If your feminism cannot GRASP that some women want to cover up for reasons other than men sexualizing them. Then I fear your feminism is weak sauce.

Same goes for if you can’t grasp that a woman can wear ‘immodest’ clothes for anything other than men’s desire.

[psalms-and-spells]

Actually I’m going to say something even more controversial. People with weak sauce feminism hold onto your socks.

You can in fact choose whatever you wear because of men and still be feminist. One of the most badass people I know wears a full khimar and specifically does it 1. Cause she is religious, but 2. Because she says that she feels empowered because men are not owed the right to look at her body.

And you know what… she is right. Yes her choice in outfit is based on men but when you live in a patriarchal society NEWS FLASH your decision will have to consider the patriarchy in some way. Because at the end of the day misogynistic men in power will view women as less than whether they cover up or not. So the real choice is wearing whatever you think will make these men most uncomfortable and give you the best ability to fight against the patriarchy. HOWEVER that looks like to you.

one of my closest friends and mentors is my art teacher from highschool, and she talked to me a lot about how the older she gets the more shes drawn to shapeless clothes. She wore lots of loose fitting fabrics and even modified her clothes to be that way. she said she was tired of men looking at her and she wanted then to be completely unable to see her body at all. i dont see that as anything but powerful personally

that poll going around of the guy who thought "people only eat tofu as a bit because they're deranged vegans" or whatever really crystalizes something that i have never been able to precisely say - which is "a nonzero fraction of people who start picky-eater discourse just happen to precisely hate those foods which are not from north america and refuse to introspect on this whatsoever"

[tim-official]

In contrast some people say "there aren't any picky eaters in Asia 🙄" but this is laughably untrue. I have a cousin in India who refused until his 20s to eat anything in a sauce. as you can imagine in India this was difficult. he basically had to pick things out of curry and wipe them dry

this is a fun post because people will say how many they have in the tags then you get to figure out which ones.

I don't think this is an appropriate response to an article about South Asian farmers losing their teeth because temperatures are now reaching 45 Celcius.

[hagiomoto]

The average Tumblr blogger has such poor manners that even a pig would be embarrassed to bring them home to its mother.

When the Heat Steals Your Smile

After I suspected a climate connection to tooth decay, I conducted systematic saliva pH testing across my patient population and documented

okay so i think i found the article op's (and me in my tags) talking about. being exposed to over 40 celsius (120 farenheit or so) for the whole day means youre sweating a LOT (the article says rashid- the farmer at the centre of the text- drinks around 17 liters a Day. humans usually only need 3, so i presume the rest is mostly used for sweat). so much so that the organizm reroutes water from other parts of itself to not die of heatstroke - salivary glands included, which means that 1. they have very little saliva in comparison to a healthy human being 2. what little their bodies DO produce is incredibly acidic, falling to ~5.5 ph from the ideal of 7ph. Teeth dissolve. Quickly. There's a mention of someone losing 8 teeth in two years

im not reading the whole article now (headache -_-), but later on the author of the article says about 30 million people (employed in agriculture) are at risk for extreme dental health problems. 30 million people at risk of not being able to eat solid food. 30 million people at risk of not being able to find work. being able to marry. being able to be part of their community. being able to speak clearly

this is. fucking horrible feels like an understatement, but it is the best i have. this exceptionally, terribly inhumane, and the pakistan goverment's lack of a plan to adress this is embarassing

"in my socialist utopia, we will still be allowed to hunt, discriminate against, and kill a specific kind of person" <- a LOT of you for some reason

[melodies-stereo]

in MY socialist utopia, justice will not be emotionally driven... except in regards to this one type of person i really don't like and want deprived of rights and recognition

im sorry these are the funniest tags ive ever seen

[padawan-historian]

Centering Black environmental thought and indigenous medicine ways is to recognize that food deserts are not naturally occurring but designed to displace people from resources for profit. Food deserts are in fact food apartheids.

[anarchistmemedistro]

[isuggestrevolution]

i have a suggestion

[isuggesteatingtherich]

me too

[op1umtr33]

I live in a food desert, and most days I starve.

Prices are expensive even when I can make it to a store and my meager salary causes issues.

How Walmart And Pepsico Rigged Prices And Supercharged Food Inflation

A newly unredacted FTC complaint shows that Pepsi and Walmart worked together to rig grocery pricing and protect Walmart’s dominance.

The FTC under Biden was investigating and suing about this. The trump admin dropped this.

The worst part is that this is a systemic problem of capital that actually could be fixed by government action, easily. To keep the Waltons rich, there are genuine and huge conspiracies dedicating to destroying everywhere else you could buy food.

This comment was left on a post about making the most of the Libby app. "Excessive use of generous lending policies" is the most absurd phrase I've ever seen anyone use to discuss libraries.

[catboycommunist]

evergreen

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

looked up Heidi because I'm a journalist

for reasons I can't imagine this publisher of sexless Alaska love stories is averaging under 20 likes each on posts about her books, so if I can be so honest I kind of have my doubts that her books are getting read even with the excessive use of generous lending policies

[ariaste]

Also her claim that authors are not getting paid per borrow is.... wrong. With ebooks (which is what she's talking about here with Libby) there are two forms of licensing for libraries to lend out ebooks.

The first kind is that they buy a license for a pre-determined amount of check-outs. I'll just make some numbers up for the sake of illustrating what that looks like: Let's say $20 for 20 borrows. When the ebook has been checked out 20 times, the library has to renew the license and pay more money in order to continue lending out the ebook. The author gets a cut of that $20 as their royalties.

The second kind is literally paying per borrow. (Again just making up numbers here) Let's say the library pays 50 cents every time the book is checked out. The author still gets a cut as their royalties. Is it just 10 or 20 cents per borrow? Yes, but that adds up! AND it means that people who otherwise wouldn't have been able to read my book at all are able to read it, which is great! AND it means that the library is thriving and being used, which is also great!

So yes, authors DO get paid from library activity!!!!!!

Do not feel guilty for using the library. I don't know one single author (except this Little Miss Ma'am in the screenshots, apparently) who would resent their readers for using libraries.

watching a movie at home circa like, 2001 was like

put your TV on channel 2 so the VCR will work

open up the clamp shell case that held the VHS that has that satisfying crrlikkkkkk

put in the movie

gdi it has to be rewound

press STOP and then rewind because its so much faster that way

start the movie and it takes a few seconds for the movie to actually start cause you rewound to the VERY beginning

FBI will get you if you illegally distribute or exhibit this movie

and then. because you forgot that movies are always so much louder than TV

COMING SOON TO OWN ON VIDEO AND DVD

Okay crisis averted.

although. these ads are kind of quiet. a little hard to hear.....

better turn up the volume...

Emos & scene kids got this close to abolishing gender for real. I try not to think about it too much.

[shamebats]

The idea of a popular teenage subculture where girl & boys pretty much all dress the same feels impossible now but for a while it was reality and it was beautiful.

[bitegore]

i swear sometimes it feels like vast swathes of people on here think there's some moral value to "annoying"ness like it's morally incorrect to be annoying so if you're not doing anything wrong it can't be annoying and if you're annoyed with someone they must have morally failed or something. Like my god. Have you never just been irked by something harmless before?
