Humans are a communal species that have banded together and cared for their sick, disabled, and elderly since before we were ever modern man. Resources were shared even as skills specialized. 

Capitalism isn’t natural. A community should not have members dying of starvation or exposure while there is an abundance of resources. That isn’t how it works. That isn’t how it’s supposed to work.

ok so my roommates are anthropology students and their favorite example for debunking the ‘survival of the fittest’ bs is shanidar 1. (x, x, x)

shanidar 1 is a neanderthal who, at a pretty young age, was hit in the head hard enough to blind him. this also led to that side of his brain shutting down and withering his right arm, and possibly crippling his entire right side. not only that but his skeleton also shows that at some point, he broke a bone in his foot and, in addition to the other factors, resulted in a noticeable limp. there are some sources which say he likely had degenerative diseases. (arthritis was really common in neanderthals) 

going off of widespread ideas of “”primitive”” (no longer the word used in anthropology/academia to describe early-modern humans) societies, shanidar probably died really young, deliberately abandoned or killed. i mean, he was severely crippled, blind, etc., he couldn’t contribute anything, he would have been a “”burden to society””, right? 

except he lived to be between 40 and 50 years old. (about ~80 in human years)

this means that his social group had to have taken care of him for a minimum of two or three decades without his ‘contributing’ anything significant to the group. this discovery (and Shanidar III’s) was huge because it basically proves that early humans had a concept of hospice. early modern humans cared for the sick and the elderly, greatly extending their lifespan, simply because they cared. 

tl;dr: the concept of someone needing to be ‘’useful’’ or ‘’’productive’’’ in society in order to be valued and cared for is a very modern concept and our quasi-predecessors would be ashamed

Also, Shanidar I was buried with flowers. They cared about him after he was dead, too.

Minecraft is the scariest game ive ever played in my life

I like to call my chickens “beasties” or “fat little monster trucks” and other such affectionate terms, but dad seems to take offence whenever I do and always gently refers to them as “the girls,” “the ladies” and sometimes “the dames” when he’s putting them away, like he’s a butler shepherding a group of well-bred country lasses into the parlour for tea

Hot damn Alfred

[clownarmy]

So this implies that if Batman dies, Alfred Pennyworth is going to shoot every supervillain in Gotham twice

[bailesu]

Part of his background was being a spy, so he will likely nail each of them when they least expect it.  

[stone-faced-sunset]

Plot twist: Batman is the one holding Alfred back

[kyraneko]

Hot take: Batman can survive in Gotham on a no-killing principle through repeated fights with villains who have no such scruples because they all know that if they kill the Batman his butler is going to assassinate every last one of them with a shotgun.

The next time they tell you Americans are “happy” with their employer provided health insurance remember that that “happiness” is fueled by willful ignorance of what the alternatives are really like and fear of losing what little crappy health care they currently have.

whenever i see parents walking with their baby andtheyve got their baby between them i get so emotional im not describing it well but like this

i ran out of space for the other one so theyve only got 1.5 parents but its fine

[killer-catchy]

my parents used to do this to me when i was little - they’re both pretty tall, so they could easily swing me between them. my mom told me last week that once, after a pretty hefty snowfall, they were walking somewhere with me swinging me back and forth, as usual. because it was cold out i was wearing gloves, so on a pretty hard forward swing, i slip out of my gloves, flying through the air. i landed in a pile of snow

people saw. my mom still feels bad for laughing
