every day it just concerns me how little compassion people have. no compassion for those living in the global south. no compassion for immigrants. no compassion for disabled ppl. no compassion for addicts. no compassion for prisoners. no compassion for children. like holy shit ...
i made a separate post about this but actually there are plenty of people cough white people who care about animals more than they ever do human people . not what i'm talking about make your own post

I invented a new trend called “drink sleepy tea and go to bed”
It's just a fad, it'll pass.
Think again. China has been doing this trend I just invented for over 4,000 years.
This is an art piece by Rick Gibson, and yes, it works.
It was placed in different nightclubs for a total of three days, and over 1,200 people decided to pay to use it
Putting this by the entrance of my future home

Very big fan of the emoji combos you've been pulling lately. The offputting sun is really the finishing touch. Bless 🌞✨️💛✨️💪
Wh. What does she look like on your phone

never take for granted the moments when you’re not nauseous
For some reason that makes no sense to me, the english language doesn't have a distinct verb for "thinks/believes falsely" in contrast to just "thinks" or "believes" without judgement on whether their convictions are grounded in reality or not.
Question: is this 'falseness' known to the thought-holder? Who adjudges the truth of the thought and on what basis?
How and why would you hold a belief that you are aware to be factually incorrect?
Looking at things cynically, it's almost impossible to reason out that things are 100% correct/incorrect. Someone can hold a belief due to faith or certain information and still be aware that the probability that they are right is unlikely, believing in it anyway because it serves them. This can be either good or bad.

Maybe it’s not your real belief and you’re playing devil’s advocate for some reason
Or just in a debate class or something
Holding a belief is like wearing pants. You either are, or are not, actively wearing them. Owning a pair of pants that is currently on the floor and not on your person is a different matter than wearing them.
You can't have your opinion and disagree with it too.
*voice of a guy currently wearing two pairs of pants, one only on his right leg, the other only on his left* uhm. Hi.
You're still wearing them. Wearing one pant leg in one leg and another in the other still counts as wearing both pairs of pants. They don't cancel each other out. If I put sweatpants on top of jeans, they don't cancel out and make me pantsless.
What if I'm wearing a pair of pants that I've been wearing since I was a baby and then I find this new pair of pants that contrast my old ones. The new pair of pants really resonate with me and I think they're more realistic than my old pair but they're not as comfy as them.
See, the old pair of pants are more positive and give me hope but the new pair is grounded in reality. So I wear the new ones because they are unfortunately more realistic pants for me but I really wish my old pair were more in fashion. I'm wearing my new pants but the child in my heart is wearing my old ones. And so I end up simultaneously wearing my old pants and my new ones, not really sure which one is right.
I defend and attack both fashion choices vehemently and equally when provoked.
Here's the thing.
Some people in life are haters, but you have to remember that some of those haters have read a specific Klance fanfic 111 times and once a fanfic about two birds.
So maybe don't listen to the haters.
shawty's like a malady in my head
That I can't keep out, got me screaming like
AAAAAAAAAAAAGAHAGAHAHAGAHAGHAGAHHHHH
TADC has officially destroyed me. No one can convince me Jax doesn't live on.
The most important thing you can do is make an imprint
my lukewarm Lockwood and Co take is that I think Lucy underestimates her appearance but simultaneously overestimates Lockwood’s, so they actually average out as a perfectly normal, mediocre looking pair of teenagers whose descriptions are greatly filtered through LucyVision.
I get this, but at the same time i fully believe that lucy and lockwood are the hottest ghostfighting couple to rome the earth.

HEY wanna read but annoyed on where to find copies of books?
Here's an archive with millions of PDFs of books and papers and magazines and essays and stuff.
I've been looking for such archives, thanks
i was not going to publish this essay because i don’t like to yell but here the fuck i am.
the first link broke, here you go
BEGGING us to read nonfiction every now and then. Like. Words on page. It doesn't have to be the only thing you do, but you gotta keep in practice with it. No easier people to subjugate than those who question nothing they're told.
The most annoying thing in a service job is bring a group of people their order and telling them what it is only for them to blank completely and just stare at you for 5 minutes.
Like BITCH U ORDERED IT, WHY R U CONFUSED ?!?¿
as a younger person I'd sometimes get overwhelmed with the violence of the world, not just human violence but the violence done to animals and by animals, the innate violence of being an animal. because an animal is, by definition, an organism that must consume other organisms to live. and this would lodge in my spiraling young adult mind, the tragedy that to live, to be a creature, is to cause harm. that life is sustained by consuming life.
eventually I got older (and medicated), but in the meantime spending time in woodland really helped. it comforted me to be around plantlife, which feeds not on life but on sunlight, and therefore causes no harm.
anyway now I'm reading The Hidden Life Of Trees by Peter Wohlleben (incredible book) and it turns out that was a big fat LIE. forests are violent as FUCK
life as a tree is fucking BRUTAL. ok no they don't actually eat each other (well, not until they've been broken down and digested by microorganisms first) but competition is FIERCE. sunlight and water are finite resources. survival rates are dismal. a tree can release a million seeds in a lifetime and have only one offspring live to maturity. some species evolved ways of stealing sunlight from trees who got there first, bidding their time as a sapling then shooting out from under older canopies to hog as as much light as possible. next-door neighbors? fuck em, let em starve.
then you get shit like epiphytes that decided to just grow on top of other plants. strangler fig vines, for instance, which decided well fuck, im just gonna cling to this tree trunk and let it do the support work. maybe entangle our roots and envelope my host completely over time. oopsie my host died? that's ok I'll just cling to its corpse for eternity
equally horrifying is the honeysuckle, which preys on young trees boa-constrictor style, squeezing the life out of saplings, which grow with permanent deformities before dying prematurely (makes for a neat walking stick though)
then you get out and proud parasites like mistletoe who are happy to attach themselves to tree canopies and suck their blood extract water and nutrients. so yeah some plants do eat each other actually. gives ya some perspective on the old christmas tradition of hunting mistletoe with guns (yes that's a thing, shooting them down out of trees like squirrels. yes, unlike squirrels they deserve it). as for the romance angle, who doesn't want to kiss a lover beneath the dying corpse of a parasitic trophy kill? sexy as heck.
in conclusion, PLANTS ARE VIOLENT AS FUCK, and that's not even getting into the eternal chemical warfare they are forced to wage against insects, fungi, microbes and other enemies.
one day soon the forests will turn on us, and when that day comes I'm cheerfully betraying humanity and skipping away to cross enemy lines 🫡
kofi
to those who thought this post was heading in a heartwarming direction, i do NOT apologize and i DO hope the forest and its creeping mycelium tendrils crawl their way into your nightmares
