things that made me stop wanting to die that require no effort whatsoever

change the color used to highlight text on your laptop

move the pictures on your wall

stack whatever clutter is in your room into piles even if you don’t have time to clean it all

slightly vary your commute, even just by one street

change where you sit and scroll aimlessly on your phone even if it’s only to the chair in your room instead of your bed

drink water or juice out of a wine glass in the morning because nothing is real

shower with the lights off, without music

buy $3 flowers at trader joe’s—they look bad next to the more expensive ones but they look so good in your room

start typing things you don’t post into your notes. your thoughts can be worth documenting even if you don’t deem them worth sharing

wake up super early just once. you don’t have to make it a habit it’s just extra satisfying to go to bed that night

listen to the entirety of your favorite album from 2015

Almost all of these are about variety. Humans need stimulation! We need enrichment! We literally cannot do the same thing every day!

The other day I was feeling miserable, so I hopped on a bus and rode it all the way back to where I’d started, and my brain, which had finally had some proper stimulation via new environments, was suddenly ready to go again!

This is why taking walks/drives and trying new hobbies are good for you! Don’t turn yourself into a sad zoo animal! You need some pumpkins to roll around in your enclosure!

anyway jeff bezos could eradicate homelessness. he could literally give each homeless person 100k and it would only take less than .5% of his entire wealth. what the actual god giving fuck

[the-prolefeed]

Why do you think they deserve it

[killin-the-machine]

Well shelter is a basic need, and would at the very least allow them a place where they can get back on their feet. Food water and shelter are necessary for a healthy body and psychology. There’s also the fact that they’re people too, and a little help goes a long way in making a decent community. There’s plenty of reasons

[the-prolefeed]

Yeah they need stuff, but why does every homeless person deserve 0.5% of someone’s income

You have five hundred apples, and just one day to eat them all. 

You pass by a small crowd of hungry children, and decide you’d rather 455 apples go rotten than give them to some snotty brat who isn’t your problem.

It doesn’t matter how hard you’ve worked for your 500 apples, or that you aren’t the parent of any of those kids. in the moment you decide to walk away, it doesn’t matter why they’re hungry, or who owes who what.

You had the opportunity to help people, you had the ability to help people, you had the resources to help people. You had everything you needed to make a small, tiny little difference in someone’s life, and you decided not to.

What are you going to buy in your lifetime that’s worth more to you than your own humanity?

Buy Minnesota Wild Rice, Maple Syrup and Native American gifts

Organic Wild Rice and Native American gifts for holidays and everyday. Also try our maple syrup, hominy, gift baskets and much more!

AANIIN (Greetings) From Our Land Manoominike Giizis- or the wild rice moon is upon us here at White Earth, and the lakes and rivers welcome our people to their waters, while our lands are abundant with one of the best corn harvests ever.  We are thankful that we are able to continue our thousand year old way of life.

We work to continue, revive, and protect our native seeds, heritage crops, naturally grown fruits, animals, wild plants, traditions and knowledge of our indigenous and land -based communities; for the purpose of maintaining and continuing our culture and resisting the global, industrialized food system that can corrupt our health, freedom, and culture through inappropriate food production and genetic engineering.

The mission of the White Earth Land Recovery Project is to facilitate recovery of the original land base of the White Earth Indian Reservation, while preserving and restoring traditional practices of sound land stewardship, language fluency, community development, and strengthening our spiritual and cultural heritage.

White Earth Wild Rice Harvest: Manoominikewaag

Manoomin, “The Food That Grows on the Water,” Harvest Season 2013: Manoominike Giizis (The Ricing Moon) is a time of age-old traditions filled with memories of family and friends, and the memories of those before us who have harvested Manoomin, or wild rice, in the same way for thousands of years in our Anishinaabe Akiing–the land of our people. As we watch the Manoomin sway from side to side as we enter the canoe, it’s as if they dance to the excitement shared by generations. Manoomin is grown naturally in the lakes and rivers of Northern Minnesota and is hand-harvested and wood parched by tribal members using traditional methods.

Whenever someone posits that people are ‘lazy’ I’m reminded of the fact that if you leave humans in a room with some blocks and no instructions they will literally make up their own tasks to carry out because humans just fuckin love having stuff to do and objectives to work towards

[seraphimalune]

In one of my psych courses we learned about a study where a person was left in a room with nothing but a box that would SHOCK THEM painfully if they touched it. After awhile, everyone touched the box and got shocked to hell and back. Now, this isn’t that abnormal. What’s abnormal is that everyone then sat there for a few minutes and then TOUCHED THE BOX AGAIN. And got shocked AGAIN! Moral of the story: People fucking hate being bored. They would rather be in IMMENSE PAIN than be bored.

Meet the Jewish-Americans Who Were the OG American Nazi-Punchers

Many are familiar with the history of Adolf Hitler, World War II, and the Holocaust. But chances are your school glossed over the story of the simultaneous rise of Nazism in the United States and the struggle to stop it.

During Hitler’s rule, a variety of Nazi groups pushed his anti-Semitic, fascist agenda in the United States. While numerous organizations opposed American Nazis, one group took the fight further than the rest — Jewish gangsters. Once Hitler came to power, Jewish mobsters in cities from New York City to Los Angeles violently disrupted Nazi meetings and attacked Nazis, determined to stop the rise of fascism in the U.S.

In 1933, Hitler became the chancellor of Germany, and pro-Hitler groups popped up across the United States. They often targeted German Americans for recruitment and intimidated Jewish communities, historian Warren Grover tells Teen Vogue. By 1939, the German American Bund — one of the largest pro-Hitler groups in the country — had grown big enough to pack Madison Square Garden with 20,000 supporters.

Anti-Jewish sentiment in the U.S. wasn’t restricted to pro-Hitler groups, however. Until the U.S. entered World War II, in 1941, countless Americans opposed U.S. involvement in the war — despite relatively widespread media coverage of Hitler’s terror — including groups like the America First Committee, whose membership included anti-Semites and Nazi sympathizers. Ford Motor Company founder Henry Ford, who in the 1920s distributed half a million copies of anti-Jewish rants, was among the group’s members. Charles Coughlin, an Irish Catholic priest, used his national radio show, which reached millions, to stir up anti-Jewish sentiment. His supporters formed a group called the Christian Front, which created a “Christian Index,” of non-Jewish stores to support and whose members attacked Jews in the streets of cities like New York, historian Tony Michels tells Teen Vogue.

“There were a shockingly high number of Americans who were not Nazis but felt sympathetic,” said Michels, a University of Wisconsin-Madison professor and author of Jewish Radicals. Before the war, law enforcement mostly saw the activities of American Nazis as a freedom-of-speech issue, Grover said, and so it initially unlikely to get involved.
