to be honest im really sick of the fact that fat people are supposed to suck it up when other peoples worst fear is looking like them
They say ooooh be a good boy for daddy and you'll get a reward. But then the reward is just gay sex. This is bullshit. I wanted a skateboard
Once you become familiar with agroecology it becomes so so so infuriating how agriculture is being done the overwhelming majority of the time.
Like. Hey. Genetic diversity is good, that way your crops are less likely to be completely fulminated by disease in one clean cut. Like. Hey. Agrotoxins are bad not just because they poison people and groundwater and kill non target species in droves but because they also fuck the plant's nutrition over. Like. Hey. Monocultures are bad. Full stop. Either rotate your shit properly or arrange a stratified consortium with plants that agree with each other.
Mulch is your truest and most stalwart friend. Have faith in her.
I now realise I'm sounding like that one XKCD comic with the geologists and quartz.
Also for FUCK sake adapt your varieties TO the local climate, NOT the other way around. Semideserts aren't bad. They're arable. Just learn how the ecosystem works and plant things that can bear it, mimicking its structure. Drought is relative. Cacti are your friends. They are living water reservoirs.
"Weeds" are your friends. They're pioneers. Soil UN-fuckers. By identifying what species you can VERY reliably guess the acidity, rain frequency, fertility, and compactness of the soil, among other things. Also those things are UNDERSTUDIED. COME ON. THEY HAVE POTENTIAL.
And sometimes? The only reason invasive species get the upper hand is because the soil is WAY too fucked for the natives. You can actually use this to your advantage. Plant what grows, return the organic matter to the bloody soil, and once it's UN-fucked enough, THEN you plant more demanding natives.
Quick tutorial with beetle! (Paraphrasing Ana Primavesi) - How to create HELLHOLES. 1 - Get rid of ALL the organic matter. No plants. No mulch. Nothing. 2 - Make sure the wind can blow freely. Dry wind will suck up moisture from the earth like NOTHING else. 3 - If possible, water frequently. This will make clay seep down and create a hard-pan + salinate the soil. Now do the exact opposite. Boom.
(Exclusive to the tropics) DONNNNNNN'T FUCKING TILL THE SOIL. DON'T. As SOON as it rains the soil will get even more fucked than before. DO NOT FUCKING CALCIFY THE SOIL. YES ALUMINIUM IS TOXIC. IT IS ALSO AN ESSENTIAL AGGREGATE. USE ORGANIC MATTER. COVER it. Mulch. Mulch. Mulch. Green manure. Cover cropping. Mulch. Insulate it. Insulate it. INSULATE IT.
Diseases and pests are your FRIENDS. Let me explain. They only happen when something's wrong. Nutrient deficiencies, most usually. Sometimes it's because they're in an agroecosystem not appropriate to the species/aren't paired with the right plants. Identifying what causes what is KEY to stopping it FAR more thoroughly than any pesticide could. They are not the disease. They are a symptom.
Sometimes there's no grand cause. Sometimes it might just be because a pipe burst on your property or something.
STRATA. Plants like growing in "floors". In each other's shade. Even Pliny the Elder figured it out when looking at how things were grown in Carthage.
Why am I going on and on and on and on and on about the mulch Ad Mother Fucking Nihilum? One - aforementioned point. Insulation. Two - help your other friends, the soil critters. Bacteria, fungi, and microfauna WILL make your soil As Soily As Soil Can Be! FEED THEM. FEED THEM. FEED THEM. FEED THEM. E S P E C I A L L Y down here in the tropics where decomposition and nutrient recycling is going on at Mach Yes.
To be quite honest with you all I do think that aro/ace-spectrum fans in fandoms where people are desperately inventing crossover ships and humanizing non-human characters in order to have a conventionally attractive guy to ship the main character with, instead of possibly having to enjoy a story with no romance in it, have the right to refer to everyone else as cowards.
Sorry you almost had to entertain the idea that people like me exist, I'm sure that was very painful for you.
This post has officially reached the "Let people enjoy things" crowd so I'm just going to come right and say it: Do I or do I not also count as a people.
You can’t call yourself a leftist if you hate children tbh, like you can choose not to have them or be around them, but outright hating the most marginalised group of people in the world who have absolutely no power or control over the most basic parts of their lives and bodies is a dangerous mentality to have and you need to grow the fuck up and get out of your edgy phase and start treating everyone around you like human beings, even the ones that piss you off.
Like the older I get, the more empathy I have for children. Imagine living on this planet for less than a decade and having to figure out every single thing from scratch, only for the people around you to treat you like a living doll and constantly invalidate your feelings because you haven’t learned how to express them beyond screaming at the top of your lungs, like you’d be having meltdowns in the grocery store as well. The least you can do is offer them some grace, everything is so fucking confusing and scary and overwhelming and they’re not able to communicate that properly and no one around them is explaining shit, and they are constantly at the mercy of whether or not the terrifyingly giant adults around them CHOOSE to be kind like genuinely put yourself in the situation of a child and tell me you wouldn’t also be freaking the fuck out.
The way society treats children is borderline inhumane, and you have the audacity to call them hellspawn crotch-goblins for screaming a little bit too loud or daring to be in the same vicinity as you.
I do also believe that hating children is a sign of underlying ableism, because most of the justifications of hating children comes down to “they’re annoying” or “they don’t know how to act” or “they’re gross” and if you are unable to treat people who lack social skills, who make loud or repetitive noises, who are incontinent etc. with basic respect and dignity, then what’s the difference between hating children and hating disabled adults that share the traits you find so irritating?
I’m starting to realize we may not all be ready for Racism 102, aka “often times, you don’t think ‘I’m going to be racist,’ you just act on it.”
It does not matter what other reasons you have for being racist. It was still racist. White people lashing out on people of color when In Their Feelings About Something is still racism. White people objectifying people of color for WHATEVER reason is still racism.

