Here’s what’s happening in Australia at the moment.

For some context:  Mallacoota is a tourist town, usual population is a little over 1000, but at peak tourist times, it can be as high as 8000. There was an estimated 4000 there today, when the extreme heat, peaking at 49C/120F, combined with high winds, to spark a large, intense fire in the bushland around the area. This pretty much blocked off all ways out of the town, leading to all 4000 people being evacuated to the beach, with the emergency plan basically being “If the fire comes this way, get in the water” Thankfully, the wind did change direction, and as far as I’ve heard, most of the town was spared, but this is how bad the drought, heat, and fire situations have become in australia. And our government still refuses to make solid policies on climate change.

NSW Bush Fires - How you can help

Maybe misusing the name of God isn’t so much about saying the shallow words, “Oh my God,” as it is about using the name of God to justify discrimination, oppression, injustice, racism, slavery, xenophobia, poverty, sexism, islamophobia, ableism, homophobia, war, & the list can go on. 

[questions-within-questions]

Amen

[gaslightgallows]

When I was a wee little Gaslight attending Catholic Sunday schools, and then later in college when I was taking a Bible as Literature class, both my stolid neighborhood deacon and my dapper Protestant professor said almost the exact same thing:

“Taking the Lord’s name in vain isn’t when someone says ‘God damn it.’ It’s when a mortal, fallible human being presumes to put words in God’s mouth and say ‘This is what God wants you to do.’“

[superpowered-autistic-cats]

Time to reblog again. Holy shit.

[kitchenwitchupinthisbitch]

Interesting. I never knew this

[teaboot]

The number of times I have been delighted by witty banter only to find out later that I was “Flirting” is both unfortunate and disappointing.

[teaboot]

“haha so what about that guy, huh?”

Me: what about him

“Well you seemed super into him”

Me: what why

“…dude you were flirting all night”

Me:

Me: Whoms't™™

[trainerdelaney]

I found out several of my female coworkers were planning on trying to get our male coworker to ask me out because “You guys kept flirting” but I was like “We were literally just goofing around. Like we literally just told jokes to each other. Literally just stuff that friends do, the same stuff you and I do.” I was definitely 100% NOT flirting but everyone thought I was

[trainerdelaney]

“You were laughing at everything TJ did!”

“He paper clipped a banana to the ceiling, Isabelle. That’s fucking bonkers”

[spindletrees]

This might be a good time for Ms. Psych degree here to step in and let ye all know that People Are Unable To Identify Flirting. There are double-blind studies to support this, if you instruct participants to flirt or not flirt with another participant, neither the second participant nor onlookers are able to accurately tell which instruction the first participant was given. Even if you get the flirting participant to rate their attraction to the person they’re flirting with, and only count trials where people are either flirting with people they find attractive, or not flirting with people they don’t find attractive NO ONE CAN TELL WHO IS FLIRTING OR WHO ISN’T.

[gallantblade475-blog-deactivate]

I’ve heard that people actually have a *less than 50% chance* of guess whether someone is flirting or not.

[saxifraga-x-urbium]

Thank fuck this isn’t just me failing at humanity

[stammsternenstaub]

SagePub has one such study here, dated 2014. There might be more recent work, however.

[powerarmor]

this guy created mcafee antivirus and then went completely off the rails. like absolute chaos. he got super rich, moved to Belize, was suspected of murdering his neighbor, fled Belize, had his location accidentally leaked by a Vice journalist who was with him lmfao, was apprehended in Guatemala, faked not one but two heart attacks while in custody to buy time for his lawyer, was deported back to the US, and then ran for president as a libertarian

Dragging cheaters fuels me

[kosmokhaos]

When people ask me why I care about cultural appropriation:

Because Kardashians will take cornrows 

And turn it into this.

Or take what is a racist caricature of a Black Bodies,

And turn it into this while be praised for it.

