Because you can't just tell them what's on your mind.

You also have these baby teenage mutant ninja turtles to protect you.

He’s protesting the construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) in Mauna Kea! Say the name of the location and who’s trying to set up the TMT!

Jason Momoa says he can’t start shooting “Aquaman 2”… because he “got run over by a bulldozer” while protesting construction of a giant telescope on land considered sacred to native Hawaiians.

“Sorry Warner Bros we can’t shoot ‘Aquaman 2,'” he wrote in an Instagram post. “Because Jason got run over by a bulldozer trying to stop the desecration of his native land THIS iS NOT HAPPENING. WE ARE NOT LETTING YOU DO THIS ANYMORE. Enough is enough. Go somewhere else.”

In a followup post, Momoa asked fans to support the protest movement, writing, “During this time, we are trying to unite both kānaka and Hawai’i born peoples alike to protect not only the mauna, but also our way of life and greatest natural resources in Hawaii as a whole.”

Momoa has spent several weeks protesting on the highest point on the state of Hawaii, Mauna Kea, in an effort to stop construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT), a $1.4 billion scientific project underwritten by a group of universities in California and Canada as well as partners in China, India and Japan.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson also has been protesting the construction of the telescope last month, he made a surprise visit to the dormant volcano.

Escaping Poverty Requires Almost 20 Years With Nearly Nothing Going Wrong

The MIT economist Peter Temin argues that economic inequality results in two distinct classes. And only one of them has any power.

Class warfare = systemic racism.

why is it not more wellknown that women can have an actual literal disorder that not rarely makes them literally suicidal for up to 10 days every month before their period lmao like… teach this in class? it’s not a joke?

[lunasdarling]

Wait what??

[chocmartini-deactivated20210419]

here here here (there’s more sites saying the same thing)

it’s called PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) and it’s basically PMS but make it Super Hardcore, it’s a hormonal disorder and to my knowledge they’re not exactly sure what causes it - there’s theories tho - but there seems to be little research on anyway. As I said it’s similar to PMS in terms of symptoms [mood swings, lethargy, cramps, changed sleeping pattern, libido, appetite] but the symptoms get so severe that they are interfering with your daily life and impacting it negatively. Especially in terms of psychological symptoms, it doesn’t go that far for everyone who has it and not every month but a lot of the people who experience it are sent into a severe depressive episode beause of it and it’s really not rare at all for them to experience legitimate suicidal thoughts because of it that go away the second they get their period (or up to two days in from what I’ve read).

I’ve read different claims on how many people it affecte, some sources say 5%, other 8%, others say 2% so I don’t know about that, but menstruating people need to know this lmao. Not knowing that your suicidality is caused by a literal physical disorder that you have can be so dangerous, especially when you already struggle with such issues anyway or are trying to recover from mental illness and don’t realize that your “relapses” are symptoms of an actual disorder.

also I originally said women but of course this applies to menstruating trans men and nb folks too.

Since I already brought up my university’s chaplain once today, I thought I’d share with you the best advice he ever gave me.

If someone is suffering and you want to help, instead of saying “let me know if there’s anything I can do,” offer a few options of things you know you can do.

“Can I do your dishes while you study for your exam?”

“Would it help if I came to the waiting room with you?”

“I can distract you if you like.”

When someone’s suffering, making them choose how to be helped can sometimes be an extra burden, especially if they don’t know how serious your offer is. By giving examples, they only need to say yes/no, and they know you wouldn’t offer anything too big for you to handle.

[autoimmuneamy]

“Do you want to talk about it or be distracted from it” is honestly the best thing you can say to me when I say im sad/in pain etc.

[luckytwodollarbill-deactivated2]

this is really good advice to say to anyone who is upset

This is humanity put to good use. Screw all the stuff that’s happening these days, this is basically the only reason I like us stupid ape people. Little things like this, designed to keep us all happy and busy

Marriage is good and weddings are great but I hate modern wedding culture. You don’t need to bankrupt yourself to have a nice wedding. Stop supporting the wedding industry, stop buying outrageously priced engagement rings, stop spending 10k on a dress you’ll only ever wear once.

[tidy-tidings]

Coming from a professional event planner - weddings are egregiously expensive because companies openly raise prices at the word “wedding.” 

Pro Tip - Never drop the word wedding while planning if you don’t need to. Most things can be for “an event you’re planning.” This obviously doesn’t include things like the venue, DJ (who needs specific wedding songs), and the wedding dress company if you’re going that route versus just buying a dress.

For my wedding I got “discounted” cupcakes, flowers, decor, bridesmaids dresses, groomsman attire, and invitations. I did this by either searching for things that aren’t marketed for weddings or not telling the companies I was working with it was for a wedding. Because honestly, most of the time they don’t need to know why you’re ordering.

These companies target people planning their weddings and markup everything the second “wedding” is said. And it’s said often because people assume the services change exponentially for weddings. They absolutely do not. 

The best example are the cupcakes I had for my wedding. I used a designer cupcake store in town instead of spending $1000 on a wedding cake. If you place a large order of cupcakes with a cake tree for display - it costs about $150 for 100 (which is what I did). When you order their “wedding” package - the price raised to a $700 base for 100 cupcakes. The only other perk includes a “tasting.” Forget that. Our tasting was buying a few cupcakes in flavors we thought we’d like and picked three. It cost maybe $20. 

What these companies do is scummy and targets people who don’t have information about the event industry.

I will yell it from the rooftops until people realize there’s a better way.

also hey thirteen and under year olds that are following me, i cannot stop you from going on this site but at least use the block button very very freely

it is absolutely fine to block people that you feel unsafe around - especially if you’ve already made it clear to them you’re uncomfortable and they don’t leave you alone

oh! and if they guilt you about it? you’re allowed to have boundaries. nobody’s entitled to you. thanks for coming to my ted talk

Help a Native trans youth keep studying/sustain their income

My dear two-spirit Native friend is disabled and they need a computer for education and general survival since their only source of income are art commissions. The computer they have is rapidly dying, so they’re crowdfunding to replace it. Any help towards them getting a new one and reblogs are greatly appreciated :) thank you!

Yesterday while romancing ourselves/each other for Valentine’s Day, Alecia said when she was in middle school she had this idea that she’d be married by now. She thought she would be married by the age of 23, and here she is still unmarried and about to turn 27. She admitted she had some anxiety about it, because she envisioned this long, The Notebook-esque romance. The ‘we’ve been married for over 50 years’ type romance, and the longer she remains unmarried the less likely that will happen for her.

But then she said, “I realized I have that with you.” 

We’ve been best friends since we were 12, and now we’re 26, and when we’re 62 and still best friends we will be able to say we’ve had this amazing 50-year-long romance and that it’s still going strong.

This kind of love is just as valuable as romantic love. Our relationship is purely platonic and we romance each other all the time! We wax poetic about how meaningful our friendship is and check in often to make sure the other feels loved and appreciated and validated. Our friendship is such a stabilizing force in our lives, and we’re really fortunate to know that no matter what, we’re here for each other on equal terms of unconditional love.

So I just want to put it out there for anyone getting antsy about not being married: your longest, most fulfilling relationships don’t have to be with a romantic partner. Sometimes it’s your best friend from middle school, or your sister, or someone else! If you’re fortunate enough to feel a close kinship with someone - and it doesn’t have to be with someone you’ve known for 15 years, maybe you’ve known each other only a few months - if you’re fortunate enough to feel close to someone else, let love flourish between you! Platonic love will make you feel just as fulfilled and happy in the end, I promise!
