To the doomer who saw the KIDS act passing as evidence of us needing to give up and allow these laws to pass

Your wrong

It’s just a fact, that your wrong

The KIDS act didn’t pass with flying colors, it barley passed with a whole lot of NO’s

It’s NOT hopeless, it’s NOT useless, thinking there’s no point is the real reason why they have a chance of passing these laws

Spreading the idea of giving up will allow them to win, they want you to give up

Don’t allow others to give up, remind them that there is still hope, call your representatives and tell everyone that this can be stopped

So don’t allow these hopeless thoughts consume you

Fight well

Fight!

may the forgotten ones watch over you

may you feel them as the wind rustles the leaves

may they be heard in the trickle of water from the roof after the rain

may you find them in the dirt as you plant your garden

may they comfort you with the warmth from your camp fire

i learned that actor Danny Trejo has the most on-screen deaths of anyone in Hollywood history, with 65. Followed by Christopher Lee (60), Lance Henriksen (51), Vincent Price (41), Dennis Hopper (41), Boris Karloff (41), and John Hurt (39). (x)

[splend-42]

Yet poor Sean Bean is stuck with the reputation for dying in every movie. Unfair.

[deliriumcrow]

Give him time, he still has many years of dying yet to come.

[cipheramnesia]

Also there’s the question of density vs quantity. If you make a hundred movies and die in 50, and someone else makes 30 movies and dies in 30, the first one has died more, but the second one has died more often per movie.

[patrickat]

It’s the DPM ratio that really counts, IMO.

[avron]

65/402 16% Danny Trejo 60/282 21% Christopher Lee 51/259 20% Lance Henriksen 41/211 19% Vincent Price 41/205 20% Dennis Hopper 41/204 20% Boris Karloff 39/209 19% John Hurt 33/117 28% Sean Bean

I’m so proud of the statistical side of tumblr for coming through on this.

[probablyasocialecologist]

Restoring soils could remove up to ‘5.5bn tonnes’ of greenhouse gases every year

This is just under the current annual emissions of the US, the world’s second largest polluter after China.

“Protecting what’s still in the ground and rebuilding the soil carbon in our agricultural systems is pretty much a no-brainer, because of all the multiple benefits that we get. In a lot of our farming systems, soil carbon levels are at a state where, if you improve them, you get benefits in terms of water regulation, water quality, stabilising production and resilience in the systems.”

This is why we need to push for municipal composting as hard as our parents did for municipal recycling (in addition to implementing the things talked about in the article)

But while you’re campaigning, you can also get started yourself. Composting is dead simple, since it really is just letting stuff rot until it turns into dirt. Guides online tend to get really complex talking about ratios, what not to put in, turning it regularly, keeping it moist, etc - and that stuff will make it happen faster, but rotting is rotting. It’s gonna rot. All you really need is a corner of your yard to throw organic waste onto. No meat or dairy because it stinks like high hell, nothing cooked or salted, but egg shells work, as do most any plant products (including paper/cardboard). Put your waste in one pile until it’s decently large, then start putting it in another pile nearby while you wait for the first one to decompose and turn into rich black (carbon-filled!) soil

Or if you don’t have space or a garden to put the soil in, you can use services like ShareWaste and MakeSoil to connect with others in your area who are already composting. But all this is assuming you don’t already have a municipal program - there may be one that you’ve never heard about! Either way, restoring soil is free and easy and something we can all help with! Get composting!

me: im disabled and have limits

the smartest most intelligent guy in the world with the most hugest dick ever like so big, like the biggest dick ever, man and also soooo intelligent and thoughtful and just so so intelligent: have you tried pushing yourself?

[hexpatient]

from my own experience and also from what i hear from others, the issue seems to stem from a fundamental misunderstanding of how i know my limits. i know because i have discovered and tested them. i push them sometimes, carefully. and occasionally i get ok results or at least nothing bad happens. but sometimes something does happen, so i MUST respect my limits.

but when i talk about disability to abled people, they assume its just a bad attitude. like ive defaulted to a "i cant" attitude. and that stems from a fundamental mistrust of disabled people, and the cultural grift of acting like bad things can only exist in the mind. yes i know this is old news. anyways.

