Regular reminder that there’s literally nothing stopping white people from enjoying their own heritages and that all that bonehead noise about how “the SJWs” are gonna come after you because you wanna learn Irish or you think Vikings are cool is just straight-up a lie.
Y’know what robs white people of culture? White supremacy does. And you can take that to the fuckin bank.
This post caused a lot of controversy in the Neo-Nazi community
What is going on with the world??
In a move that has sparked outcry from archaeologists, historians and locals, the Peruvian government has approved a multi-billion international airport near the famed site of Machu Picchu, Peru’s single most important tourist destination. Bulldozers have begun to clear millions of tons of earth for the project, which will be located in Chinchero, a picturesque Inca town.
Building the airport in this location will destroy an ancient landscape, one shaped by the Incan people with terraces and routes.
Critics also suggest that planes flying low over the nearby village of Ollantaytambo and its archaeological park filled with ruins and a massive Inca fortress with large stone terraces, would cause incalculable damage to fragile Inca ruins there and destroy the peace and beauty of the area.
The new airport will make access to the site much easier, and thus encourage greater numbers than ever before to visit.
But Machu Picchu is already overwhelmed by almost double the limit of tourists as recommended by UNESCO. [see also India’s Taj Mahal - an incredible site simply reeling under a relentless, ineffectively managed tourist, both domestic and international, onslaught]
It’s the constant battle between protecting the past and profiteering from it.

terf logic is literally nonsensical like…excuse me?? “i can’t wait to abolish gender so we can continue to separate everyone out by their chromosomes just like it was under patriarchy”……….alright
me waiting in the line for the bathroom to get my karyotype tested every single time so I can be approved to go into whatever restroom, post Gender Abolition
And then you have to add doors for X0 (Turner syndrome), XXX (Triple-X syndrome), XXY (Klinefelter syndrome), XYY (Jacobs syndrome), and more. All of these are well-documented, easily-tested, medical fact. People with XX chromosomes can have broad shoulders and a penis (de la Chapelle syndrome) and people with XY chromosomes can have wide hips and a vagina (Swyer syndrome). And that’s not bringing gender into it at all: that’s purely looking at the physical body that people are born with.
Genetics is way more complicated than XX and XY. If you want to claim “it’s just biology!” at least learn your biology first.
Unions are trash. Theyll Destroy a whole company for firing a shitty worker.
unions are the reason you aren’t paid 2.50 an hour with steel beams about to bust ya head open shut up lol
Unions are why you have 5 day, 40 hour full-time work weeks. Unions are why they have to pay you in actual dollars instead of “company credits” that you can only spend at the company-owned stores. Unions are why there are fucking fire exits at your place of work. Unions are why it’s not okay for your supermarket ground beef to be any percentage human.
You think your company pays you out of the goodness of their hearts? Or even out of “market pressure?” The “job market” is a myth perpetuated by the capitalists. Corporations would pay you nothing if they could get away with it. And you argue “oh, but if they paid me nothing I’d just go to another one.” Wrong. Because to maximize profits, they all want to pay you nothing. Corporations exist to maximize profits while reducing risk for investors. It’s part of their entire function to find ways to cut costs as much as possible, and that includes finding ways to pay you nothing.
Unions are your defense against that. You think all a union does is strike? If you pay union dues, a lot of that is spent on lobbyists in various governments reminding your lawmakers that you have rights as a living human being that a corporation should not be able to stomp all over. Unions hire lawyers so that if you’re fired for bullshit reasons, the union can stand up for you against your boss. They’re called unions because workers are uniting to pool resources so that they can stand up to these corporate overlords with more money than God. Unions exist because you might not have the words, resources, or time to fight workplace injustices all by yourself. That’s the whole fucking point.
And if a business shuts down because a union is striking, it’s because the business was abusing people and didn’t deserve to be in business anyway. Don’t make excuses for the corporations. They already have trillions of dollars and a couple million lawyers to do that for themselves. They don’t need your help.
All that and also, the idea that unions go to war whenever anything is done to any employee even for good reason, is: a lie. It’s the same PR scam as the “old lady sued McDonald’s for millions because her coffee was hot” shit. The *company* is the one that wants you to believe, just because they said so, that the firing was legit and the employee’s fault. But guess what? Doesn’t happen. When someone is fired for refusing or failing to do their job, the other employees are *relieved*, because they’ve been the ones catching the consequences. Look a bit closer, and you find the union’s strike responds to OUTRAGEOUS moves, either “she got cancer and it would have been a drag on the company to finance her sick leave”, or “we made profit this year but not enough to our liking, so we’re cutting off 10% of the workers to pocket more”…
People who are anti-union are straight up brainwashed.
Labor outnumbers the capitalists. They want us disassembled to make us easier to abuse.
How chronic pain affects the senses
When you need to put captions on the tv, and cant hear what people are saying because the pain is “too loud”
When you need to close your eyes, or look away because it physically hurts to see, or youre too tired to use your eyes right now. Or the pain is “too bright”.
When you cant be touched, brushed against, wear clothes or blankets because the pain makes you too sensitive, and “even air can hurt”
When you cant enjoy eating or the taste of things because you cant ignore the pain and fatigue that comes with chewing/swallowing/after affects of eating/picking up and putting down utensils. So pain literally makes food “hard to taste/hard to eat”
When smelling things immediately make you sick, migraine, make the pain worse because inhaling and exhaling are actually too much and the smell makes you overstimulated and thus makes it so “youre in too much pain to handle that smell”
We need to talk more about how pain affects our senses, these arent anything to be ashamed of. If you suffer from this, im sorry but i want you to know what youre going through isnt fake, it is very very real. And it sucks.
Your valid, your struggle is valid, i believe you and i believe in you.
im gonna keep saying this until you all get it through your thick skulls: trans men and cis men are not comparable.
you can spout “trans men are men” all you want, and while that sentiment is nice and true and all, it is not that black and white. other trans people and trans allies view us as men, but does the transphobic society we live in view us as men? no. i’m a dysphoric binary trans man who does all that he can to pass, and even people who know i’m trans, still view me as a woman. i still face misogyny as a trans man because if someone were to find out about my agab they would view me as a woman and not a man.
if you want an example of casual misogyny against trans men in society: the new abortion laws. they affect trans men too, and if you say that trans men are affected by them but don’t believe trans men face misogyny then that is a contradictory statement.
and before anybody wants to derail the meaning behind this post with “stop acting as if trans men have it worse than trans women”, that is not what im saying at all. we know damn well trans women, especially trans women of colour, have some much more to deal with. if you want an example: there is a huge difference between hate groups like te//rfs viewing trans men as women with internalised misogyny and literally wanting trans women dead.
this is also not me saying trans men who are misogynistic are exempt from criticism on this. we wouldn’t allow a misogynistic cis woman to get away with that behaviour would we? so trans men are no exception. im just saying that it is the fault of a misogynistic society that a trans man would think that way, not because he is a man.
masculinity is not inherently toxic. toxic masculinity is. learn the difference before you cause anymore trans men internalised transphobia.
tldr; trans men are men but we do not hold the same societal power as cis men and acting as if we do is only causing us harm by erasing our struggles.
this is okay to rb but non-trans mascs do not fucking add anything. im sick to death of yall trying to talk over us on our experiences.
te//rfs, tru//scum, transm//isogynists and other lgbt+phobes don’t fucking touch this
hey heres some trans gay positivity!

