Perfect display of liberalism.

Some cunt sitting down and watching chaos happen but does nothing but sit there and hashtag it on twitter. Fuck liberals!

What’s up just a reminder that the Hula Girl stereotype can go to hell and is in part responsible for Hawai’i being the tourist destination and getting invaded by rich white people, and for Hawaiian culture being disrespected and appropriated

Here’s a few sources on the topic:

How America’s Obsession With Hula Girls Almost Wrecked Hawai’i (the site is weird but the research is legitimate, gives a good overview of the issue and references a lot of sources that are harder to get your hands on read: books)

“Pop” Goes Hawai’i: The Twentieth Century Origins of Tourism in Hawai’i and the Impact of U.S. Pop Culture on Women in the Islands of Aloha (this one is very long but a really good read)

Misperceptions of the “Hula Girl” (this one is a personal essay but it’s an entry in the University of Hawai’i’s academic newspaper)

[kiyokospeaks]

Cool cool so its Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month so I’m gonna uh. reblog this

[kiyokospeaks]

Also if you don’t have the time and/or energy to read through these articles lemme give you the basic breakdown (I’ll try to keep this short, but I’ll put it under the cut because it’ll probably still take up space)

Keep reading

For anyone who even THINKS about saying artists don’t contribute anything just remember EVERY. SINGLE. OBJECT in your fucking house, was DESIGNED by… ARTISTS. Every piece of media, your clothes, every fucking logo, YOUR PHONE IN YOUR FUCKING HAND. Had to be DESIGNED BY ARTISTS.

So shut the fuck up.

Mugshot of a 2-year-old Francois Bertillon, arrested for eating a basket of pears

Follow for more 1800s nostalgia

[nonlinear-nonsubjective]

#who the fuck arrested a two year old #what police officer was like YOU’RE COMING WITH ME SON #was it javert #i bet it was javert (x)

[luanna801]

So actually these photos were taken by the kid’s uncle, Alphonse Bertillon, who was a French police officer and inventor of the mug shot. These photos were just taken as a joke, probably when Bertillon was developing his mugshot technique and needed someone to practice on.

No actual two-year-olds were arrested in the creation of these photos!

“1880s nostalgia” with a pic from 1993 yes of course

if you could rb this esp if you’re non-muslim, it would be very appreciated. 

i’m always happy to see people supporting muslims. however, as the month of ramadan approaches, i’ve noticed a lot of the “nsfr (not safe for ramadan)” posts popping up. these are mainly made by white people, although some by muslims.

the whole point of ramadan is to be surrounded by food, water, swearing,(NSFW things are excluded from this post, those should be tagged) etc, and resisting the temptation to participate in anything. ramadan is about recognizing what we take for granted everyday and learning to appreciate it. we mindlessly feed our bodies food we don’t necessarily need everyday. to be able to let yourself be thirsty and hungry gives an insight to those who live like that daily, with no end to it. they do not get to just wait until the sun goes down to be able to eat a big meal surrounded by family. they continue to be hungry, regardless of what time of day it is. it reminds us of the struggles that poor and/or homeless people face. 

the point of fasting is to submit to Allah for as long as humanly possible, which is from dawn to dusk. fasting is indeed incredibly hard, that is true. seeing water when i fast is very difficult for me. however, people in countries who mass celebrate ramadan, go to work in the 100+ degree F weather, the kids at school don’t stop fasting just because they’re in school, etc. it’s slightly offensive that these posts are made “uwu!! be safe!! it’s hot out!!! don’t let yourself pass out!!!im tagging everything i can!!! uwu!!!” because most of those posts are made by people asking for notes rather than those who actually care about muslims. 

i’m going to wrap this up because it’s long, but please, don’t treat muslims like babies. we are mostly capable of seeing such things you guys tag during ramadan and not being affected. if you DO reblog posts about NSFR things, please do so FROM AN ACTUAL MUSLIM. 

thank you.

The ozone layer is healing and the holes are lessening in size! The damage could be completely reversed within our lifetimes!

[charlieism]

By in our lifetimes i mean that they’re predicting it could be majorly, if not entirely, fixed by 2060-2080 (x) 

However chloroform levels in the atmosphere are too high and are slowing down the progress. (x)

It is getting better tho! theres a little good environmental news!!

landlords are parasites. if you aren’t living in the house and will never live in the house you shouldn’t own it. 

it’s excess wasted on the greedy while the suffering sleep in the streets.

[justsomeantifas]

Rich people will intentionally buy up apartments and real estate to drive the prices of the market up to sell to other rich people who do the same shit.

so many homes are empty for years, decades, all because some rich person who can afford to keep paying taxes on an empty house they’ve never set foot in can hoard it waiting “for the right time”

they would rather throw money away than allow poor people to have housing for free. 

I will repeat, rich people would rather pay more money to keep homes empty than to have people living in them.

