Raven is in a S❤ne World @idly-raven17 - Tumblr Blog

An interesting demonstration of how the human brain works.

But also something of a lesson regarding perception, and the unreliability of subjective perspective versus objective reality.

You can be extremely certain about how you perceive the world, your "lived experience," that which you "feel it in my heart." But that doesn't mean it's actually true. And it doesn't mean we have to endorse it, or ignore or outright deny objective reality.

That's a "you" thing, not a "we" thing.

Studying sustainability has taught me that the answer to things like “is it better to use paper or plastic bags?” always ends up being something like “we would need to perform an extremely in depth study on the entire life cycle of both types of bags from virgin material collection to product recollection, compare things like amount of product each type of bag can carry, material usage per bag, how frequently double-bagging is occurring, and take into account a ridiculous number of factors down to the fuel efficiency of the trucks that transport them and even after all that we would have to try to find a way to compare whether the higher carbon emissions of producing and transporting paper bags is better than the fact that the plastic bags will be plastic bags for the next thousand years. And at the end of the day all this research would ultimately not be particularly useful because our waste collection streams in the US are so fucking bad it’s depressing.”

And then someone will ask about reusable bags and you’d have to do the study again only to reveal that you need to use the reusable bag like a couple thousand times to offset the carbon emissions it takes to make the reusable bag and make it worth it over disposable bags and that’s not taking into consideration bags breaking before then or being forgotten about completely.

The answer always leads to “it’s incredibly complicated but our current practices are so terrible we would need a full scale restructuring of our economy and practices to such a degree that can literally never happen because our government is lobbied by the people who make money off of said unsustainable practices.”

So the answer to “paper bags or plastic bags?” is that we need to destroy capitalism

And yet some Americans loose their shit when they hear somebody speaking in Spanish in the streets or at a restaurant.

Being a long time Tumblr user makes you privy to a lot of deep magic because you were there when it was written. Like the old trend of blogs having autoplay in them. You would check a blog and music would start blasting. Over your music. As if the Geneva Convention wasn’t real.

GUYS I FOUND THEM:

THIS gorgeous, heart-wrenching piece by @amaltheaz

And THIS one by @capricious-wind

And then I also have to recommend this one by vox-ex over on Ao3 (who is writing some AMAZING pieces alongside season 3- highly recommended for Sanvers, Supercorp, and Danvers sisters fans).

I’m sure there are more but these are the ones I know.

La primera vez que vi esta película estaba en un viaje de autobus. Nunca me interesaron mucho las películas de dinosaurios así que estaba como meh. El peor Chris y el adolescente protagonista nunca me han gustado mucho pero de repente vi a Katie, yo no sabia quién era ella pero de repente comencé a ver la película seriamente, viendo pedacitos de Katie por aquí y por allá. Parecía ir adquiriendo más protagonismo y de repente... La matan. Puuuuuta madreeeeee. Mi día se arruinó. No terminé de ver la peli esa de mierda, jamás vi ninguna otra peli de dinosaurios.
