no but in all seriousness, don’t force relationships and don’t force friendships. if these things aren’t flowing into your life naturally, you can do without them until they do.

Date the person who tells you to be safe when you go out, not the one who gets mad. Partnership, not ownership.

“Be brave enough to live creatively. The creative is the place where no one else has ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. You cannot get there by bus, only by hard work, risking and by not quite knowing what you are doing. What you will discover will be wonderful; yourself.”

— Alan Alda (via purplebuddhaquotes)

I found sources. 

The word “man” was gender neutral and referred to both sexes until the 13th century

The female specific pronoun “she” was invented in the 12th century. 

The word “girl” was gender neutral and referred to children of both sexes until the 15th century

High heels were invented for men and were worn predominantly by men until the 16th century

From the mid 16th century to the 19th century boys would typically wear dresses until the age of 7

Until the early 1930s pink was considered the appropriate colour for baby boys and blue was the colour for baby girls

In 2017, a Christian couple pull their 6yo son out of a primary school because his classmate is transgender - citing their “traditional beliefs”  IMPORTANT NOTE: Last source is transphobic and from a pro-life website that attempts to defend the dumb ass couple. Feel free to ignore it if you prefer, but it was included for the sake of accuracy.

Reblogging because verifiable sources make every information 70% better. Thanks for the addition!

this may be a hard pill to swallow for some people but like. 90% of the fires in australia wouldn’t be happening right now if people had just fucking listened to indigenous peoples

[antivoltron-deactivated20200514]

literally just. give us our FULL sovereignty back over these areas half of them aren’t even inhabited and almost none of them have ANY cultural significance to white australia (not that that should even matter cause it’s. aboriginal land and it always will be but whatever). give us control over them and shit like this won’t happen and our communities will heal.

[the-17th-imagineer]

Is OP implying the fires are the result of some kind of Aboriginal curse or something? Is the continent itself breaking out in fever in an attempt to cleanse itself of white people? Do the Aboriginals have some effective anti-wildfire strategy that the white people are too arrogant to listen to?

[antivoltron-deactivated20200514]

we had landcare practices to prevent shit like this. we’d burn the forest litter/hazardously flammable stuff in the cooler months to prevent massive forest fires happening. when our lands were invaded we could no longer implement these practices and now the leaf litter will build up and set on fire again and again and now the forest fires will be huge.

[alwayswasalwayswillbeourland]

Its scientifically proven that Aboriginal people didn’t suffer from wild bushfires, pre invasion. And its also proven that back burning (burning parts of the land per season) actually encourages new life and promotes animal breeding. Aboriginal science outweighs white science.

[katchkaleh]

Followers, ☝️ This 100%. Happy to send people the studies and papers and stuff (or just have the conversation with sources) but by looking at tree ring scars, we can see that some areas had fires once every 80 years - and now those same regions are burning every few years. It’s un-natural for Australia, this isnt a continent meant to be chaotically and uncontrollably burning forever.

The intensity of fire is increasing bc of biomass is changing, plant species are changing, rivers diverted and drying up. Soil salinity is spiking, soil erosion is getting worse - and a thousand other things that aboriginal activists and people have been warning about for centuries.

Areas under native title where mosaic burning happens HAS LESS/NO OUT OF CONTROL FIRES. The evidence is literally right there.

Part of the out of control fires are climate change, part is european settlements and farming practices causing absolute fucking chaos on local ecosystems. these fires are not sudden or out of the blue or anything - they’ve been a long time coming from systematic environmental neglect and intentional environmental fuckery. You reap what you sow.

Plot twist: The peoples that have actually been living in Australia for thousands of years, surprisingly, have got this shit figured out

[corvussy]

this was also the case in america as well until around the 1960s when white people finally figured out that fire was a natural part of the ecosystem and some plants even need it to reproduce (like the giant sequoia). of course, native americans had been saying these things, but it was ignored. so all of these “great fires of” were the result of accumulation of highly flammable underbrush and the inevitability of fires (mostly from lightning rather than the smokey bear era belief that campfires started all forest fires)

in the 1980s, 3 major fire events (including the Yellowstone fires in 1988) ended the widescale practice of fire suppression and the adoption of “fire management”

essentially, fires are allowed to burn themselves out within certain acceptable areas. obviously this is meant to prevent fires from spreading to areas with human settlement (since, unlike australia, most of america has at least some human population).

however, this also means that areas outside of these acceptable fire zones were accumulating undergrowth without smaller fires controlling the growth, which makes them hard to control once they reach these areas, which are generally near people. so those fires in california are basically what all of america was once at risk of before fire management became widely used.

but yeah, again, listen to indigenous people when they tell you how /their/ land works.

It’s always incredible to me how black and brown people have been giving warnings on the environment for centuries and then yt people come along and they’re just 🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️
