It’s so weird to me that tumblr isn’t obsessed with fem volleyball like…it’s literally bunch of Amazon-like gay goddesses with immaculated arms and unparalleled beauty playing of one the most technical driven and exciting group sports in the world yet nobody here seems to give a shit
I never really got supergirls fandom obsession with strong arms bc let’s face it Melissa it’s not even that beefy but then I saw Rosamaria and I was like…..maybe you got a point
Although the glasses were only around a foot away, there was something immensely satisfying about seeing them zoom towards him, at least until they poked him in the eye.

"Capitalism is a PERFECT system. The problem is that humans are imperfect"
Are you stupid. Are you dumb. What the fuck are you on about. What fucking use is a perfect system that falls apart any time it is applied to the people it was designed for.
Also, what an utter non-statement. What an idea completely devoid of meaning. What the fuck did you contribute with this. It's like if I were like "This is the perfect boat, but the problem is when you try to put it on the water" like cool thanks that really makes me think
“this paint is really great! there’s one minor problem where, upon contact with canvas, it explodes in a fireball and then commits war crimes, but other than that it’s perfect. five stars”
being a woman is thinking ur the ugliest person ever and then coming across a photo of u as a kid when u had already started to hate ur appearance and realizing u were so cute and then u do this every so often for the rest of ur life and u never learn
I know it's tough for everyone but please, please be extra nice and patient with little kids right now. they're going through so much, we're not going to understand the amount of worldwide trauma these kids have for years, but for context: a five year old who has memories only from the age of three has spent HALF their conscious life under quarantine. they haven't interacted with other kids in person. they've only seen people with masks. they've spent all this time in a home with distressed adults and little stability without truly understanding why. for a massive chunk of their conscious life. so if a kid comes up and talks to you just let them have your attention for a few minutes. don't snap at a child crying or having a meltdown in public, and don't make the parent feel guilty. it's not that difficult to be kind.

bonus:
I know I’ve already reblogged this but I absolutely love this old timey adhd info graphic
lil nas x being so outrageously gay and so aggressively unapologetic is what ive been fucking waiting for.
ppl say "we get it ur gay stfu already" and he says ok imma make a whole music video with butt ass naked men
like, he will not stop in order to make the straights comfortable and im fucking living for it
That absolute pride and happiness that I get from seeing everything he does or publishes is just great, there really is no way to describe how great everything he is doing is.
And the fact that he responds so brilliantly only makes me adore him more.

