Adulthood is like I have to go buy more shampoo. I have to go buy more coffee grounds. I have to go buy more eggs. I have to go buy more toilet paper. I have to go buy more paper towels. I have to go buy more cumin. I have to clean the dishes so they can get dirty again. I have to do my laundry so it can get dirty again. I have to clean the bathroom so it can get dirty again. I have to buy more cleaner to clean the bathroom. I have to go buy more rice. I have to cook dinner. I have to cook dinner. I have to go buy more shampoo again.

god said let's give this bitch so much self awareness it's going to stop her from doing literally anything

[queerpontmercy]

less “if you see a man and woman together at pride be nice! they could be bi/pan/trans/ace/aro” and more “stop gendering strangers to harass them anywhere, but especially at pride holy shit”

[queerpontmercy]

you know what? i want this to reach the people who do this– especially the ones claiming to support trans folk (usually in really hollow ways lol i’m not bitter). keep reblogging– i want this sentiment to be widespread and for people to stop gendering strangers! especially in explicitly LGBTQ+ spaces!

America is built on this free pass/double standard. The two are inseparable.

Text reads: Diamonds may form under pressure, but bread rises when it's allowed to rest. Something that motivates someone else might not be good for you, and that's all right.

As you celebrate thanksgiving, know that the Trump administration is taking away 321 acres of land from the Mashpee-Wampanoag, the tribe that helped the pilgrims survive and were present at the first thanksgiving. Tell legislators to support the Mashpee Reservation Reaffirmation Act. ]

[cyborgoctopus]

For those who don’t live in Massachusetts, that is literally ALL THE LAND THEY HAVE! All of it. The state aims to make the entire ~3000 person tribe homeless.

[nerielle]

If you want more information the tribe themselves have a website for you to look at! Please spread the word and reach out to your networks so people are feeling specifically asked to act upon this… it is incumbent upon all of us to stand up for our Mashpee-Wampanoag siblings at this time. We MUST be their allies. We MUST uplift their voices and support what their asks are. 

We owe all Indigenous peoples in this country so much more than this… but this is a start.

Agdgsgsgsg I’m LIVING for this Reef2Reef thread. This guy was worried about his urchins getting sunburnt so he made them little hats

[letsgetsalty]

IT GETS BETTER

[bogleech]

In the wild these urchins will in fact carry a small rock or shell exactly on top like this and im so happy there's people taking advantage of that and who care about their urchins as pets.

[commander-ledi]

i visited an aquarium at some point, and our tour guide told that when the staff had a party, they put a little decorative plastic hat from a booze bottle into the sea urching tank, and just left it there because the sea urchins liked it, and kept taking turns in wearing it.

[goingknowherewastaken]

Discovering that sea urchins wearing hats is a thing in this world means so much to me rn

[gallusrostromegalus]

As a species, humans have a lot of faults but our relentless desire to put tiny hats on animals is not one of them.

Sign the Petition

STOP ICE FROM POISONING IMMIGRANTS!

Help stop the gassing of Immigrants!!

[milf-adjacent]

We need to do more than sign a petition. Don't shut up about this.

[guiltyidealist]

Hey, followers?

Don't scroll past this.

[dandymeowth]

There are people in the notes saying this isn’t a gassing and it’s “just” a disinfectan0 being sprayed on surfaces to avoid covid, and people are “just” having allergic reactions to it

https://dandymeowth.tumblr.com/post/619934243092561920/your-url-is-problematic-odddior-i-know

That post explains better what this chemical is and what is going on.

“The guards are spraying this disinfectant in retaliation for the report [that revealed the deplorable health conditions in detention centers]. To be clear - HDQ is an industrial-strength disinfectant, which according to the manufacturer is “harmful if inhaled” and “causes severe skin burns and serious eye damage.” The guards are spraying it on everything every 15-30 minutes, according to sources, and immigrants in the center have already experienced severe symptoms including blisters, rashes, bleeding, fainting, breathing difficulties, headaches, stomach pain, and nausea. “

It’s not just allergic reactions. That’s a severe misunderstanding of what disinfectants do and a refusal to acknowledge how serious this is and WHY people are freaking out.

