Fight Me

all political stuff has been moved to sideblog socialjustuce gay. well i mean im trying to remeber to do that

[ephemeralpool]

really uncomfortable the way white people “value” indigenous knowledge not out of genuine respect for it or the fact that its rooted in thousands of years of experience, but because we’re in an age where everyone is concerned with “getting back to the earth” and see indigenous peoples as like… basal, uncomplicated, technologically lacking, and thus wholesome. im tired of hearing about “simple ancient primitive techniques” and shit. in the past i would have given writers the benefit of the doubt for such language, but it should be clear to everyone now, especially “socially conscious” current events bloggers, the connotations of those terms lol

[ephemeralpool]

i think people SHOULD be looking to us for guidance, and that the way we have lived (the way many of us continue to live, too) is low-impact and sustainable but i want for people to recognize the intelligence of these practices too (blease dont lecture me on the concept of intelligence, i know, i know, but the gist should be apparent) sometimes it feels like a lot of the outcomes of indigenous practices are treated as unintended despite being beneficial. like native ppls are just milling about doing whatever random shit and going “yeah thats good i guess ill keep doing that”

[deafmic]

I feel like everything about aizawa outside of his whole logic and rationality thing is just hilarious. and even a lot of his ‘rational way of living’ makes him hilarious too. like he’s unintentionally the most ridiculous person. among other things he:

-has a pair of pink sweatpants that he wears to formal events

-owns scarves big enough to swallow almost his whole head

-apparently owns many copies of the exact same outfit because he doesn’t actually see any point in dressing in anything different–except for those bright pink sweatpants, of course

-was once given the task of making a banner for his class for the sports festival and tried to draw a cat, then decided the cat was too badly drawn and tried to hide it on his desk (smash)

-has canonically never once been late to classes/teaching

-despite this, he frequently rolls into class in a sleeping bag

-recently upgraded his sleeping bag so it now has arms

-the upgraded sleeping bag also may or may not have legs

-thinks and claims that he’s never gotten drunk before in his entire life, but it turns out that he immediately gets black-out drunk and forgets literally everything that happens in the morning

-and everyone has collectively decided not to tell him because he gets sappy and soft when drunk and also talks to inanimate objects

-sits in line for the newest sleeping bag releases (smash)

-tried to teach eri about different holidays but instead wound up painting easter eggs with her despite easter being 4 months away

-bought eri a set of designer clothes with cats on them that were described to be “ugly beyond belief”

-was subsequently banned from making Eri Fashion Decisions

-spent his time at the todoroki household (while escorting shouto and waiting for him) trying to call and tame a stray cat 

-once got so worried about a student that he ran off without one of his slippers

-fishes for his own food (with a comically large sun hat) and despite this, allows mic to come with him even though he scares off the fish (smash)

-once pretended to be dead so his students could show off to their parents (light novel 1)

-thought it was completely normal and appropriate to stab himself in the leg in front of his class because they told him he was a bad actor during a rescue training simulation and he apparently thought the only way to act better was to make the situation a bit realer (smash)

-once got hurt so bad that he was put in a full body cast, but a day later went “okay, i’ve had enough of being in the hospital” and showed up to class in the cast, horrifying his students

i’m probably forgetting more and feel free to add but in conclusion, aizawa is the most unintentionally ridiculous character

Once decided that the solution to being sent on an errand to the opposite side of town from his apartment was to sleep outside like a hobo, rather than waste time going home (Smash)

Okay so I went to the source article and here’s the paragraph where the guy tells his secret:

First, there was their daily diet: on top of dry commercial cat food, a home-cooked breakfast of eggs, turkey bacon, broccoli, coffee with cream, and—every two days—about an eyedropper full of red wine to “circulate the arteries.” Then there was his effort to ensure the cats were sufficiently stimulated: a garage he’d converted into a home movie theater, with a working reel-to-reel projector and actual movie theater seats, where Perry screens nature documentaries exclusively for the cats (with previews, he added). Last, and perhaps most important, he swore that love and close, personal relationships helped his cats live longer. Perry adored his cats so much, he remembered each of their birthdays.

I read the thread and what isn’t clear from one tweet that this 9yr old was reffing an adult women’s league, not a children’s league. And that woman who argued with said child ref was a player not a mom.

18 Pictures That Prove Group Projects Are Pure Hell

[systlin]

This made me nearly bite a pencil in half in enraged memory. 