[katisconfused]

There's also a variant of this that is like... other disabled people with similar but not quite the same symptoms being even less charitable than ableds. Like I'll tell someone I can power through a symptom they can't because mine works different, and they say I must not really be impaired like them. Or I'll tell them I cannot power through something they can, and they refuse to believe it's not making excuses and not wanting to try.

[purlturtle]

I think this is also aided and abetted by so so so many narratives about disabled people where it's always this scenario:

Disabled person: I can't do this.

Abled person: Just push yourself. This is important to you*, right? I believe in you; you can do it! You just gotta want it! Don't let your disability limit you!

Disabled person: *pushes themselves to do the thing* I did it! Oh my god, I did it! (this is framed as the best thing ever)

Abled person: I knew you could do it! Don't accept your limits; it's all in your head! If you've got enough willpower, you can do anything!

String music swells, both walk off into the sunset, camera pans to assistive device standing forgotten and no longer necessary.

*all too often it's "important to me", either stated outright or implied.

With this narrative being pushed at all of us all the time, abled people too often believe that this is true and how things are, and any disabled person who refuses is either lying/pretending, or has given up on themself.

And that is why inspiration porn sucks.

The two southern expressions "come Hell or high water" and "God willing and the creek don't rise" describe the exact same event. The only difference is one of them demonstrates a positive, can-do attitude, while the other shows a cringing servility to both floods and divine wrath

i had a dream last night that the entire world used a currency (?) called angrypennies which as the name implies are obtained by experiencing anger. the stronger and more intense your anger was, the more angrypennies you'd gain. an all-consuming rage would earn you more than a slight irritation, etc. so people were always searching for ways to fuel their anger and purposefully keeping themselves angry all the time because they wanted to earn angrypennies. unclear if angrypennies could be exchanged for goods and services, or if they were just a collectible.

anyway, as if this wasn't heavy-handed enough, at one point british comedian greg davies appeared and explained that angrypennies couldn't be worth feeling angry all the time. this was a real revelation to dream-me and i was finally able to break free of the angrypenny grind and allow myself to experience emotions other than anger.

[kat]

it goes without saying that i will be using the word angrypenny as if it was part of the common vernacular instead of a term that my dreaming brain conjured up i.e. "he's all about the angrypennies" (derogatory way to refer to a guy who searches for reasons to be angry and possibly lacks introspection)

David Suchet fighting with tv series director over Poirot's characterization

Poirot has OCD (Obsessive compulsive disorder) and wiping down seats and being very particular about cleanliness are ways his OCD manifests.

"If Agatha Christie writes that he [Poirot] dusts dirty chairs on park benches, then I will show it. And if a director says that it looks off then I'll say, 'sorry, that's what he does.' And if the time comes when it's make or break, then I will walk. I will say this openly and honestly - in defence of my character, I would have walked at some points had I not got the support of my producers." - David Suchet (RadioTimes.com, October 2013)

god 50 years ago you really could go see a trashy b-movie and it still had gorgeous cinematography, lighting and set design, fun costumes and makeup, and now a hollywood production could have 80 million dollars thrown at it only for it to look like a drawn-out tv commercial for laundry detergent

Actually they did have sunscreen! And other sun protection.

The oldest use of the umbrella we know of was for Ancient Egyptians to keep out of the sun: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umbrella

The Himbaa people use otjize, a combination of clay, herbs, and other ingredients, to protect themselves from the sun and keep clean: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otjize

We have also used a variety of sunscreen and sun protection throughout history. Check out the history section of this page:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunscreen

This doesn't even count the various clothing traditions for sun protection.

[purlturtle]

Even elephants and goddamn pigs use sunscreen
