GREEN DAY vs. homophobia in the early 90’s
Happy Pride Month!
Reminder that Billie Joe Armstrong publicly came out as bisexual in 1995!
“I think I’ve always been bisexual. [...] It’s ingrained in our heads that it’s bad, when it’s not bad at all. It’s a very beautiful thing.”
And that Green Day used their platform to bring openly gay punk band Pansy Division on tour with them in 1994!
happy pride month to deans fruity gun

Nature documentaries mislead viewers into thinking that there are lots of untouched landscapes left. There aren’t.

People wanna think that because the us was bad and feeding its people propaganda about how Communism Bad that therefore the ussr must have been Good, Actually like No You Fucking Idiot. More than one country can commit war crimes at once
Capitalism is bad I'm not even disagreeing with that Marx Was Right but you know what else is bad? Authoritarianism. If you give a select handful of people, or even worse One Single Person too much power they WILL abuse it. Having a Woke Dictator isn't the answer here you guys just can't imagine actually changing our societal structure from one based on dominance
“I could fix him” “I could make worse” I need adderall

All pandemic long, scientists brawled over how the virus spreads. Droplets! No, aerosols! At the heart of the fight was a teensy error with
I have so many feelings about this, but they boil down to the same frustrated rage I've had for a year or more.
you need to read this article
It describes how the denial of aerosol transmission has made not just Covid-19 deadlier, but also other coronaviruses, influenza, and a host of other infectious diseases. Because of the political baggage of terms like "airborne" and good-ol-boy clubs among scientists in power.
You absolutely should read this article.
I was talking with the gnomes and they don't even think you are worth playing whimsical little tricks and japes on.
amulet that makes you think about trains
anyways, japanese imperialism is not a thing of the past and still exists today. japanese propaganda is in the little things, and to end it you have to recognize them. stop glorifying the rising sun flag. pay attention to how japanese media treats its korean characters as opposed to the white ones. be on your guard when anyone or anything implies that japan is in any way superior to other asian countries. above all, listen to and support any poc who has been affected by japanese imperialism.
you can reblog this post instead of liking it btw
Heres your semiregular reminder that opal is one of the worst possible gemstones for engagement rings and tumblr posts about how pretty opals are and how diamonds are bullshit and we should all wear opal rings are not actually well informed or your friends
@sirfoggybrain Of course!
So opals, as we all know, are gorgeous stones
I will at no point deny that, theyre stunning and look different from every angle and in every lighting, the plays of color are insane, and they can be used to make beautiful jewelry, including, unfortunately, engagement rings. Which then have the tedency to do what opals do best, which is break and chip
The problem with opals is their position on the mohs hardness scale: they are a 5.5 to a 6.5. This in on par with glass. You can break one of these with glass or a knife or any piece of metal. The woman on the left broke hers by accidentally knocking it against her desk. Engagement rings are meant to be worn every day, and they are worn on your hands, which are high contact body parts. Opals cannot properly hold up to everyday use, and will become damaged unless you are lucky. It is, in my opinion, best not to risk it- this is a special ring, your forever ring, an object that meant to be worn daily and symbolizes your love and is, if worst comes to worst, something to hawk if you are desperate for cash to continue to live. You do not want it to break. Moonstone- which is another one i see recommended a lot- is the same way. Engagement rings are special. I would not ever in good conscience be able to recommend something that fragile to be someones forever ring.
Diamonds are not recommended just because of the diamond industry (which is bad, i agree! Please make sure your diamond is ethical if you chose to get one, and my personal opinion is that lab made is better) but because they are the most durable stone out there. You cant break your diamond.
Theres nothing wrong with wanting a colorful, flashy engagement ring, but an opal is not the stone for you. You want a gemstone that is an 8+ on the hardness scale- so stones like emeralds (if youre careful with it!), rubies, sapphires (which come in all sorts of colors), moissanite (typically white, but with twice the fire and brilliance of a diamond), morganite, colored diamonds, and alexandrite are all good choices. Alexandrite even changes colors depending on lighting!
TL;DR: opals are too soft and fragile for an engagement ring. Get opal necklace instead, and pick a tougher stone for your engagement ring.
Topaz is also 8 on the Mohs scale, and Aquamarine is the same stone as Emerald but in a different colour. Both are also worth considering!
this is gonna sound stupid but i’m amazed at baby capybaras bc they really truly are baby capybaras. there r so many animals you guys. so many where the babies look like tiny primordial creatures compared to the mature ones but baby capybaras r just little capybaras. they just start out like that. you know what i mean
