Doubt thou the stars are fire...

In West Pennsylvania, born and raised In my backyard is where I spent most of my days. Climbin' trees, playin', swingin', all chill an' all, runnin' through the woods out behind my house, when a couple of squirrels that were up to no good started making trouble in ma neighborhood. I got just one little scratch and my mom got scared, she said "you're playing with your sister Abigail upstairs." True story. Kinda.

i never realized cuneiform was made with the corner of a cuboid tool, i thought the wedge shapes were carved such that you would press straight down with the tool at a 90° angle to the clay

“okay but it’s their money! They can decide how to spend it!” Yeah okay but it’s our atmosphere! and water! and no amount of wealth should give you free reign over that!

today’s date is the 3rd? what’s next, the 4th? the 5th? the minor fall, the major lift? 

[portiaadams]

Hi I was today years old when I realized some people truly don’t have to think about every single thing they do. They don’t have to have an imaginary set of rules (I’m not allowed to put on my bra until I’ve brushed my teeth) to function.

Look. Garlic. A mirror. Holy wateeeer. A crucifix. FUCK OFF! Get the fuck out of my room! GO!

in addition to the fact that people just have different natural rhythms, a big reason why we can’t seem to go to bed as early as we “should” is that nighttime is, for many of us, our safest and most fulfilling time of day. we don’t have to work, we won’t be contacted by bosses or insurance companies or collection agencies or other suffocating life business… we’re likely only to be contacted by our friends, or by no one at all. night time is release; it’s ours. we can rest or recreate. we can do things we actually want to do. who would choose to cut that short?? just to usher in the next morning when our lives are not our own again? nighttime is precious and nothing could be more normal than the desire to embrace this

So, y’all remember that post that said animals in urban areas slowly became nocturnal to avoid encounters with humans? Apparently that includes humans.

what a beautiful thing, to be queer. how lovely it is to be strange, to have edges that spill out over the lines, to be undefinable. the oddity of our hearts is something to be treasured. never change for anyone.

In Avengers, 6 superheroes were not able to take Loki down.

In series mortals throw him around like a ragdoll.

[how-can-i-refuse]

That pissed me off, even without his magic he's still an Asgardian/frost giant. His strength, endurance, fighting experience  of over 1000 years is far superior to that of an average human. Even when Thor became mortal he was still very strong and resistant (he didn't get drunk, he wasn't sleepy and he defeated several members of Shield in battle)

[fanboy7794]

Not to mention while thor is no doubt stronger physically loki traded blows with him fine and that was without magic. In comics loki was one of the strongest physically despite being a giant Runt

[justarandomgirly]

Apperently, all other characters grow in power, only Loki is getting even weaker. But the writers are saying that is growth. And only when it comes to him. All others are getting stronger. @fanboy7794

Okay, everyone in the US needs to look at what's happening right now and analyze it like you would a list of events from a history textbook:

Children are stolen from their families, locked in "detention centers."

A president attempts a coup, but he is not impeached. The people who took part in the attempted coup are given sentences of anywhere from a few months to a few years. Nowhere near what one would expect for people who committed treason.

There are numerous laws put in place to limit voting even more than it was already limited.

There are laws passed to discriminate against entire groups of people, and a main political party calls human beings abominations.

The highest court rules that convicted criminals have no right to introduce new evidence, even if it proves the "criminal" innocent."

The highest court rules that police cannot be sued for not informing someone of their right.

The highest court says that they intend to take away bodily autonomy from women, children, trans men, nonbinary people, agender people, intersex people, gender fluid people, and other gender nonconforming people.

If I was reading this about a country in a history textbook, I would clearly be able to see that the country was losing any semblance to a democracy. If this was a novel, I would be shouting at the main character to wake up. What do you think?

Important update on abortion rights in Texas: the Bexar county sheriff said he won’t prosecute anyone who gets an abortion

[dontbeanassbutt]

Saw someone in the tags saying please don’t be fake so just so we’re clear:

It’s worth noting that San Antonio is the second biggest city and has the third largest metropolitan area in the state. Bexar county takes up majority if not all of the city. This impacts at least 1.4mil people. This is a very good thing the sheriff is doing.

Alt text is added to the images

(ID: two screenshots, one from a news article in the Houston Chronicle and the other from Facebook.

The Chronicle is headlined “Bexar County Sheriff will not ‘persecute’ San Antonio women who have abortions”, followed by a subline that reads “Salazar says it’s none of his business”. There is a photo of the sheriff in uniform with his cowboy hat in hand as he speaks to the press.

The Facebook post is from Sheriff Javier Salazar and reads

“I’m the Sheriff of Bexar County, but also a Dad of two beautiful and intelligent young women. As their Dad I will defend my daughter’s ability to do what they feel is right with their bodies and to love whomever they choose. As their Dad, I have no control over their adult bodies. As their Sheriff, it is absolutely none of my business. I will not persecute Texas women or anyone else pursuing those same rights.

Shame on the Supreme Court and the bureaucrats in Washington D.C. and Austin who are attempting to impose their own supposed morals on others. They will not use my badge or the color of my office to do so. My job is chasing predators, rapists, and human traffickers, not someone exercising a right.

If it’s religion those career politicians would like to enforce, then they should remember that there are many other commandments in scripture that they themselves have very publicly chosen to ignore.

If it’s truly about protecting children, how about starting with the ones in our schools?”

The text is then followed by a picture of the sheriff with his daughters and wife.

End ID.)

(tags: #also this is one of the 10 largest cities in the country #THE COUNTRY)

7th biggest, to be exact! Also the city of council of Austin is putting forth legislation to decriminalize abortion in the city, affecting just under 1mil people.

Austin and San Antonio are about an hour’s drive a part, with the surrounding metro areas of both cities having a combined population of about 4.8 million people (2.28 mil and 2.55mil, respectively), providing two abortion havens of some type for the time being

Majority of Texans live within the Texas Triangle, so it provides a small sliver of hope for about a 1/4 of those that do live in the region. Hopefully El Paso and the other two major cities follow, I’m especially wanting Houston to take action

In related news, a lower court blocked the trigger law Texas had in place, reinstating the 5 week ban over the total ban that was going to go into effect this month

[socialistexan]

The Travis county (Austin), Dallas county, Ft Bend county (Sugar Land), and Nueces county (Corpus Christi) DAs also said they will not prosecute abortion cases.

Curious that Harris County (Houston) DA, Kim Ogg who is a Democrat btw, has said she will prosecute cases. But, Fort Bend (where I grew up) is a Houston suburb that's a 10-15 minute drive from Downtown Houston and they said they will not.

david tennants so funny to me cuz  hes like. a very private and quiet person. and all characters they call him to do are like mr slutty mcthot

January 18, 2022 story on reason.com

From the article:

"Five times since last May, sheriff's deputies in Kansas and California have stopped armored cars operated by Empyreal Logistics...seizing a total of $1.2 million, but did not issue any citations or file any criminal charges, which are not necessary to confiscate property through civil forfeiture. That process allows police to pad their budgets by seizing assets they allege are connected to criminal activity, even when the owner is never charged, let alone convicted."

[apas-95]

The police are legitimately the biggest gang in the country.