@  THE REST OF MY ANCIENT HISTORY CLASS; Y’ALL ARE WELCOME FOR THAT FUCKIN A THE REST OF YOU DID NO GODDAMN WORK FOR

[thebibliosphere]

Oh man, so I know everyone hates group projects with ample good reason, but lemme just tell you something that happened to me in my final year of uni. My dad got real sick and was in and out of hospital numerous times, one time with a suspected heart attack. Which meant my mum ended up caring for my dad, and I wound up caring for my disabled brother, on top of working a part time job and going to university full time.

My grades slid dramatically. I was having to appeal nearly all my results with my professors, and was mercifully granted extensions by all but one of them. (Which, if you’re out there Ronald: stub your toe and step on lego for the rest of eternity.) And then our Revolutionary Cultures prof. assigned a group project, and paired us at random with our classmates. And I knew, I knew I was just going to be a dead weight so I went to my new buddy and told them we should go to the profs office and ask for her to be switched to someone else who wasn’t just going to drag them down. And my new best buddy for the rest of the semester looked at me, looked at our assigned project, and very gently started to cry as she told me “I was just about to say the same thing to you,” and then tearfully told me her mum was dying, and the only reason she hadn’t dropped out to take care of her was because her mum wanted to see her graduate. She’d been given six months and we graduated in five. Provided we finished this class. And we were both out of appeals and leniency time.

It’s probably one of my most vivid memories from the whole college experience, just sitting on the floor of the Renaissance Lit corridor hugging someone who until a moment ago had been a relative stranger known only in passing, and trying to tell them it would be okay, we’d get the paper done. And we did. We scraped a C- together between the two of us and we managed to coast over the passing mark for the class and were allowed to graduate with abysmal but passing marks.

And I still think about her all the time. Especially when I wind up in group projects for work, and it feels like no one else is shouldering any of the burden, I make a note to reach out and say “hey, you don’t seem to be engaging with this much, are you okay?”

And a lot of the time it shocks people. They’re not expecting earnest concern for their lack of interest, and you find out things like their kid is sick, their dog just died, they’ve got health issues going on, or sometimes they just don’t know where to begin with the project and didn’t want to tell you that because they were frightened of being judged or perceived as lazy when they’re just overwhelmed.

And I honestly wish things like this were taught in team building exercises, cause that’s what group projects in school are. They’re supposed to be teaching you how to work well with others and achieve a common goal, while at the same time totally skipping over the fundamentals of human interaction and how to engage socially with others, and it’s fucking bullshit.

I had something snarky to say, but that last comment is too important to distract from.

[pileofblanks]

I’m a cat enthusiast and i can tell you, the kitty is actually trying to help! (or just trying to figure out what humane is doing by also touching it)

Cats like to mimic what other members if their cat groups are doing. In human enviroments, this translates to cats following humans (who they see as part of their group) and trying to mimic activities they are doing.

Human sits on couch? Cat sit with them! Human reading or on their computer? Cat go after human and sprawl over them or the keyboard because cat do the same! Human eating? Cat also want eat! Human touch spining clay and make weird shapes? Cat also do that! Cat help!

I love how she almost drops it until she smells it and that flashbulb memory hits.

[saunteringvaguelydownwards]

“Real isn’t how you are made,” said the Skin Horse. “It’s a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real … Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don’t matter at all, because once you are Real you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand.”

Im crying

[voidbat]

sobbing and clutching my stuffed lion i have slept with nearly every night for 33 years. i can’t fathom being separated from him long enough to not recognize him on sight, but if you blindfolded me and held up things to smell, i’d know him just as quickly and as hard as she did.

[cumaeansibyl]

Video link is broken so here it is on YouTube, and I was already sniffling but then I saw this in the comments:

“The teddy bear was given to Jessica’s mother as a baby shower gift. After a long life, the bear was no more than part of head and a torn apart body with no stuffing. After a month of research and scouring through 10,000 vintage teddy bears online, Jessica’s fiancee was finally able to obtain the missing pieces of the bear, and had have him brought back to life at the local Teddy Bear Hospital.“

So that’s why she didn’t recognize him – he’d been so damaged that they had to reconstruct him. And now I’m crying even harder.

[crumplelush]

That man put in a monumental effort to obtain her actual childhood bear for her. He’s a keeper

Excuse me while I go cry in a corner.😭
