🌲 From the Nakba 76 years ago all the way up until today, the Jewish National Fund has been using "environmentalism" and tree-planting to greenwash Israel's ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.

“The Canadian branch of the so-called Jewish National Fund (JNF), one of the country’s oldest Zionist organizations, has officially lost its status as a “registered charity” after a Canadian federal court rejected its final legal appeal.

The ruling, issued on May 30, confirmed the government's decision to revoke JNF-Canada's “charitable designation,” and effectively forced the organization to begin shutting down operations after 57 years of activity.” [x]

yesterday in economic botany we were learning about plant based oil compounds and stuff and my botany professor was talking about lynn seed oil, which in woodworking is rubbed on over furniture as a varnish. this oil has an exothermic chemical reaction with oxygen, meaning that the reaction creates heat. what often happens, apparently, is that woodworkers will finish rubbing on the oil with a rag and then will ball up the rag and throw it away, but because the reaction is taking place and the heat can’t escape (like it would on a piece of furniture where it can be cooled) it gets trapped in the rag, which gets hotter and hotter until it reaches the temperature where it bursts into flame. apparently many woodworking shops have been burned down by this. the proper way to dispose of rags with this oil is to hang them up on a clothesline, so again the reaction never gets enough heat to start a fire. im telling you this because im a writer and ive never heard of substance that will just…spontaneously combust conveniently like that so long as it’s in a confined space. my botany professor tried it in a trash can in his driveway and it did indeed burst into flame after 45 minutes, which is an exceptionally convenient time delay. im sorry im tying this so fast my laptop is on 2% battery and theres no outlet an

I see a lot of folks defending their vitriolic repugnance towards toddlers with cries of "but my sensory needs!" as if children are not also in possession of sensory needs. As if you, an adult here on Tumblr.com, do not have the capability and resources to learn the skills or acquire aids for coping with competing access needs. Or, y'know, just the option to leave, the way children most often do not.

You're holding an actual child to higher standards than you hold yourself, but it's the child that should be removed from public and community spaces. For your comfort.

Go fuck yourselves.

I’ve been russiaposting a lot lately and it’s because sometimes you’ve spent the bulk of your life aware but low-key only tangentially of a certain prejudice(russophobia) existing, like by virtue of your general politic you have always been aware that the average yank is gripped with a strange derangement every time russia or the USSR are mentioned. But then you are forced to take a closer look and you’re like oh. This is actually literally identical to the orientalism I am subjected to. Like hey this is just regular racism is anyone hearing this shit. These people sound like nazis. And then you say that publicly. And then you get like 35 bonafide hitlers in your inbox in the span of 2 days giving you ample proof that you were literally right, it literally is indistinguishable from the dehumanisation you are all too familiar with, down to the tropes used, down to the language used. It isn’t like orientalist racism, it plainly is orientalist racism. And it’s so common. So many westerners who think of themselves as ‘progressive’ and ‘anti-racist’ sound like literal nazi race realists when they talk about Russians and they make no effort to mask that, and you know they sounded the same way when they talked about Arabs/muslims. And North Koreans. And Afghans. And Iranians. And it’s all the same revolving door of rendering enemies of the imperial core subhuman and ungrievable to justify violence against us. And you feel kind of insane that no one is pointing that out except its most immediate targets, and you’ve felt that way before. You’ve seen that movie before. You’ve kinda starred in that movie before, actually. And then it’s literally the only thing you can think of forever.

About the hikers in Indonesia that were killed climbing an active volcano that you are prohibited from climbing, I don’t think local authorities should have to foot the bill for rescue & recovery efforts for tourists that came to their country and turned off their brain. I don’t know what it is about traveling that makes (read: mostly white) people think that that they’re immune to natural disasters, the hazards of the local landscape and wildlife. I can’t afford to go anywhere and if I could afford to go to the beautiful, culturally & historical rich and diverse country that is Indonesia, I would have thousands and perhaps millions of better things to do than scale an active fucking volcano.

[byjove]

And FUCK those 5 Italian fucks who just killed themselves and a rescue diver in the Maldives while cave diving at depths they were not equipped for and not allowed to. OOOOOOH I’M HEATED ABOUT THAT ONE.

[byjove]

Lots of great places to scuba dive in the Maldives, especially for someone with a background in marine biology but nooooooo let’s go in a FUCKING CAVE with a maximum depth of 230 feet.

[exeggcute]

I need a polite and effective way to say "hey your heart is truly in the right place and your anger is often righteous but I think sometimes you’re getting recreationally mad about things that are frankly not worth the amount of energy you’re spending on them, and every time you do this you're driving yourself slightly more insane with nothing to show for it," and then I need a way to broadcast that message through a loudspeaker to roughly 30,000 people at once, and THEN I need a time machine to send that message to my past self lol. and maybe a second time machine in case past me tries to be clever and sabotage the version of me who comes through the first time machine

Impcore homonationalists when non-Western and anti-imperialist nations have worse queer rights than the West because of historical circumstances and challenges: These degenerate Oriental savages clearly lack the cultivation to establish the same system of rights as our civilized metropoles with their valiant activists and academics. We wish that our noble military/ insurgency funded by it/ secret service operation/ color revolution shall overthrow this oppressive regime and establish a better society for gay people once all the riots and civil wars and bombings and military coups and right wing dictatorships are done :)

Impcore homonationalists when non-Western and anti-imperialist nations have better queer rights in some respects than the West: Of course these scheming savages have only instituted these rights to rainbow-wash their totalitarian realities and secret oppressions! Surely this is a plot to legitimize their regimes by taking advantage of the temporary and marginal queerphobia in our societies, which is far less important than the permanent and monstrous queerphobia taking place behind the iron curtains of these regimes! They only see queer people as pawns in their global game to topple the West, whereas the enlightened West truly cares for the marginalized (apart from everyone they're starving and bombing, who is obviously homophobic and/or dictatorial and thus deserves it).

Ideal gay society, you must understand, is characterized by free market rent boys and epic webcomics and the Cult of Merch and rainbow fighter jets and voting for parties who tally up the electoral viability of your identity every 4-5 years to determine if it's time to throw you to the fascists yet. Anything else is a cultural obsession for the Oriental Despot or a nefarious plot by the Red Menace.

Embroidered Map of Russia (Chuvash National Museum).

The map fragments were hand-embroidered by artisans from each region and combined into a single piece. The map depicts traditional patterns from various ethnic groups living in what is now Russia.

[madmonksandmaenads]

I wish I could make white people(and not just white Americans) understand how diverse the pre-columbian Americas were. The history, religion, culture, politics was at least as complex as Europe's. There was the full gamut of religions, from monotheists to animists to ancestral religions. There were city building empires, village farmers, nomadic traders, and so many other ways to live. This is all just based on what we know, the fragments left behind and the stories of survivors of an apocalyptic plague. All this before the most extended campaign of genocide in history was waged in an attempt to wipe out those survivors.

Over 500 years spent trying to cut down a whole trunk of human culture.

Do you understand how much poorer our whole species is because of it? Can you imagine where art, religion, and science would be if we still had these vast bodies of knowledge? The stain of the colonial project will never be fully washed clean. We owe more than just the land to those we stole from. We owe them a whole future, a future that could have been brighter for all of us. If only greed and fear weren't allowed to rule this land.
