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.

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

Oh my God, what happened to him? He was going to buy some sweets. He was so excited because he hadn't tasted them in months. I saw him going, his face beaming with joy. He couldn't believe it. On his way, the killers of children and women bombed a house near him. His joy and smile were stolen. He suffered several head injuries, resulting in a concussion. He is now in intensive care and will undergo surgery; it's a matter of life or death.

learned today that one of the hosts of a podcast I occasionally listen to was in the epstein files because of an incident wherein she was being sexually harassed/abused by a man who worked in her field -> she created a google doc for other women in said field to anonymously submit the names of men who had harassed/abused them -> one of these men sued for her for defamation even though she didn’t know him & didn’t even know who his victim was -> he couldn’t afford lawyers & reached out to epstein for funding -> epstein gave it to him -> after 5 years she was forced into a settlement & had to pay him over $100k. the way these predatory men find solidarity with each other is so so so profoundly evil

[thyfl3shconsumed]

Ugh I connected with another adult creator and was like "hey if you're ever in Philly id love to connect" and he was like "I only do boy/girl scenes, sorry" and like idk I know within porn, I am going to be a third gender and not seen as a woman but I can't lie, that shit did sting a little, like I conceptualize myself so fully as a woman that it doesn't make sense to be turned down cuz a guy "only shoots with women"

Trans guy into femdom who gets off on being called a birthday boy

[dinah-lance]

i think some of you guys should question why algorithms are only feeding you this negative information about argentina, only representing us as either violent, racist, or both, instead of showing you the black and brown argentinians and immigrants who are trying to tell you how it is living here, instead of showing you families being happy about the wins or argentinians supporting other latam countries throughout the world cup, algorithms that are programmed and designed overwhelmingly by usa rightwingers and zionists, and why would they want the world to have such a negative image of argentina at the same time as our president, a us/israeli puppet, is trying to remove laws that protect our land and resources so billionaires in those countries can buy it and exploit it, at the same time as peter thiel moved to argentina because he knows that same puppet president will give him whatever the fuck he wants and let him do whatever the fuck he wants, at the same time as israeli companies are trying to buy our water and burn our forests. think about it.

seek leftist argentinian voices, indigenous argentinian voices, black and brown argentinian voices, progressive argentinian voices. learn about our history and our current political climate from them, not from your algorithm, not from whatever goes viral.

For those of you who are genuinely interested in listening to afroargentinian voices, you can follow Emmanuel Ntaka, Zoe Gerbaudo, Jennifer Parker and PibaAfroQom.

All of them have spoken out about the dangers of this campaign that only erases afroargentines even more.

the old "all trans people I know are mentally ill to some degree even if I don't believe being trans is itself a mental illness" line is a classic case of torturing you to insanity then torturing you for being insane

[infertilityidol]

like do you have any idea how rude people are about all of this of course I'm insane

[mousidy]

my transfem friend Jessie is currently homeless and needs support. she needs money for essentials: food, hygiene products, makeup, possibly a hotel. anything helps!

we wrote this post together while hanging out for one of the last times before she starts hitchhiking across the country to get to a warmer climate before winter. I'd really like to make sure she's safe and has enough food. thank you 🫶

Can I still be a leftist if I’m a reactionary conservative

[ndnbutch]

the thing is like. if you see someone complaining about “tmes”. like as in everyone who is described by the term tme (transmisogyny exempt). and the place your mind immediately jumps to is “this person is criticizing an entire demographic of queer people!!” then well. idk. that says to me that, at best, you still just don’t get what tme/tma exist to refer to. that you haven’t been listening to transfeminists when they talk about this. tme is just simply not a descriptor of any one particular queer identity. tme is not a descriptor of any queer identity at all. I can’t emphasize this enough. in fact, the vast majority of people who could accurately be described as tme aren’t even queer. it’s just like really telling to me when people try to turn discussion of transmisogyny into a matter of “queer infighting”. i get that that’s, like, the easiest route to take to try to make transfeminists look divisive and unreasonable. but that, you know, sucks. and it’s wildly intellectually dishonest. these are terms that exist to describe axes of power and oppression.

[xeric-adenium-obesum]

tme trans people have a way of melting when confronted with the idea that some people might have it worse than them

[deadgirl10]

you truly can't have gimmicks as a transfem, huh.

[tboy-trash]

a child can 100% be trans, but there's no such thing as a cis child under ~10 and i believe this unironically

[tboy-trash]

trans child: awesome. they have questioned the sexgender system and rejected the class forced upon them. they know their shit.

cis child: i mean they're too young to know for sure. how do we know it's not peer pressure? :/

[tboy-trash]

children only start being cis once they ostracize their trans peers. which i guess in fairness can be younger than 10 in many instances. but point is that before that we just tell them they're cis and they have no frame of reference to really say anything about it (and if they do, they get abused)

[kayla-denker]

Y'all will see a depressed trans woman dejectedly say "...Yeah, whatever, sure... I don't care if you misgender me." and go "Yippeeeee! Thanks bro! I always knew you were one of the good ones, dude!"

[birdbombs714]

I'm still disgusted by my ex best friend. I'm still terribly disgusted and feel this permanent skin crawl, whenever I think of them. They're despicable. Every inch of me feels a visceral sort of rejection, and disgust at the thought of them. How vile of a human being do you have to be, the kind of politics, all of it. Every part of me knows their humanity and remembers 9 years of it. I remember them but I don't even want to anymore. Somehow, they make me want to throw up. To believe I was willingly friends with such a zionist, TWERF, White supremacist, and fascist, it's just... those things... add up. The inability to even really admit that your own people's armies are committing a genocide. The inability to think outside of your own comfort. To gaslight me. To be racist and saneist to me. To make me feel like my politics were the problem. What level of depravity liberalism does to a person. I still feel this level of disgust with someone I used to love so tenderly and hold up like my universe, fuck I felt like Atlas next to you. Now I am so grateful you are out of my life. God... you are terribly disgusting on an ethical and political level. I have cared more about human autonomy and "rights" and dignity than you ever have and will. I don't want you to suffer, I wish you could really become politically literate and find ways to be responsible to the people you have power over. But... I am not a starry eyed man, I know what level of resistant you are. You've never allowed yourself to change or practice ethics that mattered. I will never forgive you. There is no gratitude for you either. It's not even that you're a monster. It's that you've just done too much and have too many disgusting ideologies, and you cling to them... that I fear I truly want nothing to do with you for an eternity. I won't try to make any of this positive, because that will kill me. I hope someone knows though, I was a loyal, loving, infinitely better and more responsible friend than they ever were. And if someone has to care about who is hurt, care about me. I am the one who is still hurt and nursing the millions of tiny papercuts they gave me. Never befriend someone who lives in Israel, never befriend an upper class person, and never befriend a White person. Combination alone will destroy you inside and out.
