The potato has been genetically modified ever since scientists realized they could fight back blight that caused the Irish potato famine
ALL citrus fruits are GMO hybrids of the pomelo, mandarin, and citron- the only 3 original citrus.
Most people have no idea what they’re talking about when they say they’re against GMO’s. No idea.
We need to get around to realizing that genetic modification isnt contamination, or carcinogenic chemicals, or sludge, or evil godless mutations. They aren’t horrifying and they’re grown natural just like everything else.
“i don’t buy anything with gmos,” said the woman walking her purebred pug
look don’t be against GMOs be against PATENTING GENES and PURPOSELY DESIGNING CROPS TO BE STERILE SO FARMERS HAVE TO KEEP BUYING SEEDS.

Hispanic= Spanish speaking
Latino= From latinamerica
A peruvian is latino and hispanic, a Colombian is latino and hispanic.
Someone from Brazil is latino but not hispanic
Someone from spain is hispanic but not latino
I completely thought those were synonyms, thank

PREACH
australia has had a grand total of zero mass shootings since gun laws were reformed after a massacre in 1996. that’s twenty fucking years with absolutely ZERO mass shootings. how can you be THICK enough to think that a change in gun laws won’t be effective? what’s it going to take?
Same as the UK - we had a school shooting in 1996. Regulations for guns were then hugely, hugely reformed. Handguns were banned completely and the only people then allowed them were to do with their vocation - so for farming for example.
We have had zero school shootings since then. The only other shooting apart from that was in 2010 where twelve people were killed. So in twenty years there has been one incident.
In 2015 ALONE the US has 372 mass shootings. 475 people died. 1870 were injured.
If you go on the gun violence archive, they currently has six pages detailing all the mass shootings America has had so far in 2016.
On Friday a 22 year old woman was shot. On Sunday 50 people were killed too. America can not go two days without innocent people being murdered
what is it going to take
*sighs* I know it doesn’t look like it to people who don’t live in the United States, but there are Americans who WANT stricter gun control. Who have, in fact, been fighting for it for decades. They have little to no chance of getting stricter gun control laws because of the National Rifle Association.
It’s large–4.3 million to 5 million members, as well as insanely powerful–it’s one of the most powerful lobbying organizations in America. It also has a Legislative Affairs Division that focuses on passing laws favorable to the rights of gun owners and blocking any bills that would restrict such ownership. It opposes almost all gun control legislation, such as theAssault Weapons Ban bill of 2013. It influenced the writing of theFirearm Owners Protection Act. The NRA pushed for, and got, the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, which ensures that gun manufacturers and gun dealers can’t be sued for negligence if someone uses their products improperly. After the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, the NRA demanded that Congess appropriate funds for a “Shield Program” in which armed police officers would be in every U.S. school. That was the NRA’s idea of a solution to too many guns–more guns.
Not only that, but cities and states that have issued bans on certain types of guns or ammo sooner or later get sued by the NRA for violations of second Amendment rights. This happens a LOT. The NRA almost always wins because of that damned “right to bear arms” clause in the U.S. Constitution.
And here are some subsidary organizations.
NRA Civil Rights Defense Fund NRA Foundation NRA Special Contribution Fund NRA Freedom Action Foundation NRA Institute for Legislative Action NRA Political Victory Fund
The NRA operates the National Firearms Museum. It publishes at least six shooting magazines. It has an official state association in every state AND in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. It raises and donates money to groups such as ROTC, 4-H and Boy Scouts. Boy Scouts are even mandated to have NRA rifle instructors at their summer camps.
It’s all but a combination of corporation, nonprofit organization, and government. It also has a lot of political support, because supporting it is profitable. About 88% of all U.S. politicians have gotten money from the NRA or its political action committees at some point.
The sad thing is that even if gun control laws were passed, the NRA would just fight to repeal them or sue those who passed them to get the laws set aside–and would probably pass the cost of the litigation on to its opponent(s) once the opposition lost the case. (Yes, that’s legal in America.) And it would have all the backing of the manufacturers and dealers who don’t want to go out of business.
As for its response after every shooting–the NRA has demanded MORE guns. I quote Bustle:
In times of previous mass shootings, the NRA has generally gone silent for a few hours or even days before responding to the tragedies, and that might be the case with Orlando. The organization’s responses tend to emphasize a need for more guns rather than less, and its comments generally reflect a group poised to go on the defensive whenever there are lives lost to gun violence.
In November 2015, the NRA responded to the Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood shooting that left three people dead, including a police officer, by avoiding the issue entirely. The organization posted a cringeworthy tweet wishing “shooters” a “happy Friday” that the organization claims was entirely coincidental.
