Fuck

read the statement above. that is all

…But why do you need an object to go to the bathroom? Does it unlock the magic bathroom door?

[jumpingjacktrash]

a hall pass is a thing you can show to school staff to prove you’re wandering the halls with your teacher’s permission, not skipping class. once upon a time it was a piece of paper, but people kept losing those, so around the time i was in high school, teachers started taping the school-issued cardstock hall pass to things like blocks of wood, plastic flowers, and plush toys, to make them harder to lose.

apparently it wasn’t enough.

[bushy-haired-know-it-all]

Also people would steal them so they could have a get out of jail free card if they got caught skipping class.

It’s a little bit easier to find a stolen giant pencil than it is to find a stolen hall pass

[daemonmatthias]

This is eaxctly why hall passes have gotten so extreme.

[helloitsbees]

this is fucking surreal and only adds more weight to my theory that the american public school system is (barely) held together by a dark and arcane magic

[cherie-creme-deactivated2020012]

Also a fact

[zanabism-deactivated20200529]

when you support outlawing Indigenous people’s hunting practices you are LITERALLY promoting their starvation. Indigenous communities in the Arctic have to suffer from food deserts and 174963846% increase in food costs that no white vegan will ever have to face. So please. let them eat lmao.

[vampireapologist-archive-deacti]

Yes!!! This is so important to me as a topic in my field!!! Maintaining, supporting, and especially restoring indigenous peoples’ right to hunting is a topic of the utmost importance.

People want to cry “even the populations of concern??” but the fact is they were almost never of concern until colonizers started overhunting. The decline of the polar bear in North America (and in most of its range) is a perfect example of how in very little time, white colonizers decimated a healthy population of animals that indigenous people had been responsibly surviving on for hundreds and often thousands of years.

It doesn’t just stop at us white people letting indigenous people hunt for subsistence though. It’s extremely important that we ask for and use indigenous knowledge and ideas when we create hunting laws and treaties. We need to hand over the power.

Again, the international agreement on polar bears is a good example of indigenous hunting traditions and knowledge being used to actually make informed decisions on hunting regulations.

I’m not trying to lecture or inform OP, but to make sure white people reading this understand how important it is that moving forward, indigenous communities are included in hunting regulations and treaties, because it is not their fault their survival has been threatened by colonial overhunting, and often they have vital knowledge about species range, migration, populations, and behaviors that non-native biologists haven’t figured out yet.

Here is a read on why the largely held white idea on “saving the animals” (especially seals that advocacy groups love to claim indigenous people club constantly, all the time) is a racist, misinformed, tunnel-vision view of a much larger picture made of way bigger problems:

I say it a lot, but it deserves repeating:

Always always always: wildlife conservation efforts without the consideration and voices of indigenous people is a conservation effort without a soul.

[star-anise]

Honestly the people I know who care the MOST about the wellbeing of animals and the environment are the people who are serious, experienced, non-recreational hunters. 

And not just when it’s hunting for food. The Indigenous fur trappers up here care way the fuck more about the wild species they trap than any of the white vegans who try to ban them from earning a living. Just because it’s a White tradition to disrespect the animals you kill and hunt them to extinction, doesn’t mean that’s how everybody does it.

[systlin]

My sister works with some tribes in the Pacific Northwest because they know MORE about the habits and health of the local wildlife than anyone else, including the researchers (like my sister). 

She’s a big proponent of just staying the hell out of indigenous people’s hunting practices, because “It was just fine until we came along and fucked it all up.”

A Rare Bald Eagle Trio—Two Dads and a Mom—Captivates Webcam Fans

Even after their first mate died, the two males remained faithful to each other, and are now raising three eaglets with a new female named Starr.

In a tall tree situated on the Mississippi River in Fulton, Illinois, three eagles, a female and two males, are looking after three downy eaglets.

Their eggs? Many. Their enthusiasm? Boundless. Their brain cells? One.

I’m in Poland and they keep showing this pizza advert and it’s amazing.

It starts off with rival pizza makers who argue over who has the best pizza and are driving the customers away

Then there’s this crazy old lady who yells at them from a window to quit it (because where else do you yell business advice from?)

So they work together and do some obvious flirting via pizza montage

And the old lady is all like “just kiss already”

Then they create a pizza together, combine restaurants and live happily ever after with the crazy window lady

waking up to gay pizza makers, today’s gonna be a good day

in the english dub she say “-just one more good sob - OKAY I’M READY” and that’s pretty accurate too.

[books-and-cookies]

Something that I noticed this past year - i don’t know if it’s a psychological step or something, but my late 20s/early 30s are much, MUCH better than my early and mid 20s. Despite bad days:

* I’m much more confident about myself * I’m more outspoken * I learned to let go of the little things, that if someone makes a mistake or does a “problematic” thing, it’s not the end of the world  * I learned that you’re allowed to have “guilty pleasures” and be proud of that * I know more about myself - what I like, what I don’t like and I’m not afraid to make that known * I learned that it’s okay if not everyone likes you and you don’t have to bend over backwards to make them like you - just let it go and find the people that you do connect with * it’s okay to not have life figured out and to make the choice to enjoy everything as it comes, because you never know what will happen tomorrow - so, drink that special champagne, use that fancy plate set to eat pizza, wear that amazing dress as much as possible, because the perfect moment to use them may never come * “fun” is whatever you decide it is - whether it’s parties, knitting, netflix, growing plants or trees, origami, reading, playing sports * people sometimes do shitty things, but they also grow and change and it’s okay to give a second chance to someone you had a fight with years ago, they might surprise you * it’s okay to be selfish and put yourself first, take care of yourself, and let go of the people that are holding you back * it’s okay to not have The Life™ - remember that social media lies to you and what you see there can be a lie - do whatever works for you, whether that’s working a 9-5 or being a freelancer, whether that means finishing school or dropping out; not fitting societal norms isn’t a bad thing.

So my point is: don’t be afraid of growing old. Embrace all the experience and self love and acceptance that comes with it. Enjoy yourself and really live life as it comes, with no regret or nostalgia for the past. :)

Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day by quietly remembering that Native Americans sent more aid to Ireland during the famine than Britain or the US.

[sympolite]

specifically, it was the Choctaw nation that sent aid to the Irish during the famine

[tigerthightat]

Thank you Choctaw Nation.

My cats weird obsession with Ringo Starr

So recently my cat has become infatuated with a picture of Ringo Starr I have hanging up in my room

He only ever does this with ringo, not George, the only other picture he can reach, I thought maybe he actually liked Paul or maybe it was just the frame so I conducted an experiment

I decided to try out some different pics of the Beatles together and he still seemed to prefer ringo over the other three

I then tried out individual photos to see which he preferred and he stuck by ringo every time

Finally I tested a picture of the band from a different era where they looked different, at least to a cat, and he still preferred Ringo, thus telling me that my cat has a thing for Ringo Starr

[goldenmarshmallow]

Probably one of my favorite scenes. Go watch The Gay and Wondrous Life of Caleb Gallo it’s hilarious
