Tbh the concept of ghosts to explain various phenomena always pisses me off because often is misdirects from actually important problems that don’t get enough consideration like infrasound, really messed up electrical problems, nervous system issues (particularly if you feel like youve been touched, personally i feel like i get “touched” often because my nerves pinch often and it feels basically the same to me), and just the fact that it is extremely normal to have hallucinations

be careful with what series you watch/read during emotional points in your life because they will forever contain a ghost of your past self within it now

idk i would personally rather give up access to certain products seasonally or locally than have people enslaved to give me the ability to have any product any place any time. i think i can go without tomatoes in january.

[nyantara]

i wish buy local or seasonal meant something to do with ethics but tbh most agriculture in the us is also farmed by immigrant seasonal labor in conditions that with the growing weaponisation of ICE raids by farmowners is much like the kafala system. the part of the supply chain where tomatoes get shipped from florida or southern california are like the least enslaved human labour parts of it.

[nyantara]

In a study published July 2023 in Nature, researchers at the University of Nottingham Rights Lab and the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University calculated the risk of forced labor across all aspects of the U.S. food supply, excluding seafood. They found that most forced labor risks came from animal-based proteins, processed fruits and vegetables, and discretionary foods – products such as sweeteners, coffee, wine, and beer. They also found that 62 percent of forced labor risk came from production or processing that occurs on US soil. The study notes that characteristics such as poverty, language barriers, and uncertain immigration status could render individuals at higher risk for forced labor in the US.

Forced labour risk is pervasive in the US land-based food supply - Nature Food

The elimination of forced labour (Sustainable Development Goal 8.7) is a priority for the sustainability of food systems. Using data on prod

and basically avoid chocolate. almost all chocolate involves slave labor, including the chocolate that advertised itself as slavery free.

nodding my head to show that i approve of all the shitty things this character has done because i'm a bad person

the thing about being bullied for being weird as a kid is that even if you've always embraced being weird your brain is still always looking for the line where it's too much. you can be as proudly and intentionally weird as you want and you can love being weird but your mind is still convinced there's a point where you get too weird and people start treating you like a weird looking bug again. also it feels like you reach that point 500 times a day even if everyone you've spoken to today found you pleasant and likable and even if you're completely alone in your house with nobody looking at you at all.

men make it absolutely impossible to practice humility

[gothhabiba]

what you say: “I think this is the case”

what men hear: “I have no idea whatsoever, but here’s a totally random guess”

what you say: “I’m not an expert on this subject”

what men hear: “I don’t know anything about this subject and need its bare fundamentals explained to me”

what you say: “I could be better read in this area”

what men hear: “I have never read anything in this area”

[gothhabiba]

like okay fuck it nevermind I’m actually an expert in every subject I’ve ever read or heard about. in fact I know everything.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

If anyone's ever wondering why I come across as such an arrogant bitch on Tumblr it's because I used to work in science with a lot of men and never readjusted my communication style afterward.

[respectissexy]

This is one of my biggest seemingly low-stakes feminist soapboxes. Women are often encouraged to take hedging, consensus-seeking, and checking-in phrases out of their speech in order to seem "more confident". And listen, of course you do not need to say "I think" when you actually know for pretty damn sure, or double-check every little thing you say, or apologize for things that are out of your control.

But there are men in my life who I respect, who I think are generally good communicators, but who have admitted to me that if they do not know the answer to something they will just state their best guess in a confident tone of voice, with no hedging or clarification to warn the listener that what they just said was pulled from their ass.

I once asked my high school boyfriend what noise a platypus makes and he confidently told me "oh they quack" and I said "really? that seems like they'd have different noise-making structures than ducks since they're not birds" and he said "oh yeah you're probably right. I was just guessing." And had no idea why I was mad! I was like, so if I ask you a question you might just bullshit me?? What if I had believed you and gone and repeated that to other people? I could have looked like an idiot. I could have spread misinformation to a ton of people! But I have told that story to other men and had them say "oh yeah I totally do that."

This is so much worse communication than just saying "I don't know but I think..." There shouldn't be campaigns training professional women to sound "more confident," there should be campaigns training professional MEN to stop doing whatever THAT is!

have some fun vivienne facts!

if the inquisitor romances dorian, vivienne receives a letter from an acquaintance in tevinter expressing shock at the “disturbing rumors” of their relationship, and vivienne responds by ripping the acquaintance a new one

repeatedly expresses sorrow at civilian deaths (”the defenseless are always the first casualties of war”)

cole said this about her harrowing “no, I will not fall, no one will control me ever again…shaking, hollow, harrowed but smiling at templars to show them i’m me, i am not like that”

despite her insistence that cole is a demon, she was worried for him

unlike solas, she is afraid of demons

finds it delightful that varric is writing a story with her as the villain

“my dear, if i didn’t want people to fear me I wouldn’t dress like this”

wants to send a sternly worded letter to varric’s tailor

was born in wycome 

has read hard in hightown

“i am the most dangerous thing in the room, darling”

treats bull like a favorite son and teaches him to dance

bull compares her to a qunari dreadnought, which she enjoys

greatly admired divine justinia

sees templars as a useful tool

“that which makes you different can be a burden or a source of strength”

was taken to the circle at such a young age that she doesn’t remember her parents

passes information on to sera and the friends of red jenny

worries for dorian’s safety in trying to reform the imperium, tells him to be careful

[stars-collected]

I’m sure someone’s added how distressed she is about the tranquil when you find out it’s their skulls being used for the occularum, but she gets so upset about it :( Vivienne :(

[in-the-drowning-deep]

pisses Sera off on purpose during Trespasser to stop her from panicking and calm her down

frets about a high approval Inquisitor and tells them to “make sure you’re still standing when the dust settles”
