Endlessly diabolical how you can't say words like rape and suicide uncensored without either being criticised by idiots or punished by conglomerates.

[bigfatbitchdotcom]

It's not r*pe, it's rape. It's not su*cide, it's suicide. Not unalive, dead. The backbone needs to be reintroduced en masse because softening the blow of these concepts with advertising language does absolutely nothing but allow people unaffected by them to feel not even a sting of what they can do, prompting inaction.

[bigfatbitchdotcom]

And it's been proven that on certain websites, you don't even face a repercussion for using the words as they are. People just started censoring themselves because they feared the potential lack of views and likes and followers which is so nasty itself.

I attended an anti-suicide seminar in college. One of the big takeaways from it was that stigmatizing suicide increases the rate of suicide, because people who are feeling suicidal feel like they can't ask for help. Every time I see babytalk garbage like 'unalive', I think of that.

Use the real words. Words have power, and they matter.

"Indigo dyeing silk thread"

In case anyone wonders what the Japanese is saying

[torkmatic]

I just learned about this recently from a Viking reenactor! Indigo dye isn't blue until it oxidizes, so when you dye with indigo your cloth or thread doesn't come out of the water blue, it comes out and then reacts with the oxygen in the air and seems to spontaneously turn blue in front of your eyes. It's a really cool process to witness.

On This Day in Planetary Geology!

The first humans set foot on the Moon: July 20, 1969

Neil Armstrong's first photo after setting foot on the Moon, digitally scanned by JSC in 2004 from original film roll. Rocks returned by Apollo astronauts have revolutionized our understanding of planetary formation.

The first fully successful landing on Mars: July 20, 1976

This is the first photograph ever taken on the surface of Mars, by the Viking 1 Lander.