Just days after that shooting, the NRA took to their Facebook page to boast about their strides in loosening gun control laws. Meanwhile, a guest on NRA News used the shooting as a means to support carrying concealed weapons. “I would have loved it if somebody who worked at Planned Parenthood, or one of the patients, or somebody who was waiting had a concealed carry permit and was able to stop this guy before he killed three people and injured nine or ten others,” NRA supporter Laura Carno said on the show, as reported by Media Matters.
:::
Shortly before Oregon’s Umpqua Community College shooting, the NRA used its Twitter account to offer advice on how to get the clearest aim when shooting a gun.
I already mentioned one solution that the NRA had to the Sandy Hook shooting–armed cops in schools. Believe it or not, that was the mild solution. The Executive Vice President of the NRA suggested that teachers carry guns in school.
This is the NRA’s mentality. It will not consider reform, and it regards any and all aspects of gun control as inimical–a blow to the rights of gun owners, dealers and manufacturers. It is large and powerful and influential and rich, and it can afford any number of lawsuits and political campaigns. And as long as this organization exists in its present form, gun control will remain unattainable.
So please. Tell me. I am not being sarcastic; I want to know. How would you break an organization this strong in your countries? Because this is the obstacle.
Yeah, it’s great that other countries have such strict gun control laws, but if non Americans have a feasible suggestion for taking down the influence of the NRA, I’d like to fucking hear it.
Otherwise stop rubbing it in the faces of survivors and people who suffer from this kind of violence almost daily because it’s really fucking insensitive like ????
Believe me, every time someone’s like “HOW CAN YOU SCREW UP THAT BADLY?” and “WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU PUTTING UP WITH THAT SHIT?” I just get angry. I would LOVE to leave, okay? I would LOVE to change things. Only I’m poor, which means I have basically no power, and I’m disabled, which means I never will be able to accumulate enough wealth to MAKE a difference. This is how the monster works. It crushes, disenfranchises. Degrades, destroys. All you non-USA people see is the monster, and it IS monstrous. You don’t see us, the things it feeds on. You don’t see how we suffer, how powerless we are KEPT, how little chance we have against the rich assholes who have decided they have every right to own out government. We DON’T WANT THIS. But we can’t escape. So either volunteer and help us immigrate to your so-wonderful country where we can have things like health care and food, or shut up. Seriously. Just shut up.
Just remember. There is no such thing as a fake geek girl. There are only fake geek boys. Science fiction was invented by a woman.
Specifically a teenage girl. You know, someone who would be a part of the demographic that some of these boys are violently rejecting.
Isaac Asimov.
yo mary shelley wrote frankenstein in 1818 and isaac asimov was born in 1920 so you kinda get my point
If you want to push it back even further Margaret Cavendish, the duchess of Newcastle (1623-1673) wrote The Blazing World in 1666, about a young woman who discovers a Utopian world that can only be accessed via the North Pole - oft credited as one of the first scifi novels
Women have always been at the forefront of literature, the first novel (what we would consider a novel in modern terms) was written by a woman (Lady Muraskai’s the Tale of Genji in the early 1000s) take your snide “Isaac Asimov” reblogs and stick it
even in terms of male scifi authors, asimov was predated by Jules Verne, HG Wells, George Orwell, you could have even cited Poe or Jonathan Swift has a case but Asimov?
PbbBFFTTBBBTBTTBBTBTTT so desperate to discredit the idea of Mary Shelly as the mother of modern science fiction you didn’t even do a frickin google search For Shame
And if you want to go back even further, the first named, identified author in history was Enheduanna of Akkad, a Sumerian high priestess.
Kinda funny, considering this Isaac Asimov quote on the subject:
Mary Shelley was the first to make use of a new finding of science which she advanced further to a logical extreme, and it is that which makes Frankenstein the first true science fiction story.
Even Isaac Asimov ain’t having none of your shit, not even posthumously.
You know what else was invented by women? Masked vigilantes, the precursor to the modern superhero. Baroness Emma Orczy wrote The Scarlet Pimpernel in 1905. The character would later inspire better known masked vigilantes such as Zorro and Batman.
Got that?
Stick that in your international pipe and smoke it
I have literally been telling people this for over a year.
the first extended prose piece - ie a novel, was not, as many male scholars will shout, Don Quixote (1605) but The Tale of Genji (1008) written by a woman
The first autobiography ever written in English is also attributed to a woman, The Book of Margery Kempe (1430s).
The day may come when I find this post and do not reblog it, but it is not this day.
