I just wanted to make a jokey post about this place being full of cobwebs but alas Tumblr managed to make my first two minutes back in it into confusion because of this... new editor thing that doesn't look too different from the "classic"??

Alas, what a strange thing to be back.

I know saying this is beating a dead horse but it really is fucking sick that our species clearly evolved to engage in intensive physical activity and social interaction during its adolescence, yet we’ve built half our society around forcing our children to sit still and quiet while they obey a long list arbitrary rules created solely to test their conformity in basically a softcore prison for most of every year of their lives, even dumping extra work on them to take home and stress over during the short window they could otherwise spend with their families or the things that make them at all happy. And then we wonder why virtually every single adult in this society is an ill-adjusted wreck to some degree or another and can barely even agree on the definitions of “true” and “false” let alone right from wrong.

weird how people say “ice rink” even though thers like no other type of rink. also more importantly what the fuck is a rink 

[transgenderer]

roller rink……

[butch-king-frankenstein]

clearly a “rink” is any sort of zone where you move around in strange footwear

[venusian--eye-deactivated201606]

Origin of rink: 1325-75; Middle English (Scots) renk: area for a battle, joust, or race / Middle French, renc.

Let’s say your matrilineal line is fairly consistent and everyone has their daughter at 25. So four women in your matrilineal line are born every hundred years. In a thousand years, that’s only 40 women. Like the math is so simple and yet ? You don’t think about it. So in 2000 years, 80 women. So basically, 0 AD started roughly about 80 mothers ago. That’s it.

Whenever I see this post I think “Well shit this is probably why we as a species haven’t quite mastered parenting yet.” 

I mean, I’ve made cookies probably 400 times in my life and I still fuck them up on the regular.

anyway who else feels bad for todays pre-teen girls?? they see all these instagram models who are over 20, and they look at that and think “i need to be like her otherwise im ugly or abnormal” like?? i can only imagine how insecure these little girls must feel. just looking at these middle schoolers with perfect instagram makeup and professionally done acrylic nails?? in middle school you’re supposed to grow, that’s when you figure out who you are, you’re right in between the stages of childhood and adulthood, you’re supposed to look like a rat lmao, and pre teen girls these days arent allowed to do that and it sucks

i love how everybody just reblogs it as it is but if anyone is wondering about the context it’s from the comments on the alison’s blog. someone with a username straight girl was having some troubles with the website and alison was apologizing to her

there’s more to this comment but obviously i didn’t screen it because it’s funnier this way lol

Industrial farming is driving the sixth mass extinction of life on Earth, says leading academic

Industrial agriculture is bringing about the mass extinction of life on Earth, according to a leading academic. Professor Raj Patel said mass deforestation to clear the ground for single crops like palm oil and soy, the creation of vast dead zones in the sea by fertiliser and other chemicals, and the pillaging of fishing grounds to make feed for livestock show giant corporations can not be trusted to produce food for the world.

Asked what people could do “as a consumer” to try to avoid contributing to such problems, Prof Patel said people needed to think on a bigger scale.

“‘As a consumer’ you are only allowing yourself a range of action. ‘As a consumer’ you can buy something that’s local and sustainable, that’s labelled as organic or fair trade,” he said.

“But ‘as a consumer’, you don’t get to do a whole lot of good. As a citizen, as a decent person, you can demand more from your government, from one’s employer, from yourself.

“Be more aware of your power as part of a society where we can change things. We have this power to change things in the future. What we have to do is make that change.”

He said some people thought being a vegetarian avoided contributing to the extinction crisis.

“I’m vegetarian but it’s not enough. If you are vegetarian and you walk around with your halo of virtue but you are eating tofu that comes from Brazilian soy, then you’re just as complicit in all of this as if you are eating the beef fed on Brazilian soy,” Prof Patel said.

Vegetarianism did not provide a “pure and simple” route out of the problem.

“Capitalism is involved. The capitalist will take your vegetarianism and make money from it with the same kind of techniques they’ve honed in meat manufacture,” he said.

Instead, Prof Patel argued it was time to switch to a world in which resources were shared and looked after, harking back to the days when people had access to common land.
