test. Might not work for anyone else on the planet, but it works great for me!
