These Words Could Mean Nothing, Or They Could Mean The World @lazarzwampertz - Tumblr Blog

Posts

Heyo, I'm LazarZwampertz (She/Her), yet another trans gal on tumblr who's a massive dweeb. Call me Laz for short if ya want, or my real name if you know it.

I'm into all sorts of nerdy shit, get a feel for it by scrolling my blog. Occasional NSFW, but it should all be tagged properly.

Say hi if ya want to! Cannot promise good conversation or quick replies, but I'm often around so you'll hear back from me eventually, lol.

-----------------------------

No clue what I should be putting in a pinned post, so instead gonna throw down some of my organizational tags I use, and add on to 'em as the need be. Trying to be more organized, y'know?

#laz's ramblings: My self text post tag.

#lazart: Very rarely used, but tag for when I post my own art.

#Fate/stay Laz: My Fate/stay Night playthrough liveblogging tag. Less analysis, more in the moment stream of consciousness.

#Hawthorne's Hunting Journal: Selfpost tag for Monster Hunter. My own thoughts, screenshots, videos, etc. Other Monster Hunter stuff's tagged as "monhun"

#Laz's Aspirational Style Book: Most recent organizational tag, for looks/aesthetics/fashion I wanna try to incorporate or take inspiration from. Made cause a friend suggested building up a catalogue of stuff like that while I can't really experiment with it IRL (Thanks Mo <3).

#my friend the sturgeon: sturgeon tag, for my dear friend, the sturgeon

#pigpigpigpig: My pig tag, because I love them. The animal, not cops.

-----------------------------

If you see a tag that's "[Name] tag", that's my series of "stuff that reminds me of a friend" tags, so said people can browse for stuff I think they'd like :)

Anywho, pinned post done for now.

#laz's ramblings #Making a post to pin it in case I forget one of the exact spellings for my organizational tags

A recall for nearly 1.6 million dozen eggs has been upgraded to the highest risk warning by the FDA. Here's what that means for consumers.

On Aug. 12, the FDA reclassified a recall for nearly 1.6 million dozen white and brown cage-free eggs due to potential salmonella contamination. The recall is now Class I, which is considered "a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death," according to the FDA.

As of July 24, a salmonella outbreak linked to the recalled eggs has sickened at least 98 people and hospitalized 26 across 17 states. The illnesses were reported between Nov. 21, 2025, and June 30, 2026. The FDA and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) were aware of 26 hospitalizations due to the recall, but no deaths.

There's a link to the egg list in the article.

it's important that you don't tell people just how bizarre those adventures are, it's important that you keep them in the dark so that they go from a somewhat bizarre but ultimately commonplace thing like vampires terrorizing england to something really out there like going to disney without mickey

In every way this is set up to be a joke like any other short video, it even uses the trope of main character in a wig to represent their mom, but it isn't funny at all. It's just sweet and nice

friend of mine recommended a video essay that's like 5 hours long about why it's currently a whole Thing for fascists to claim they only eat meat and demonize vegetables etc etc, and it's genuinely quite well researched in many places and contains some fascinating history and has made me feel very weird about my status as an adult who enjoys drinking milk. but I've not finished it and I genuinely don't know if I will because at one point the ol' "you can't say you care about animals and also eat animals" chestnut got dropped by the white vegan essayist and it put such a bad taste in my mouth that I had to leave instantly

batmanisagatewaydrug

like idk man it just feels genuinely parodic to dedicate hours to analyzing how foodways have frequently been used as white supremacist propaganda and then casually toss out an argument that pretty invariably demonizes indigenous hunting practices with 0 regard for traditional knowledge and land stewardship guiding those practices

Every time I hear a white vegan say that I want to throw the rubble of the Klamath Dams at them.

The largest dam removal in U.S. history. So successful that the salmon that haven’t run freely in the river for literally over a century came back the next year. Not steady progress over a decade as expected, the very next salmon run they came home. No one alive saw salmon in that river outside the hatcheries kept by native’s tribes and the Department of Fish And Wildlife scientists desperately trying to save them. One of the activists who helped bring the suit spoke of their dying grandmother making them promise to bring the fish home, and they didn’t know how that was possible, but they spent decades doing it.

The legal basis for successfully suing the power company who owned the dams was Indigenous treaty rights to eat the fish. Eating the fish was the one thing in a century that succeeded in being a clear and legally binding right that superseded the desires of white capital and industry. I have been going to the public interest environmental law conference off and on for 20 years where a lot of organizing for Undam The Klamath happened. I’ve heard updates about every legal tact they tried as they happened, and they tried everything.

There are healthy, thriving salmon, trout, and lamprey in a rewilding and recovering Klamath River right now as a direct result of Indigenous people eating them. Of their legally binding right to eat them. They sure as fuck care more about those fish than any white vegan ever could. They are salmon people that the Creator sent Salmon to feed, while charging the People with protecting and stewarding them. It’s not possible to learn about salmon and trout in the Pacific Northwest without learning this, and it’s unambiguously racist to dismiss this symbiotic relationship.

The white vegans are trying to get all hunting and fishing banned in Oregon, and that’s quite possibly the single most catastrophic thing that could be done to the animals here because we killed off all the major predators of creatures like deer and without anything hunting them their numbers will explode, eat all the vegetation, destroy the ecosystem, and then die along with everything else in that failing ecosystem. Controlled hunting of deer is vitally necessary for the deer to survive. This is something Native people know, but patronizing racist savior-complex white people refuse to listen to.

I have a whole collection of Oregon’s Public Broadcasting’s documentaries about Klamath River or the larger story of fish and people in the region. If you watch nothing else, watch Klamath Dams Are Coming Out, First Salmon Ceremony, After The Dams, and First Decent (Native made). It could not be clearer that the salmon are being protected and nourished by the people who eat them, and that stewardship is a massive part of their creation myths. But it contradicts political vegan dogma so they don’t listen.

The Klamath River Runs Free

#also do you have any idea how much conservation is funded by people who want to eat those animals#at least in the us anytime someone buys ammo or hunting equipment or hunting licenses that money goes directly to state wildlife agencies

everyone's talking about the ibs/autism haha funny comparison thing while I'm still stuck on the concept that hamsters exist in the wild. like naturally

tf do you mean they're a wild creature. you find those ankle-biters at the pet store

Not a biologist, but the evolution of mammals is way more granular than you might expect. Humans are the sole surviving species of the genus Homo, which was a real party before the other ones went extinct. You're in for a fun time.

Domestic cats are believed to be domesticated not from tigers, but from the African wildcat:

Which evolved to be small just because it's sometimes more useful to be small.

And no, hamsters are not off-brand rats. They're part of the rodent order, which includes beavers, moles, capybaras, guinea pigs (yes, also wild) and lots of other fun things:
