Time to shut up anti-vegan leather glazers for good.

“If [leather’s] footprint is shocking or seems high to people, I think it should be a push to keep reflecting on the impact of raising animals for products,” Roncevich said. Leather may benefit (along with wool and other animal-derived materials) from a natural image, but on closer examination, it helps sustain one of the world’s most polluting, environmentally destructive industries.

Animal leather has plenty of toxic baggage of its own, from the chromium salts and other pollutants generated by tanneries to the manure runoff and water pollution associated with cattle ranching.

Aaaand with one catastrophic fuck up, AMC+ just lost their whole Australian and New Zealand market to piracy.

Episode still hasn't dropped yet and I can't even look at my dash because it's all spoilers.

We are looking at 11pm AEST for them to maybe start looking at the issue.

With that cliffhanger at the end, I'm going to be fucking livid if they pull this shit again next week.

99% of queer discourse stops right before they define the true difference between bisexual and pansexual!

it pains me to say it but the more people talk shit about the women who wear those shorts/leggings with the weird butt seam that looks like it gives you a terminal wedgie, the more compelled I feel to take the women’s side

[json-derulo]

ohhhhhh my godddddddd you saw someone wearing really tight revealing pants in public? should we throw a party? should we invite goody proctor

[json-derulo]

and while we’re at it, I’m done worrying about cameltoe. I don’t have time to be pulling and tugging at my clothes all day. if you can see the outline of my pussy you should say thank you and go about your business

I legit love when it's like 4am in the middle of winter and the fog is so thick you can't even see the house across the road.

It's so freakin pretty.

Me, bleeding profusely from a missing leg as I’m being dragged onto the beach: THIS WAS A STATISTICALLY UNLIKELY OCCASION, IF THE SHARK WANTED ME DEAD I WOULD BE DEAD. SHARKS ARE IMPORTANT FOR THEIR ECOSYSTEMS I DO NOT CONDONE ANY ATTEMPTS TO HUNT THIS SHARK

[doccywhomst]

if an animal kills me, that was on ME. it caught ME slackin. let it eat me

Your parents are not "narcissists". They're typical authoritarian assholes who treat you like their property because society allows them to.

Your ex boyfriend is not a "narcissist". He's a typical misogynistic douchebag who treats women like shit because society allows him to.

Your boss is not a "narcissist". They're a typical classist dipshit who thinks workers' entire purpose in life is to generate profit because society allows them to.

And even if they happen to be a "narcissist", that's not what gave them the power to get away with abuse.

So stop blaming mental illness and start blaming society's normalization of abuse. Stop acting like someone has to have a mental illness in order to do something cruel when ordinary people have been doing atrocious things since forever.

This but I'm pretty sure my mum also has undiagnosed, untreated BPD alongside it. Which I wish she would get help for, as it harms all her relationships, not just over those who she feels she has authority over. I know the loneliness it causes her must be awful.

Another reason why trains would be good is that most people are not good at driving

Wish I could send this to the person in the comments of a post a few weeks ago that was telling me I needed to un-learn my colonial ideas because I think we shouldn't farm animals....
