She/her, 90s baby. My political beliefs are that every person should have all of their basic needs met, be able to enjoy their life comfortably, and do whatever they want with their own body. And none of that should be a radical statement. Feel free to message me

whenever i look into a historical monarch who doesn’t get talked about much and is just kind of a blank spot in my understanding of the historical narrative, 95% of the time what i find is pure white hot blistering capability. a pencil pusher for the ages. a 39 year reign with no more than three hours of sleep a night. there aren’t any good stories from his reign because he systematically caught and stopped all catastrophic good stories before they could start. you shrimply must respect it

Ouuhh I see the water it’s right there on the post,, I’m so thirsty ouyghhhhhw just one sip for me ooouuuuuu

[baked-fish]

Girl, what are you talking about? Are you feeling alright?

[beneaththegildedmoon]

Btw the heat *is* why we see water that's not really there, but mirages aren't exactly hallucinations so much as optical illusions:

It's just the changing density of the air refracting light weirdly, so it looks like there's a reflection of the sky on the ground, which our brains often interpret as a pool of water. It can also happen upwards instead of downwards, especially at sea, when the air is much colder near the surface and a warm front appears above it:

Which, btw, is one possible explanation for ghost ship sightings, so that's fun :)

Yeap. That's how the Effetto Fata Morgana gappens

If you drive on a straight road in the summer you can see mirages pretty easily.

Here's Fata Morgana

do you have any friends that are 4x your age or more?

Do you have any friends that are 4x your age or more?

Yes

No

Voting ended onJul 21

[ruffboi-mags]

1) if you can find me a 160yo to be friends with, I will do so in a heartbeat, but until then no I do not.

2) this is a very badly-conceived question unless you're literally only asking like. KIDS. Because that is such a HUGE gap to the point of the question being laughable. A 13yo, the youngest age someone can have an account on tumblr to vote on this poll, would need to have a 52yo friend to vote "yes". By the time they're 16, they'd need to have a 64yo friend. the 18-24 demo is (i believe) the largest on the site. I don't think most 18-24yos have friends in the 72-96yo range.

I'm not saying that's impossible, obviously, but like... it's VERY unlikely. Plus once you pass 29, you officially can simply no longer have a friend 4x your age, given that the oldest (age independently verified) living person is 116.

(side note but shout out to Jeanne Calment of France, 1875-1997, oldest recorded and independently verified person to ever live, at 122 years. She lived on her own until she was 110, met van Gogh when he moved to her hometown of Arles, France when she was a teenager, and recorded a spoken word musical album shortly before she died. Absolutely fantastic.)

Anyway, as I said, this is a very badly-conceived question by the asker, the percentage of people who are even theoretically able to say yes is already pretty low, let alone taking into account how few people are ever actually going to be friends with people that much older than them. Not related to, not "I know someone this age" or "I'm fond of someone this age" but actually friends with them.

[should-be-sleeping]

I voted yes because as I did have friends 60+ years old as a child and we'd still be friends now if not for the human lifespan, and that's kind of the only way this question could possibly be answered by anyone over the age of 25. 😂

[charlesoberonn]

They're immortal.

They were heckling the actors in Ford's theater on the day Lincoln was shot.

They heckled the first reading of the Epic of Gilgamesh.

They heckled the first lifeform to crawl onto land.

They heckled the big bang.

[asneakyfox]

the idea that restrooms, locker rooms, etc need to be single-sex spaces in order for women to be safe is patriarchy's way of signalling to men & boys that society doesn't expect them to behave themselves around women. it is directly antifeminist. it would be antifeminist even if trans people did not exist. a feminist society would demand that women should be safe in all spaces even when there are men there.

[asneakyfox]

btw this is maybe the single most key distinguishing feature of the terfy strains of radical feminism, the seed all the rest of it springs out of: they have absolutely no faith in the ability of feminism to actually destroy patriarchy. they do not think feminism can truly build a better world. they cannot really even imagine that possibility. they think patriarchy is an inevitable natural consequence of unchangeable biological facts, and therefore the goal of feminism can only be to mitigate the worst effects of patriarchy, not to get rid of it.

they can imagine a society where women get some designated safe spaces without men around. they cannot imagine a society where the presence of men is not inherently a danger to women.

Panama’s golden frogs beat extinction

The amphibians are returning to the wild 17 years after a deadly fungus nearly wiped them out.

It’s been 17 years since the bright yellow Panamanian golden frog (Atelopus zeteki) hopped through its native habitat. But after nearly two decades of hard work, conservationists are finally reintroducing a new generation of the tiny fluorescent amphibians back into the tropical island’s ecosystem. It wasn’t that long ago that golden frogs were staring down almost certain extinction. The saga began in the late 1980s, when an invasive fungus called Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) arrived in lower Central America. Soon, Bd spores spread throughout Panama. The fungal spores had no difficulty traveling through water—and because golden frogs only live close to streams, they soon encountered the fungus themselves...

guys you gotta stop thinking of women in their 30s as elderly it’s just misogyny

[courtesyname]

you also gotta stop thinking about actual elderly women as lesser human beings. Youth is not a measure of one’s worth.

Went into a public restroom today. Handicap stall (large) occupied by a nurse that works in the building. Handicap stall (medium) occupied by a lawyer that works in the building. Watch as I obtusely try to maneuver my ass into a normal stall (small) with my mobility aid and belongings, no grab bars to assist. RIP.

[should-be-sleeping]

Go to the store. Someone has parked their enormous #vanlife!!1! van diagonally across not 1 but 2 handicap spaces. Okay.

[should-be-sleeping]

At a different store. Everyone has pushed their carts up the sidewalk ramp meant for disabled people (esp. wheelchairs, mobility aid users in general, and the blind) to be able to escape the parking lot and abandoned them there, in the way. The cart corral is empty and like right there. The asphalt is hot and I am so exhausted. Like, spiritually.

[somecunttookmyurl]

hot take ig on the "i'm gay i can't count" site but the rise in an inability to do even basic mental arithmetic is just as concerning as the increasing lack of reading comprehension

[somecunttookmyurl]

truly the only time i will whip out the calculator app for mental maths is when i do need to be pinpoint accurate (not ballparking it) and also it involves an annoying number like "what's 17% of that". i could do it in my head. it just takes a minute. i don't necessarily want to

the vast majority of the time however either a) a ballpark figure is fine ("eh 17% is about £3.60 or so") or b) it's a simple enough addition/subtraction/percentage... so it is literally fucking quicker to do it in my head
