Well well well, if it isn't another Everything is Hypermobility video!

No, I did not crawl as a baby. My parents told me this decades ago. They were so amused by my locomotion: I'd sit up on my arms with my pelvis on the floor and my legs under me (like a frog but with my feet pointing back) and I'd push myself forward by flicking just one leg backwards.

Anyway, I tried this exercise now and um. How do babies do this? It's really hard!

People love natives in such a superficial way. People wanna stand with natives when we’re talking about the trees, and the land. People wanna stand with natives when we talk about philosophies of love and togetherness. But as soon as it’s time to talk about political side of being native. About dismantling a system built on the genocide of our people. About how we need a new system that isn’t built upon capital gain and benefitting white bodies. About putting up a fight. About how the colonial state we reside in is a disgusting imperial plague on this land. Suddenly y’all don’t wanna talk native.

"They spent hundreds of years trying to assimilate my ancestors, trying to create indians like me, who could blend in, but now they don’t want me either. They can’t make up their minds.

They want buckskin and face paint, drumming, songs in languages they can’t understand recorded for them but with English subtitles, of course. They want educated, well spoken, but not too smart. Christian, well behaved, never question. They want to learn the history of the people, but not the ones that are here now, waving signs in their faces, asking them for clean drinking water, asking them why their women are going missing, asking them why their land is being ruined.

They want fantastical stories of Indians that used to roam this land. They want my culture behind glass in a museum.

But they don’t want me." -Shelby Lisk

These words could just as well have been spoken by the Swedish indigenous people, the Sámi. I’m so angry on their behalf. New steps are being taken to encroach on their way of life. It’ll be on the news one day and then just dropped.

I mean, I’m Swedish too. But they’re the original inhabitants of northern Sweden. They should have more rights than my people, not fewer. We should conform to their ways, not the other way around.

you ever think about how funny it is that basically every animal on earth has a secret shiny player 2 palette swap just in its back pocket

[inhumaninterest]

Would it help to know there's more?

Melanism is the reverse of albinism, the animal has an excess of pigementation.

And then there's Abundism; where there's only a partial excess resulting in much larger patches of melanin but without completely covering the animal

And Leucism which is partial albinism.

Also erythrism which is an overabundance of red pigment and xanthism which is an overabundance of yellow pigment! Most domestic goldfish have xanthism, that’s what makes them gold (wild ones are brown)!

Why do they even make apps for ADHD. You want me to use my 24/7 handheld immediate distraction device? To manage my 'gets distracted too easily' disorder? Ooooh we developed the perfect tool for managing your anemia. Its hosted in Dracula's castle. 👍

Picked up my phone to consult my task list for today and now I'm reblogging this instead, case in point

Okay, I am really obsessed with this joke. I literally reblog it every time I see it.

Don’t get me wrong, I hate the very painful migraines more, but I do also really hate the super low-grade ones.

It’s like… I can do things or watch/listen to things, and even go outside, and be fully distracted… but I know I probably shouldn’t. I should probably lie in bed, in silence, eyes closed. And I should probably take my meds, triptans in particular. But bed is boring, plus it leaves me nothing to focus on but the discomfort. And triptans make my neck hurt, especially when I’m upright; I kind of have to lie still for two hours after taking those.

So then whenever I stop distracting myself, my head will be like “… actually…” and I’ll be like “well you could have said something then…” And every time, it’s a toss-up if it’ll all be over the next day or a lot worse because I didn’t rest like I should have.

Anyway… if I stop to notice it, half of my head feels like the skull has shrunk and some weird little creatures that are possibly made of electricity are trying to burrow out of it. Particularly in a dome shape over my ear, with detours to behind my eye. And I’m vaguely dizzy and vaguely nauseous and vaguely slow, and my neck is stiff, and my eyes won’t focus properly at any distance. It’s more annoying than anything.

UN backs historic climate crisis ruling, despite US attempts to stop resolution

The US, Russia, Iran and Saudi Arabia – some of the highest oil-producing nations and major greenhouse gas emitters – opposed the measure

From the article:

The UN has voted 141-8 to adopt a resolution backing a world court opinion that countries have a legal obligation to address climate change, with the US – which is the world’s biggest historical emitter – among the small group opposing it.

[idlewildly]

So today I learned that AI companies in the US are using small-business legislation loopholes to build enormous data centers with their own electrical systems. They’re not hooked up to the grid, they’re powered by dozens of fossil fuel-powered turbines on the premises. How will the millionaires make money off of collective enshittification if there are suddenly laws against that kind of thing?