Or when Black women get mocked for their lips and Skin:

But Kylie Jenner can be praised for doing this:

Or when White people and celebrities can do this:

But women like this are seen as ugly (even in their own communities) or a called terrorists by others:

Things like that causes things like this:

Ok tell me how it doesn’t matter again?

[shes0rand0mnplain]

This is upsetting…

[arnoldpalmerinabklynfridge]

This got me tight no funny shit

[knifefightscene]

men b like ‘im gonna use math to sound like an intellectual while telling u how to use tampons u fucking bitch i never graduated elementary or learned how to respect women’

[dare-i-say-asexual]

Just leave each tampon in for 24hrs straight!! What do you mean toxic shock syndrome exists?!

[oysterhearted-deactivated202411]

it’s the 9 periods a year that rlly gets me

[citrineghost]

Does this fucking moron think that you just stick a tampon in and suddenly it’s full of your 5ml of designated blood and then you put another one in and repeat the next day?? It’s continuous you dumb piece of shit.

The ideal amount of tampons you’d use in 24 hours is 4 or so, assuming none slip and have to be replaced. Assuming you don’t take yours out when you shower to replace it after you get out. Assuming you don’t keep them in longer to save money or energy like many do.

The average period lasts 7 days or something. 7x4=28

You account for mishaps as mentioned, that uses up that bigass box in two cycles. I looked up boxes of tampons on Amazon and in the US I’m seeing what looks like at least ten bucks for every 50 tampons. If you’re using up 60+ every two months, that’s over 360 tampons for the year, aka ~$70 not including shipping. Now because most of us can’t afford to drop all that money at once just to save on shipping, let’s add $5 shipping to each 50 as well and thats + $25.

Because there’s also that margin of use for when you use more than 4 in a day, that’s over $100 every year. That doesn’t even fucking take into account that many people have periods nearly twice as long as that which can mean spending $150-$200 instead.

Oh but wait! There’s more!

Another thing this fucking moron forgot to take into account is liners. Cause so many people use them. Tons of people use liners because, without them, they’ll leak into their underwear and destroy them. Granted, these are cheaper than tampons, but you still have to account for the extra ~$20 a year that adds on.

Period cramps? Add on pain relievers.

Destroyed underwear? Add on a fucking absurd amount of money for those because the underwear industry likes to charge out the ass for a stupid piece of fabric for between your legs.

Add all this up and the average yearly cost for someone with a period is over $200 a year.

$200 a year for the necessities, yes, but after all of that suffering we go through, don’t forget that you get one extra, priceless thing added on, completely for free

Complete derision, disrespect, and disgusting treatment from Cis Men TM. Because HA HA HA you have mood swings and cry over everything and get angry over things they don’t have enough braincells to comprehend being upsetting due to their complete lack of empathy for anyone different from them. For the very low price of the very fabric of your dignity, you can be accused of being on your period the moment any little thing slightly offends you.

So yeah, this guy can go take his twenty fucking dollars a year that he doesn’t have to spend on tampons and invest in getting a fucking clue.

[apathetic-revenant]

on top of all of that he made me read the words ‘extra juicy uterine lining’ with my own eyes, which frankly should be a criminal offense.

[vladtheunfollower]

[newestvegas]

“Ah, Perry the platypus!”

“What an unexpected -“

“WAIT, WAIT, WAIT!”

“You’re trapped!”

“By societal convention!”

“Look! We’re in a fine dining environment. Everyone knows not to throw a scene in a fancy restaurant!”

“That’s right. You’re trapped. Sit down.”

[hummingbird-hooligan]

This show is fucking brilliant.

[laughing-llama]

did everyone else read that in his voice

[xiaq]

Overheard in the parking garage:

A 20-something guy in work-out gear talking on the phone: Listen. Listen. I have made a shitload of banana bread, man. I’m telling you, you’re going to fuck up the texture if you put that much sugar in. No. Bro. Listen to me. Do not– Well, I’m not going to eat it if it’s grainy as shit. Fine.