how can ppl say cats are heartless tbh
I once stayed at a game reserve in South Africa, and they had three cheetahs – two males and one female. The boys stuck together (they were brothers), but female cheetahs are solitary, save for when they are raising cubs. Which is hard work for cheetahs, because they don’t/can’t den, she’s working constantly to protect/move her cubs, as well as feeding both them and herself.
Now, these cheetahs ARE in a private reserve, but they’re still essentially wild. But they are more or less accustomed to the presence of people. And this cheetah, Ketswiri, got very badly injured in her leg one time, which usually would be fatal to a cheetah. The staff at the reserve helped her. Another time, she was starving, and they provided her a fresh antelope carcass. And she remembered this, because the science officer was telling us how one time he was watching Ketswiri and her cubs, and she wandered over and dumped all her cubs at his feet, and walked off. Like “watch my kids, I need some me time.” And he was panicking like COME BACK I CAN’T BABYSIT YOUR KIDS WTF
Half of the comments are about cats giving birth on top of or next to their owners and I’m not crying at all
it’s so funny though because domesticated cats are aggressively social in raising their young so basically op’s cat was like bitch these are your kids too, where tf you think you’re going???
A long time ago there was a stray cat that visited us pretty often. She kinda became our cat. She got pregnant, and gave birth in a little hole under our AC unit outside.
One night it started pouring down rain. Me and my parents were kinda worried because we were sure that their little den would flood. So we pulled back the blinds to our sliding glass door.
Low and behold there’s mama cat, sitting on our patio and staring up at us, desperation in her eyes. She meowed at us and when we went out she led us to her babies. We were right- their nest had started flooding. We pulled them out and brought them inside, and mama seemed so relieved and happy.
I think about this a lot when people say cats are stupid, or heartless. She knew to come to us for help. She knew we would help her. Even if we hadn’t went to look I’m sure she would have screamed at the door loud enough for us to know something was wrong.
Cats are amazing, wonderful creatures.
My cat gave birth on my bed. She raised her kittens in my room and trusted me enough to do that.
Another time I was crying and one of my cats, who isn’t usually the affectionate sort, came and sat in my lap, purring and rubbing his head against me.
I will fight anyone who says cats are evil and heartless
My girl Brendan gave birth on my bed, while my husband and I AND THE DOG were all in it. She had settled on my legs and slowly pushed them apart, so by the time she queened, she was between my knees. The dog was her midwife.
“God” is control, not love.
sick! of not living in a cottage with the love of my life and our several large dogs!
oh and can cis people stop announcing which of their friends are trans?
i have no fucking need to know who is or is not trans, all youve done is outed them and proved to me that i cant trust you. the first thing i find out about your friend shouldnt be that they trans. actually i should never find that out about your friend from you
sick and tired of cis people using my existence near them as a diversity token. stop telling me about your childhood friend whose trans. stop telling me their deadname. all that does is show me that you’ll tell the next stranger my deadname and how im trans and it makes me feel physically sick
cis people can reblog this as long as you dont demand i fucking coddle you and forgive you for outing trans people to strangers

Johnny cash is kind of a thot huh
Just an FYI for those in the US with insurance issues
Important information! Insurance coverage decisions are made by medically ignorant bean-counters. Until we can dismantle the whole shitty system, know how to scare them into submission.
This is like that procedure Mr. Incredible told that old lady
Despite being called a chimp(and looking nothing like one), i like to think that Grookey’s based on a pygmy marmoset
