[sprinkledsalt]

Another depressing article about the devastating consequences of letting Donald Trump win and kill USAID, which would have never happened under Kamala Harris and quite literally did not happen under Joe Biden, ignored by the do-nothing poasters and justified by the tankies who think it's fine when people die for the sake of their ideology (in this case the "it's great if poor people die and then people think America Worst" one)

Trump’s Chaotic USAID Cuts Unleashed Floods, Disease and Poverty

Trump’s USAID cuts halted critical infrastructure projects around the world. Our investigation in Kenya reveals devastating consequences.

I don't want to buy mass-produced garbage from a big box store so I go to etsy but half of etsy is now dropshipped mass-produced garbage or AI slop so I go to the local arts and crafts street market but a ton of those booths are also selling the same generic plastic objects or identical stickers or 3D printed dragons so WHERE do I buy real trinkets and art from sincere freaks

the only fic i've ever seen that thoughtfully incorporated elements of real life dog sex into omegaverse was hockey rpf but they were breeding hockey players to produce more hockey players and they were the only ones who did this. people who weren't hockey players just had human sex

religion is so fucking funny the world is just too beautiful there must be a higher entity behind all this. lets oppress women

[krampusmad]

I have let to see a more ungrateful, uneducated post not understanding the reason you get to write something, like this, on tumblr, on the internet, from your home, with NO repercussions from the law, using the infrastructure that grew together with the law, order, and hierarchy, that comes from western civilization, which is built on, guess what. Christianity. one of the main three religions of the world.

People, on average, cannot be atheist. Not the majority, not great people. Especially great people. Almost every truly great person (either with infastructure, civil rights, or art) in history was at least spiritual if not devout.

Why the frick would anybody want to put any effort at all into maintaining society (and building it from the ground up, making new infrastructure and laws, serving justice, maintaining it) if they didn’t have some higher goal to serve? For COMFORT? that may be true now, but what about in the 1700s when life was hard, the industrial revolution was still going around, creature comforts were few, for the majority?

Why would they put any effort into that when they could just as easily pick berries in the woods, might makes right, every man and woman for themselves, hunting animals?

[andwhatexcellentboiledpotatoes]

This is the funniest thing I have ever read on this site. I am obsessed with the implication that every advancement in society was not because people wanted to make their own lives better but because they thought a higher power wanted it and that without religion we would never have had the agricultural revolution and still be eating berries from bushes.

Are you trying to tell me my local schoolboard doesn't have the ability to declare a unilateral ceasefire with iran?

[myfootyrthroat]

If they try hard enough and are pure of heart... still no.

also I realized today that the place I’ve been going for Eggie’s agility lessons is really close to Grant Cottage (the home he died in) so I’ve definitely got to go do that sometime. Except I should wait until the fall to go since I’ll have to crate Egg in the car while I’m inside. Which also gives me time to finish reading his memoirs before I go.

just woke up from this bad dream where they let men run around on some grass for ninety minutes kicking this spherical object around. thank god that’s not real
