tumblr isn’t a social media it’s a farmers market and the people you follow are the vendors and your mutuals are regulars and sometimes a person I buy pumpkins from will start selling realistic models of sailboats and damn i’m not gonna buy any but I will come by and compliment you on your sailboats

Sometimes the bakery stall that's been selling top tier muffins and bread for years all of a sudden has an entire table dedicated to moss balls wearing little hats. and the correct response to that is "okay! happy for you!"

I am super against light pollution, and have been for decades

but I am also super annoyed by the way it's framed as "without light pollution you can see how beautiful the night sky is" way more prominently than it's framed as "hey, did you ever stop to think of how much energy/resources/money are literally wasted by having so much light shine up into the sky?"

so people get the idea that light pollution can only be remedied by eliminating all night-time light, which would make being outside at night very inconvenient, instead of by making night-time light shine only on the ground where, y'know, the people who need it are

The mildest example of what OP's talking about in Dunedin, Aotearoa:

This is just with the streetlamp equivalent of using lampshades. Imagine what truly directional city lights could achieve?

Reblogging this again cause light pollution actually have negative health affects on humans and wildlife. We weren't meant to live in a world constantly bathed in light.

People often come into our lives to teach us. The ones that stir up the biggest reactions usually bring the lesson most needed.

When you feel irritated, annoyed or angry by a person, get curious. Those feelings are giving you a message.

Many things can be true at once.

Israel is an apartheid state that unjustly occupies Palestinian land.

Israel is a Jewish state.

Jews worldwide do not bear the responsibility of the Israeli army or government.

The American government backs Israel, largely because of the efforts of evangelical Christian lobbyists. Wether or not Jewish Americans want this is irrelevant to the USA military.

The American government is rooted in white supremacy and antisemitism, and is constantly verging on Christian theocracy.

Criticism of Israel, while necessary, can very easily be co-opted into antisemitism. It needs to be handled carefully.

We can expect both antisemitic and Islamophobic hate crimes to spike in the coming weeks.

Jews and Muslims are not enemies. We have to remember that and stand up for each other.

imagine being on your little dried peapod shell of a boat with your fragile little human self and then

out of the depths below

the Divine

God-Beasts

come right up to YOU

capable of crushing you without even noticing you

and ever so gently

so gently

roll back and forth around the dried leaf you're sitting on

just to maybe examine you and see what you're doing in their world.
