“It’s [sexism] built into our society. It’s easy to miss and it’s easy to get used to it. There are things that are intolerable in today’s world, in terms of the perception of women. Whether they’re vamps or vixens… the expectation that, if a woman is wearing a short skirt, she’s ‘asking for it’.”

Hi, did you know there was an election in Kansas two days ago? That’s what this post is talking about.

Republicans win a special House election in Kansas after an embarrassing red-state scare

And the Georgia election is next week?

Georgia Special Election: What to know about the next race to replace a Trump Cabinet pick

Losing all our rights isn’t funny or cute. Because of run-offs, impeachments, etc., elections can happen every single year. This year Trump is electing staff and cabinet to the White House who are leaving their local offices and needing replacement.

The Dems lost a deep-red district on Tuesday by a THIN margin. If more people had been aware of the vote in Kansas and acted, it could have been an upset. Ridiculing “get out the vote” messages is NOT HELPING ANYONE EXCEPT THE GOP, please stop!

Register to vote if you’re not registered. The people who say, “I’ll do it before the next election” end up missing the deadlines and missing out. Be AHEAD of the game, not behind it.

Humans are a communal species that have banded together and cared for their sick, disabled, and elderly since before we were ever modern man. Resources were shared even as skills specialized.

Capitalism isn’t natural. A community should not have members dying of starvation or exposure while there is an abundance of resources. That isn’t how it works. That isn’t how it’s supposed to work.

ok so my roommates are anthropology students and their favorite example for debunking the ‘survival of the fittest’ bs is shanidar 1. (x, x, x)

shanidar 1 is a neanderthal who, at a pretty young age, was hit in the head hard enough to blind him. this also led to that side of his brain shutting down and withering his right arm, and possibly crippling his entire right side. not only that but his skeleton also shows that at some point, he broke a bone in his foot and, in addition to the other factors, resulted in a noticeable limp. there are some sources which say he likely had degenerative diseases. (arthritis was really common in neanderthals)

going off of widespread ideas of “”primitive”” (no longer the word used in anthropology/academia to describe early-modern humans) societies, shanidar probably died really young, deliberately abandoned or killed. i mean, he was severely crippled, blind, etc., he couldn’t contribute anything, he would have been a “”burden to society””, right?

except he lived to be between 40 and 50 years old. (about ~80 in human years)

this means that his social group had to have taken care of him for a minimum of two or three decades without his ‘contributing’ anything significant to the group. this discovery (and Shanidar III’s) was huge because it basically proves that early humans had a concept of hospice. early modern humans cared for the sick and the elderly, greatly extending their lifespan, simply because they cared.

tl;dr: the concept of someone needing to be ‘’useful’’ or ‘’’productive’’’ in society in order to be valued and cared for is a very modern concept and our quasi-predecessors would be ashamed
