”Protect the kids!” Unless they’re queer, trans, intersex, non-white, then you suddenly don’t give a shit about the kids.

unfortunately I’m watching supernatural and someone on screen said ‘there are No Wolves in pennsylvania’ and I was like. what a bold incorrect statement. where did they possibly get that idea from. so I googled it…google is insisting there are no wild wolves in pa?? except I’ve Seen wolves here?? there used to be a wolf that would hang out in my backyard and roam around the neighborhood?? like Everyone knew about this wolf we assumed he lived on the golf course and would come to our yards if he got spooked by golfers (very quiet block). like we all thought he just lost his pack or whatever so people just gave him a wide space and let him chill, he didn’t try to break into any houses or attack any pets but this was definitely. a wild wolf. where. where did he come from what do you MEAN there aren’t wolves in pennsylvania I’m literally spiraling right now

[couldnt-think-of-a-funny-name]

To be fair, PA also said “we did not reintroduce mountain lions, they are not there, you’re seeing really big house cats, please keep coming to the parks and camp sites and ignore that video, that was totally not a mountain lion, someone took last week”

i just showed this to a friend from pennsylvania and 1. theyre losing their mind bc theyve seen mountain lions which prompted them to look it up which leads me to 2. this fucking bonkers article

[caption: “We’ve been here 45 years and I’ve probably been told by people at least 100 t imes that they’ve seen a cougar or mountain lion,” said owner Vince Hall. “I kind of doubt they saw a cougar, but I’m not God.”]

[inkloom]

PA: I can’t believe we’ve lost all our native apex predators Citizens of PA: there’s a mountain lion right there PA: sometimes we can still hear the sound of them scaring away tourists

[novas-grimoire]

…PA has fucking EMUS and you want me to believe we have no wolves or mountain lions?

[couldnt-think-of-a-funny-name]

‘Mystery animal’ escapes from Pennsylvania wildlife rescue

Rescuers still don't know what the animal is... and now it's on the loose.

[genedoucette]

what the fuck is happening in pennsylvania

[thatdorianguy]

As a regretful born and raised Pennsylvanian, we have wolves, coywolves, mountain lions, lynx, and coyotes. Not a single person in authority will admit to there being anything but coyotes and lynx. If you see a cougar, they will tell you you saw a lynx. If you see a wolf, they will tell you you saw a coyote. Ignore the massive differences in sizes. No one knows what a coywolf is but we have them. I have seen a cougar with my own two goddamned eyes. There is an entire nature park whose main attractions are the cougars and wolves (and bison but we’re not talking about them) - it’s called Penn’s Cave, it’s been there forever. Everyone I know has seen a cougar or wolf at least once in the woods.

So what I’m getting at is don’t trust the government.

TIL that the reason lead levels in children’s blood have dropped 85% in the past thirty years is because of an unknown scientist who fought car companies to end leaded gasoline. He also removed it from paint, suggested its removal from pipes, and campaigned for the removal of lead solder from cans.

[squeeful]

Yep.  It also correlates extremely strongly with an increasing decrease of violent crime.  One of the symptoms of low level constant lead exposure is increased aggression and volatility. 

[kurowrites]

“Unknown scientist”? That was Clair Cameron Patterson.

[solarpunkcast]

Gas companies are still so mad at him he’s “unknown scientist”, know his name

[bogleech]

Daily reminder that health and safety standards like these are what politicians mean when they talk about “deregulation.”

[prismatic-bell]

Patterson died 5 December 1995.

Petition to make his date of death a Tumblr holiday celebrated by talking about cool shit the gas and petroleum industries don’t want us to know about, and fighting to continue his work.

[breelandwalker]

Happy Clair Cameron Patterson Day! Remember to hold Big Business and our country’s leadership for safety regulation and environmental preservation standards!

You should watch the latest Well There's Your Problem, even if only for the Shake Hands With Danger segment at the end.

It involves a mass naked nuclear techs event and an emergency walmart trip to buy "all the underpants they have".

why is this post completely broken in every way imaginable

[cecilsrandomeverything]

Broken notes… deactivated account… removed image….

Finally, we have them all.

[spacefinch]

In addition: OP’s name is just… gone. No “[insert username]-deactivated[insert a bunch of numbers]” as is the standard for deactivated blogs.

Just the world “deactivated.” Look upon their post, ye mighty, and despair.

[chatblancofficial]

It’ll be almost impossible to find this post unless it wanders across your dash.

It wandered across mine. I shall help it travel forward.

Patricia Taxxon's blog got banned today.

For several years, multiple blogs have been constantly sealioning Patricia Taxxon and her community to answer for an endless, unmanageable river of accusations. These blogs lie about the content of her posts. Some of the worst instances of this would interpret her posts as the complete opposite of what she said. They did this to antagonize her until she gave them an excuse to report her account.

To the blogs who orchestrated this, know that you actively prevent criticism. By constantly jumping at shadows, you create a "Boy Who Cried Wolf" style attitude towards anyone who is actually trying to give helpful criticism. The only goal your actions serve to advance, is punishing trans women. Additionally, the strategies you use are the same strategies that get Black people banned as well. Don't think we haven't noticed that you only have one openly black ally.

To Patricia Taxxon, I want you to know that I support you, and that there are people who can see what is happening to you.

If you blindfold yourself and throw a dart at a calendar you'll hit a date when Tumblr has banned a trans woman who had been the subject of an ongoing harassment campaign.

I didn't know that Patty had been banned but I have seen the awful attacks that had been aimed at her for months that echoed other types of isolating harassment that I know she'd been subject to for years.

The people who have been harassing her have been using weaponized social justice language to demonize a young woman who who has spent her whole adult life in public on the internet. She is in a tremendously unenviable position and there were times when she didn't handle that gracefully, but it's ridiculous to expect someone being flayed alive to perform ballet.

At this point it has to be clear to everyone that callouts say much more about the person doing the calling out than the person being called out, right? At this point we know that accusations about a person based on their kinks and sexual roleplay is sexual harassment, not 'community protection' right?

The trans community is full to the brim of traumatized people who are working through their trauma and realizing their fullest selves in complicated ways, and it is also chock fucking full of people who only 'feel safe' when they manage to unperson someone who likes things they think are icky or who was clumsy when navigating new territory.

The last five years have felt like watching a purity spiral that protects a false idol while spitting out the trans women it has broken. I don't know what to say, I don't know how to help, but we have got to stop taking it at face value that complicated individual human beings with layered histories and varied motivations must be Evil because someone showed us a screenshot of them talking about kink in a way that feels weird to the viewer (it probably feels weird because you were not part of that conversation and should not be involved and definitely should not be sharing it as an example of why someone deserves to be isolated from any sense of community to suffer!)