I literally have like 5 days left if anyone can help
recreational space travel is objectively immoral
i am like. absolutely livid.
CO2 emissions for one ~4 person tourist space trip are 50-100 times higher than the emissions from one long-haul air flight. One SpaceX flight generates the annual carbon footprint of 278 people. Space travel is the equivalent of vomiting greenhouse gases directly into the atmosphere and it is like spitting in the rest of the world’s face.
People literally are getting sick from West Coast wildfire smoke in NYC, Philadelphia, and Toronto right now. Extreme weather has caused flooding in Germany that has killed more than 150 people. The heat wave in the Northwest in June killed hundreds. The entire American West is going through a drought with the some of the most extreme conditions they have seen in 20 years. We are living through a climate crisis that is going to get worse and worse and worse and it is not only evil and cruel to refuse to do anything about it (with your BILLIONS of dollars!) but absolutely morally rotten to continue contributing to climate change that will kill millions.
Private space travel is irredeemable and evil.
Oiled bare-chested men wearing beautiful skirts is actually what the Olympics are all about
Things the americanised internet thinks is cute:
Dark Academia (photos of white kids in fancy uniforms at british private schools/redbrick universities)
Cottagecore (loads of photos of upper/middle class british gardens, houses, and villages)
British period dramas (literally just members of the gentry/nobility wafting around looking elegant)
Things the americanised internet thinks is funny and/or gross:
the british working class accent (notably the Multicultural London English dialect)
'chavs'
any british poverty food - baked beans on toast, cheap cut pies, chip butties, etc
pretty much any british regional accent (i know you cant understand louis from one direction pls just shut up about it. the upper class monopolises the media and arts so naturally you're more used to their accent)
when british people have bad teeth (dental care is not covered by the NHS and many working-class people cannot afford care out-of-pocket)
that the national dish is a curry. even though its a specific dish created (or at the very least heavily adapted) in the UK by the British Bangladeshi community? I lose my shit over this one. Like seriously the way you guys talk sometimes its like you think 'british' is synonomous with 'white'. You can't just erase entire communities to fit your narrative. I won't get too much into the racial aspects of all of these points but it's important to note jamaican, african, and south asian immigrants have brought a lot to british working class culture specifically. Like... you guys think its bad that they continued to enjoy their own cuisine and share it with the people around them once they got here? I swear some of you go so far with cultural appropriation you come right back around to 'everyone should go back where they came from'.
I understand most of you aren't surrounded by the cultural framework to understand how classist you sound talking about modern britain, but you are not immune to british propaganda just because you do not live here, in fact you're probably less immune as you (somewhat understandably) do not have the cultural knowledge to notice the red flags. But ignorance isn't a good enough reason to propogate classism thoughtlessly. I'm not saying you can't engage with elements of cottagecore or dark academia, but you definitely can't put repackaged aspects of middle and upper class british culture on a pedestal and then shit on all the aspects associated with the working class its so blatantly fucked up. Theres a good reason a lot of British people get so touchy about strangers on the internet mocking the rhotic british accents, americans just don't understand it because class-specific accent privilege doesn't exist within your cultural framework in the same way. You clearly all decided British people can't take a joke, but honestly it's just you're being a lot more offensive than you realise.
Do you not see how deeply wrong it is that so many of you seem to enjoy the superior feeling you get from trampling another culture? You guys will straight-up whitewash britain just so you don't feel guilty about it. You clearly think you're punching up but you're not, being british does not ensure affulence or 'whiteness' any more than being american does, and whenever any of you goes to say anything about Britain in a non-historical context all that comes out is pure classist ignorance as you leave middle/upper class britain absoloutely untouched. So educate yourselves, please. Working-class americans have more in common with working-class brits than they do anyone above them on the social ladder in the US.
The American replies are completely missing the point. We all know that America has a form of class system, as well as differently perceived accents. This is the case for basically every country around the world. What you don’t understand is that the class system in Britain is extremely prominent. It is essentially the root cause of nearly all of our current problems and inequality. The RP accent is not just an accent that comes from good education, or the area you grew up in, it is a tool that has been specifically created in order to divide people, a tool that has been created to separate, oppress and differentiate.
Living in Britain, not a single day goes by when our class system isn’t prominent. Every time the news is turned on, we see the country controlled by those who were rich enough and privileged enough to obtain the correct education and the correct accent. Every day, we are bombarded with propaganda about the “superiority” of the RP accent and the middle/upper class lifestyle. Every TV show I watched as a child on the BBC had a majority of middle class actors/voice actors with the RP accent. It is literally drilled into the heads of British children that the RP accent and the middle/upper class is superior.
A good example is my father, who comes from a working-class background, yet he was lucky enough to go to a private school, and as a result he obtained the RP accent, and is now privileged and respected wherever he goes. The working class accent, which is basically every accent in the UK that isn’t the RP accent is looked down upon by those who are oppressing the nation and is seen as inferior. Half the country is locked out of good education, half the country is told from the day they’re born that their accent and their class is inferior. Yes, Americans also experience class and accent prejudice, but how many times a day are working class Americans specifically told by their teachers, their TV, their news outlets, their peers, and their family that their class and accent is inferior? Because for British people it is every. single. day.
I know that America understands what a class system is like, and the privileges that come with having certain accents. What you don’t understand is the extent that it controls life in Britain, and how much of our history has been dictated by it, and how many people are suffering daily because of it.
And I could go into a full history lesson, I could go into how every minority in the UK, whether it be racial minorities or the LGBTQ+ community is effected by the class system, and perhaps I will at a later date. But any American coming into the replies hitting me with “we have a class system too, we understand.” No, you don’t. I’m sorry, but you don’t.
The fact that grimes commented lmfaooooo
She's actually "correct" in a nefarious way by asking you to Google it yourself because, yeah, OP is wrong. He doesn't use child slavery to source lithium...
He uses child slavery to source cobalt to make lithium batteries
So by asking you to do your own research on the lithium sources, she's derailing in his favor.
This is the same tactic the United States Atomic Energy Comission (now just the Department of Energy) intentionally misinformed uranium miners, mine owners, mill employees, and the general public during the uranium boom in the 40s-60s.
The AEC would put together "informational" seminars, videos, and presentations as propaganda for mine staff, miners, downwinders, the public, anyone involved. Their main tactic was the insistence that "Uranium is so weakly radioactive, it presented no hazard in uranium mines " and while that is *technically* correct, Uranium isnt what kills you, its the Radium and Radon that Uranium decomposes into... the VERY carefully selected words by people headong organisation are always insidious. Dont expect them to mean anything but exactly what they say.
The worst part is this tactic WORKS and we need to be pointing out the other part of the story not being told by these people whos only agenda is to grow their bank account while sacrificing human lives.
how effective? if youve played fallout you may have heard on the radio the real world song from the 40s ‘uranium fever’ about people who were hoping to strike it rich by literally just wandering around the desert with a giger counter hoping to find deposits of radioactive material they could then prospect and sell like they were stinky pete finding gold nuggets. the misinformation was that widespread thats a real chunk of history that is so bonkers you can use it as satire right under peoples noses and they dont register its disturbing meaning
Oh no, we just couldn’t have that now, could we?
Literally should be the point of renewable energy. The point of society in general should be to make as many things cheaper or free as possible.