[justsomeantifas]

It’s cheaper on the government to house people than to leave them in the streets, it’s cheaper for many reasons

for instance less cost on medicaid from illness, this can be broken down in many ways,

mentally ill people are frequently homeless and find themselves in emergency rooms, and wards, which are still a cost on the government, but they never have their own housing autonomy, so the government will pay more for them to stay in wards. 

simply giving mentally ill people health insurance and housing is literally cheaper than the downward cycle of being homeless and then being in the system

giving housing to addicts and alcoholics had been shown to decrease the likelihood of them staying addicted, keeping them out of the system and out of rehabs.

less people are getting sick from folks in public with no real defense against the weather, diseases can spread by people, obviously

less emergency room costs from the dangers of living in the streets

higher likelihood of finding a stable job when they already have housing

and I can just go on and on.

meanwhile … instead of the cheaper option we allow people who larp as dragons to gobble up houses for years without letting anyone set foot in them.

we don’t even need to build more homes to house people, we just need to make it illegal to keep homes empty for years upon years.

Vancouver Canada has recognized the problem with empty homes and adds extra taxes to home owners who leave their homes empty, I personally think we should go further, but this is a well known problem is what I’m getting at.

[studiesandpoliticsnerd-deactiva]

Hi yes I’ve lived in Vancouver and despite the existence of that tax the amount of homeless people still present on the streets is insane and it hurts to look at a person sleeping on the street in the downtown as like four BMWs in a row drive past them

[justsomeantifas]

Taxing the rich isn’t enough.

Thought: If feeding everyone would break the economy then the economy deserves to be broken

[gayfeatherfiend]

Counter thought: The economy is already broken if it enables millions to starve.

Issues With Pornhub

I’ve seen a lot of conflicting opinions without a lot of sources so I figured I’d find some. As much as I’d love Tumblr to go back to more of what it once was, Pornhub is shady as hell.

General info on cam girls with explanation why Pornhub is bad for them

Piracy putting an adult star out of business

Pornhub (and MindGeek) stealing content, doxxing sex workers who file DMCA reports and gathering personal information

Video of independent adult creator begging Pornhub to stop stealing content (leads to Pornhub itself, do not click if under 18)

Pornhub’s policies regarding them owning any content you upload

‘By checking this box, I confirm my agreement to provide my content on an exclusive basis to Pornhub. Accordingly, I hereby license, assign, and convey to Pornhub the exclusive right to reproduce, distribute, publicly display and publicly perform online (including on websites or online platforms) any or all of the content that I have uploaded to Pornhub or will in the future upload to Pornhub.’

More info on why MindGeek owning Tumblr is bad

And more

[one-time-i-dreamt]

I didn’t know about any of this

[plaguerightsactivist]

if pornhub buys tumblr while the deals pending ill take all my art off this godforsaken site and yall should too bc their company has a policy that legally owns whatever work you upload to it

[djsherriff]

[blogsneaks]

WOW i didn’t expect my personal post as a heads up if i start removing my art in the future to blow up  but YEAH thank u! mindgeek is super fucking shady and notorious for stealing and exploiting content and dmcas are a nightmare that end up doxxing everyone that tries to take down their content and it’s overall definitely not a company i’d like my (entirely sfw!) art to be associated with, let alone possibly have the rights to. i’ve had a lot of art theft already, and i don’t need it to be more difficult.

obviously a deal hasn’t been made yet, but the company is very openly wanting to buy tumblr and if that happens i’m removing all my art from this website, and depending on any changes they make i’ll likely just leave the site completely. i for one was enjoying the nsfw ban and less bots…….

after the nsfw ban awhile back pornhub was encouraging artists to post their digital art to their site because it was ~welcomed~ and everyone then found out their tos/agreement is a nightmare and they basically own everything on their sites owned by mindgeek and could do what they wanted with your art/potentially profit off of it. also, again, i do not want my art associated with a porn company. at all.

Fractal

[radical-agriculture]

it’s gardening season! please don’t plant lettuces/greens directly into the ground in an urban area or close to a building without getting a soil test. the risk of lead poisoning is very high. if you can’t afford a soil test and you must plant into the ground, try to grow something where you will only be eating the fruit and not the leaves & stems (i.e. tomatoes, cucumbers, etc) bc there’s less of a chance that heavy metals will migrate to the fruit tissues. better yet, build a raised bed or plant in pots!

[thecringeandwincefactory-deacti]

Wow, I had no idea - thank you.

[gotlostinwonderstuff-blog]

It sucks that some people live in an area where that’s a risk. will share for those people.

I understand why people dislike leather and animal products. But leather is such a good resource? Like… My mom bought a sturdy leather coat in 1989. I’m in my 20’s and I now wear that coat. That’s a 30 year old coat? 30 years, two generations, one coat. Versus, like… A plastic one, that rips and gets thrown out, or releases bits into the ecosystem every time it’s washed, takes a billion years to decompose, lasts maybe a decade if you’re super duper careful, and uses oil products in it’s construction. Like, yeah leather is expensive and comes from a living animal, and I’m not saying that you should go out and buy fifty fur and leather products for the he’ll of it, but like… Maybe the compromise is worth it? One animal product, valued and respected and worn down for generations, versus like… Six plastic products that will never ever go away?

idk, I could be wrong.

[800-dick-pics]

this is why im so fucking pissed white colonial fucks and white vegans get so enraged at indigenous people for using hides/leather and animal bones as if that shit breaks or rips like cheap polyester does
