dandelions deserve more respect than they get

you say “weeds” I say “widespread non-native edible plant and early-blooming pollinator resource that is not considered invasive because it behaves politely and does not cause deleterious ecological consequences”

[mettic]

The dandelions aren’t gonna fuck you bro

[glumshoe]

they have and they will

She had third degree burns on her genitals, needed a skin graft to repair the damage and was permanently disfigured, and left disabled for two years. Part of her original $20,000 claim was for her daughter's lost income while she cared for her. Also, there were 700 previous complaints of people being burned by McDonald's coffee, which they quietly paid off. They offered Liebeck $800.

[deathtalksaboutlife]

Stella Liebeck was 79 years old at the time of the incident, and the settlement helped her pay for a live-in nurse as she was partially disabled for two full years after being so badly burned she went into shock. She passed away in 2004 with little to no quality of life per her own daughter. She originally sought $20,000 dollars to cover her eight day hospital stay (including skin graphs) and compensation for her daughter's lost wages after she spent three weeks providing round-the-clock care.

Incidently, liquids served at 190 degrees is capable of causing third degree burns--which cause severe, permanent damage all the way to the muscle layer--within 3 seconds of contact with human skin. If you have a strong stomach, you can even find photographic evidence of her wounds with a quick google search. This didn't stop almost every major news outlet perpetuating MacDonald's coordinated smear campaign against her. MacDonalds' justification for this was basically, well, all fast food is hot and we have better things to worry about. Literally. This deliberately manufactured overly litigious gold digger stereotype is still remembered today via the Stella Awards, which mocks all the "frivolous" lawsuits against your favorite brands. Named after a little old lady who was permanently disfigured and handicapped from a ridiculously dangerous product.

Classy.

Never, ever take a corporation's side over a private citizen when lawsuits are involved.

[thebiscuiteternal]

She eventually died under the care of a live-in nurse from infection complications due to the fact that the damage had to be treated repeatedly over multiple years. While being mocked *worldwide* and constantly hassled by the media. The last few years of this woman's life were a miserable hell because McDonald's was too cheap to pay her medical costs when she asked.

Trope that can die:

Grown men telling their small sons to “take care of things now” like their grown, capable mother isn’t standing right there, listening.

[lilbittydragon-deactivated20241]

In addition to being misogynist, it’s emotional child abuse. Children already suffer with ideas of being more responsible for their families than they are. Many children blame themselves for divorces, parental arguments, deaths in the family, etc. Literally telling a child they’re responsible for the whole family is emotional abuse.

[dezlet]

Can we add the thing where a girl grows up without a mother and she’s the one taking care of her dad? Like, grown up and picking up after him and getting his meals ready for him? Daughters without mothers are not replacement wives!

Just saw a spicy hot take in the notes of an ADHD post that was like “adhd isn’t a mood disorder stop making excuses” from a supposed fellow ADHD person and like yes, ADHD is not exclusively a mood disorder. It’s 4 of them hiding under a trench coat with 15 other neurological disorders. And also:

ID, a screen grab from an article that reads: About 70 percent of adults with ADHD report problems with emotional dysregulation, going up to 80 percent in children with ADHD. In clinical terms, these problem areas include:

-Irritability: issues with anger dysregulation – “tantrum” episodes as well as chronic or generally negative feelings in between episodes.

-Lability: frequent, reactive mood changes during the day.

-Recognition: the ability to accurately recognize other people’s feelings. Individuals with ADHD may tend to not notice other people’s emotions until pointed out.

-Affective intensity: felt intensity – how strongly an emotion is experienced. People with ADHD tend to feel emotions very intensely.

-Emotional dysregulation: global difficulty adapting emotional intensity or state to situation.

/end ID. (Source)

Like not to be wildly and irrationally peeved about this, but bully for you if you don’t experience this as part of your ADHD, but over 70% of us do and saying we’re making excuses or not trying hard enough is the exact same shit neurotypicals say to invalidate us, and causes us real harm. Please don’t do the same thing. Trauma inflicted by neurotypicals is a huge part of why living with ADHD is so difficult. We don’t need it from within our own community too.

We all experience this shit show disorder differently. It’s a spectrum of one size fits no one, not a cookie cutter mold to fit into.

And yeah, you know what, this shit isn’t an excuse to behave badly, but you know what, knowing emotional dysregulation is a symptom of ADHD helps you to treat it and work on getting a handle on it. Knowing the reason it feels like the world is ending in your chest because something bad happened, and knowing it’s because your gremlin brain is perpetually starved for dopamine so there’s no cushion for the raw emotional feedback currently happening can help you, with practice, to curb the impulsive desire to do something rash or harmful.

I mean, fuck, there’s a reason for why suicide is so prevalent in ADHD, and I’m going to go out on a limb and say that impulsivity and severe emotional dysregulation is a part of that.

Knowing that the feeling will end and isn’t an accurate reflection of the situation, overwhelmingly painful as it is in the moment, can help. It does help. So denying this aspect as part of ADHD? Not helpful, and you need to take some time to sit with your thoughts and see why you want to distance yourself so much from this to the point of invalidating others.

So, recap on SISEA:

Would require sex workers to practically dox themselves in order to upload to sites like onlyfans

There's no recourse for sex workers to report their stolen/nonconsensual content, as you either consented to every piece of content featuring you, or you're a victim, meaning that a sex worker reporting say revenge porn of themselves would get ALL of their work pulled.

The ID requirements also apply to art, meaning old art depicting nudity or that is otherwise deemed as pornographic (which would disproportionately target queer art) would be wiped off the net unless you can provide the models ID, even if said piece was created decades ago and the model is long dead (which again, would disproportionately old queer media)

Would in general get rid of all user-generated adult content, giving more power to big porn sites and putting sex workers in an even more vulnerable position

Would be based on the states' age of consent laws, meaning said porn sites could hire 16 year old performers in most states (yikes) and lawyers that went through the bill agreed that in some cases it could be superseded by underage marriage laws, as in, a married minor (because those laws still exist in some states) could """consent""" to appear in adult content if this bill, that claims to protect minors and victims of sex trafficking, passes.

I don't give a shit if you think people with an OnlyFans should be hanged, this shit WILL harm adult consensual sex workers while in some cases enabling actual abusers and pedos

Please contact your senator to oppose SISEA if you're in the US

I guess I haven’t posted this zine anywhere on tumblr yet but yeah heres the big shitty thing Minnesota has been fighting for sevenish years. This Black Snake problem ain’t gonna crush itself so if yinz can lend a hand to the water protector effort thad be gr8. donations, legal support, get word out, or rollup to the frontlines and throw down shoulder to shoulder with the Indigenous homies who’ve been fighting pipelines since there were pipelines - solidarity is everthing.  here’s a handy linktree *the zine was made in 2019, recently Enbridge just got their last needed permit.

My mother is starting a business to reintroduce buffalo into Southern Texas. To do this, she needs help making money so her loans will get approved. We are a part of the Lipan Apache Tribal Band of Texas, a state recognized tribe, so bringing the buffalo back to our homeland means a great deal to us. For more info and if anyone is willing to donate, please visit the link in the reblog.