“If men could get pregnant, abortion would be free” men CAN get pregnant and they’re treated worse than women who can get pregnant
oh folks really don't like being asked to consider trans men

You can’t Abstain your way to a Better World.
The Burger still gets made, even if you go Vegan. If you don’t buy it, it just winds up in the trash. If you want to do something meaningful about waste, you need legislation: It must become a crime to waste food in those ways.
If you care about Animal Cruelty in Factory Farms, you need to get legislation passed. It must become a crime to mistreat animals in those ways, and when malfeasances occurs, the onus of responsibility for those crimes must fall upon wealthy shoulders. That, also, requires legislation. It requires regulations, and regulators.
The largest source of Microplastics is wear and tear on automobile tires. It doesn’t matter what brand of shampoo you buy. It doesn’t matter which company you support with your dollar. The issue of Public Transit is too large-scale to be handled at anything less than the municipal level.
It’s not enough to just not participate in society
If you want the world to Change, you must leverage the mechanisms of political power.
You need Government.
STOP PROPOSING INDIVIDUAL SOLUTIONS TO COLLECTIVE PROBLEMS
i am not a psychiatrist but i do find it really weird how autism checklists are so often focused on "outward" signs of autism rather than what is going on internally. i don't know how to explain it but "do you make eye contact with other people" feels like a much less relevant question than "how does it feel when you have to make eye contact with other people?"
while i'm here, the other one that always pisses me off is "do you interpret idioms literally, for example 'bull in a china shop'?"
well, no, obviously. i know what "bull in a china shop" means because that is a popular phrase with a clearly defined meaning. and if i hadn't heard it before, then i would still not interpret it literally, because it has the cadence of an idiom and i would probably be able to work out from context what it meant. what is the point of this question
third and final complaint: "are you good at noticing subtext?"
i feel like the problem with this question is best illustrated by a conversation i had with a friend a while back, where i said something like, "i feel very safe with you because you don't do subtle hints and you are always very straight-up with me about what you are thinking and feeling."
and he laid a hand on my shoulder and was like, look dude i'm gonna be straight up here. i am subtle with you constantly and you simply do not notice <3
@luckyybones hope you don't mind me screenshotting but you are actually so correct
Being critical of your interests is sooooo fun when you have the critic gene & then you sound kind of insane to the average tv watcher when you're like "this is my favorite show, It's Racist" & then you try to clarify what you mean & get that [Speech (legendary) - FAILURE] "the racism is really interesting though"
[Speech (legendary) - SUCCESS] I find the sociopolitical context of pulpy old sci-fi born circa the civil rights movement really fascinating to analyze especially when it was progressive for its time but still reveals the writers' unexamined biases in the subtext
Them: So you're saying its bad and I shouldn't watch it?
Me: I mean depends on your tolerance for this type of racism, but like I said it's my favourite show, it def has some great parts if you're up for it.
Them: Oh so it's not racist.
Me: It absolutely is.
Them: So you're saying racism is ok??
Me: No.
"sex should be less stigmatized and talked about more" and "you should always make sure people who dont want to consume sexual media that you present dont have to see it" are two statements that can and should coexist. by the way.
happy fourth of july to the philippines ONLY

hi, filipino here. just want to say that our independence day is june 12, not july 4. july 4 is when the united states government decided that they would recognize our freedom, specifically because it is your independence day and they wanted to cement their cultural hegemony over our country. and because of their influence on our country this was recognized for a time as our independence day. we still commemorate it, but i hope you can understand why we don’t want our independence day to be associated so closely with our former colonizer. it wasn’t even a work holiday for us.
june 12 is the day that we filipinos declared our own independence for ourselves, and that is what we celebrate as independence day
