So i cant reblog anything just get an error... thanks @staff for fucking something else up.

So only the rich can have kids? The is literally eugenicism but okay

Everyone commenting on this says it’s Eugenics , but what the post said was financially prepared, not rich. As in if you’ve factored a child into your life and made the appropriate financial and life sacrifices it’s okay. Some poor people take better care of their children than wealthier people because they were willing and ready to put aside whatever it took to raise their child no matter what hardship they themselves will face, this actually incorporates both the mental and financial aspects of being ready to have a child. Whether you’re rich or poor, if you haven’t made a plan or set aside funds for your child it’s unfair to the child. Even if your preparation is making sure you’re on welfare, gathering food stamps and stocking up on free supplies, it’s enough to raise a child, just make sure you’ve prepared and are ready to do anything for that child.

that’s a really good point, thank you for explaining!

invincible-selfxmade-punk

The dumbest thing I’ve ever been told when trying to explain why I didn’t want kids was this: “If you wait until you’re ready, you’ll never have them. Sometimes you just have to do it anyway.” No. Literally no I do not.

also, that's not what eugenics is, eugenics is selectively pairing human beings for a genetically strong child. has nothing to do with finances

I want to apologise to

- Britney for making fun of her when she had her breakdown

- Monica Lewinski for judging her when she was a 22year old temp sexually assaulted by the most powerful man in the world

- Ke$ha for ever thinking she was trashy when all she wanted to do was make party music

- Kristen Stewart for ever thinking she was dumb when she’s actually one of the coolest people ever

- Megan Fox for ever thinking she was just a slut when actually she was an actress being harassed by her employer.

- Hating all the women who made a career out of having a hot body. Being is shape is hard, beauty is a weapon and auto promotion is hard work.

- All the Mary-Sues, who exist because young girls everywhere want to be part of a story they love so much

- All the female characters I ever snobbed because they got in the way of my ship.

- Hating the color pink during my teenage years, when it’s actually a lovely color and what I resented was society’s pressure to perform femininity.

This is what sexism does. The media runs a smear campaign against women. And when we were younger we knew no better and trusted them. Now we know better.

Pink is nice but it doesnt actually exist, no wavelength of light exists that combines red and violet, they’re on opposite sides of the spectrum “ I know, of course, that all colors are just waves of light, so every color we “see,” we see with our brains. But what this video says is that there is no such thing as a band of wavelengths that mix red and violet, and therefore, pink is not a real wavelength of light. That’s why pink is an invention. It’s not a name we give to something out there. Pink isn’t out there. “

our brains see pink, which shouldn't be, and kind of freak out and make it look like reddish violet, even though that’s not possible.

Everyone outside of USA:

US First responder here, Just some info for folks, you only get billed if a private ambulance company or a fire department transports. The medical service provided by your local fire department or FD/municipal paramedic is free. Call us when something goes wrong, We will show up and evaluate you/provide care (stop the bleeding, splint the injury, administer epinephrine) free of charge, And then you can have a friend or uber transport you to the hospital (or sign AMA and just stay home if you don’t want to go to the hospital either.)

Also, in a large number of counties, there are public paramedics paid for by the taxpayers, so ALS transport is free. I’d advise researching your local system.

Please don’t avoid calling 911 for a medical emergency because you’re afraid of bills, you have the right to refuse transport which is where the bills occur.

I have to repeat, you will NOT be billed for medical services provided on scene by the fire department/paramedics, And you have the RIGHT to refuse transport even if not going to the hospital will kill you.

still tho, a wambulance ride two towns over in Canada? 150$, fifteen towns over? with a helicopter? 400$

remember when the "nsfw ban" happened and everyone was like. Well i guess this is it. Bye everyone. and then kept posting

the sad thing is that was the perception, but really more than half of my favorite artists are just gone. not all of them even left somewhere else to find them. even artists i didn't follow, i now see their urls are deactivated on the bottoms of some of their posts that still circulate. maybe it didn't kill tumblr with the ban, but it sure as fuck killed the artist culture and half the artist population like it was fucking thanos.

that Vox article going around with the memes, about tumblr being bought for nothing, states that Tumblr lost 30% of its users in the 6 months after the ban. So, definitely not just an impression

hexidimentional

for me it was 90% of my dash, not 30

Just so you guys know, the toxic anti-vegan/vegetarian culture in online spaces is exactly what leads people into thinking that this kind of shit is okay.