No, they’re not literally being gassed in the grandiose (gore-iose?) way you’d think of - being shoved into an iron chamber like animals that then is filled with gas that melts their skin... But they are still being forced to into small areas with harmful fumes and surfaces covered in chemicals that are made to eat living matter.

If you had to be in a room for days and weeks with bleach or peroxide all over everything, you don’t need to be allergic to start having severe reactions. Cleaning chemicals say to use protective gear and ventilate the area for a REASON.

This is really not okay. It wasn’t okay before, and now it’s worse than it was.

[curiousobsession101]

I work as a university custodian. This is the chemical we’re using to sanitize surfaces we’ve cleaned due to coronavirus. We’re not supposed to spray it directly on any surfaces. We spray it onto a cloth and then wipe surfaces with it. It’s supposed to dry before people come into contact with those surfaces. Once it dries on water fountains it’s rinsed off (I don’t know if it actually does anything to rinse it off when it’s already dried but that’s the procedure - we have to let it dry to make sure it’s had enough time to kill virus particles). That’s in university buildings with extra ventilation that are sanitized twice a day. This is horrifying.

[theburialofstrawberries]

The idea that Trump has been a relatively dove-ish non-interfering U.S President in such a way that a Democratic presidency will be actively worse for the rest of the world (instead of business as usual) doesn’t hold water…of course he stands on the shoulders of prolific war criminals like Obama but until someone does a comprehensive comparative please don’t give Republican propaganda credibility ajsgdjshjhk…BOTH parties are imperialist cesspools, we know this, anyway 

Trump launched more airstrikes on Somalia in his term than in Obama’s two terms, he also bombed Yemen more than all previous presidencies combined and has made the region into “the largest humanitarian crisis in the world” (e.g. in an early attack just weeks after being sworn in his troops leveled the village of al-Ghayil and killed at least ten children under the age of 13, some with bullets to the neck) 

Trump’s administration increased exports of major arms by 23%, selling billions of dollars of weapons to Saudi Arabia and abetting them in air raids of Houthi rebels and Yemeni civilians 

He loosened rules of engagement for cyber attacks, giving greater reins to the CIA who got to carry out their attack wish list, including leaking the bank details of millions of Iranian citizens  

Speaking of Iran of course Trump withdrew from the nuclear deal and literally killed their military commander Qassem Soleimani, an unprovoked and unimaginable act of aggression the likes of which I believe the U.S. has not done since WW2? It nearly brought Iran and U.S. to the brink of war

He announced new sanctions against Venezuela that has exacerbated famine conditions in the country where people have lost something like 11kg of body weight on avg.; new sanctions against Cuba too 

He said that he’d withdraw all troops from Afghanistan but he hasn’t, he withdrew a few thousand from Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria but then deployed a couple thousand more to the Persian Gulf after escalation with Iran (god forgive me for linking to the NYT here)

And of course he said that Chelsea Manning should never have been released from jail and continued the indefensible and inhumane prosecution of Julian Assange, who is not even a U.S. citizen; on the flip side, he has pardoned the kind of unspeakable war crimes these journalists are being punished for uncovering

And somehow they still managed to trip and fall all over it. I’m not sure what’s happening in Tennessee, but they at least appear to be fielding some fire ass progressives. Remember Keeda Haynes? These seem like the kind of people who the DNC and the DCCC need to be throwing some money at. Instead of Republican-lite centrists. And I know he lost this time, but might as well make it a real choice. Eventually progressive policies will win.

[b1rdonawire]

you do know that when jewish and romani people say “never forget” we mean “learn about the holocaust so you can recognize the warning signs of facism and genocide” not “repeatedly bring up the holocaust whenever anything bad happens and exploit our pain and trauma to make people care about your cause” and when we say “never again” we mean “take action to prevent any stage of genocide on any scale by any means, hold collaborators responsible and don’t be complicit” not “only care about genocide when it’s too late”, right? or did you think it was just a fun catchphrase?

[b1rdonawire]
