aggression toward children existing is so weird!!! talking about how much you hate kids when you see them in public is weird!! grimacing at them is weird!!! do not normalize this!!! kids are allowed to be in public and they are even allowed to be annoying!!! they are children!!!!

[currentlycryingaboutlancelot]

it’s just like. not cute or quippy or funny to rant about how you hate children. it actually makes you a crotchety old man yelling at kids to get off your lawn. it makes you mean. sorry.

[currentlycryingaboutlancelot]

a lot of people have been like “yeah but it’s the parents responsibility to keep the kids in check” yeah and?? sometimes kids don’t listen to their parents! parents are not all powerful beings who can regulate their six year old’s emotions at all times! and even if the parents don’t care that their kid is misbehaving it is actually still bad to be mean to children! ​you don’t get the right to categorically hate a group of human beings because their existence inconveniences you

friend do not leave this in the tags

!!!! also this

[scurvgirl]

There are so few places for parents to take their children now that doesn't cost a crap ton of money. Kids aren't socializing like they used to and it is actively hurting their development. Children have to Socialize, they have to go out and learn how to be a person in the world. By saying or acting in ways that show that you don't want children in public spaces, you are contributing to the problem. You do not have to be a parent, you do not have to procreate, you do not have to work with children. But learn how to exist in a society where children exist. Their existence is not a threat to your child free ways, that kid is just being a kid! Show some compassion. Learn some self regulation. And stop hating kids.

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

[deramin2]

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.

#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

saw this on Insta and the idea that people who are anti-AI are just using it anyway like... willing to give it up? I ACTIVELY AVOID THAT SHIT BUD! WHAT ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT?

ALSO

It's not as if this shit has been around SOOO LONG. We all existed JUST FINE before this shit became THE THING someone decided to shove in our face like...

[bolasaurus]

Dude, I wouldn't even fucking notice until I go to Google something and the search actually works again.

[serenitynerd]

The only reason I would notice is my life would suddenly get easier

[brainrockets]

Willing to keep not using it??? Yeah, twist my arm I guess? Like what do you mean give it up??? I'm dodging. I'm weaving. I do not want it.

[homunculus-argument]

If I'm eating, or in a gross situation, and someone thinks it's funny to try to trigger the dry heaving vomit reflex by making those HYYYÖÖÖÖRK hurl noises, make no mistake, these things are guaranteed:

I will throw up

I know exactly how long it will take for the reflex to kick in, and can calculate what to do with it

I can and will come running at the person who triggered it

I will aim for the most expensive/difficult to clean item they are currently wearing (hair and makeup included)

If I know I'm not likely to successfully reach them in time, I will instead aim for the most prized/expensive/hard to clean object they have nearby

Your siblings, partners, and other family count as an object. Have fun telling your nana it wasn't your fault that you triggered someone's vomit reflex and he aimed right at her.

[homunculus-argument]

7. If you see one of your own acting like a dickhead and don't make even one single gesture, movement or micro-expression to express in any way that you disapprove of them acting like a dickhead, that's just as much on you. Literally.

experiencing adolescence in the 2010s has fucked my perspective of the word “epic” totally beyond repair. i will forever view it in the same league as words like “awesomesauce” and “legitness” im sorry. theres just no going back

[catplushy]

any time i read the word "epic" this fucking thing flashes in my mind

[rederiswrites]

I do think it's one of the most interesting dynamics of our time that while the world's ultra-wealthy are moving to systematically replace labor with capital (robots, machine learning, etc), the people of the world--most notably Ukraine and Iran, but also the everyday people starting warehouse fires and defacing Flock cameras--are demonstrating that all that capital is far, far easier to destroy than it is to build, and extremely difficult and costly to protect. I am confident that this is going to keep right on being interesting.

nasa is using a 3D world graphic for the solar eclipse thingy today where germany is still devided in east and west adjfglkafdhgadfg. buddies, it's been almost 40 years.

[chthonion]

So I showed this to a physicist and they were like "Oh! Yes! It's a figure from Fred Espenak's very old paper where he did a bunch of eclipse graphics! I've been looking at these my entire internet life, basically, for every solar eclipse! They called him Mr. Eclipse. He just passed away recently 🥺"

Anyway apparently Mr. Eclipse made 5000 years' worth of solar eclipse graphics, which you can find the simpler versions of here

So now instead of laughing at NASA for their outdated graphics I'm emotional about Mr. Eclipse and his hard work

[ID: a tag reading, “#don’t eat citrus if you have any mental health problems #the vitamin C is so bad for you” end ID]

losing my fucking mind over how people will come on here and say just the easiest to disprove absolutely inane lies. for no reason at all

[stranger-nights-ahead]

This is so funny because of how long a chain of telephone it is. The starting point is that grapefruit juice SPECIFICALLY can interact negatively with several mental health medications (notably, not amphetamines). Then this tumblr post* and MULTIPLE NEWS ARTICLES got popular, stating that consuming anything acidic (including vitamin C) within an hour of taking your ADHD meds would render them ineffective. In reality, a large dose of vitamin C taken directly with an amphetamine-based ADHD medication has the potential to cause a minor dampening effect, but has no effect on other ADHD meds. 

These presumably got filtered/combined into the idea that vitamin C is bad to take with ANY mental health meds, which then got turned into the idea that if you have mental health problems, scurvy may be right for you!

[ashelyskies-deactivated20241121]

also turned into the myth that citrus nullifies HRT

[jasperwocky]

if you have any sort of chronic inflammation take your damn vitamin C please it's so important i'm begging uou please

[mutopians]

to make this statement extra wild: vitamin c actually helps with symptoms of fatigue and depression. and if you don't want to just look at the mayo clinic's website, you can check out papers here and here (both peer-reviewed) that basically say the same thing. vitamin c deficiency can actually cause mental health problems, not the other way around.

[brightlotusmoon]

Vitamin C helps your collagen. It helps with wound repair. It helps with so much. Do not neglect Vitamin C. Vitamin C is so good for you.

So many people never learned to live with harmless discomfort at any point in their lives and holy fuck does it show

[little-grey-dowitcher]

“But I wanna know!” You’re gonna have to learn to be ok with not knowing some things, especially when those things involve personal details about strangers that they’re not comfortable sharing.

“But it’s confusing!” If you take the time to educate yourself it’ll no longer be confusing. Otherwise you’re just gonna have to learn to be ok with being confused.

“But it’s weird!” You probably do weird things all the time. Everyone does weird things sometimes. Life goes on.

“But it scares me!” Is it hurting you? No? You’ll be fine. Being scared and being harmed are not always the same thing. Learn to tell the difference and then act accordingly.

“But I want it!” And I want a million dollars. You can’t always get what you want.

[breelandwalker]

Addendum:

"But it makes me uncomfortable!" The world is an uncomfortable place and complete strangers are not required to fix that for you. Learning to endure harmless discomfort is a life skill for existing in public.

"But I don't like it!" There's plenty of things in the world and not all of them are fun or enjoyable or For You. This applies to everyone and we all have to deal with that in a mature fashion.

"But I want to do the thing!" You can't always do what you want. Most people learn this in preschool. Wanting something does not entitle you to be inconsiderate to the people around you.

#is this about autism?

it's about autism and EDS and intersex variations and about trans people and also it's about golden blood and it's about blind people, it's about screaming all day long and howling the night out that you exist even if you're not everywhere, you're small but your heart beats and your lungs pump air and they want you forgotten in the pages of a book they won't read