thespecialpsycho

Other problems:

This can make a Hindu person violate their religious practices (as in the poor people will eat cow meat, which is a massively awful thing in their religion) You may very well be responsible for the death of a person with a serious allergy to contents of either food You may end up causing some issues for a person with autism or similar neurodivergent status You may be responsible for the hospitalization or death of a person with dietary restrictions in either dish You would be actively forcing people who you don’t know to violate their ethical principles for a sick joke, and there is a word for people who do things like this for no gain to themselves and just harm others “for fun” - EVIL! Literally the word is evil You’re breaking the law as far as I know - at the very least you’re making issues for the poor employees in doing this

Yea honestly I’m not particularly into veganism but I throwdown for them for exactly this reason. Violating other people’s diets without their knowledge is fucking awful and I just knew it would lead people to pulling stunts like this. I relate so hard to people not taking your dietary restrictions seriously as a Muslim, like if they had switched it with pork it would’ve been violating both my and Jewish people’s religious practices.

geekandmisandry

Never ever swap people’s food. It’s never funny, it’s never clever, it is always potentially life threatening, disrespectful and disgusting.

This is on the same level as switching diet for regular sodas, which can kill people. Don’t fuck with peoples food

This could literally kill someone

i went into a coma when we switched from sugary soda to drink every day to low sugar juice, my wife wanted to lose weight, i didn't know I was hypoglycemic

Millennials are Killing the Bed Frame Industry: Feminist Edition

Getting a $50 bed frame that gets your mattress off the floor will extend the life of your mattress. You sweat when you are sleeping and it seeps into the mattress. A lot of it evaporates from the surface, but some goes down in deeper. Over the years you could end up with mildew and rot at the bottom of your mattress. God forbid you have carpet under it, that would need replacing too. If your mattress has air flow under it, it will evaporate from both sides instead of mildewing.

I don’t think anyone ever told me why you get a mattress frame, that makes so much sense.

You guys, things happen in life because there has been a long history of events leading up to the invention of a product. If you’re ever in doubt about something, just Google the pros and cons.

starsofyesteryear

japanese style futons/shikibutons are cool for this bc they’re made to be moved and picked up after sleeping so the moisture and mold don’t build up. If you can lift up your western style mattress every day I’ll grant you can put that on the floor to because you can keep it clean and because I’m scared of how buff you must be

time to get fucking jacked, lads

Where the fuck did you get a solid $50 bed frame?!??!

Things food snobs are wrong about

“Organic” isn’t better for you or for the environment. It actually means nothing of any significance at best and is sometimes even the more wasteful, more hazardous option.

A shitload of “natural” food including a lot of imported produce is grown and harvested through slave labor in inhumane conditions.

Pizza, fried chicken, french fries, fast food, candy bars and chips ARE nutritious. They are loaded with good things. Just because they have an abundance of excess fats and might not be healthy as a staple doesn’t mean they are “nutritionless” or that their calories are “empty.” Those are hokey buzzwords pushed by the people in charge of how much you pay for the alternatives.

Eating healthier costs more. Much more. Looking down on people for their reliance on cheaper food is extremely classist and expecting everyone to be able to live off fresh veggies and cage-free meats is insultingly unrealistic in the modern world.

“Processed” literally only means the food went through some kind of automated process. This can be literally the exact same thing a human being would have done to the food for it to be labeled “unprocessed.” Being processed does not make something less healthy.

Chemicals with long, scary names are part of nature. An apple is full of compounds you probably can’t pronounce. A shorter ingredients label only means they didn’t bother listing all 300 things the product is actually made of and HAS to be made of.

Preservatives, artificial flavors and other additives are not the devil. Most are harmless and in general they are part of the reason you haven’t already starved to death or died of a food borne illness.

MSG is not bad for you at all.

The fact that something might be made of “scrap” meats like pig snouts or chicken necks only means one thing: that we didn’t waste perfectly normal, edible meat.

I DON’T KNOW HOW I FORGOT THIS IN MY FIRST VERSION OF THIS POST BUT GMO’S ARE NOT DANGEROUS TO EAT. GMO’S ARE SAVING LIVES. YOU’VE ALREADY EATEN GMO’S BEFORE YOU EVEN KNEW THE TERM. IT’S FINE. EAT THEM.

So I’ve literally done this twice before and so have several other people but here are sources on all of these, most of them fairly recent academic studies or otherwise the most up-to-date I could find:

Organic food isn’t better for you: [1] [2] [3]

Tracing food industry slave labor: [1]

Healthier food is more expensive: [1] [2]

Saturated fats (i.e. “junk food”) still provide needed energy, aren’t as bad as people thought: [1] [2]

“Processed” isn’t synonymous with less healthy, because it means a lot of different things: [1]

“Chemicals” also means a lot of things and many food components are misunderstood by the general public: [1]

MSG is not harmful: [1] [2] [3]

GMO’s are not dangerous to eat: [400 sources collected here]

“Processed” always gets me, it’s like yeah even that delicious homemade salsa you brought to the party is processed - the moment you took a knife to the tomatoes it underwent processing

hexidimentional

MSG intolerance, allergy, is a very real thing, however, if your stomach hurts or you get a headache after eating MSG containing foods its wise to consult your family doctor whether you should avoid msg or if you’re allergic to other things common to MSG containing foods. I thought my wife was allergic to msg until we discovered it was far worse, she’s tomato intolerant.

more-oc-questions

I'm curious--how do you guys go about creating your OCs?

hexidimentional

Lets make something cool or cute, now lets ruin their life.

Is your landlord a piece of shit and refusing to fix stuff around your place? If you’re living in the US, most cities have a section on their website for building code enforcement. Find the contact information for the department and tell them what’s happening. Make bureaucracy work for you! The government will contact your landlord and if they don’t comply they will be fined! The threat of losing money is a mighty motivator and they’ll most likely get their shit together within a day or two.

My ceiling was leaking for two weeks without me hearing anything from management besides “we’ll get to it”. Literally the DAY after I emailed the code enforcement department, management came by with a contractor to give me estimates on when my roof would be fixed. This shit works y’all

thearthistorygeekau

I don’t normally post or reblog about this on my Tumblr, but this is important. I tried this and it made our landlord so mad that they accused us of not letting them in to fix the apartment, told code enforcement these lies, and threatened to evict us. If you do this, make sure you document EVERYTHING.

hexidimentional

i’m fortunate that if i actually complain its done within 12 hours. our water heater exploded at 11pm and it was fixed by 10am

did student debt do something problematic??

hexidimentional

yeah, the 50,000+ loan americans take to go to college is like 10,000 in any other country because like health insurance privatization has lead to a rediculous inflation of prices to the end user

He has reappropriated the aesthetic of a Victorian industrialist and is using it to DECREASE pollution. He is a master of irony, a true subversive, and an inspiration to us all.

Harley & Ivy

spoonie-sone-deactivated2016101

This is why I love them!

kamdjdndknsssnsshs-deactivated2

Harley is an abuse survivor of course she’d wreck this dude!!!

Can I just say how much I love the implications here? Harley and Ivy are known public figures. People know who they are, and recognize them. And this kid knows that, despite being violent criminals, they’re safe enough to go to for protection. Ivy is dead certain that the Batfamily will be okay with them intervening to protect a kid. That has some intersting implications - either she knows damn well where the lines lie and that this is overriding enough to get her a pass, or (more likely, given the first bit) this has come up before.

one of my favorite tropes is villains acting heroically not because the other villain is a threat to them or because it benefits them, but because they have standards

hexidimentional

its pretty simple, robbing and stealing are crimes against the law of man, abusing a child is a crime against nature, ivy doesnt respect the law of man she respects the law of nature.

I need information about where to buy this hat.

Found it!!

The Book of Names lists each person murdered at Auschwitz

squishymamasboy

#and you have to remember how many names are most likely missing#from rushed trains and burned lists#from rushed transports and people who died on the death marchs#what about the names from people who died after their liberation#and then…#this is only Auschwitz#this was the biggest camp yes#but just one of many#and then remember sobibor and belsec#and try not to feel sick

This is why we punch Nazis. This is why this vile ideology must be stamped out viciously every time it tries to come out of its hole.

Never. Again.

hexidimentional

this is just Auschwitz... one of several such facilities... look at the font size...
